FOCOLARI IN GHISA
During the combustion, thermal air is emitted by involving the heating of areas, door and glass hearth, of the door handles or controls,
of the smokes pipe and, in case, of the front part of appliance. Avoid to touch those parts without a protective clothing or without
accessory tools (gloves resistant to heat, control devices).
Ensure children are aware of these dangers and keep them away from the furnace when it is on.
Warn children that the device becomes very hot and that it must not be touched.
When using the wrong fuel or one which is too damp, due to deposits present in the flue, a flue fire is possible.
3.1.

FIRST-AID MEASURES

Should any fire arise in the stack or in the flue:
a) Close the feeding door.
b) Close the registers of combustion air
c) Extinguish the fire using carbon dioxide fire-fighting means (CO
d) Seek immediate intervention of FIRE BRIGADE.
DO NOT EXTINGUISH FIRE USING WATER JETS. When the flue does not burn any more please arrange an examination by a specialist
in order to find possible cracks and permeable points.
3.2.

BEAM PROTECTIONS

Considering the irradiation of the hearth, it is necessary to be particularly careful in protecting the beams while designing your stack.
Consider the proximity of beams to the external surfaces of the hearth, on one side, and the irradiation of the glass door, usually very close
to the beams, on the other side. In any case, it has to be considered that the internal or lower surfaces of this beam in flammable material
must not come in contact with temperatures higher than 65 °C.
WARNING: We cannot be made liable for a wrong operation of the plant, when it does not comply with the provisions of these
instructions or when it uses additional products not suitable for this device.

4. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

Definition: product according to EN 13240 The appliance works as an intermittent operating appliance.
The devices La Nordica are suitable to heat living spaces for some periods. As fuel, wood logs are used. .
The appliance is made up of a series of cast-iron elements joined to one another by a fixed joint, while the seal is assured by refractory
putty. The assembly is supported by tie rods and nuts located outside the heating body.
The devices are equipped with an integrated air circuit for the recovery of the heat made up of deflectors (radiant fins) on all external
surfaces of the heating body.
The devices are equipped with a hearth with double thickness rear part made up of a drilled extractible plate.
Through these holes, pre-heated air gets into the hearth; in this way, it is possible to achieve a post-combustion with an increase of the
yield and a reduction of emissions of unburnt gases.
The fireplace is equipped with a sight door with ceramic glass (resistant up to 700°C). This allows a charming sight on burning flames.
Moreover, in this way, any possible leak of sparks and smoke is avoided.
Room heating takes place:
a) By irradiation: through the panoramic glass and the external hot surfaces of the stove, the heat is radiated into the environment;
b) By natural convection: the passage of air through the coating and the covering hood releases heat in the room.
The device is equipped with registers of primary and secondary air.

direction. The primary air is necessary for the combustion process. The ash drawer must be regularly emptied, so that the ash does not
obstruct the primary air entry. Through the primary air the fire is also kept alive.
During wood combustion, the register of primary air must be opened only for a while, because otherwise the wood burns fast and the
stove may overheat. For the correct arrangement (see chapter NORMAL OPERATION).
2A - SECONDARY air register
Over the door of the hearth there is the secondary air control
be moved to the right), especially for wood combustion, so that un-burnt carbon does not undergo a post-combustion. See chapter
NORMAL OPERATION. Through this register it is possible to adjust the power of the device.
Leaving it slightly open, according to the flue of the device, it is possible to keep the glass clean.
The adjustment of the registers necessary to reach the rated calorific yield is the following one:
