recommend leaving always 3-4 cm of ash in the hearth.
ATTENTION
: 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.
12.5. MAJOLICAS
LA NORDICA has chosen majolica tiles, which are the result of high-quality artisan work. As they are completely
carried out by hand, the majolica may present crackles, speckles, and shadings. These characteristics certify their
precious origin.
Enamel and majolica, due to their different coefficient of dilatation, produce microcrackles, which show their authentic
feature.
For the cleaning of the majolica we suggest you to use a soft and dry cloth; if you use a detergent or liquid, the latter
might soak in and
highlight the crackles permanently
.
12 SUMMER STOP
After you have cleaned the hearth, the chimney and the flue, trying to eliminate completely the ash and others
residuals, close the doors of the hearth and its 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.
The cleaning of the flue should be done at least once a year; in the meanwhile check the state of the gaskets, which if
not perfectly intact, that is to say that they are not more close-fitting with the stove, do not guarantee the good working
of the stove! In that case the gaskets must be replaced.
In presence of dampness in the room where the stove has been placed, we advise you to put absorbent salts into the
hearth.
If you want to keep for long the aesthetic look of the stove it is important to protect its internal walls in cast iron with
neutral Vaseline.
13. CONNECTING A CHIMNEY OR OPEN FURNACE TO THE FLUE
The smoke channel is the section of tube that connects the product
to the flue, in the connection these simple but very important
principles must be followed:
•
for no reason must the smoke channel be used with a
diameter lower than that of the neck of the outlet with which
the product is fitted;
•
each metre of horizontal route of the smoke channel
causes a small leak of charge which should be
compensated for by raising the flue;
•
the horizontal section must never be higher than 2 m (UNI
10683-2005);
•
each bend of the smoke channel considerably reduces the
draught of the flue which must be compensated for by
raising it suitably;
•
the UNI 10683-2005 Regulation –Italy requires that the
bends or variations of direction must in no case be greater
than 2 including the emission into the flue.
Wanting to use the flue of a chimney or open furnace, it will be
necessary to close the hood hermetically below the inlet point of the
smoke channel pos.

If the flue is too large (e.g. cm 30x40 or 40x50) it is necessary to
duct it with a stainless steel tube of at least 200 mm of diameter,
