TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The chimney stoves of La Nordica are suitable 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, it is possible to use wood logs.
The stove is made of sheets in galvanized steel and of enamelled cast iron. The hearth is internally
sheathed refractory and inside it there is a turning and extractable grate.
The hearth is equipped with a large feeding door .
The heating of the environment is made by.
• Convection: (70%) the air passage through the double mantel of the stove releases heat into the
environment.
The stove is endowed with not adjustable air entrances.

RULES FOR INSTALLATION

The stove, 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.
It is obligatory to respect the National and European rules, local regulations concerning building
matter and also fireproofs rules. Please apply to your chimney sweeper for all information.
You should verify the sufficient air entrance for the combustion in the installation place, with particular
attention to windows and doors with tight closing (seal ropes).
It is not allowed the connection of various appliances to the same chimney. The diameter of the opening for
the connection must correspond at least to the diameter of the smokes pipe. The opening should be
equipped with a wall connection for the reception of the exhaust pipe and a rose window.
Before installation, verify if your floor can support the weight of the stove (for ex. distributing weight plate).
LA NORDICA is not responsible in case of modification of the product and for the use of not
original spare parts.

SICUREZZA ANTINCENDIO

In the installation of the stove the following safety measures are to be followed:
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 (Picture 1 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 chimney stove there must not be any flammable object or building material, sensitive to
heat, at less 100 cm's. of distance. This distance can be reduced to 40 cm's if you will install in front
of the element to protect a retro ventilated and heat resistant protection.
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 (Picture 1 B).
d) no flammable components (e.g. wall units) must be present above the product.
The chimney stove must operate exclusively with the ash drawer inserted. The solid residue of the
combustion (ashes) must be collected in a hermetic container, resistant to fire. The stove must never be
ignited when there are gas or steam emissions (e.g. glue for linoleum, gasoline, etc.). Never deposit
flammable materials near the stove.
During the combustion will be spread thermal energy which warms up the surfaces, the door, the handles
and knobs, the smoke pipe and the front side of the stove. Please avoid the contact of these parts without
gloves or the relevant tools.
Warn children of the danger and keep them away during the operation of the stove.
The use of a wrong or wet fuel causes the formation of creosote deposits in the flue and will fuel a chimney
fire.
