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.

CLEANING OF THE ASH DRAWER

All the appliances are equipped with a shaking hearth grate and an ash drawer for the collection of the
ashes. It is suggested to empty periodically the ash drawer and to avoid it fills completely in order not to
overheat the grate. Moreover, we recommend leaving always 3-4 cm 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.

MAJOLICAS

LA NORDICA has chosen majolica tiles, which are the result of high-quality artisan work and therefore the
majolica may present crackles, speckles, and shadings. These characteristics certify their precious origin.
Enamel and majolica, due to their different coefficient of dilatation, produce micro crackles, which show
their authentic feature.
For the cleaning of the majolica we suggest you to use a soft and dry cloth; if you use a detergent or liquid,
the latter might soak in and make the crackles more visible.

15. SUMMER STOP

After cleaning the hearth, chimney and hood, totally eliminating the ash and other eventual residues, close
all the doors of
the hearth and the related registers and disconnect the equipment from the chimney.
We suggest to perform the cleaning operation of the flue at least once per year; verify in the meantime the
actual status of the gaskets which cannot ensure the good operation of the equipment if they are not
perfectly solid! In this 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.
If you want to keep for long the aesthetic look of the cooker it is important to protect its parts in row cast
iron with neutral Vaseline.

16. 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.
