IMPORTANT NOTE
If the device is not installed correctly, it will not provide the excellent service for which it has been
designed. Please, read these instructions in full and trust the work to a specialist.
The surface of your device is protected by a coat of special anti-heat paint that resists high
temperatures. When lighting the fireplace for the first few times, the said paint may emit
some fumes. This is normal and is due to the evaporation of certain components of the
paint while it adapts to the heat. We, therefore, recommend ventilating the room until this
phenomenon ceases to appear.

1 - INTRODUCTION
IMPORTANT! All local regulations, including those that refer to national or European
regulations, must be applied when installing this device.
The way the E-30 XS Stove is installed will decisively affect safety issues and its correct operation.
It is important to install the fireplace correctly. For the correct installation of the E-30 Stove
and chimney, we recommend the installation be
performed by a professional.
The E-30 XS Stove provides heat by radiation; directly heating walls, ceilings...
Special care must be taken when installing a stove such that the requirements of the Health &
Safety at Work Act are met.
Handling
Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the
skin. In case of contact wash immediately with plenty of water.
PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS
IMPORTANT WARNING
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance. There
must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove because this can cause the
stove to emit fumes into the room.
Asbestos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in the coarse of
installation then please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate protective equipment.
Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove care should be taken to avoid the possibility of personal
injury.
CO Alarms:-
Building regulations require that when ever a new or replacement fixed solid fuel or wood/biomass
appliance is installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide alarm must be fitted in the same room as
the appliance. Further guidance on the installation of the carbon monoxide alarm is available in
BS EN 50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s instructions. Provision of an alarm must
not be considered a substitute for either installing the appliance correctly or ensuring
regular servicing and maintenance of the appliance and chimney system.
Stove paint Aerosols
Paint aerosols are flammable and therefore dangerous to use around a lit stove. Be sure to
allow aerosols spray paints to dry and ventilate the room well before lighting the stove.
The use of any aerosol around lit stove is dangerous and care must be take in handling
aerosols.

FIG.2

3 – MOUNTING THE STOVE
We strongly recommend professionals install the stove for you.
To unpack your stove, remove the screws and staples that fasten it to the pallet. Your stove will
weigh more than 100 Kg. Take your stove out of the pallet carefully and with the necessary help
and place it where you intend to install it.
Once it has been installed, ensure that it is stable. If necessary, the stove can be regulated
levelling screws.
Connect the stove to the chimney ensuring the union is perfectly sealed. Please read the chimney
installation chapter in the installation manual for the engineer.
Keep the packaging elements of your stove until you have ensured it works properly.
Recycle packaging materials, such as cardboard, wood, plastic…
Do not use the packaging materials to light your stove.
CHANGING THE SMOKE OUTLET TO THE REAR ONE
To change the smoke extract to the rear one, please follow the
following steps:
Note that the rear protector panel of your stove has a round cut out
piece held in place at three points.
Push and pull the top of the circle several times, gently, outwards
and inwards. The piece will come off easily, leaving a smoke outlet
on the rear side. There is no need to dismantle this piece. If
necessary, file down the burr remaining in the open hole.
Open the stove door and dismantle the deflector dolly and the
deflector itself, and remove them from the stove. The two smoke
outlets shall be in full view.
Dismantle the smoke cover from the rear by
unscrewing the two screws and the washers that fasten it.
Then, remove the screws and washers that fasten the flue collar of
the smoke outlet from the upper side.
Place the flue collar of the smoke outlet on the rear side, ensuring
the seal is in its correct position and fasten it with the corresponding
screws and washers.
Place the cover on the upper part of the stove ensuring the seal is
in its correct position and fasten it with the screws and washers.
Note that the top only has one possible position according to the
form of the upper part of the stove.

4 - USING THE STOVE
Once your stove has been installed and connected to the chimney, you are ready to light the fire. Although
your stove is easy to use, the combustion process of solid fuels is complicated, as it involvesseveral factors
and it takes time and experience to understand the process.
Before lighting your stove for the first time, please take time to become familiar with the different control
systems and parts of the unit, how to choose the wood, how to light it and use it on a daily basis.
ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND that the stove generates heat and, therefore, keep children, clothing, furniture... at
a distance to prevent burns from direct contact with the appliance.
Below, we have included some advice on your stove and on its use. Please read with care.
Door handle
To open the door, turn the handle upward to the open
position, and gently pull. Use the cold handle if the stove is
hot.
The door can open up to 180º
To close, turn the knob to the open position, close the door,
press slightly and turn the handle gently down to the closed
position (Fig. 3).
Valve for firing and for regulating
coal
Open the firing valve to its fullest extent
when lighting the stove, pulling it gently
towards the exterior (Fig. 3).
When burning firewood it is advisable
to close it completely once the fire has
been lit.
This valve is normally used for
regulating the coal combustion.
Primary air valve - Glass cleaning
Open the valve to its fullest extent when lighting
the stove, turning it to the right.
Once optimum combustion has been achieved, regulate the valve to prevent too much air
entering, and combustion and too high temperatures.
An intermediate position is generally best, but this also depends on the quality and the draught of the
chimney installed and the fuel type used (hard or soft wood) (Fig. 3)
Secondary Air
The entry of secondary air through the holes on the rear side optimises combustion and regulates
automatically depending on the behaviour or the combustion.
Grate shaker
When coal is used as a fuel it is advisable to eliminate the agglutination of live coals that tends to occur at
the base.
The tool for shaking the grate is a rod with a slot to the right of
the mouth of the housing of the ash box.
To move this tool always use the cold handle for opening in the
position shown in Figure 4.
Push inwards and extract outwards several times in a to and fro
movement to make the slats turn.
Finally leave the slats in the closed position with the rod facing
outwards and extract the cold handle.
Place the cold handle in vertical position with the stop rod
downwards (Fig.5) enables shaking the grate, but the stopper
limits the movement and prevents it from opening completely. This
also avoids pieces of coal clogging the movement of the grate.

Ash box. Very important!
Never open the ash box if the stove is in operation. Always operate the ash box when the
stove is cold.
Access can be had to the ash box by opening the fire chamber door
To clean the fire chamber of ash, first use the cold
handle to move the shaker rods inwards so as to turn
the slats of the grate-shaker to the open position.
Extract the ash box and clean out the ashes
Once it has been emptied of ashes replace the ash box
and push it in as far as it will go.
Again leave the slats of the shaker in the closed
position, pulling the cold handle outwards.
Extract the cold handle again.
5 - LIGHTING UP AND USE
RECOMMENDED FUELS
WOOD
Use logs with a humidity level lower than 20%.
Firewood should be left to dry between 12 and 18
months to achieve this level of humidity.
Poor quality wood causes combustions of low efficiency, condensations and reduces the self-cleaning of
the glass, as well as the life of the stove.
Do not burn wood from construction sites, painted or treated wood, prefabricated boards or treated pallets.
COAL
Use only anthracite coal or special prefabricated briquettes for use in heating systems.
Do not use bituminous or petroleum derivatives. This will render the product warranty void.
For supplies of adequate coal supplies, please contact your stove dealer.
CONSUMPTION
The consumption for the stove according to the tests carried out pursuant to the EN13240 standard for
intermittent use is as follows:
Beech wood
1,46 Kg./h
Anthracite
0,69 Kg/h
Important at first start: may come off a few drops of condensed water from the stove, produced
by the humidity of the environment where the stove was stored.
It is very important that the first time the heater is lit, it is done so slowly.
This is for the following reasons:
• Stabilise cast iron parts.
•Harden the joint sealant putty.
Advise:
•We recommend that the first loads of fuel be small.
•To generate draw, heat the chimney by introducing some burning paper in the gap
between the front and the deflector, directing it toward the chimney.
•While lighting for the first time, ensure the room where the heater is located is well ventilated as
the paint work may let off some fumes.
•Keep the stove on for a few hours at this intensity.
Please note that during use, the seal on the door may loose its colour. This is normal.
•IMPORTANT! The total height of the fire load should not exceed 50% of the height of
the combustion chamber.
•The heater must be closed at all times during combustion to prevent smoke from
leaking out. Only open to add fuel.
FIG.7

Daily use
After lighting up for the first time, your heater will be ready for daily use.
Your heat requirements will be obtained based on the frequency and the amount of firewood you
load.
When your heater is cold, we recommend lighting it up slowly.
Overheating.
Overheating means that you have operated your heater at a excessively high
temperatures for a long period of time. This can damage your appliance and, therefore, it is a
situation that must be avoided.
Overheating is the result of excessive draw, due to any of the following reasons:
•The Primary Air Valve is excessively open for the type of wood being used.
• The chimney is too big.
•Improper maintenance of the stove, which may result in air infiltration.
•Inappropriate fuel that produces high temperatures.
• Door not closed correctly.
BEWARE!
Uncontrolled air entry leads to overheating that may damage the stove.
HEATERS WITH ENAMEL IN MAJOLICA VERY IMPORTANT!
In the case of stoves enamelled in Majolica, it is normal for slight fissures to appear in the glazing,
providing the product with its characteristic appearance, once the heater is lit.
However, in the event of uncontrolled overheating, these fissures caused by the different
expansion levels of the cast iron and the Majolica enamel with vitreous components, can cause
the enamel to chip.
To avoid this inconvenience, control combustion and never overheat the heater.
INDUSTRIAS HERGÓM S.A. may not be held liable for the deterioration of the stove’s enamel if
these instructions are not followed.
6 - CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Your heater is a device that is subjected to extreme temperatures and to the corrosive
effects of combustion residual materials. Regular maintenance is essential for a longer life and
improved user experience. We recommend performing the following inspections frequently.
DURING THE SEASON
• Perform a visual inspection of the chimney. Clean soot and tar if they have begun to
accumulate on the inner walls of the heater.
•Check whether the doors close tightly; adjust if necessary.
AT THE END OF THE SEASON
• Inspect and clean the chimney.
•Use the vacuum cleaner to clean inside the heater and inspect it.
•Any soot and tar (creosote) that has accumulated on the walls of the heater will
hinder performance.
•Inspect door seals. These should be replaced when they no longer seal the door perfectly.
•In the case of painted heaters, paint the cast iron parts again if necessary
CLEANING
Cleaning should always be performed when the heater is cold.
Cleaning ash.
These heaters are equipped with an ash pan located at the bottom of the heater.
Remove the ash pan and remove the ash.
Ash should be emptied into a metal container and immediately removed from the house.
If necessary clean the ash pan housing.
Enamelled parts.
Preferably use a damp cloth.
Do not used strong or abrasives detergents that might damage the surface.

Painted parts
Clean with a dry cloth to avoid rust.
Chimney and connecting unit
Read the chapter in the Manual for Installers that refers to this topic.
DOOR PANES
Cleaning
Fireplace window cleaning liquids are quite effective products.
Never try to clean the glass while the fireplace is working.
We recommend using HERGOM window cleaning products for their proven efficacy.
If the glass pane on the fireplace door is constantly covered in soot, this means your fire is “poor”
and that the connecting pipe and chimney are being blocked by soot and creosote.
Replacing.
The glass panes in your heater have been especially manufactured for log stoves.
If they should break, they must be replaced by another glass pane with the same technical
specifications. Contact our Distributor to provide you with the appropriate glass pane, together
with instructions to assemble and seal.
MAINTENANCE PRODUCTS
Industrias HERGÓM, S.A. places a range of products for the preservation of your heater and
chimney at your disposal: heat resistant paint, refractory putty, anti-soot products, fire-lighters,
glass cleaning products.
7 - SAFETY
WARNING!
Gas/log/pellet units get hot when in use. Consequently,
owners must act with precaution and keep at a
distance. Especially keep children,
the elderly and other people who require special
supervision, as well as pets, away from the fireplace
when it is in use.
Make sure that children or other people who are not
familiar with how the device works are supervised by
responsible people when they are near the fireplace.
In order to prevent burns or children or other people
from coming near the appliance, use a fire grille or
screen.
A number of possible risks are present when operating your solid fuel oven with fuel of any brand.
The said risks can be minimised if the instructions and recommendations included in this manual
are followed.
•When installing the stove, observe the necessary safety distances for the oven and
chimney from combustible surfaces (wooden or papered walls, wooden floors...). Safety distances
must be respected when the lining on walls or nearby areas may be damaged or deformed
by temperature (varnish, paint, PVC...). Fig. 6
•The base where you are going to install your heater must be flat and provide a perfect
seat. The said base must also be capable of supporting the weight of the heater. The base must
be built using heat resistant materials.
•All the area around the heater should must be heat resistant. If not, they must be protected by
fire-proof material.
•Ash should be emptied into a metal container and immediately removed from the house.
• Do not use flammable liquids to light the stove.
Keep any type of flammable liquid (petrol, gasoline, alcohol,....) at a distance from the fireplace.
•Never use coal or fuels that are not recommended for the operation of this
250
FIG.7

product.
• Periodically inspect the chimney and clean
whenever necessary. Also inspect the state of joints, glass, screws...
•Protect your hands with a glove or other insulating material because, during
operation, the opening and closing handle will be hot.
OUTSIDE AIR CONNECTION
•When installing the stove using the outside air connection, we recommend that the installation is
performed by qualified personnel.
•Always keep in mind that air is entering the stove through the connector. This air inlet can never
be blocked. Ensure that the pipe connecting the stove to the outside cannot be crushed and that
the entrance to the pipe cannot be blocked on the outside. It is
necessary to cover the inlet with a protective grill.
•The location of the outside air inlet of air must be protected from
the wind to avoid a possible positive or negative pressure from affecting the combustion of the stove.
•Refer to the technical specifications at the end of this manual for the minimum diameter and the
maximum length of the pipe to be connected.
