GIADA7196001 Rev.05 – EN 172. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIONThe chimney stoves of La NORDICA are suitable to heat living spaces for some periods. As fuel, it is possible to usewood logs.The chimney stove is made of painted steel sheets, enamelled cast iron and thermo radiant ceramics. The hearth istotally 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 viewon 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 thecombustion chamber. This process together with the exhaust gases flows, makes optimal the combustion andimproves the efficiency (see on page 48).Below the hearth grate there is an extractable ash drawer with relevantclosing door.The heating of the environment is made:a) by convection (about 70%): the passage of air through the double sheathof the stove releases heat in the environmentb) by radiation (about 30%): through the panoramic glass and the externalhot surfaces of the stove, the heat is radiated into theenvironment.The chimney stove is equipped with controls of primary (Picture 1 pos. A) andsecondary air (Picture 1 pos. B), by which it is adjusted the combustion air.PRIMARY AIR CONTROLThe primary air control is found below the hearth door, in the style of a pull-push lever (Picture 1, pos. A). By this control it is adjusted the passage of aircoming from the lower part of the stove and through particular channels flowsin 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 obstructthe primary air entry. During wood combustion, the primary air control mustbe opened only for a while, because otherwise the wood burns fast and the stove may overheat. The control is openwhen the bar is pulled out (see chapter 10)SECONDARY AIR CONTROLOver the hearth door there is the secondary air control (Picture 1 pos. B) in the style of a slider. Also this control mustbe opened (then moved to the right), especially for wood combustion, so that there is a post-combustion of un-burntcarbon. (see paragraph 10).3. RULES FOR INSTALLATIONThe stove, assembled and ready for the installation, must be connected with a junction to the existing flue of thehouse. The junction must be possibly short, straight, horizontal or positioned a little uphill. The connections must betight.It is obligatory to respect the National and European rules, local regulations concerning building matter andalso 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 towindows 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 theconnection must correspond at least to the diameter of the smokes pipe. The opening should be equipped with a wallconnection 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 spareparts.THE HEARTHS MUST NOT BE MODIFIED.Picture 1AB
