OVEN USE

After having cleaned the furnace grill, load the fuel. Thanks to the supply of air for combustion, the oven temperature
can be influenced slightly. Sufficient chimney draught and very clean channels for the flow of scorching flue gas
around the oven are essential for a good cooking result. The flue gas register must be completely drawn towards the
front of the thermocooker.
The oven pan can be placed on various levels. Thick cakes and large roasts should be inserted at the lowest level.
Thin cakes and biscuits go on a medium level. The highest level can be used for heating or browning.
The thermocooker is equipped with a cast iron furnace grill which can be removed using a specific handle. The upper
position optimises the use of the hotplate while the lower one optimises water and oven heating.

ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY FAILURE

In the event of an unexpected electrical power supply failure during normal system operation, it will be necessary to
carry out these simple manoeuvres to prevent the water in the boiler starting to boil as a consequence of the lack of
pump operation.
1 Raise the moveable furnace grill to the highest level in order to reduce the exchange surface exposed to the heat
of the flame.
2 Close the primary and secondary air registers in addition to turning the thermostat knob placed on the right hand
side at the back of the thermocooker to 0, in order to block the intake of comburent air completely.
3 Open the oven door in order to favour the elimination of the internal heat.
4 Open the flue gas register by pushing the knob placed on the right hand side of the frame; in this way, it will
deviate the residual heat still produced towards the chimney.

OPERATION IN TRANSITION PERIODS

WARNING: For no reason turn on the fire before the system has been completely filled with water; doing so
could cause serious damage to the entire structure. The system should be kept constantly full of water even
in periods in which the use of the wood burning stove/cooker is not required. During winter any non activity
should involve the addition of anti- freeze.
During transition periods when the external temperatures are higher, if there is a sudden increase of temperature it
can happen that the combustion gases inside the flue cannot be completely sucked up.
The exhaust gases do not come out completely (intense smell of gas). In this case, shake the grating more frequently
and increase the air for the combustion. Then, load a reduced quantity of fuel in order to permit a
rapid burning (growing up of the flames) and the stabilization of the draught.
Then, check that all openings for the cleaning and the connections to the stack are air-tight.

NORMAL COOKER USE.

WARNING: For no reason turn on the fire before the system has been completely filled with water; doing so
could cause serious damage to the entire structure.
If the thermocooker is only to be used for cooking foods, for example during the summer period, it is necessary to
raise the moveable grill to the highest level in order to exclude as much as possible the exchange surface capable of
passing heat to the water; the flue gas register (Picture 1 pos.D) must be completely positioned to the RIGHT in order
to favour the exhaust of hot flue gases after having heated the cast iron hotplate.
In order to prevent water boiling in the boiler, when the thermoheating stove is in function, the circulation pump must
be in function in order to dispose of the heat given to the boiler water on the radiators.
The system must be kept constantly full of water even in period when use of the thermoheating stove is not
requested. During the winter, inactivity must be faced with the addition of antifreeze.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Have a chimneysweep check the correct installation, connection to the chimney and aeration of thermocooker.
When cleaning enamelled parts, use soapy water or detergents which are not abrasive or chemically aggressive.
Should the chrome-plated components become bluish due to overheating, this can be resolved with a suitable
cleaning product.
IMPORTANT: only spare parts which have been expressly authorised and offered by La Nordica can be used. If parts
are required, please contact your specialised dealer.
