PLASMA 80:26 – 80v:30
Besides the adjustment of air for combustion, the intensity of the combustion and consequently the thermal
performance of your appliance is influenced by the stack. A good draught of the stack requires a stricter adjustment of
air for combustion, while a poor draught requires a more precise adjustment of air for combustion.
To verify the good combustion, check whether the smoke coming out from the stack is transparent.
If it is white, it means that the appliance is not properly adjusted or the wood is too wet; if instead the smoke is grey or
black, it signals that the combustion is not complete (it is necessary a greater quantity of

OPERATION DURING TRANSITION PERIODS

During transition periods when the external temperatures are higher, if there is a sudden increase of temperature it
can happen that the combustion gases inside the flue cannot be completely sucked up.
The exhaust gases do not come out completely (intense smell of gas). In this case, shake the grating more frequently
and increase the air for the combustion. Then, load a reduced quantity of fuel in order to permit a rapid burning
(growing up of the flames) and the stabilization of the draught.
Then, check that all openings for the cleaning and the connections to the stack are air-tight.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Let the installation of your stove, the connection to chimney and the ventilation check by your chimney sweeper.
For the cleaning of enamelled surfaces use soap water or not aggressive and not chemically abrasive detergents.
IMPORTANT: It is possible to use exclusively spare parts clearly authorized and offered by LA NORDICA. In
case of need please apply to your dealer!
THE APPLIANCE CAN NOT BE MODIFIED!
12.1.

CLEANING OF THE FLUE

A correct lighting, the burning of a proper fuel, the loading of the suggested quantity of fuel, the right adjustments of
the secondary air control, the sufficient draught of the chimney and the presence of air for the combustion, are
essential for the good operation of the appliance.
The appliance should be completely cleaned at least once a year or every time it is needed (in case of bad working
and low yield).The cleaning must be carried out exclusively with cold equipment.
This operation should be carried out by a chimney sweeper who can simultaneously perform an audit of the flue
(checking of possible deposits). During the cleaning, it is necessary to remove from the appliance the ash drawer
and the smokes pipes. It is possible to clean the space for the collection of smokes from the hearth or through the
smoke exhaust, by using a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Once the cleaning has been completed, the same has to be positioned back in its seat.
12.2.

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.
The correct lighting phase, the use of proper quantities and types of fuels, the correct position of the secondary air
regulator, enough draught of the chimney-flue and the presence of combustion air are the essential elements for the
optimal functioning of the appliance and for the cleaning of the 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.
