Cleaning Out The Ashes; Maintenance On The Extendible Guides; Maintenance On The Water System; Summer Set Aside - Nordica TermoCamino BASE DSA Anweisungen

IMPORTANT: The viewing window must only be cleaned when the appliance is cold to prevent it from
exploding. To clean the glass, use specific products or make a ball of newspaper, dampen it and run it through
the ashes, and rub the 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.
GLASS BREAKAGE: As the windows are made of ceramic glass resistant to heat up to 750° C they are not
subject to thermal shock. The glass can only be broken by mechanical shocks (impact or violent closure of
the door, etc.). Therefore, replacement is not included in the warranty.

CLEANING OUT THE ASHES

All the LA NORDICA appliances have a hearth grille and a drawer for collecting the ashes.
We recommend that you empty the ash drawer periodically and do not let it fill completely in order to avoid
overheating the grille. It is advisable to always leave 3-4 cm of ash in the hearth.
ATTENTION: The ashes removed from the hearth should be place in a fire-retardant container with sealed lid. The
container should be placed on a fireproof floor, far from flammable materials, until the material is completely
extinguished and cooled.

MAINTENANCE ON THE EXTENDIBLE GUIDES

To ensure that the doors of the single-block units have a silent, reliable, and durable operation, they are fixed onto
extendible ball bearing guides. With continuous use of the appliance over time, the lubricant of the guides tends to
gradually diminish, making them harder to slide and noisier.
For this reason, each appliance is supplied with a syringe of high temperature grease so that the user can lubricate
the guides when it becomes necessary (excessive noise or friction when sliding).
After having raised the door completely, use the syringe provided to apply two beads of grease (corresponding to 0.5
ml on the graduated scale of the syringe) on the inside on the track at the highest point possible. Pay attention not to
exceed the recommend amount of grease.
Repeat this operation on the other track, and raise and lower the door several times so that the grease is distributed
on all the ball bearings.
ATTENTION: Only use the grease in the La Nordica syringe.

MAINTENANCE ON THE WATER SYSTEM

With the system switched off, once a year carry out the following checks:
• Check the operation and efficiency of the blowdown and safety valves. If they are defective, contact your
authorised installer. IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO REMOVE OR TAMPER WITH THE SAFETY DEVICES.
• Check the thermal insulation of the filling pipe and the safety pipe.
• Make sure that the system is filled and under pressure, checking the water level in the expansion tank; also check
that it is working properly and check the efficiency of the safety pipe.

14. SUMMER SET ASIDE

ATTENTION: the installation must be kept constantly full of water even in periods in which the use of thermo-
fireplaces is not required. During winter time, inactivity must be faced by adding antifreeze substances.
After cleaning the hearth, the chimney, and the flue, removing all ashes and any other residues, close all the doors of
the hearth and the respective registers.
We recommend that the flue be cleaned at least once a year. In the meantime, check the condition of the door seals;
if they are not perfectly integral (i.e. no longer adhering to the door), they will not guarantee the proper operation of
the appliance and therefore must be replaced.
In case of dampness in the room where the appliance is installed, scatter some absorbent salts inside the hearth.
To maintain the aesthetic appearance over time, protect the inside parts in cast iron with Vaseline.
Check the water level in the expansion tank and remove any air from the system by bleeding the radiators; also check
to make sure that the plumbing and electrical accessories (control unit, circulator) are working properly.
