Normal Operation; Operation In The Transition Periods - Nordica TermoCamino BASE DSA Anweisungen

• In particular initially, you may notice the emission of the typical odours of metals subjected to high thermal stress
and of still fresh paint. This paint, though it is baked during manufacture at 250° C for a number of h ours, must be
subject to a temperature of 350° C numerous times an d for a certain duration before it becomes perfectly
incorporated with the metallic surfaces.
It is therefore important to follow these simple measures during the lighting phase:
1) Make sure that there is good air exchange in the place where the appliance is installed.
2) During the first lightings, do not excessively load the combustion chamber (about half the quantity indicated in the
instruction manual), and keep the product lit for at least 6-10 hours continuously, with the registers less open than
that indicated in the instruction manual.
3) Repeat this operation for at least 4-5 or more times, depending on your availability.
4) Subsequently, increase the load (in any case following that which is described in the instruction booklet regarding
the maximum load) and if possible keep long periods of lighting, avoiding, at least in this initial phase, brief cycles
of lighting-shutdown.
5) During the first lightings, no object must be set on the appliance and in particular on the enamelled
surfaces. The enamelled surfaces must not be touched during heating.
6) Once the "road test" has been passed, your product can be used like a car engine, avoiding brusque heating with
excessive loads.
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.
IMPORTANT: Only after a few days of operation (the time necessary for determining that the appliance is
operating correctly), you can begin to assemble the aesthetic facing. We recommend providing an
inspection door on the counter plate or elsewhere as suitable to provide easy accessibility and visibility of the
safety devices (pressure gauges, valves,..) .

10. NORMAL OPERATION

After positioning the air register correctly, insert the hourly load of wood (see Chapter 19), avoiding overloads that
could cause anomalous stresses or deformation.
Failure to observe this rule will void the warranty.
The heat emission is regulated with the register situated on the front of the appliance, which should be opened
according to your heating needs. The regulation of the register necessary for obtaining the nominal heat output with
depression to the chimney of 17 - 20 Pa (= 1.7 – 2 mm of column of water) is as follows:
In the event that the water temperature exceeds the tripping temperature of the safety devices, immediately
suspend the feeding of wood, and make sure that the water temperature and the flame decrease, eliminating
the causes of the overheating (if necessary by closing the air register).
If the water system is connected in the thermo-fireplace, the hot water tap can be opened to speed up the
cooling of the appliance.
The combustion intensity and therefore the heating output of your appliance are influenced not only by the regulation
of the combustion air but also by the chimney. Good draught requires a more reduced regulation of the combustion
air, and poor draught requires a more precise regulation of the combustion air.
To verify efficient combustion, check that the smoke coming out of the chimney is transparent.
If the smoke is white, it means that the appliance is not regulated correctly or that the wood is too damp; if the smoke
is grey or black, it means that combustion is not complete (a greater quantity of secondary air is needed).
Never overload the thermo-fireplace.
Too much fuel and air for the combustion can cause overheating and therefore damage ther thermo-fireplace.
The damages caused by overheating are not covered by guarantee.
The thermo-fireplace must always be used with closed door to avoid the forge effect.

11. OPERATION IN THE TRANSITION PERIODS

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.
The installation must always be full of water even when the thermo-fireplace is not used. A possible no use during
winter season must be faced by adding antifreeze substances.
During transition period when the external temperatures are higher, if there is a sudden increase of temperature it can
happen that the combustion gas inside the flue are not completely sucked up. The exhaust gases do not come out
completely (intense smell of gas).
