TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The continuous fire cookers of La Nordica are suitable to cook on the grill and on the oven and to heat living spaces
for some periods or to support an insufficient centralized heating system. They are ideal for holiday apartments and
weekend houses or as an auxiliary heating system during the whole year. As fuel, wood logs are used. The
continuous fire cooker is made of galvanized and enamelled steel sheets and enamelled cast iron (doors, front side,
plate ).
The hearth is totally sheathed with single cast iron sheets. Inside there is a flat grate. The cookers ROSA and
ROSETTA can be equipped with a height-adjustable grate. The upper position optimizes the PLATE function, the
lower one the OVEN use. The hearth is equipped with a panoramic door with ceramic glass (resistant up to 700 ° C).
This allows a wonderful view on the burning flames. Furthermore, it is thus avoided the output of sparks and smoke.
Below the oven door there is an extractable food warmer drawer, with the related closing door: never introduce
flammable objects or materials.
The heating of the environment is made by irradiation: through the panoramic glass and the external hot surfaces of
the stove, the heat is radiated into the environment.
2.1.
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL (movable valve)
With the primary air control (movable valve), which is found
below the hearth door it is adjusted the passage of air through
the ash drawer and the grate in the fuel direction (Picture 1
pos.A). The primary air is necessary for the combustion
process. The ash drawer must be regularly emptied, so that the
ash does not obstruct the primary air entry. Through the
primary air the fire is also kept alive.
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 chapter 10).
2.2.
SECONDARY AIR CONTROL
On the over part (Picture 1 pos. B) of the door there is the
secondary air control. Also this register must be opened (then
moved to the right), especially for wood combustion (see
chapter 10).
2.3.
SMOKES CONTROL (pull push lever)
(Conversion of the cooker function to the cooker, bake
oven and heating function Picture 1 pos. C).
The smokes control, in the style of a brass knob, can be found on the top right corner of the front side of the cooker,
between the protection bar and the oven door. This control has two settings:
HOB COOKING : when the bar is pushed to the back of the cooker, the combustion gases flow around the oven and
directly into the flue and up to the chimney. OVEN COOKING: when the control bar is pulled out, the combustion
gases flow around the oven, heating it.

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.
The small hole for the smoke connection pipe not in use must be covered with the related cap.
Before installation, verify if your floor can support the weight of the cooker (for ex. distributing weight plate).
