CLEANING THE GLASS

After having checked that the door is completely shut (lowered), unlock the upper latch (Picture 20 pos. A), open the
flap and clean the glass, then close the flap and lock the latch before lifting again the door.
Thanks to a specific inlet of secondary air, the accumulation of dirty sediments on the glass-door is reduced with
efficacy. Nevertheless this can never be avoided by using solid fuels (particularly wet wood) and it has not to be
understood as a defect of the appliance.
IMPORTANT: The cleaning of the sight glass must be
carried out only and exclusively with cold device to
avoid the explosion of the same. For the cleaning, it is
possible to use specific products or a wet newspaper paper
ball passed in the ash to rub it. Do not use cloths,
abrasive or chemically aggressive products by cleaning
the hearth 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.
BREAKING THE GLASS DOORS: The glass doors are made
in glass ceramic resistant to heat up to 750° C and are
therefore not prone to thermal shocks. They can only be
broken in the instance of mechanical shocks (bumps or
slamming of the door, etc.). They are therefore not replaced
under the terms of the warranty.

CLEANING THE ASH DRAWER

All the devices feature a hearth grate and ash drawer for
collecting ash.
You should empty the ash drawer regularly to avoid it filling up
completely and therefore prevent the grate from overheating. We also recommend you always leave 3-4 cm of ash in
the hearth.
Ash removed from the hearth should be placed in a fire-resistant container with air-tight cover. The container should
be placed on a fire-resistant floor away from flammable materials until they are fully extinguished and cooled down.
Check and clean the external air intake at least one a year.
The chimney sweeper should sweep out the stack on a regular basis.
Ask your local chimney sweeper to check that the device is properly installed, connected to the stack and ventilated.
13.4.

MAINTENANCE OF THE EXTENDABLE GUIDES

The fireplace's door is attached to extendable ball guides to ensure silent, reliable and durable operation. The
lubricant on the guides, however, wears off the more the device is used, making the door less easy and noisier to
slide open. A syringe of heat-resistant lubricant is therefore provided with each fireplace for the user to lubricate the
guides whenever necessary (if the door opens noisily or with less ease).
You need to fully raise the door and use the syringe to apply two doses of lubricant (0.5 ml each, as indicated on the
syringe's graded scale) at the highest visible point on a rail. Do not exceed the recommended quantity.
Repeat the same procedure on the other rail and raise and lower the door a couple of times to spread the lubricant
over all the ball guides.
ATTENTION: use only syringe lubricant supplied by La Nordica.

SUMMER HOLIDAYS

You need to clean the hearth, stack and flue, removing all ash and any other residue and then close all of the hearth's
doors and regulators.
The flue should be cleaned at least once a year; in the meantime, check the condition of the door seals which, if not in
perfect condition (no longer adhering to the door), will not guarantee the device's perfect working order! Any worn
seals should therefore be replaced.
Place absorbent salts in the hearth if there is any humidity in the room where the device is installed.
You can rub the internal cast iron components in neutral Vaseline to keep them looking good.
