2. LIGHTING AND REGULATING
COMBUSTION
FIG. 5
Follow the instructions below to regulate
combustion:
• Move the regulation valve from right to left
to provide a greater inflow of air to favour
combustion (FIG. 5).
• When lighting, we recommend moving the
combustion regulation valve completely to
the left.
It is essential to provide an abundant load of fuel
when lighting. The following loads will depend on
the heat requirement desired.
EIt is advisable to leave the door partially open
to avoid condensation and to keep the glass
clean for some minutes after lighting the fire.
Once the fireplace is working at its normal level
and the chimney has heated up, regulate
combustion by means of the regulation valve.
When the inflow of air is fully closed, combustion
will be slow; when the inflow of air is open,
combustion will be more intense.
For the best performance from your appliance,
place the combustion regulation valve in the
central position.
If the compact fireplace is used in a room together
with other heating appliances that also need air
for combustion purposes, it is advisable to
prepare an additional air intake of outside air to
facilitate the said combustion processes.
The use of one or more heating devices in the
same room reduces the level of available oxygen,
affecting the combustion of the fireplace and
reducing the draw of the chimney.
Actuating the control valve as described in the
previous steps, provides a greater inflow of air for
the combustion process; this provision of air takes
place at the height of the andiron and the upper
part of the glass. Check when loading that the air
inlet at the height of andiron is free from ashes.
Otherwise, clean it to provide a proper
combustion process. This will contribute to the
dual purpose of keeping the glass clean and
facilitating the lighting up process.
ATTENTION! When working, the metal parts of
the fireplace may reach high temperatures.
Protect your hands with a fireproof glove when
touching the said parts.
If you should detect any overheating of the
fireplace caused by:
- Fan breakdown.
- Faulty thermostat.
The fire must be put out to avoid possible damage
to the compact fireplace and to its coating. Follow
these recommendations:
• Do not add any more fuel
• Open the door slightly to let more air in; this
will cause the flames to grow and consume
the fuel more quickly but will also cool the
chimney and reduce draw, cooling the
appliance.
The compact SERE has been designed to operate
using intermittent combustion processes.

3 - CLEANING
THE FRONT
Preferably clean when the Fireplace is cold,
using a slightly damp cloth.
THE GLASS PANE
Fireplace window cleaning liquids are effective
products.
Never try to clean the glass while the fireplace is
working. We recommend using HERGOM
window cleaning products.
Replacing: the glass pane in your fireplace is
made of thermal material, especially
manufactured for log and/or coal fireplaces. If it
should break due to an accident, it 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 on how to assemble
and seal it.
BAFFLE PLATE
Clean the deflector on both sides at least once
each season using a brush. This will facilitate
the transmission of air through the plate and
avoid its deterioration to a great extent.
Replace the deflector following the steps
indicated in the chapter 6.
JOINTS AND SEALS
It is advisable to perform a visual inspection of
the door joints at the beginning and in midseason to ensure they are airtight. If necessary,
contact our Distributor to supply you with the
appropriate seal, along with assembly
instructions.
4 - 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 appliance when it is in
use.
Make sure that children or other people who
are not familiar with how the appliance 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 may arise when
operating your solid fuel fireplace with fuel of
any brand. The said risks can be minimised if
the instructions and recommendations included
in this manual are followed.
• Keep any flammable material (furniture,
curtains, clothes...) away from the
fireplace, at a safe distance of at least
0,90m. (Fig. 6)
• Ash should be emptied into a metal
container and immediately removed from
the house.
• Do not use flammable liquids to light the
fireplace. Keep any type of flammable
liquid (petrol, gasoline, alcohol,....) at a
distance from the fireplace.
• Periodically inspect the chimney and clean
it whenever necessary. Also inspect the
state of seals, glass, screws...
• Do not install near walls that are
combustible or that feature any type of
lining that may be damaged or deformed
by high temperatures (varnish, paint...).
Precautions should also be taken to
prevent placing the hot air grilles on
combustible items.

• Protect your hands with a glove or other
insulating material because, during
operation, the opening and closing handle
will be hot.
REPLACING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE
If the power supply cable has been damaged, it
should be replaced by the manufacturer, via its
Technical Service, or by qualified personnel, in
order to avoid risks.
When installing the compact SERE fireplace,
follow the installation advice below for your
own safety:
1. The base where you are going to place your
SERE must be flat and provide a perfect
seat for your fireplace. The base must be
built using heat resistant materials.
2. The gap in which your SERE fireplace will be
installed must be completely free from
debris and waste materials that may ignite
when the fireplace is working.
3. The inside of the gap where the SERE
fireplace is to be installed will be
appropriately insulated or built of materials
that resist high temperatures.
4. If insulation must be installed inside the
gap, do not cover the ventilation grille.
5. Never wrap the insert fireplace in
insulation material as this will damage it.
INDUSTRIAS HERGÓM, S.A., rejects any liability
derived from a faulty installation or incorrect
use and reserves the right to alter its products
without prior warning.
Any liability due to manufacturing defects will
be subject to the criteria and verification of the
