4. FIRE SAFETY
When installing the product, the following safety measures must be observed:
a) In order to ensure sufficient thermal insulation, respect the minimum safety distance from objects or furnishing components flammable
and sensitive to heat (furniture, wood sheathings, fabrics. etc.) and from materials with flammable structure (see
-
A
).
All the minimum safety distances are shown on the product data plate and lower values must not be used
.
b) In front of the furnace door, in the radiation area there must be no flammable or heat-sensitive objects or material at a distance of less
than
100 cm
. This distance can be reduced to 40 cm where a rear-ventilated, heat-resistant protection device is installed in front of the
whole component to protect.
c) If the product is installed on a non totally refractory floor, one must foresee a fireproof background.
The floors made of inflammable
material
, such as moquette, parquet or cork etc.,
must be replaced
by a layer of no-inflammable material, for instance ceramic, stone,
glass or steel etc. (size according to regional law).
In case the replacement of the floor is not possible, the appliance shall be
placed on a minimum 12 cm thick slab made of stone or concrete
. The base must extend at least
50 cm
at the front and at least
30 cm
at the sides, in addition to the opening of the loading door (see
B
).
d) No flammable components (e.g. wall units) must be present above the product.
The Product must always operate exclusively with the ash drawer inserted. The solid combustion residues (ash) must be collected in a
sealed, fire resistant container. The Product must never be on in the presence of gaseous emissions or vapours (for example glue for
linoleum, petrol etc.). Never deposit flammable materials near the Product.
During combustion, thermal energy is released which leads to considerable heating of the surfaces, doors, handles, controls, glass parts,
the flue gas pipe and possibly the front part of the appliance.
Avoid contact with these elements unless using suitable protective
clothing or accessories
(heat resistant gloves, control devices).
Ensure children are aware of these dangers and keep them away from the furnace when it is on.
When using the wrong fuel or one which is too damp, due to deposits present in the flue, a flue fire is possible.
4.1. IN A EMERGENCY
If there is a fire in the flue connection :
a) Close the loading door and the ash drawer door
b) Close the comburent air registers
c) Use carbon dioxide ( CO
2
powder ) extinguishers to put out the fire
d) Request the immediate intervention of the Fire Brigade
DO NOT PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH WATER.
When the flue stops burning, have it checked by a specialist to identify any cracks or permeable points.
5. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
La NORDICA thermocookers are suitable for heating living spaces equipped with a central heating system made up of radiators or
convectors completely or partially replacing the traditional gas or diesel boiler. These are ideal for holiday flats and weekend houses or as
auxiliary heating all year round.
Wooden logs are used as fuel.
The appliance works as an intermittent operating appliance
.
The thermocooker is composed of galvanised steel sheet plates, enamelled cast iron and thermoradiant ceramic. The furnace is found
inside the boiler made with 4 mm thick steel and reinforced with welded nails. The water from the heating system, which absorbs the heat
produced in the furnace, circulates in the boiler. Inside the furnace, there is a height-adjustable flat grill (
).
The furnace is equipped with a panoramic door with ceramic glass (resistant up to 700°C). This allows a fascinating view of the burning
flames. In addition, in this way there is no possibility of sparks or smoke escaping.
The heating of the room takes place:
a)
by means of radiation
: through the panoramic glass and the hot external surfaces of the stove, heat is radiated into the room.
b)
by
conduction
: through radiators or convectors in the central heating system fed by the hot water produced by the Thermocooker
itself.
The thermocooker is supplied with registers for primary and secondary air and a thermostat with which the combustion air is regulated.
1A - PRIMARY Air Register / AUTOMATIC Thermostat
The thermostat has the task of automatically increasing or decreasing combustion.
Dependent on the position chosen, the thermostat will act on the valve which regulates the intake of air into the furnace, placed on the
back of the cooker. Turn it in a clockwise direction from 0 to 5 to make up the fire and in an anti-clockwise direction to reduce combustion.
As this is an extremely precise device, it is advisable to turn it carefully and never force the knob.
2A - SECONDARY Air Register
).
This register must be open (i.e. turned completely to the right), in particular for the combustion of wood (see paragraph NORMAL
OPERATION). The secondary air, passing between the double glass of the fire door, heats up and triggers the dual combustion, keeping
the glass clean at the same time (register open).
To ignite the flame
follow the instructions below (see Cap. IGNITION) :
• Open the butterfly valve placed on the flue gas exhaust pipe must also be opened.
• Position the thermostat knob on position 5 (maximum opening).
• After having started the fire with small pieces of wood and waited until it is well lit, adjust the thermostat to the positions corresponding
to the desired heat (0÷5).
• Close the butterfly valve placed on the flue gas exhaust pipe must also be opened.
