Admitted/Not Admitted Fuel; Lighting - Nordica FULVIA Instructions Pour L'installation, L'utilisation Et L'entretien

The natural recirculation of air must be ensured by some fixed openings on the outside. The size of the
necessary openings for air is fixed by the relevant prescriptions. Ask information to your chimney sweeper.
The openings should be protected with grids and should never be obstructed.
An extraction hood (aspirating) installed in the same room or in a room nearby, in case of insufficient flow
of fresh air may negatively affect the functions of your appliance with the output of combusted gasses
(smoke, smell even if with the door closed). As consequence the extraction hoods must not absolutely work
at the same time with the stove.
The depression in an extraction hood can at worst hypothesis, transforms the flue into an external
air intake, by sucking the smokes of the rooms with dangerous consequences for the people.

ADMITTED/NOT ADMITTED FUEL

The fuel admitted is made of wood logs. One must use only logs of dry wood (water content max. 20 %).
The wood pieces should have a length of 30 cm's and a maximum circumference of 30 cm's.
The wood used as fuel must have a moisture contents lower than 20%, which is obtained after at least 1
year drying (tender wood) or 2 years (hard wood) and must be stored in a dry and ventilated place (for ex.
under a shed). The wet wood makes ignition more difficult because it is necessary a greater quantity of
energy to evaporate the existing water. The humid contents has the disadvantage that, with the
temperature lowering, the water condensates first in the hearth and then in the chimney. The unseasoned
wood contains about 60 % of H
Among the others, the following cannot be burnt: remainders of coal, cut-outs, scraps of bark and
panels, humid wood or treated with varnishes, plastic materials; in this case the warranty on the
equipment expires. Paper and carton must be used only for ignition.
The combustion of wastes is forbidden and may damage the stove and the chimney, causing health
damages and claims by the neighbourhood owing to the bad smell.
The wood is not a fuel, which allows a continuous operation of the appliance, as consequence the heating
all over the night is not possible.

ATTENTION : the continuous and protracted use of aromatic wood (eucalyptus, myrtle etc.) quickly
damages the cast iron parts (cleavage) of the product.

LIGHTING

IMPORTANT: The first time that the appliance is lit, there will be an odour given off (due to the drying of
the adhesives of the junction chord), which disappears after a short use. It must be ensured, in any
case, a good ventilation of the environment. Upon the first ignition we suggest loading a reduced
quantity of fuel and slightly increasing the calorific value of the equipment.
To perform a correct first lighting of the products treated with paints for high temperature, it is necessary to
know the following information:
•
the construction materials of the involved products are not homogeneous, as matter of fact there
are simultaneously parts in cast iron, refractory, majolica and steel;
