Fire Safety; In A Emergency - LA NORDICA AMERICA Manuel Utilisateur

• Make sure that the flue and the pipes to which the appliance will be connected are suitable for its operation. It is NOT allowed the
connection of various appliances to the same chimney.
• The diameter of the opening for connection to the chimney must at least correspond to the diameter of the flue gas pipe. The opening
must be equipped with a wall connection for the insertion of the exhaust pipe and a rosette.
• The unused flue gas exhaust stub pipe must be covered with its respective cap (see chapter DIMENSIONS).
• The installation must be appropriate and has to allow the cleaning and maintenance of the product and the flue.
La NORDICA S.p.A. declines all responsibility for damage to things and/or persons caused by the system. In addition, it is
not responsible for any product modified without authorisation and even less for the use of non original spare parts.
Your regular local chimney sweep must be informed about the installation of the appliance so that he can check the correct connection to
the chimney.

FIRE SAFETY

When installing the product, the following safety measures must be observed:
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 4
the minimum safety distances are shown on the product data plate and lower values must not be used (see DECLARATION OF
PERFORMANCE ).
b) In front of the furnace door, in the radiation area there must be no flammable or heat-sensitive objects or material at a distance of less
than Picture 4
- A. This distance can be reduced to 40 cm where a rear-ventilated, heat-resistant protection device is installed in front of
the whole component to protect.
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 covered by a layer of no-inflammable material, for instance ceramic, stone,
glass or steel etc. (size according to regional law). The base must extend at least 50 cm at the front and at least 30 cm at the sides, in
addition to the opening of the loading door (see Picture
d) No flammable components (e.g. wall units) must be present above the product.
The Product must always operate exclusively with the ash drawer inserted. The solid combustion residues (ash) must be collected in a sealed,
fire resistant container. The Product must never be on in the presence of gaseous emissions or vapours (for example glue for linoleum, petrol
etc.). Never deposit flammable materials near the Product.
During combustion, thermal energy is released which leads to considerable heating of the surfaces, doors, handles, controls, glass
parts, the flue gas pipe and possibly the front part of the appliance. Avoid contact with these elements unless using suitable
protective clothing or accessories (heat resistant gloves, control devices).
Ensure children are aware of these dangers and keep them away from the furnace when it is on.
When using the wrong fuel or one which is too damp, due to deposits present in the flue, a flue fire is possible.

IN A EMERGENCY

If there is a fire in the flue connection :
a) Close the loading door and the ash drawer door
b) Close the comburent air registers
c) Use carbon dioxide ( CO
2
d) Request the immediate intervention of the Fire Brigade
DO NOT PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH WATER.
When the flue stops burning, have it checked by a specialist to identify any cracks or permeable points.
