MAINTENANCE AND CARE
ALWAYs FOLLOW THE INsTRUCTIONs IN COMPLETE sAFETY!
• Make sure that the power cord is unplugged (if present).
• That the generator is cold all over.
• The ashes are completely cold.
• Ensure efficient air exchange in the room during the product cleaning operations.
• Poor cleaning will compromise correct operation and safety!
PERIODIC CLEANINg UNDER UsER’s REsPONsIBILITY
The periodic cleaning operations, as indicated in this use and maintenance manual, must be performed with the utmost care after reading the
instructions, procedures and frequency described in this use and maintenance manual.
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 AND CARE MUsT BE CARRIED OUT ONLY AND ExCLUsIVELY WITH COLD DEVICE .
You
should only use spare parts approved and supplied by
La NORDICA s.p.A.
. 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 a 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 (
Picture 12
).
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
.
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,
