2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The chimney stoves of La Nordica are suitable to heat living spaces for some periods or to support an
insufficient centralized heating system. They are ideal for holiday apartments and weekend houses or as
an auxiliary heating system during the whole year. As fuel, it is possible to use wood logs.
The chimney stove is made of metal sheets in galvanized steel, enamelled cast iron and, depending on the
versions, thermo radiant ceramics or soapstone plates. The hearth is totally sheathed with single cast-iron
sheets. Its back is extractable. Thanks to calibrated holes, made on the same back, it is guaranteed a
supply of pre-heated air inside the hearth, thus obtaining a post-combustion which increases the efficiency
and reduces the emission of the unburnt gases. Inside it there is a turning and extractable grate.
The hearth is equipped with a panoramic door with ceramic glass (resistant up to 700 ° C). This allows a
wonderful view of the burning flames. Furthermore, it is thus avoided the output of sparks and smoke.
The heating of the environment is made:
a) by convection (about 70%): the passage of air through the double
sheath of the stove releases heat in the environment.
b) by radiation (about 30%): through the panoramic glass and the
external hot surfaces of the stove, the heat is radiated into the
environment.
The chimney stove is equipped with registers of primary and
secondary air by which it is adjusted the combustion air.
Primary air register (A Picture 1)
With the air register placed under the door of the hearth, it is
adjusted the passage of air through the ash drawer and the grate in
the fuel direction. The primary air is necessary for the combustion
process. The ash drawer must be regularly emptied, so that the ash
does not obstruct the primary air entry for the combustion. Through
the primary air the fire is also kept alive.
During wood combustion, the register of primary air must be opened
only for a while, because otherwise the wood burns fast and the
stove may overheat.
Secondary air register (B Picture 1)
Over the hearth door there is the secondary air register. Also this
valve must be opened (then moved to the right), especially for wood
combustion, so that unburnt carbon undergoes a post-combustion .
See paragraph 10.
3. RULES FOR INSTALLATION
The stove, assembled and ready for the installation, must be connected with a junction to the existing flue
of the house. The junction must be possibly short, straight, horizontal or positioned a little uphill. The
connections must be tight.
It is obligatory to respect the National and European rules, local regulations concerning building
matter and also fireproofs rules. Please apply to your chimney sweeper for all information.
You should verify the sufficient air entrance for the combustion in the installation place, with particular
attention to windows and doors with tight closing (seal ropes).
It is not allowed the connection of various appliances to the same chimney. The diameter of the opening for
the connection must correspond at least to the diameter of the smokes pipe. The opening should be
equipped with a wall connection for the reception of the exhaust pipe and a rose window.
Before installation, verify if your floor can support the weight of the stove (for ex. distributing weight plate).
LA NORDICA is not responsible in case of modification of the product and for the use of not
original spare parts.
