ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY FAILURE

In the event of an unexpected electrical power supply failure during normal system operation, it will be necessary to
carry out these simple manoeuvres to prevent the water in the boiler starting to boil as a consequence of the lack of
pump operation.
1. Close completely the primary and secondary air registers in order to smother the flame as much as
possible.
2. Close the smokes register, if existing, to limit further coming of combustive air through possible cracks.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Have a chimneysweep check the correct installation, connection to the chimney and aeration.
IMPORTANT : only spare parts which have expressly authorised and offered by La Nordica can be used. In case of
need, please contact your specialised dealer.
THE APPLIANCE CANNOT BE MODIFIED!
13.1.

FLUE CLEANING

The correct ignition procedure, the use of suitable quantities and types of fuel, the correct positioning of air register,
sufficient chimney draught and the presence of combustive air are essential for optimum appliance operation.
During normal use, the chimney is not subject to being damaged in any way.
The appliance should be thoroughly cleaned at least once a year or whenever necessary. An excessive deposit of
soot (creosote) can cause problems in fume exhaust and fire in the flue itself. Cleaning must only be carried out when
the appliance is cold.
This operation must be performed by a chimney sweep, who can make an inspection at the same time. Excessive
incrustation deposits on the inner walls of the hearth considerably reduce the efficiency of heat exchange; therefore,
remove these deposits using a steel brush whenever necessary. Never use corrosive substances that can
damage the thermo-fireplace and the boiler.
During cleaning, remove the ash drawer, the grille, and the smoke deflectors from the appliance so that the soot will
fall out. The deflectors are easy to remove from their seats as they are not secured with screws. When you have
finished cleaning, position them back in their seats.
ATTENTION: The absence of the deflector causes a strong depression, leading to excessively fast
combustion and excessive wood consumption, with consequent overheating of the appliance.
13.2.

GLASS CLEANING

Through a specific secondary air inlet, the formation of deposits of dirt on door glass is effectively slowed down. It
cannot though ever be avoided with the use of solid fuels (damp wood in particular) and this is not to be considered
as a defect of the appliance.
After checking to make sure that the door is completely lowered, use the key provided to unlock and open it. Clean
the window and re-close before raising the door.
IMPORTANT: The viewing window must only be cleaned when the appliance is cold to prevent it from
exploding. To clean the glass, use specific products or make a ball of newspaper, dampen it and run
it through the ashes, and rub the 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.
GLASS BREAKAGE: As the windows are made of ceramic glass resistant to heat up to 750°C they are not
subject to thermal shock. The glass can only be broken by mechanical shocks (impact or violent closure of
the door, etc.). Therefore, replacement is not included in the warranty.
13.3.

CLEANING OUT THE ASHES

All the LA NORDICA appliances have a hearth grille and a drawer for collecting the ashes.
We recommend that you empty the ash drawer periodically and do not let it fill completely in order to avoid
overheating the grille. It is advisable to always leave 3-4 cm of ash in the hearth.
ATTENTION : The ashes removed from the hearth should be place in a fire-retardant container with sealed lid.The
container should be placed on a fireproof floor, far from flammable materials, until the material is completely
extinguished and cooled.
13.4.

MAINTENANCE ON THE EXTENDIBLE GUIDES

To ensure that the doors of the single-block units have a silent, reliable, and durable operation, they are fixed onto
extendible ball bearing guides. With continuous use of the appliance over time, the lubricant of the guides tends to
gradually diminish, making them harder to slide and noisier.
