Rules For Installation; Fire Safety Measures - Nordica Fortuna Instructions Pour L'installation, L'utilisation Et L'entretien

The heating of the environment is made by irradiation: through the panoramic glass and the external hot surfaces of
the stove, the heat is radiated into the environment.
The stove is equipped with controls of primary and secondary air by which it is adjusted the combustion air.
1A - PRIMARY air register
Below the hearth door, on the front left side, there is the primary air register, in the style of lever (Picture 2 - 1A)
With this air register, it is adjusted the passage of primary air into the low part of the stove and through particular
channels flows in the fuel direction. The primary air is necessary for the combustion process during lighting. The ash
drawer must be regularly emptied, so that the ash does not obstruct the entry of the primary air for the combustion.
In order to open the air flow, the bar must be completely pulled out,
During wood combustion, the register of primary air must be opened only for a while, because otherwise the wood
burns too fast and the stove may overheat. (see paragraph 10).
2A - SECONDARY air register
Below the hearth door, on the right front side there is the secondary air register (Picture 2 - 2A).
The secondary air, passing through the two lateral jambs of the front side, heats itself starting the double combustion
and keeping at the same time the glass clean (with open register).
When the bar is pushed to the back the passage of the secondary is completely open (Picture 2 - 2A).

RULES FOR INSTALLATION

The stove, assembled and ready for the installation, must be connected with a junction to the existing flue of the
house. The junction must be possibly short, straight, horizontal or positioned a little uphill. The connections must be
tight. It is OBLIGATORY to respect the National and European rules, local regulations concerning building
matter and also fireproof rules. Please apply to your chimney sweeper for all information.
You should verify the sufficient air entrance for the combustion in the installation place, with particular attention to
windows and doors with tight closing (seal ropes).
It is not allowed the connection of various appliances to the same chimney. The diameter of the opening for the
connection must correspond at least to the diameter of the smokes pipe. The opening should be equipped with a wall
connection for the reception of the exhaust pipe and a rose window.
Before installation, verify if your floor can support the weight of the stove (for ex. distributing weight plate).
Please do not install the stove in a inclined level in order to avoid tensions during the rotation.
LA NORDICA is not responsible in case of modification of the product and for the use of not original spare
parts. The hearths must not be modified. THE HEARTHS MUST NOT BE MODIFIED.

FIRE SAFETY MEASURES

While installing the appliance, it is necessary to respect the following safety measures:
a) In order to ensure sufficient thermal insulation, respect the minimum safety distance from objects or furnishing
components flammable and sensitive to heat (furniture, wood sheathings, fabrics. etc.) and from materials with
flammable structure (see Picture 3 A1-A2). All the minimum safety distances are shown on the product data
plate and lower values must not be used.
b) In front of the hearth, in its radiation area and its rotation space (+- 45° ) there must not be any fl ammable object
or construction material sensitive to the heat at least within 100 cm; This distance can be reduced to 40 cm if you
will install in front of the element to protect a retro ventilated and heat resistant protection.
c) If the product is installed on a non totally refractory floor, one must foresee a fireproof background. The floors
made of inflammable material, such as moquette, parquet or cork etc., must be replaced by a layer of no-
inflammable material, for instance ceramic, stone, glass or steel etc. (size according to regional filing). The
