1. Raise the moveable furnace grill to the highest level in order to reduce the exchange surface exposed to the heat of the flame.
2. Close the primary and secondary air registers in addition to turning the thermostat to 0 (
C
)
.
3. Open the oven door in order to favour the elimination of the internal heat.
4. Open the flue gas register by pushing the knob placed on the right hand side of the frame; in this way, it will deviate the residual heat
still produced towards the chimney.
9.4. OPERATION IN TRANSITION PERIODS
WARNING
: For no reason turn on the fire before the system has been completely filled with water; doing this would lead serious damage
to the entire structure. The system should be kept constantly full of water even in periods in which the use of the wood burning stove/
cooker is not required. During winter any non activity should involve the addition of anti- freeze.
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.
9.5. NORMAL COOKER USE.
WARNING
: For no reason turn on the fire before the system has been completely filled with water; doing this would lead serious damage
to the entire structure.
To use the wood burning stove/cooker exclusively for cooking foods for example during the summer period it is necessary to lift the
movable grill to the maximum height to bypass as much as possible the surfaces of exchange able to yield heat to the water; the smoke
register shall be kept open to encourage the exit of hot smoke having heated the cast iron plate.
In order to prevent water boiling in the boiler, when the thermoheating stove is in function, the circulation pump must be in function in order
to dispose of the heat given to the boiler water on the radiators.
10. SUMMER TIME
ATTENTION
: The installation must always be full of water even when the thermo-fireplace is not used. A possible no use during winter
season must be faced by adding antifreeze substances.
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.
Check the water level in the expansion tank and remove any air from the system by bleeding the radiators; also check to make sure that
the plumbing and electrical accessories (control unit, circulator) are working properly.
11. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Have a chimneysweep check the correct installation, connection to the chimney and aeration of the device.
When cleaning enamelled parts, use soapy water or detergents which are not abrasive or chemically aggressive.
Should the chrome-plated components become bluish due to overheating, this can be resolved with a suitable cleaning product.
IMPORTANT
: only spare parts which have been expressly authorised and offered by La NORDICA can be used. If parts are required,
please contact your specialised dealer.
THE APPLIANCE CANNOT BE MODIFIED!
11.1. FLUE CLEANING
The correct ignition procedure, the use of suitable quantities and types of fuel, the correct positioning of the secondary air register, sufficient
chimney draught and the presence of comburent air are essential for optimum appliance operation. At least once a year, or whenever it
becomes necessary (malfunctioning problems with insufficient output) it is advisable to carry out complete cleaning. This operation, done
exclusively with cold stove/cooker, should be done by a chimney sweep who can also inspect the appliance.
The flue gas collection tank can be cleaned from the oven (after having removed the two screws which secure the extractable oven plate
For this purpose, remove the cooking plate rings and disassemble the flue gas pipe from the exhaust stub pipe. Cleaning can be carried
out with the aid of a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Take care that, after cleaning, all the disassembled parts are reinstalled in a hermetic way.
