12. OPERATION IN TRANSITION PERIODS
During transition periods when the external temperatures are higher, if there is a sudden increase of
temperature it can happen that 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-tight.
13. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Let the installation of your stove, the connection to chimney and the ventilation check by your chimney
sweeper.
For the cleaning of enamelled surfaces use soap water or not aggressive and not chemically abrasive
detergents. If the components become bluish due to overheating, this can be solved with a suitable product
for cleaning.
IMPORTANT
: It is possible to use exclusively spare parts clearly authorized and offered by LA NORDICA.
In case of need please apply to your dealer!
THE APPLIANCE CAN NOT BE MODIFIED!
13.1.
CLEANING OF THE FLUE
A correct lighting, the burning of a proper fuel, the loading of the suggested quantity of fuel, the right
adjustments of the secondary air control, the sufficient draught of the chimney and the presence of air for
the combustion, are essential for the good operation of the appliance.
The appliance should be completely cleaned at least once a year or every time it is needed (in case of bad
working and low yield).
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 cleaning, remove from the cooker the smokes exhaust
small trunk and the smokes pipe.
The smokes collection casing can be cleaned either through the door
which is under the oven (after removing the two screws which fix the door
to the front side of the cooker Picture 9) or from the top.
To this purpose remove the circles of the cooking plate and disassemble
the smokes pipe from the exhaust small trunk.
Cleaning can be made with a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Pay attention that, after cleaning, all dismounted parts are reinstalled hermetically.
13.2.
CLEANING OF THE GLASS
Thanks to a specific entry of the secondary air the building of deposit on the glass of the door is slowed
down in a remarkable way. However the building of this deposit cannot be avoided with the use of solid
fuels such as wet wood, and this is not to be considered as a defect of the appliance.
IMPORTANT: The cleaning of the sight glass must be carried out only and exclusively with cold
appliance to avoid the explosion of the same.
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: Considering that the glasses are manufactured in glass-ceramic and
resistant to heat shock up to 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.
13.3.
CLEANING OF THE ASH DRAWER
All the appliances are equipped with a shaking hearth grate and an ash drawer for the collection of the
ashes.
