I.- INTRODUCTION
This model features a cast iron front with a vitreous porcelain enamel surface in
several colours; polished brass hinges (also available in chrome) and the controls are
decorated in black porcelain.
The legs are made of chromed cast iron.
The internal structure is made of galvanised steel.
The top frame is made of stainless steel with a polished cast iron rim, and the top
plate is made of cast iron enamelled in vitreous porcelain, with a hotplate area. The
smoke outlet ring is made of cast iron enamelled in vitreous porcelain. The cooker is
supplied with the smoke outlet ring installed on the top outlet. This can be changed to
the back outlet by simply removing the ring from the top outlet and placing it in the
back outlet (section II).
The oven door includes a double glass-ceramic tinted window with a thermometer to
control the temperature at which food is prepared.
The stainless steel oven includes oven tray anti-tip supports thanks to which the tray
can be pulled out almost completely without the risk of its contents sliding off. These
supports are easy to remove (slide them up, free them from the lower hole and then
slide them out to free them from the top hole) to clean outside the oven.
The hearth door includes a glass-ceramic window to be able to view the fire.
The soot cover is hidden under the oven door.

the smoke outlet ring
installed on the upper outlet.
In order to change the ring
from the top to the back
outlet, release the four screws
that attach it to the hob,
remove the cover on the back
outlet and install the ring.
Place the ring on the back
outlet and the cover on the
top outlet.
III.- INSTALLATIÓN
He way the cooker is installed will decisively affect safety issues and how it
works
It is important to install the cooker correctly.
In order to ensure it has been installed correctly, it should be installed by a
professional.
A.- Chimneys.
The way the cooker works depends on:
a) The chimney.
b) How it is used.
c) The quality of the fuel used.
Over the years, you may change the type of fuel you use but, once the chimney has
been installed in a given place, it is not so easy to alter or reposition.
Therefore, the following information will help you decide whether you can use your
present chimney or not, or help you decide to build a new one.
31
This information will help you make the correct decision
1.- How chimneys work
A basic knowledge of the dynamics of chimneys will help you make the most of your
Nansa cooker.
Chimneys:
a) Safely evacuate smoke and gasses from the house.
b) Provide sufficient draw in the hearth to keep the fire alive.
.
What is the "chimney draw"?
The tendency air has to rise generates the chimney effect.
When a cooker is lit, hot air rises through the chimney. The chimney flue heats up and
keeps it drawing. Until the cooker and the chimney are hot enough, the chimney effect
will not work properly.
The chimney effect depends on the location, size and height of the chimney.
The following must be taken into consideration:
-Chimneys located inside a house keep warm and, therefore, chimney draw is
greater.
-The chimney size recommended by the manufacturer will provide a good
chimney effect.
-The height of a chimney affects how it draws:
greater height => better chimney effect
The chimney must project at least one metre over the highest part of the roof.
Other factors also affect chimney draw:
-Houses that have very good internal insulation, free from draughts, provide
inadequate draw as no air enters the building. This can be corrected by
allowing external air to reach the cooker.
-High trees and/or buildings near the house also have a negative effect on
chimney draw.
-Wind speed. Usually, sustained strong winds increase chimney draw but
stormy winds have a negative effect.
32
-External temperature. The colder it is outside, the greater the chimney effect.
-Atmospheric pressure. The chimney effect is usually poor on rainy, damp or
stormy days.
-Intensity of the fire. The hotter the fire, the stronger the chimney effect.
-Cracks in the chimney, badly sealed or dirty covers, air entering through
pipe joints, other devices connected to the chimney.... may affect chimney
draw negatively.
2.- Creosote formation and cleaning.
When wood burns slowly, it produces tar and other organic fumes that, when
combined with a damp atmosphere, form creosote.
Creosote fumes may condense if the chimney walls are cold. If it catches fire,
extremely tall fires may be caused.
Any accumulation of creosote must be eliminated.
As the accumulation of creosote depends on a number of variables, it is very difficult
to know when the chimney should be cleaned.
The safest way of ensuring that the chimney of your cooker is creosote free is by
performing a visual inspection.
Consequently, we recommend building installations that are easy to access.
3.- Options.
If you are going to build a chimney for a Hergóm Nansa cooker, you have two
alternatives:
a) Brickwork chimneys.
b) Metal chimneys.
Studies have reached the conclusion that there is no great difference in performance
between metal and brick-cement chimneys. You will have to choose one or the other.
Whenever possible, build your chimney inside the house; this will provide better draw,
lower creosote accumulation and a longer life.
The advantages of brick chimneys include:
33
a) Fumes cool off more slowly inside the chimney due to the mass of bricks and
tiles.
b) As bricks accumulate heat, the house keeps warm longer after the fire is put
out.
c) It can be built to the specific requirements of each person.
d) If well built, it will be more resistant to fire than metal chimneys.
Brick chimneys must be well lined to prevent the fumes from losing temperature.
They must be built with materials that support high temperatures and corrosion.
They may be round, square...., what matters is their size.
Brick-work chimneys for the Hergom Nansa cooker must comply with the
measurements indicated in the chapter on TECHNICAL DATA.
The advantages of metal chimneys include:
a) Easy installation.
b) It is possible to change the direction of the chimney slightly, which provides
greater flexibility when deciding where the chimney should be installed.
c) Curved joints can be used, which eliminates acute angles that have a
negative effect on draw.
4.- Connection to the chimney
A cast iron joint is provided to connect the cooker to the chimney (in the luxe version).
The said joint is fitted to the outside of the cooker ring and, in turn, fitted to vertical
Ӆ
150mm pipes. The male coupling of the pipes is connected to the cast iron joint.
Bends and horizontal sections, which have a negative effect on draw and favour the
formation of creosote and soot, must be avoided in the vertical section of the chimney.
It is very important to seal the ring - elbow - pipe joint using refractory putty, plaster
or some other appropriate material to prevent air from seeping in.
The connection of the pipes that form the chimney, in the case of metal pipes, must be
sealed during assembly with the male coupling facing downwards. This will prevent
any creosote that forms inside from leaking out.
This advice must be followed whenever wood or coal is used as fuel.
5.- Some rules
34
We shall now explain a number of rules that should be followed when building a
chimney:
a) Use resistant, fireproof materials. Do not use cement asbestos pipes in the
first 2-3 metres.
b) Choose the most vertical route possible. Do not connect several devices to
the same chimney.
Fig.-2
c)The conduit should not come to an end near buildings and must be higher
than the nearest obstacle if there is another building nearby.
Fig.-3
d) Install the conduit in an area as protected from the cold as possible.
If possible, the chimney should be built inside the house.
e)The internal walls must be perfectly smooth and free from obstacles. Avoid
bottlenecks where pipes join to the brick chimneys.
35
Fig.-4
f) It is very important to ensure that the joints of the pipes are well sealed to
avoid possible cracks through which air may enter.
..
Fig.-5
In order to verify the air-tightness of the chimney, you may:
-Cover the outlet on the roof.
-Introduce damp paper and straw at the bottom of the chimney and light it
up.
-Watch for possible cracks through which smoke leaks out and seal them.
.

g) The chimney should be one metre higher than the highest part of the house. If
you need to increase the draw, extend the length of the chimney.
Fig.-7
h) Chimney covers must not affect chimney draw.
.
Fig.-8
Industrias Hergóm, S.A.., with a view to ensuring the perfect performance of its
cookers, supplies painted and enamelled pipes, elbow joints and steel adaptors, based
on the measurements indicated in the catalogue.
i) When the cooker is connected to a brick-work chimney, we recommend the
use of a 90º cast iron or steel elbow joint. Make sure that the connection is
totally air-tight.

j) Avoid any excessive length in the connection of the cooker with the chimney
and any negative inclination

k) Clean the chimney at least once a year.
The most efficient way of cleaning chimney conduits is using appropriate chimney
brushes. Chemical products are available to help postpone classical chimney
sweeping operations.
Chimney brushes must adapt as closely as possible to the chimney diameter.
The joints of the pipes that form the chimney, in the case of metal pipes, must be
sealed with refractory putty.
l) External metal chimneys must be built with special double insulated pipes for
solid fuels.
