14. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Let the installation of your cooker, 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!

14.1. 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 the cleaning, it is necessary to remove from the appliance the
ash drawer and the smokes pipes. It is possible to clean the space for the collection of smokes from the
hearth or through the smoke exhaust, by using a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Once the cleaning has been completed, the same has to be positioned back in its seat.

14.2. 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. The ir 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.

14.3. CLEANING OF THE ASH DRAWER

All the appliances are equipped with a hearth grate and an ash drawer for the collection of the ashes.
It is suggested to empty periodically the ash drawer and to avoid it fills completely in order not to overheat
the grate. Moreover, we 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.

15. SUMMER STOP

After cleaning the hearth, chimney and hood, totally eliminating the ash and other eventual residues, close
all the doors of the hearth and the relevant registers and disconnect the appliance from the chimney.
We suggest performing the cleaning operation of the flue at least once per year; verifying in the meantime
the actual status of the rope seals, which cannot ensure the good operation of the equipment if they are not
in good condition and are not making a good seal! In this case the seals must be replaced.
