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 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.

4. 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
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 replaced by a layer of no-inflammable material, for instance ceramic, stone,
glass or steel etc. (size according to regional law). In case the replacement of the floor is not possible, the appliance shall be
placed on a minimum 12 cm thick slab made of stone or concrete. 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.
4.1.

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.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The fire cookers of La NORDICA are suitable to cook on the grill and on the oven and to heat living spaces for some periods or to support
an insufficient centralized heating system. They are ideal for holiday apartments and weekend houses or as an auxiliary heating system
during the whole year. As fuel, wood logs are used. The appliance works as an intermittent operating appliance.
The fire cooker is made of sheets in galvanized and enamelled steel and of enamelled cast iron (doors ,front side , plate).
The hearth is totally sheathed with cast-iron single sheets iron and it is endowed with a pre-adjusted
Inside there is a height-adjustable thick flat grate
The hearth is equipped with a panoramic door with an inside ceramic glass (resistant up to 700 °C) and outside tempered. This allows a
wonderful view on the burning flames. Furthermore, it is thus avoided the output of sparks and smoke.
Under the oven door there is an extractable wood drawer, with the relevant closing door.
The heating of the environment is made by irradiation:
• through the panoramic glass and the external hot surfaces of the stove, the heat is radiated into the environment
The cooker is equipped with controls of primary and secondary air by which it is adjusted the combustion air.
