and doors with tight closing (seal ropes).
• Do not install the appliance in rooms containing collective ventilation ducts, hoods with or without extractor, type B gas appliances,
heat pumps, or other appliances that, operating at the same time, can put the room in depression (ref. UNI 10683 standard).
• Make sure that the flue and the pipes to which the appliance will be connected are suitable for its operation. It is not allowed the
connection of various appliances to the same chimney.
• The diameter of the opening for connection to the chimney must at least correspond to the diameter of the flue gas pipe. The
opening must be equipped with a wall connection for the insertion of the exhaust pipe and a rosette.
• The unused flue gas exhaust stub pipe must be covered with its respective cap (see chapter DIMENSIONS).
• The installation must be appropriate and has to allow the cleaning and maintenance of the product and the flue.
La NORDICA S.p.A. declines all responsibility for damage to things and/or persons caused by the system. In addition, it is not
responsible for any product modified without authorisation and even less for the use of non original spare parts.
Your regular local chimney sweep must be informed about the installation of the appliance so that he can check the correct connection to
the chimney.

4. FIRE SAFETY

When installing the product, the following safety measures must be observed:
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 (see
Picture 4 at page 41
be used.
b) In front of the furnace door, in the radiation area there must be no flammable or heat-sensitive objects or material at a distance of
less than 100 cm. This distance can be reduced to 40 cm where a rear-ventilated, heat-resistant protection device is installed in
front of the whole component to protect.
c) If the product is installed on a non totally refractory floor, one must foresee a fireproof background. The floors made of inflammable
material, such as moquette, parquet or cork etc., must be replaced by a layer of no-inflammable material, for instance ceramic,
stone, glass or steel etc. (size according to regional law). In case the replacement of the floor is not possible, the appliance
shall be placed on a minimum 12 cm thick slab made of stone or concrete. The base must extend at least 50 cm at the front
and at least 30 cm at the sides, in addition to the opening of the loading door (see
d) No flammable components (e.g. wall units) must be present above the product.
The Product must always operate exclusively with the ash drawer inserted. The solid combustion residues (ash) must be collected in a
sealed, fire resistant container. The Product must never be on in the presence of gaseous emissions or vapours (for example glue for
linoleum, petrol etc.). Never deposit flammable materials near the Product.
During combustion, thermal energy is released which leads to considerable heating of the surfaces, doors, handles, controls, glass parts,
the flue gas pipe and possibly the front part of the appliance. Avoid contact with these elements unless using suitable protective
clothing or accessories (heat resistant gloves, control devices).
Ensure children are aware of these dangers and keep them away from the furnace when it is on.
When using the wrong fuel or one which is too damp, due to deposits present in the flue, a flue fire is possible.
4.1.

IN A EMERGENCY

If there is a fire in the flue connection :
a) Close the loading door and the ash drawer door
b) Close the comburent air registers
c) Use carbon dioxide ( CO
d) Request the immediate intervention of the Fire Brigade
DO NOT PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH WATER.
When the flue stops burning, have it checked by a specialist to identify any cracks or permeable points.

5. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The cookers of La Nordica are suitable to cook on the grill and on the oven and 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, wood logs is used. The appliance works as an intermittent operating appliance.
The cooker is made of galvanized and enamelled steel sheets and enamelled cast iron (doors, front side, plate ).The hearth is totally
sheathed with single cast iron sheets and it is endowed with a pre-adjusted tertiary air for a better combustion. Inside there is a height-
adjustable thick flat grate. The hearth is equipped with a panoramic door with ceramic glass (resistant up to 700 °C) and outside tempered.
This allows a wonderful view on the burning flames. Furthermore, it is thus avoided the output of sparks and smoke.
Below the oven door there is an extractable wood drawer, with the related closing door.
The heating of the environment is made by:
• irradiation: through the panoramic glass and the external hot surfaces of the stove, the heat is radiated into the environment.
The cooker is equipped with controls of primary and secondary air by which it is adjusted the combustion air.
1A – PRIMARY AIR CONTROL
With the inferior air control, which is on the fire door, it is adjusted the passage of primary air into the low part of the cooker, through
the drawer of ash 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. In order to open the air flow, the bar must be completely pulled out (when the bar is completely pushed to the back, the control is
