2. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The chimney stoves of La NORDICA are suitable to heat living spaces for some periods. As fuel, it is possible to use
wood logs.
The chimney stove is made of painted steel sheets, enamelled cast iron and thermo radiant ceramics. The hearth is
totally sheathed with single sheets in refractory.
Inside there are a height-adjustable thick flat grate and its holder, which can be easily extracted.
The hearth is endowed with a panorama door, whose ceramic glass, resistant up to 700 °C, allows a won derful view
on the burning flames. Furthermore, it is thus avoided the output of sparks and smoke.
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 on page 48).
Below the hearth grate there is an extractable ash drawer with relevant
closing door.
The heating of the environment is made:
a) by convection (about 70%): the passage of air through the double sheath
of the stove releases heat in the environment
b) by radiation (about 30%): 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 controls of primary (Picture 1 pos. A) and
secondary air (Picture 1 pos. B), by which it is adjusted the combustion air.
B
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL
The primary air control is found below the hearth door, in the style of a pullpush
lever (Picture 1, pos. A). By this control it is adjusted the passage of air
A
coming from the lower part of the stove and through particular channels flows
in the fuel direction. The primary air is necessary for the combustion process.
The ash drawer must be regularly emptied, so that the ash does not obstruct
Picture 1
the primary air entry. During wood combustion, the primary air control must
be opened only for a while, because otherwise the wood burns fast and the stove may overheat. The control is open
when the bar is pulled out (see chapter 10)
SECONDARY AIR CONTROL
Over the hearth door there is the secondary air control (Picture 1 pos. B) in the style of a slider. Also this control must
be opened (then moved to the right), especially for wood combustion, so that there is a post-combustion of un-burnt
carbon. (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 fireproofs 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.
