the combustion gases inside the flue cannot be completely sucked up.
The exhaust gases do not come out completely (intense smell of gas). In this case, shake the grating more frequently and increase
the air for the combustion. Then, load a reduced quantity of fuel in order to permit a rapid burning (growing up of the flames) and the
stabilization of the draught. Then, check that all openings for the cleaning and the connections to the stack are air-tigh. In case of
doubt, DO NOT operate the product.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Check the external air intake, by cleaning it, at least once a year. The stack must be regularly swept by the chimney sweeper.
Let your chimney sweeper in charge of your area check the regular installation of the device, the connection to the stack and the
aeration.
IMPORTANT: THE MAINTENANCE MUST BE CARRIED OUT ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY WITH COLD DEVICE. You
should only use spare parts approved and supplied by La NORDICA. Please contact your specialized retailer if you require
spare parts. YOU MUST NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE DEVICE!!!

GLASS CLEANING

Thanks to a specific inlet of secondary air, the accumulation of dirty sediments on the glass-door is reduced with efficacy. Nevertheless
this can never be avoided by using solid fuels ( particularly wet wood ) and it has not to be understood as a defect of the appliance.
IMPORTANT: The cleaning of the sight glass must be carried out only and exclusively with cold device to avoid the
explosion of the same. For the cleaning, it is possible to use specific products or a wet newspaper paper ball passed in
the ash to rub it. 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: Given that the glass-ceramic glasses resist up to a heat shock of 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.

CLEANING OUT THE ASHES

All the devices are equipped with a hearth grating and an ash drawer for the collection of the ashes
It is suggested to empty periodically the ash drawer and to avoid it fills completely in order not to overheat the grating. Moreover, it is
suggested to leave always 3-4 cm of ash in the hearth.
CAUTION: 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.

CLEANING THE FLUE

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.
The device should be completely cleaned at least once a year or every time it is needed (in case of bad working and low yield). An
excessive deposit of soot can cause problems in the discharge of smokes and fire in the flue.
The cleaning must be carried out exclusively with cold equipment. This operation should be carried out by a chimney
sweeper who can simultaneously perform an audit of the flue (checking of possible deposits).

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; in case you disconnect the appliance from the chimney you must close its openings in order to let work
others possible appliances connected to the same flue.
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.
In presence of dampness in the room where the stove has been placed, we advise you to put absorbent salts into the hearth.
If you want to keep for long the aesthetic look of the cooker it is important to protect its internal walls in row cast iron with
neutral Vaseline.

MAJOLICAS (If present)

La NORDICA has chosen majolica tiles, which are the result of high-quality artisan work. As they are completely carried out by hand,
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 you to use a soft and dry cloth; if you use a detergent or liquid, the latter
might soak in and highlight the crackles permanently.
