NORMAL OPERATION

For safety reasons the door of the appliances with constructive system 1, must be opened only for the loading of the
fuel or for removing the ashes, while during the operation and
The appliances with constructive system 2 must be connected to their own flue. The operating with open door is
allowed under supervision.
IMPORTANT: For safety reasons the door of the hearth can be opened only for the loading of the fuel. The
hearth door must always remain closed during operation or rest.
The nominal power of the appliance is of kW 6. This power will be reached with a minimum depression in the chimney
of 12 Pascal (= 1,2 mm of water column).
With the registers located on the front of the appliance (Picture 1), 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 (see the hourly wood load in the table here below). Too much fuel and too much
air for the combustion may cause overheating and then damage the stove.
You should always use the chimney stove with the door closed in order to avoid damages due to overheating (forge
effect). The inobservance of this rule makes the warranty expire.

This chimney stove is an appliance with intermittent operation.
Besides the adjustment of air for combustion, the intensity of the combustion and consequently the thermal
performance of your appliance 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 appliance is not properly adjusted or the wood is too wet; if instead the smoke is grey or
black, it signals that the combustion is not complete (it is necessary a greater quantity of

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.

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.
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.
