Use Of The Oven; Maintenance And Care; Cleaning Of The Flue; Cleaning Of The Glass - LA NORDICA GISELLA Installation, Inbetriebnahme Und Wartungsanleitung

Then, check that all openings for the cleaning and the connections to the stack are air-tigh.

12. USE OF THE OVEN

After cleaning the grate, load some fuel. Thanks to the air flow for the combustion, the temperature of the
oven may become remarkably affected. A sufficient flue of the chimney and of the channels, well cleaned
for the flow of burning smokes around the oven are fundamental for a good cooking result.
The oven pan may be located on different plans. Thick cakes and big roasts must be introduced in the
lowest level.
Flat cakes and biscuits must reach the medium level. The upper level may be used to heat or grill.

13. 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!
13.1.

CLEANING OF THE FLUE

The correct lighting process, the use of quantities and suitable types of fuels, the correct position of
secondary air register, the sufficient chimney draught and the presence of combustive air are necessary for
the best running of equipment. One time per year it is advisable to effect a complete cleaning. This
operation, to be made only when the stove is cold, should be made by a chimney sweeper who can
perform an inspection at the same time.
During the cleaning, remove from the stove the ash drawer and the smokes pipe.
The casing of smokes collection may be cleaned from the hearth and, after removing the smokes pipe,
from the exhaust small trunk by using a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Once the cleaning has been completed, the same has to be positioned back in its seat.
13.2.

CLEANING OF THE GLASS

A specific input of secondary air slows effectively down the development of dirty deposit over the door
glass. Therefore it could not be avoided by using solid fuels (damp wood in particular) and has not to be
considered as an equipment defect.
IMPORTANT: the cleaning of the panoramic glass must be performed only while the stove is cold, to avoid
the explosion of the same. Do not use cloths, abrasive or chemically aggressive products by
cleaning the hearth glass and the upper temperate glasses.
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.
GLASSES BREAKING: the ceramic-glasses which resist to a thermic sudden change up to 750° C
are not subject to thermic shocks. Their breaking can be caused only by mechanic shocks (crashes
or strong door closures, etc.). For that reason their replacement is not under guarantee.
13.3.

CLEANING OF THE ASH DRAWER

All chimney stoves of La Nordica have a hearth grate and an ash drawer for the collection of ashes.
We suggest to periodically empty the ash drawer and to avoid filling it up totally, in order not to overheat
the grate.
Furthermore, we recommend to always let 3-4 cms. 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.
The chimney of the stove must be regularly cleaned by the chimney sweeper. Ask your chimney sweeper
to check the installation of the stove, the connection to the chimney and the aeration.
