2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

The chimney stoves of La Nordica are suitable to heat living spaces for some periods. As fuel, wood logs
are used.
The stove is made of sheets in galvanized and painted steel, of cast iron (grate and grate holder of the
hearth, exhaust pipe) of stone and majolica tiles. The hearth is totally sheathed with cast-iron single sheets
and refractory material (ironker)
combustion chamber is hermetic welded and is sheathed with a painted steel carter.
The inside smoke plate made of vermiculite, reflects the fire radiation and increases the internal
temperature of the combustion chamber. This process together with
the exhaust gases flows, makes optimal the combustion and
improves the efficiency. (see paragraph 18)
The hearth is equipped with a panoramic door with ceramic glass
(resistant up to 700 ° C). This allows a wonderful v iew on the burning
flames. Furthermore, it is thus avoided the output of sparks and
smoke.
Below the hearth door will be found an extractable ash-drawer with a
closing door.
The heating of the environment is made:
a) by radiation: through the panoramic glass and the external hot
surfaces of the stove, the heat is radiated into the environment.
The chimney stove is equipped with registers of primary (Picture 1
pos.A) and secondary air (Picture 1 pos.B), by which it is adjusted
the combustion air.
PRIMARY AIR REGISTER
With the air register placed below the hearth door (right Picture 1 A)
it is adjusted the passage of air through the ash drawer and the grate in the fuel direction. The primary air
is necessary for the combustion process and to keep the fire alive. The ash drawer must be regularly
emptied, so that the ash does not obstruct the primary air entry for the combustion.
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. (see paragraph 10).
SECONDARY AIR REGISTER (Picture 1 B)
Over the hearth door there is the secondary air register. Also this control must be opened (then moved to
the right), especially for wood combustion, so that unburnt carbon does not undergo a post-combustion .
(see paragraph 10).

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 fireproof 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.
