TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The fire 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 are used. The appliance works as an intermittent operating appliance.
The fire cooker is made of sheets in galvanized and enamelled steel and of enamelled cast iron (doors ,front side , plate).
The hearth is totally sheathed with cast-iron single sheets iron and it is endowed with a pre-adjusted
Inside there is a height-adjustable thick flat grate
The hearth is equipped with a panoramic door with an inside 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.
Under the oven door there is an extractable wood drawer, with the relevant closing door.
ACCESSORIES
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 Register
With the lower register, the passage of primary air in the lower part of the cooker is regulated through the ash drawer and the grill
in the direction of the fuel. The primary air is necessary for the combustion process. The ash drawer must be emptied regularly, so
that the ash cannot block the primary air intake for combustion. The primary air also keeps the flame alive.
The primary air register must be almost completely closed during wood combustion, as otherwise the wood burns too quickly and
the cooker may overheat.
2A - SECONDARY Air Register
On the upper part of the front side there is the secondary air register. This knob must be opened (so anticlockwise moved),
especially for wood combustion (see Table). The secondary air, passing out the double glass of the fire door, heats itself starting
the double combustion and keeping at the same time the glass clean ( with open register).
B - FLUE GAS Register (Picture
(Conversion from the cooker HOTPLATE USE function to the cooker HEATING - OVEN USE function)
On the central part of the front side, there is the command bar of the smokes register which is an emailed and marked knob.
When the bar is pushed on the left of the cooker, the combustion gases flow over the oven directly into the small trunk of exhaust
(cooker function – PLATE USE); when on the contrary one pulls the lever on the right, the combustion gases flow all around the
oven, so that the internal temperature is increased in an uniform way (cooker – oven cooking and HEATING – OVEN USE).
The register regulation necessary in order to obtain nominal calorific output is the following (see Cap. TECHNICAL DATA):
Hourly wood consumption in kg/h
3,1
C - LIGHTING CONTROL
On the top part of the cooker, between the enamel plate and the front side, there is bar with a chromed knob. This control must
only be used to facilitate the ignition of fuel in the cooker. The control lever must remain completely inserted (pushed inwards on
the cooker).
When the fire is established , the control lever must to be pulled out.
IMPORTANT : during normal cooker operation, pull the lever outwards from the cooker (control open). In This way avoiding
excessive fuel consumption and poor cooker output.
To ignite the flame follow the instructions below (see Cap. IGNITION) :
• Open the FLUE GAS Register (cooker function – PLATE USE) to aid flue gas exhaust. Position the register (any butterfly valve
placed on the flue gas exhaust pipe must also be opened).
• Open the primary air register (placed on the ash tray).
• After having started the fire with small pieces of wood and waited until it is well lit.
