La Nordica Italy Built-in [21/68] Low emission fire lighting

To light the re, it is suggested to use small wood pieces together with paper or other traded lighting means.

It is FORBIDDEN to use any liquid substance as for ex. alcohol, gasoline, oil and similar.

The openings for air (primary and secondary) must be opened together (you must open the eventual Ignition control, and buttery valve

placed on the pipe of smokes exhaust). When the wood starts burning, you may load other fuels and adjust the air for combustion

according to the instructions on paragraph TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION.

Please always be present during this phase.

Never overload the appliance (see the technical table - max quantity of fuel that can be loaded / hourly consumption). Too much fuel and

too much air for combustion can cause overheating and therefore damage the appliance. The warranty does not cover the damages

due to overheating of the equipment.

at the top, or vertically in the case of tall narrow combustion chambers. Place the re starter module on top of the pile, arranging the rst

logs in the module at right angles to the pile of wood.

Fire STARTER MODULE. This re starter module replaces a paper or cardboard starter.

Prepare four logs, 20 cm long with a cross section of 3 cm by 3 cm Picture 7 at page 62. Cross the four logs and place them on top of the

pile of wood at right angles, with the re lighter (wax impregnated wood bre for example) in the middle. The re can be lit with a match. If

you want, you can use thinner pieces of wood. In this case, you will need a larger quantity.

Keep the ue gas exhaust valve and combustion air regulator open.

After lighting the re, leave the combustion air regulator open in the position shown in according to the instructions on paragraph

10. NORMAL OPERATION

After having positioned the registers correctly, insert the indicated hourly wood load avoiding overloads that cause anomalous stresses and

deformations (according to the instructions on paragraph TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION). You should always use the product with the

door closed in order to avoid damages due to overheating (forge effect). The inobservance of this rule makes the warranty expire.

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 ue. 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.

With the controls positioned on the front of the appliance it is possible to adjust the heat emission of the hearth. They have to be opened

water) is the following one: see chapter TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION. The appliance works as an intermittent operating appliance.

Besides the adjustment of the air for the combustion, the intensity of the combustion and consequently the thermal performance of the

device is inuenced by the stack. A good draught of the stack requires a stricter adjustment of air for combustion, while a poor draught

requires a more precise adjustment of air for combustion.

To verify the good combustion, check whether the smoke coming out from the stack is transparent.

If it is white, it means that the device is not properly adjusted or the wood is too wet; if instead the smoke is gray or black, it signals that the

combustion is not complete (it is necessary a greater quantity of secondary air).

WARNING: When fuel is added onto the embers in the absence of a ame, a considerable amount of fumes may develop. Should this

happen, an explosive mixture of gas and air may form, and in extreme cases an explosion may occur. For safety reasons it is advisable

to perform a new lighting procedure with the use of small strips.
