In A Emergency; Description; Secondary Air - Nordica FORTUNA Instructions Pour L'installation, L'utilisation Et L'entretien

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. DESCRIPTION

The chimney stoves of La Nordica are suitable to heat living spaces for some periods. As fuel, wood logs are used. The stove is made of
sheets in galvanized and painted steel, of cast iron (grate and grate holder of the hearth, exhaust pipe) of majolica tiles and of glass panels.
The hearth is totally sheathed with cast-iron single sheets and refractory material (IRONKER). Inside there are a easy extractable thick flat
grate and its holder. The combustion chamber is hermetic welded and is sheathed with a painted steel carter.
The inside smoke plate made of vermiculite, reflects the fire radiation and increases the internal temperature of the combustion chamber.
This process together with the exhaust gases flows, makes optimal the combustion and improves the efficiency.
Singular feature of the model FORTUNA and Fortuna PANORAMA is the pivoting body, i.e. the possibility of rotating the stove
of +- 45° (with regard to its base axis) also when is lighted. It is also possible to block the appliance at the wished position by a knob.
(Picture 6 at page 41)
The one-piece ceramic glass of the door (resistant up to 700°C) allows a wonderful view on the burning flames. Furthermore, it is thus
avoided the output of sparks and smoke.
Below the hearth grate there is an extractable ash drawer,
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 stove is equipped with controls of primary and secondary air by which it is adjusted the combustion air.
1A - PRIMARY air register
With the air register located under the door of the hearth (on the left), it is possible to adjust the air flow through the ash drawer and
the grating in direction of the fuel. The primary air is necessary for the combustion process during the ignition. In order to open the
passage of primary air the lever should be completely pulled. The ash drawer has to be emptied regularly, so that ash cannot hinder
the intake of primary air for the combustion. Primary air is also necessary to keep fire live.
During the combustion of wood, the primary air register must be opened only a few, since otherwise the wood burns quickly and the
device can overheat (see chapter NORMAL OPERATION).
2A - SECONDARY air register
Under the door of the hearth (on the right) there is a secondary air register.
This valve must be opened (and therefore completely pushed), in detail, for the combustion of wood, so that unburnt carbon can be
subject to a post-combustion, increasing the yield and assuring the cleaning of the glass (see chapter NORMAL OPERATION).
It is possible to get the air SECONDARY directly from outside through a flexible tube ( fireproof NOT furnished
A).
The adjustment of the registers necessary to reach the rated calorific yield is the following one:
