Chimney stove MAJOR / MINOR – MAX / JUNIOR

NORMAL OPERATION

For safety reasons the door of the appliances with constructive system 1, must be opened only for the
loading of the fuel or for removing the ashes, while during the operation and the rest, the door of the hearth
must remain closed.
The appliances with constructive system 2 must be connected to their own flue. The operating with open
door is allowed under supervision.
IMPORTANT: For safety reasons the door of the hearth can be opened only for the loading of the fuel. The
hearth door must always remain closed during operation or rest.
The nominal power of the appliance will be reached with a minimum depression in the chimney of 11
Pascal (=1.1 mm of water column).
With the registers located on the front of the appliance it is possible to adjust the heat emission of the
same. They have to be opened according to the calorific need. The best combustion (with minimum
emissions) is reached when, by loading the wood, most part of the air for combustion flows through the
secondary air register.
Never overload the appliance (see the hourly wood load in the table here below). Too much fuel and
too much air for the combustion may cause overheating and then damage the stove.
The warranty does not cover the damages due to overheating of the equipment.
You should always use the stove with the door closed in order to avoid damages due to overheating
(forge effect).

Besides by the adjustment of air for the combustion, the intensity of combustion and then the calorific value
of your stove is affected by the chimney. A good flue of the chimney requires a more reduced adjustment of
air for the combustion, while a poor flue needs more an exact adjustment of air for combustion.
To verify the good combustion of the stove, check if the smoke coming out from the chimney is transparent.
If it is white, it means that the stove is not correctly adjusted or the wood is too wet; if on the contrary the
smoke is grey or black, it means that the combustion is not complete (it is necessary a greater quantity of
secondary air).

OPERATION DURING TRANSITION PERIODS

During transition periods when the external temperatures are higher, if there is a sudden increase of
temperature it can happen that the combustion gases inside the flue cannot be completely sucked up.
The exhaust gases do not come out completely (intense smell of gas). In this case, shake the grating more
frequently and increase the air for the combustion. Then, load a reduced quantity of fuel in order to permit a
rapid burning (growing up of the flames) and the stabilization of the draught.
Then, check that all openings for the cleaning and the connections to the stack are air-tight.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Let check the installation of your stove, the connection to chimney and the ventilation by your chimney
sweeper. For the cleaning of enamelled surfaces use soap water or not aggressive and not chemically
abrasive detergents.
IMPORTANT: It is possible to use exclusively spare parts clearly authorized and offered by LA
NORDICA. In case of need please apply to your dealer!
THE APPLIANCE CAN NOT BE MODIFIED!
