14.1.

FLUE CLEANING

The correct ignition procedure, the use of suitable quantities and types of fuel, the correct positioning of the secondary
air register, sufficient chimney draught and the presence of comburent air are essential for optimum appliance
operation. At least once a year, or whenever it becomes necessary (malfunctioning problems with insufficient output)
it is advisable to carry out complete cleaning. This operation, carried out
exclusively when the cooker is cold, should be carried out by a
chimneysweep who can carry out an inspection at the same time.
During cleaning, it is necessary to remove the flue gas exhaust stub pipe and
the flue gas pipe.
The flue gas collection tank can be cleaned from the oven (after having
removed the two screws which secure the extractable oven plate Picture 10),
or from above.
For this purpose, remove the cooking plate rings and disassemble the flue
gas pipe from the exhaust stub pipe. Cleaning can be carried out with the aid
of a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Take care that, after cleaning, all the disassembled parts are reinstalled in a
hermetic way.
14.2.

GLASS CLEANING

Through a specific secondary air inlet, the formation of deposits of dirt, on the door glass, is effectively slowed down.
It cannot, though, ever be avoided with the use of solid fuels (e.g. damp wood) and this should not be considered a
defect of the appliance.
IMPORTANT: the cleaning of the panoramic glass must only be carried out when the thermocooker is cold, in
order to prevent it exploding. Do not use cloths or products which are abrasive or chemically aggressive.
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.
GLASS BREAKAGE: as the glass parts are in ceramic glass, resistant up to a sudden thermal change of
750° C, they are not subject to thermal shocks. Thei r breakage can only be caused by mechanical shocks
(knocks or violent door closing etc.). Therefore replacement is not covered by the warranty.
14.3.

ASH DRAWER CLEANING

All LA NORDICA thermocookers have a furnace grill and a drawer for ash
collection. It is advisable to empty the ash drawer periodically and prevent it
filling up completely, so as not to overheat the grill. In addition, it is
advisable to always leave 3-4 cm of ash in the furnace.
CAUTION: the ash removed from the furnace must be replaced in a
recipient for fireproof material equipped with an airtight cover. The
recipient must be placed on fireproof flooring, away from flammable
materials until the ash is completely out and cool.
IMPORTANT: if for whatever reason the grill is removed from the furnace,
take care to reassemble it with the wider part of the slit facing
downwards. This is to aid furnace cleaning (Picture 11).
14.4.

MAINTENANCE ON THE WATER SYSTEM

With the system switched off, once a year carry out the following checks:
•
Check the operation and efficiency of the blowdown and safety valves. If they are defective, contact your
authorised installer. IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO REMOVE OR TAMPER WITH THE SAFETY
DEVICES.
•
Check the thermal insulation of the filling pipe and the safety pipe.
•
Make sure that the system is filled and under pressure, checking the water level in the expansion tank; also
check that it is working properly and check the efficiency of the safety pipe.
