Normal Operation - LA NORDICA DORELLA L8 Anweisungen

DORELLA L8 – DORELLA L12
2) During the first starts, do not load excessively the combustion chamber (about half the quantity
indicated in the instructions manual) and keep the product continuously ON for at least 6-10 hours
with the registers less open than the value indicated in the instructions manual.
3) Repeat this operation for at least 4-5 or more times, according to your possibilities.
4) Then load more and more fuel (following in any case the provisions contained in the installation
booklet concerning maximum load) and, if possible, keep the lighting periods long avoiding, at least
in this initial phase, short ON/OFF cycles.
5) During the first starts, no object should be leaned on the appliance and in detail on painted
surfaces. Painted surfaces must not be touched during heating.
Once the «break-in» has been completed, it is possible to use the product as the motor of a car,
6)
avoiding abrupt heating with excessive loads.
To light the fire, it is suggested using small wood pieces together with paper or other traded lighting means.
It is FORBIDDEN to use any liquid substance as for ex. alcohol, gasoline, oil and similar.
The openings for air (primary and secondary) must be opened together just a little (you must open the
eventual butterfly valve placed on the pipe of smokes exhaust). When the wood starts burning, adjust the
air for combustion according to the instructions on paragraph 10.
Never overload the stove (compare the technical table - max. quantity of loadable fuel).
Too much fuel and too much air for the combustion may cause overheating and then damage the
stove, as a consequence some scratches in the lower front part of the stove could happen.
The warranty does not cover the damages due to overheating of the equipment.

NORMAL OPERATION

For safety reasons the door of the appliances with constructive system 1, must be opened only for the
loading of the fuel or for removing the ashes, while during the operation and the rest, the door of the hearth
must remain closed.
The appliances with constructive system 2 must be connected to their own flue. The operating with open
door is allowed under supervision.
IMPORTANT: For safety reasons the door of the hearth can be opened only for the loading of the
fuel. The hearth door must always remain closed during operation or rest.
The nominal power of the appliance (6,5 kW) will be reached with a minimum depression in the chimney of
12 Pa ( = 1,2 mm of water column).
With the registers located on the front of the appliance it is possible to adjust the heat emission of the
same. They have to be opened according to the calorific need. The best combustion (with minimum
emissions) is reached when, by loading the wood, most part of the air for combustion flows through the
secondary air register.
Never overload the appliance (see the hourly wood load in the table here below). Too much fuel and
too much air for the combustion may cause overheating and then damage the stove.
The warranty does not cover the damages due to overheating of the equipment.
You should always use the stove with the door closed in order to avoid damages due to overheating
(forge effect).

Besides by the adjustment of air for the combustion, the intensity of combustion and then the calorific value
of your stove is affected by the chimney. A good flue of the chimney requires a more reduced adjustment of
air for the combustion, while a poor flue needs more an exact adjustment of air for combustion.
