FULVIA – GAIA
13.2.

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.
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, they 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.
13.3.

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 8 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.
13.4.

VARNISHED PRODUCTS

After some years of product use a change in the varnished details colour is totally normal. This is due to
the considerable temperature range the product is subject to whenever in use and to the varnish ageing of
time passing by.
ATTENTION: before any possible application of the new varnish, do clean and remove all the traces from
the surface which has to be varnished.
13.5.

ENAMELLED PRODUCTS

For the cleaning of enamelled surfaces use soap water or not aggressive and not chemically abrasive
detergents. After the cleaning do NOT let soapy water or any cleanser dry but remove them immediately.
13.6.

CHROMIUM-COMPONENTS

If the components become bluish due to overheating, this can be solved with a suitable product for
cleaning. DO NOT use abrasives or solvents.
13.7.

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 microcrackles, which show their
authentic feature. For the cleaning of the majolica we suggest using a soft and dry cloth; if you use a
detergent or liquid, the latter might soak in and make the crackles more visible.

14. SUMMER STOP

After cleaning the hearth, chimney and hood, totally eliminating the ash and other eventual residues, close
all the doors of the hearth and the relevant registers and disconnect the appliance from the chimney.
We suggest performing the cleaning operation of the flue at least once per year; verifying in the meantime
the actual status of the rope seals which cannot ensure the good operation of the equipment if they are not
in good condition and are not making a good seal! In this case the seals must be replaced.
