Chimney stove FULVIA – GAIA

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 steel, enamelled cast iron and thermo radiant ceramic.
The hearth is internally sheathed with single sheets in cast iron and inside it there is a turning and
extractable grate; the back side is extractable. Thanks to some calibrated holes made over that side, the
supply of pre-heated air inside hearth is guaranteed and having, in this way, a post-combustion which
increases theyield 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 vie w
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 stove is equipped with controls of primary and secondary air by which it is adjusted the combustion air.
(see chapter 10).

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

On the inferior part (Picture 1 pos. B) and on the over part (Picture 1 pos.
C) of the door there is the secondary air control. Also this register 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.
