Fire Safety; In A Emergency - Nordica CANDY Manuel Utilisateur

Installation must be carried out by authorised personnel who must provide the buyer with a system declaration of conformity and will
assume full responsibility for final installation and as a consequence the correct functioning of the installed product.
The Product, 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.
Before installing the appliance, carry out the following checks:
• UPPER smoke output - REAR - LATERAL
• verify if your structure can support the weight of the appliance. In case of insufficient carrying capacity it is necessary to
adopt appropriate measures, La NORDICA responsibility is limited to the supply of the appliance (See chapter TECHNICAL
DESCRIPTION).
• Make sure that the floor can support the weight of the appliance (for ex. distributing weight plate), and if it is made of flammable
material, provide suitable insulation (DIMENSIONS ACCORDING TO REGIONAL REGULATIONS).
• Make sure that there is adequate ventilation in the room where the appliance is to be installed, with particular attention to
windows and doors with tight closing (seal ropes).
• Do not install the appliance in rooms containing collective ventilation ducts, hoods with or without extractor, type B gas
appliances, heat pumps, or other appliances that, operating at the same time, can put the room in depression (ref. UNI 10683
standard).
• 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 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 - A). All the minimum safety distances are shown on the product data plate and lower values must not be
used.
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 100 cm. 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
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
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.
