10. NORMAL OPERATION
After having positioned the registers correctly, insert the indicated hourly wood load avoiding overloads that cause anomalous stresses
and deformations. You should always use the product with the door closed in order to avoid damages due to overheating (forge
effect). The inobservance of this rule makes the warranty expire.
With the registers located on the front of the device, it is possible to adjust the heat emission of the same. They have to be opened
according to the calorific need. The best combustion (with minimum emissions) is reached when, by loading the wood, most part of the air
for combustion flows through the secondary air register.
Never overload the appliance. Too much fuel and too much air for the combustion may cause overheating and then damage the
product.
You should always use the appliance with the door closed in order to avoid damages due to overheating (forge effect).
The adjustment of the registers necessary to reach the rated calorific yield with a depression at the stack of 12 Pascal (=1.2 mm of column
of water) is the following one: see chap. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION. The appliance works as an intermittent operating appliance.
Besides the adjustment of the air for the combustion, the intensity of the combustion and consequently the thermal performance of the
device is influenced by the stack. A good draught of the stack requires a stricter adjustment of air for combustion, while a poor draught
requires a more precise adjustment of air for combustion.
To verify the good combustion, check whether the smoke coming out from the stack is transparent.
If it is white, it means that the device is not properly adjusted or the wood is too wet; if instead the smoke is gray or black, it signals that the
combustion is not complete (it is necessary a greater quantity of secondary air).
10.1. OPERATION DURING TRANSITION PERIODS
During transition periods when the external temperatures are higher, if there is a sudden increase of temperature it can happen that the
combustion gases inside the flue cannot be completely sucked up.
The exhaust gases do not come out completely (intense smell of gas). In this case, shake the grating more frequently and increase the air
for the combustion. Then, load a reduced quantity of fuel in order to permit a rapid burning (growing up of the flames) and the stabilization
of the draught.
Then, check that all openings for the cleaning and the connections to the stack are air-tight.
11. SUMMER TIME
After having performed the cleaning of the hearth, of the stack and of the flue, removing completely the ash and other possible residuals,
close all doors of the hearth and the related registers.
It is suggested to perform the flue cleaning at least once a year; in the meantime, verify the actual state of the door seals, which do not
assure the good operation of the device, if they are not completely integral (i.e. if they do not adhere anymore to the door)! Therefore, it is
necessary to replace them.
In case of humidity of the room where the device is located, place the absorbing salts within the hearth.
To maintain the aesthetic appearance over time, protect the inside parts in cast iron with Vaseline.
12. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Check the external air intake, by cleaning it, at least once a year.
The stack must be regularly swept by the chimney sweeper.
Let your chimney sweeper in charge of your area check the regular installation of the device, the connection to the stack and the aeration.
IMPORTANT: The maintenance must be carried out only and exclusively with cold device .You should only use spare parts approved
and supplied by La NORDICA. Please contact your specialized retailer if you require spare parts. YOU MUST NOT MAKE ANY
CHANGES TO THE DEVICE!!!
12.1. GLASS CLEANING
Thanks to a specific inlet of secondary air, the accumulation of dirty sediments on the glass-door is reduced with efficacy. Nevertheless this
can never be avoided by using solid fuels ( particularly wet wood ) and it has not to be understood as a defect of the appliance.
IMPORTANT: The cleaning of the sight glass must be carried out only and exclusively with cold device to avoid the explosion of
the same. For the cleaning, it is possible to use specific products or a wet newspaper paper ball passed in the ash to rub it. Do not
use cloths, abrasive or chemically aggressive products by cleaning the hearth glass.
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.
BREAK OF GLASSES: Given that the glass-ceramic glasses resist up to a heat shock of 750°C, they are not subject to thermal
shocks. Their break can be caused only by mechanic shocks (bumps or violent closure of the door, etc.). Therefore, their
replacement is not included in the warranty.
12.2. CLEANING OUT THE ASHES
All the devices are equipped with a hearth grating and an ash drawer for the collection of the ashes.
It is suggested to empty periodically the ash drawer and to avoid it fills completely in order not to overheat the grating. Moreover, it is
