Lighting - Nordica TermoCamino BASE DSA Bedienungsanleitung

TERMOCAMINO BASE - DSA
It is necessary to place this wood in a dry and ventilated place (for example under a roofing) for at least two years before using it.
Besides others, it is not possible to burn: carbon, cuttings, waste of bark and panels, humid wood or wood treated with paints,
plastic materials; in this case, the warranty on the device becomes void.
Paper and cardboard must be used only to light the fire.
The combustion of waste is FORBIDDEN and would even damage the appliance and the flue, causing health damages and claims by
the neighborhood owing to the bad smell. The wood is not a fuel which allows a continuous operation of the appliance, as consequence
the heating all over the night is not possible.

ATTENTION : the continuous and protracted use of aromatic wood (eucalyptus, myrtle etc.) quickly damages the cast iron parts
(cleavage) of the product.

7. LIGHTING

ATTENTION: never light for any reason if the installation is not completely full of water in order to avoid a serious damage of
the whole structure. IABSOLUTELY DO NOT LIGHT THE FIRE IN THE THERMO-FIREPLACE IN THE TOTAL OR PARTIAL
ABSENCE OF WATER (NOT EVEN FOR CHECKING), AS IT COULD BE IRREMEDIABLY RUINED. IN SUCH CASE THE
WARRANTY ON THE APPLIANCE IS VOIDED.
Before installing the facing and lighting the thermo-fireplace, it must be loaded and the system filled from the open expansion tank by
means of the natural fall of the water (see chapter. SYSTEM CONNECTION AND FILLING).
After ensuring that at least one radiator is always open, open the door and load a small quantity of wood.
To light the fire, it is suggested to use 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. Never switch on the device when there are combustible gases
in the room.
The openings for air (primary and secondary) must be opened together (you must open the eventual Ignition control, and butterfly valve
placed on the pipe of smokes exhaust). When the wood starts burning, you may load other fuels and adjust the air for combustion
according to the instructions on paragraph TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION.
Please always be present during this phase. Never overload the appliance (see the technical table - max. quantity of fuel that can be
loaded / hourly consumption). Too much fuel and too much air for combustion can cause overheating and therefore damage the
same.
After the first ignition you can smell bad odours (owing to the drying of the glue used in the garnitures or of the paint) which disappear after
a brief using of the appliance. A good ventilation of the room should always be guaranteed.
ATTENTION: during the first lightings there could be a solid smokes condensation with a small escape of water from the thermo-
fireplace: this event will expire in a very short time but if it persists it will be necessary to check the chimney draught.
To perform a correct first lighting of the products treated with paints for high temperature, it is necessary to know the following information:
• the construction materials of the involved products are not homogeneous, in fact there are simultaneously parts in cast iron, steel,
refractory material and majolica;
• the temperature to which the body of the product is subject is not homogeneous: from area to area, variable temperatures within
the range of 300°C - 500°C are detected;
• during its life, the product is subject to alternated lighting and extinguishing cycles in the same day, as well as to cycles of intense
use or of absolute standstill when season changes;
• the new appliance, before being considered seasoned has to be subject to many start cycles to allow all materials and paints to
complete the various elastic stresses;
• in detail, initially it is possible to remark the emission of smells typical of metals subject to great thermal stress, as well as of wet
paint. This paint, although during the manufacture it is backed at 250 °C for some hours, must exceed many times and for a given
period of time the temperature of 350 °C before becoming completely embedded in the metallic surfaces.
Therefore, it is extremely relevant to take these easy steps during the lighting:
1. Make sure that a strong air change is assured in the room where the appliance is installed.
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 enamelled surfaces. Enamelled surfaces must
not be touched during heating.
6. Once the «break-in» has been completed, it is possible to use the product as the motor of a car, avoiding abrupt heating with
excessive loads.
