With the registers located on the front of the appliance (Picture 1), it is possible to adjust the heat emission
of the same. They have to be opened according to the calorific need. The best combustion (with minimum
emissions) is reached when, by loading the wood, most part of the air for combustion flows through the
secondary air register.
Never overload the appliance (see the hourly wood load in the table here below). Too much fuel and
too much air for the combustion may cause overheating and then damage the stove.
You should always use the
ELLIPSE
with the door closed in order to avoid damages due to overheating
(forge effect).
The inobservance of this rule makes the warranty expire.

The
ELLIPSE
is an appliance with intermittent operation.
Besides the adjustment of air for combustion, the intensity of the combustion and consequently the thermal
performance of your appliance is influenced by the stack. A good draught of the stack requires a stricter
adjustment of air for combustion, while a poor draught requires a more precise adjustment of air for
combustion.
To verify the good combustion, check whether the smoke coming out from the stack is transparent.
If it is white, it means that the appliance is not properly adjusted or the wood is too wet; if instead the
smoke is grey or black, it signals that the combustion is not complete (it is necessary a greater quantity of
secondary air.
Refuelling
"Keep the combustion chamber well filled but do not overfill. Logs should be evenly distributed across the
fire bed. If the fire has died down then small wood pieces (kindling) should be added and the primary air
register opened to establish the fire bed before adding larger logs, then close the primary air control and
control the combustion through the secondary air register."
11. OPERATION DURING 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.
12. 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.
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!
12.1. 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.
