Chimney stove SUPER MAX - SUPER JUNIOR

2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The chimney stoves of La Nordica are suitable to heat living spaces for some periods or to support an
insufficient centralized heating system. They are ideal for holiday apartments and weekend houses or as
an auxiliary heating system during the whole year. As fuel, it is possible to use wood logs.
The stove is made of sheets in galvanized and painted steel and of enamelled cast iron. The hearth is
internally sheathed with single sheets in cast iron and the back side is extractable. Thanks to some
calibrated holes made over that side, the supply of pre-heated air inside the hearth is guaranteed and
having, in this way, a post-combustion which increases the yield and reduces gas output. Inside it there is a
turning and extractable grate.
The hearth is equipped with a panoramic door with ceramic glass resistant up to 700 ° C. This allows a
wonderful view on the burning flames and avoids any possible output of sparks and smoke.
The heating of the environment is made by.
•
Convection: (70%) the air passage through the double mantel of the
stove releases heat into the environment.
•
Irradiation (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 registers of primary and
secondary air by which it is adjusted the combustion air.

2.1. PRIMARY AIR CONTROL (movable valve)

With the primary air control (movable valve), which is found below the
hearth door, it is adjusted the passage of air through the ash drawer and
the grate in the fuel direction (Picture 1, pos. A )
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. Through the primary air the fire is also kept alive.
During wood combustion, the register of primary air must be opened only for
a while, because otherwise the wood burns fast and the stove may
overheat.

2.2. SECONDARY AIR CONTROL

Over the hearth door there is the secondary air register (Picture 1 pos. B ). Also this valve must be opened
(then moved to the right), especially for wood combustion.

3. 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.
