Instructions for installation, use and maintenance – EN – Rev.02
The casing of smokes collection may be cleaned from the hearth and, after removing the smokes pipe,
from the exhaust small trunk by using a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Once the cleaning has been completed, the same has to be positioned back in its seat.
13.2.
CLEANING OF THE GLASS
A specific input of secondary air slows effectively down the development of dirty deposit over the door
glass. Therefore it could not be avoided by using solid fuels (damp wood in particular) and has not to be
considered as an equipment defect.
IMPORTANT: the cleaning of the panoramic glass must be performed only while the stove is cold, to avoid
the explosion of the same.
GLASSES BREAKING: the ceramic-glasses which resist to a thermic sudden change up to 750° C
are not subject to thermic shocks. Their breaking can be caused only by mechanic shocks (crashes
or strong door closures, etc.). For that reason their replacement is not under guarantee.
13.3.
CLEANING OF THE ASH DRAWER
All chimney stoves of La Nordica have a hearth grate and an ash drawer for the collection of ashes.
We suggest to periodically empty the ash drawer and to avoid filling it up totally, in order not to overheat
the grate.
Furthermore, we recommend to always let 3-4 cms. of ash in the hearth.
ATTENTION: 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.
The chimney of the stove must be regularly cleaned by the chimney sweeper. Ask your chimney sweeper
to check the installation of the stove, the connection to the chimney and the aeration.
13.4.
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.
14. 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.
