Cleaning Of The Glass; Cleaning Of The Ash Drawer; Summer Stop; Connecting A Chimney Or Open Furnace To The Flue - Nordica VIOLA Instructions Pour L'installation, L'utilisation Et L'entretien

13.2. CLEANING OF THE GLASS

Thanks to a specific entry of the secondary air the building of deposit on the glass of the door is slowed down in a
remarkable way. However the building of this deposit cannot be avoided with the use of solid fuels such as wet wood,
and this is not to be considered as a defect of the appliance.
IMPORTANT: The cleaning of the sight glass must be carried out only and exclusively with cold appliance to
avoid the explosion of the same. Do not use cloths, abrasive or chemically aggressive products by cleaning the
hearth glass.
BREAK OF GLASSES: Considering that the glasses are manufactured in glass-ceramic and resistant to heat
shock up to 750 ° C, they are not subject to thermal shocks. Their break can be caused only by mechanic
shocks (bumps or violent closure of the door, etc.). Therefore, their replacement is not included in the
warranty.

13.3. CLEANING OF THE ASH DRAWER

All chimney stoves of La NORDICA have a hearth grate and an ash drawer for the collection of ashes. We suggest
you to empty periodically the ash drawer and to avoid filling it up totally, in order not to overheat the grate.
Furthermore, we recommend letting always 3-4 cm's of ash in the hearth.
ATTENTION: The ashes removed from the hearth have to be stored in a container made of fire-resistant material
equipped with an air-tight cover.
The container has to be placed on a fire-resistant floor, far from flammable materials up to the switching off and
complete cooling.

14. SUMMER STOP

After you have cleaned the hearth, the chimney and the flue, trying to eliminate completely the ash and others
residuals, you must close the doors of the hearth and its registers; in case you disconnect the appliance from the
chimney, close its opening in order to let work other possible appliances connected to the same flue.
The cleaning of the flue should be done at least once a year; in the meanwhile check the state of the gaskets, which if
not perfectly intact, that is to say that they are not more close-fitting with the stove, do not guarantee the good working
of the stove! In that case the gaskets must be replaced.
In presence of dampness in the room where the stove has been placed, we advise you to put absorbent salts into the
hearth.
15. CONNECTING A CHIMNEY OR OPEN FURNACE
TO THE FLUE
The smoke channel is the section of tube that connects the
product to the flue, in the connection these simple but very
important principles must be followed:
•
for no reason must the smoke channel be used with a
diameter lower than that of the neck of the outlet with
which the product is fitted;
•
each metre of horizontal route of the smoke channel
causes a small leak of charge which should be
compensated for by raising the flue;
•
the horizontal section must never be higher than 2 m
(UNI 10683-2005);
•
each bend of the smoke channel considerably reduces
the draught of the flue which must be compensated for
by raising it suitably;
•
the UNI 10683-2005 Regulation –Italy requires that the
bends or variations of direction must in no case be
greater than 2 including the emission into the flue.
Wanting to use the flue of a chimney or open furnace, it will
be necessary to close the hood hermetically below the inlet
point of the smoke channel pos. A Picture 9.
If the flue is too large (e.g. cm 30x40 or 40x50) it is
necessary to duct it with a stainless steel tube of at least 200
mm of diameter, pos. B taking care to close the space
between the tube itself and the flue immediately below the
chimney cap pos. C.
