Majolicas; Summer Stop; Connecting A Chimney Or Open Furnace To The Flue - Nordica Ester Gebrauchshandbuch

Chimney stove ESTER
ATTENTION: The ashes removed from the hearth have to be stored in a container made of fire-resistant
material equipped with an air-tight cover.
The container has to be placed on a fire-resistant floor, far from flammable materials up to the switching off
and complete cooling.

13.5.MAJOLICAS

LA NORDICA has chosen majolica tiles, which are the result of high-quality artisan work. As they are
completely carried out by hand, the majolica may present crackles, speckles, and shadings. These
characteristics certify their precious origin.
Enamel and majolica, due to their different coefficient of dilatation, produce microcrackles, which show their
authentic feature.
For the cleaning of the majolica we suggest you to use a soft and dry cloth; if you use a detergent or liquid,
the latter might soak in and make the crackles more visible.

14. SUMMER STOP

After you have cleaned the hearth, the chimney and the flue, trying to eliminate completely the ash and
others residuals, close the doors of the hearth and its registers; in case you disconnect the appliance from
the chimney you must close its openings in order to let work others possible appliances connected to the
same flue.
The cleaning of the flue should be done at least once a year; in the meanwhile check the state of the
gaskets, which if not perfectly intact, that is to say that they are not more close-fitting with the stove, do not
guarantee the good working of the stove! In that case the gaskets must be replaced.
In presence of dampness in the room where the stove has been placed, we advise you to put absorbent
salts into the hearth.
If you want to keep for long the aesthetic look of the stove it is important to protect its internal walls in cast
iron with neutral Vaseline.

15. CONNECTING A CHIMNEY OR OPEN FURNACE TO THE FLUE

The smoke channel is the section of tube that connects the product to the flue, in the connection these
simple but very important principles must be followed:
•
for no reason must the smoke channel be used with a diameter lower than that of the neck of the
outlet with which the product is fitted;
•
each metre of horizontal route of the smoke channel causes a small leak of charge which should be
compensated for by raising the flue;
•
the horizontal section must never be higher than 2 m (UNI 10683-2005);
•
each bend of the smoke channel considerably reduces the draught of the flue which must be
compensated for by raising it suitably;
