15. 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!!!
15.1. MAJOLICAS
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
make the crackles more visible.
15.2. PRODUCTS MADE OF NATURAL STONE
Natural stone has to be cleaned with very thin abrasive paper or with an abrasive sponge. Do NOT use any cleanser or fluid.
15.3. 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.
15.4. 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.
15.5. 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.
15.6. 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
.
15.7. 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.
15.8. 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).
During the cleaning, it is necessary to remove the ash drawer, the grating, and the smoke deflectors from the device in order to ease the
fall of the soot. The deflectors can be easily extracted from their seats since they are not fastened using screws. Once the clearing has
been carried out, place them back in their seats (
).
CAUTION
:
The lack of the deflectors causes a strong depression, with a too fast combustion, an excessive consumption of wood
with related overheating of the device
.
15.9. BURN POT CLEANING
The burn pot must be cleaned on necessity, and in any case on every ignition.
WARNING: This operation must only be carried out when the appliance is cold
.
• Remove ash and unburned residues from the burn pot using a suction device.
