4. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The chimney stoves of La NORDICA are suitable to heat living spaces for some periods. As fuel, it is
possible to use wood logs.
The chimney stove is made of sheets of metal in galvanized steel, cast iron and thermo radiant
IRONKER®. Inside it there is an extractable grate.
The hearth is endowed with a panorama door, whose ceramic glass, resistant up to 700 ° C, allows a
wonderful view on 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 controls of primary (Picture 1 pos. A) and secondary air (Picture 1 pos.
B), by which it is adjusted the combustion air.
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL (ash drawer)
The primary air control is found below the hearth door, in the style of
a pull-push lever (Picture 1, pos. A). By this control it is adjusted the
passage of air coming from the lower part of the stove and through
particular channels flows 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. During wood combustion, the primary air control must be
opened only for a while, because otherwise the wood burns fast and
the stove may overheat. (see chapter 12)

SECONDARY AIR CONTROL

Under and over the hearth door there is the secondary air control
(Picture 1 pos. B) in the style of a slider. Also this control must be
opened (then moved to the right), especially for wood combustion,
so that there is a post-combustion of un-burnt carbon. (see
paragraph 12).

5. 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.
THE HEARTHS MUST NOT BE MODIFIED.
