Grill Cooking; Operation In Transition Periods; Maintenance And Care; Cleaning Of The Flue - Nordica AMERICA Instructions Pour L'installation, L'utilisation Et L'entretien

12. GRILL COOKING

With the cooker AMERICA it is possible to cook food on a grill. When the embers are established, please
leave the door of hearth open, adjust the sheet cover (outside hood Picture 8 pos.A) as indicated in the
picture and put the cooking grate (grigliandola pos.B) inside the hearth.
The registers must be placed in the following way:
primary and secondary air register (Picture 1 A, B) closed, i.e. turned in clockwise
-
- smokes register (Picture 1 C) turned in anticlockwise
lighting register (Picture 1 D) totally in (pushed towards the cooker rear)
-

13. OPERATION IN 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.

14. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Let the installation of your stove, the connection to chimney and the ventilation check by your chimney
sweeper.
For the cleaning of enamelled surfaces use soap water or not aggressive and not chemically abrasive
detergents. If the components become bluish due to overheating, this can be solved with a suitable product
for cleaning.
IMPORTANT: It is possible to use exclusively spare parts clearly authorized and offered by LA
NORDICA. In case of need please apply to your dealer!
THE APPLIANCE CAN NOT BE MODIFIED!
14.1.

CLEANING OF THE FLUE

A correct lighting, the burning of a proper fuel, the loading of the suggested quantity of fuel, the right
adjustments of the secondary air control, the sufficient draught of the chimney and the presence of air for
the combustion, are essential for the good operation of the appliance.
The appliance should be completely cleaned at least once a year or every time it is needed (in case of bad
working and low yield). The cleaning must be carried out exclusively with cold equipment and carried
out by a chimney sweeper who can simultaneously perform an audit.
During cleaning, remove from the cooker the smokes exhaust small trunk and the smokes pipe.
The smokes collection casing can be cleaned either through the door which is under the oven (after
removing the two screws which fix it to the front side of the cooker) or from the top.
To this purpose remove the circles of the cooking plate and disassemble the smokes pipe from the exhaust
small trunk. Cleaning can be made with a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Pay attention that, after cleaning, all dismounted parts are reinstalled hermetically.
14.2.

CLEANING OF THE GLASS

Thanks to a specific entry of the secondary air the building of deposit on the glass of the door is slowed
down in a remarkable way. However the building of this deposit cannot be avoided with the use of solid
fuels such as wet wood, and this is not to be considered as a defect of the appliance.
IMPORTANT: the cleaning of the panoramic glass must be performed only while the cooker is cold, to
avoid the explosion of the same. 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.
