Combustion Level; Precaution For Excessive Fires - Hergom SHELBURNE Libro De Instrucciones Para La Instalación, Mantenimiento Y Uso

For normal lighting, proceed as follows:
g) Open the door and place a couple of lighting tablets on the base of the
fireplace. Cross some kindling over the tablets. The kindling will be around 10
pieces with a diameter of 10/15 mm and a length of 25/40 cm.
h) Open the primary air control fully by pushing the lever forwards.
i) Light the paper underneath the kindling. Leave the front door ajar until the
kindling begins to burn and the draught begins to rise.
j) Close the door and allow the fire to light.
k) Once the kindling is lit, open the door and add logs, first small ones, to form
the fire.
cleaning system may work correctly. On the other hand, keep the front door
and the ash pan door in place while the stove is operating.
l) Once the fire is well lit, use the primary air to control the working level
required. Push the lever forwards opens the primary air control to achieve a
high working level and backwards to achieve a slow working level.
N.B.: When opening the door to load wood or replace the logs in your stove, we
recommend you first open it slightly, then wait a few seconds before opening it fully.
This will ensure the fireplace is smoke-free when the stove door is fully opened and that
no smoke enters the room. Likewise, reloading on a bed of red hot coals reduces the
smoke and will reach high temperatures quickly with fresh loads.
3. COMBUSTION LEVELS
HIGH COMBUSTION: Load the fireplace fully with wood on a bed of red hot coals or
on the flames and fully open the primary air control. A high level is recommendable once or
twice a day to heat the chimney and the stove well, thus helping prevent the creation and
accumulation of creosote.
MEDIUM COMBUSTION: Place the primary air control cam halfway along its run,
suitable for heating needs in the area to be heated. This level is suitable when the stove is
to be left unattended.
LOW COMBUSTION: Close the primary air control for slow combustion. A low level
of combustion for excessively long periods is not recommendable as it promotes the
accumulation of creosote.
The evacuation system must be frequently inspected if the low level of combustion is
maintained continuously.
4. PRECAUTIONS FOR EXCESSIVE FIRES
Excessive fires imply that the stove is operating at temperatures above those
recommended above in the COMBUSTION LEVELS section. Excessive fires must be
carefully avoided as they will cause damage to your stove.
The symptoms of an excessive fire, even during short periods of time, include
rumbling noises from stove and the chimney connection pipe and the decolouring of the
chimney tube.
Excessive fires may be caused by extreme draught in the chimney, unsuitable fuel or
an erroneous operation.
Ensure that the wood is away from the glass so that the glass
