Summer Use; Maintenance And Care; Glass Cleaning; Cleaning Out The Ashes - LA NORDICA TERMOCUCINOTTA DSA Instructions Pour L'installation, L'utilisation Et L'entretien

11.4. SUMMER USE

The system must be completely filled with water. The absence of water in the system would lead to serious damage of the entire
structure.
ATTENTION: For no reason must the fire be ignited before the system has been completely filled with water; doing this would lead to
serious damage of the entire structure.In order to prevent water boiling, the circulation pump must be always in function in order to drain
on the radiators, or on the puffer, or on any other thermal absorption structure the heat given from the boiler to the water. If the pump
does not circulate or for any reason the water temperature exceeds 95°C, acts the DSA valve discharging heat in the throughway water.
It is recommended to supervise the water temperature in the appliance during summer use to avoid recurrent interventions of the DSA
valve which may jeopardize its good operation.
To use the wood burning appliance exclusively for cooking foods for example during the summer period it is necessary to lift the movable
grill (If present) to the maximum height to bypass as much as possible the surfaces of exchange able to yield heat to the water; the
smoke register shall be kept open (If present) to encourage the exit of hot smoke having heated the cast iron plate (cooking function –
HOTPLATE USE).

12. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Check the external air intake, by cleaning it, at least once a year. The stack must be regularly swept by the chimney sweeper.
Let your chimney sweeper in charge of your area check the regular installation of the device, the connection to the stack and the aeration.
IMPORTANT: The maintenance must be carried out only and exclusively with cold device . You should only use spare parts approved
and supplied by La NORDICA. Please contact your specialized retailer if you require spare parts. YOU MUST NOT MAKE ANY
CHANGES TO THE DEVICE!!!

12.1. GLASS CLEANING

Thanks to a specific inlet of secondary air, the accumulation of dirty sediments on the glass-door is reduced with efficacy. Nevertheless this
can never be avoided by using solid fuels ( particularly wet wood ) and it has not to be understood as a defect of the appliance.
IMPORTANT: The cleaning of the sight glass must be carried out only and exclusively with cold device to avoid the explosion of
the same. For the cleaning, it is possible to use specific products or a wet newspaper paper ball passed in the ash to rub it. 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: Given that the glass-ceramic glasses resist up to a heat shock of 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.

12.2. CLEANING OUT THE ASHES

All the devices are equipped with a hearth grating 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 grating. Moreover, it is
suggested to leave always 3-4 cm of ash in the hearth.
CAUTION: 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.

12.3. CLEANING THE FLUE

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.
