Cleaning Out The Ashes; Cleaning The Flue; Summer Stop; Maintenance Of The Extensible Guides - Nordica MONOBLOCCO 1000 Benutzerhandbuch

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.
BREAK OF GLASSES: Given that the glass-ceramic glasses resist up to a heat shock of 750°C, they are not subject
to thermal shocks. Their break can be caused only by mechanic shocks (bumps or violent closure of the door,
etc.). Therefore, their replacement is not included in the warranty.

CLEANING OUT THE ASHES

All the devices are equipped with a hearth grating and an ash drawer for the collection of the ashes.
It is suggested to empty periodically the ash drawer and to avoid it fills completely in order not to overheat the grating. Moreover, it is
suggested to leave always 3-4 cm of ash in the hearth.
CAUTION: The ashes removed from the hearth have to be stored in a container made of fire-resistant material
equipped with an air-tight cover. The container has to be placed on a fire-resistant floor, far from flammable
materials up to the switching off and complete cooling.

CLEANING THE FLUE

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.
The device should be completely cleaned at least once a year or every time it is a needed (in case of bad working and low yield). An
excessive deposit of soot can cause problems in the discharge of smokes and fire in the flue.
The cleaning must be carried out exclusively with cold equipment. This operation should be carried out by a chimney
sweeper who can simultaneously perform an audit of the flue (checking of possible deposits).
During the cleaning, it is necessary to remove the ash drawer, the grating, and the smoke deflectors from the device in order to ease
the fall of the soot. The deflectors can be easily extracted from their seats since they are not fastened using screws. Once the clearing
has been carried out, place them back in their seats
CAUTION: The lack of the deflectors causes a strong depression, with a too fast combustion, an excessive
consumption of wood with related overheating of the device.

SUMMER STOP

After cleaning the hearth, chimney and hood, totally eliminating the ash and other eventual residues, close all the doors of the hearth
and the relevant registers; in case you disconnect the appliance from the chimney you must close its openings in order to let work
others possible appliances connected to the same flue.
We suggest performing the cleaning operation of the flue at least once per year; verifying in the meantime the actual status of the rope
seals, which cannot ensure the good operation of the equipment if they are not in good condition and are not making a good seal! In
this case the seals must be replaced.
In presence of dampness in the room where the stove has been placed, we advise you to put absorbent salts into the hearth.
If you want to keep for long the aesthetic look of the cooker it is important to protect its internal walls in row cast iron with
neutral Vaseline.

MAINTENANCE OF THE ExTENSIBLE GUIDES

To work silently, as well as in a reliable and robust way, the doors are fastened to the extensible ball guides. By using the device
continuously, the lubricant of the guides tends to run out progressively in time making their sliding more difficult and noisy. For this
reason, together with each device a high temperature grease is supplied in order to make the lubrication of the guides possible for
the user, in case it becomes necessary (excessive noise or reduction of smoothness). After having completely lifted the door of the
stack, using a syringe, apply internally on the track on a visible point, as high as possible, two grease balls (corresponding to 0.5 ml
of the graduated scale of the syringe).
Pay attention not to exceed the suggested quantity. Repeat the same operation on the other track and lift and lower the door
many times so that the grease distributes on all balls.
CAUTION: use exclusively the grease supplied by La NORDICA.
