Cleaning
Use a chimney brush designed specifically for the
type of chimney you have installed to remove
accumulated creosote. We recommend that you
contact a certified chimney sweep to perform
this service. Contact your dealer for the names of
certified chimney sweeps in your area (your dealer
may be one).
We recommend getting a professional to check,
clean and repair the entire system, if necessary,
before each season.
SEALS
Replace the ceramic door seal every two or three
seasons or whenever damaged or loose, depending
on the use given to the stove. If the door seal is
not airtight, a new seal will ensure the stove's
airtightness and improve its performance.
We recommend only using spare parts supplied by
an official Hergom dealer whenever you need to
change the doors seals. Contact your dealer for a
replacement kit that includes instructions and the
ceramic seals suitable for your stove
GLASS PANE
The glass panes installed in our stoves are not made
of regular glass but of a transparent ceramic
material capable of withstanding temperatures
exceeding 800 °C. Do not use the oven if the glass
pane on the door is broken. Do not knock or slam
the front door.
When necessary, clean the glass. We recommend
using a damp paper towel soaked in the grey ash
from the stove. Rub the inside of the glass in circular
movements. After removing all soot particles, use a
commercial glass cleaning product (available from
your dealer) to clean the glass pane. Never attempt
to clean the glass pane while wood is burning in the
stove or while the glass is hot.
Important: scratching or etching the glass will
weaken it. Do not use a razor blade, steel wool or
other abrasive materials to clean the glass. Use a
cleaner specifically made for log stoves.
If you change the glass pane yourself, wear working
gloves and safety glasses.
CHANGING THE GLASS PANE

WITHOUT THE GLASS PANE OR WITH A BROKEN
OR CRACKED PANE. DO NOT FORCE THE DOOR,
FOR EXAMPLE, KNOCKING IT OR SLAMMING
IT. THE GLASS PANE MUST ONLY BE CHANGED BY
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
Follow the instructions included with the glass
replacement kit.
1. Remove the door.
2. Remove the screws holding the glass fixing
clips (use penetrating oil if necessary) -
remove the glass fixing clips upward. Set
them aside for the new installation.
3. Carefully lift the damaged glass, removing it
from the door and discard.
4. Carefully remove the remains of any old glass

8. Recheck the position of the glass (centred and
parallel), then screw the fixing clips (diagonal
cross system) to the door. Tighten the screws
no more than 1/4 turn. If the glass is not
positioned correctly, it will break.
