For the cleaning of enamelled surfaces use soap water or not aggressive and not chemically abrasive
detergents.
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!
12.1.

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.
This operation should be carried out by a chimney sweeper who can simultaneously perform an audit of the
flue (checking of possible deposits). During the cleaning, it is necessary to remove from the appliance the ash
drawer and the smokes pipes. It is possible to clean the space for the collection of smokes from the hearth or
through the smoke exhaust, by using a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Once the cleaning has been completed, the same has to be positioned back in its seat.
12.2.

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 sight glass must be carried out only and exclusively with cold
appliance to avoid the explosion of the same.
Do not use cloths, abrasive or chemically aggressive products by cleaning the hearth glass and the
upper temperate glasses.
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:
Considering that the glasses are manufactured in glass-
ceramic and resistant to heat shock up to 750° C, th ey 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.
12.3.

CLEANING OF THE ASH DRAWER

All the appliances are equipped with a hearth grate and an ash
drawer for the collection of the ashes (Picture 9 pos. A)
It is suggested to empty periodically the ash drawer and to avoid it
fills completely in order not to overheat the grate. Moreover, we
recommend leaving always 3-4 cm of ash in the hearth.
ATTENTION: The ashes removed from the hearth have to be
stored in a container made of fire-resistant material equipped with
an air-tight cover.
The container has to be placed on a fire-resistant floor, far from flammable materials up to the switching off
and complete cooling.
12.4.

MAJOLICAS

LA NORDICA has chosen majolica tiles, which are the result of high-quality artisan work and therefore the
majolica may present crackles, speckles, and shadings. These characteristics certify their precious origin.
Enamel and majolica, due to their different coefficient of dilatation, produce micro-crackles, which show their
authentic feature. For the cleaning of the majolica we suggest you use a soft and dry cloth; if you use a
detergent or liquid, the liquid might soak in and highlight the crackles permanently.
