TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The chimney stoves of La Nordica are suitable to heat living spaces for some periods or to support an insufficient
centralized heating system. They are ideal for holiday apartments and weekend houses or as an auxiliary heating
system during the whole year. As fuel, it is possible to use wood logs.
The chimney stove is made of metal sheets in galvanized steel, enamelled cast iron and, depending on the versions,
thermo radiant ceramics or soapstone plates. The hearth is totally sheathed with single cast-iron sheets. Its back is
extractable. Thanks to calibrated holes, made on the same back, it is guaranteed a supply of pre-heated air inside the
hearth, thus obtaining a post-combustion which increases the efficiency and reduces the emission of the unburnt
gases. Inside it there is a turning and extractable grate.
The hearth is equipped with a panoramic door with ceramic glass (resistant up to 700 ° C). This allows a wonderful
view of the burning flames. Furthermore, it is thus avoided the output of sparks and smoke.
The heating of the environment is made:
a) by convection (about 70%): the passage of air through the double sheath
of the stove releases heat in the environment.
b) by radiation (about 30%): through the panoramic glass and the external
hot surfaces of the stove, the heat is radiated into the environment.
The chimney stove is equipped with registers of primary and secondary air by
which it is adjusted the combustion air.
PRIMARY air register (A Picture 1)
With the air register placed under the door of the hearth, it is adjusted the
passage of air through the ash drawer and the grate in the fuel direction. The
primary air is necessary for the combustion process. The ash drawer must be
regularly emptied, so that the ash does not obstruct the primary air entry for
the combustion. Through the primary air the fire is also kept alive.
During wood combustion, the register of primary air must be opened only for
a while, because otherwise the wood burns fast and the stove may overheat.
SECONDARY air register (B Picture 1)
Over the hearth door there is the secondary air register. Also this valve must
be opened (then moved to the right), especially for wood combustion, so that
unburnt carbon undergoes a post-combustion . See paragraph 10.

RULES FOR INSTALLATION

The stove, assembled and ready for the installation, must be connected with
a junction to the existing flue of the house. The junction must be possibly
short, straight, horizontal or positioned a little uphill. The connections must be
tight.
It is OBLIGATORY to respect the National and European rules, local
regulations concerning building matter and also fireproofs rules. Please
apply to your chimney sweeper for all information.
You should verify the sufficient air entrance for the combustion in the installation place, with particular attention to
windows and doors with tight closing (seal ropes).
It is not allowed the connection of various appliances to the same chimney. The diameter of the opening for the
connection must correspond at least to the diameter of the smokes pipe. The opening should be equipped with a wall
connection for the reception of the exhaust pipe and a rose window.
Before installation, verify if your floor can support the weight of the stove (for ex. distributing weight plate).
LA NORDICA is not responsible in case of modification of the product and for the use of not original spare
parts.
THE HEARTHS MUST NOT BE MODIFIED.

FIRE SAFETY

In the installation of the stove the following safety measures are to be followed:
a) In order to ensure sufficient thermal insulation, respect the minimum safety distance from objects or furnishing
components flammable and sensitive to heat (furniture, wood sheathings, fabrics. etc.) and from materials with
flammable structure (Picture 2 A). All the minimum safety distances are shown on the product data plate
and lower values must not be used.
b) in front of the chimney stove there must not be any flammable object or building material, sensitive to heat, at less
100 cm's. of distance. This distance can be reduced to 40 cm's if you will install in front of the element to protect
a retro ventilated and heat resistant protection.
