Ignition - LA NORDICA TermoSuprema Compact DSA Instructions For Installation, Use And Maintenance Manual

CAUTION: The continuous and prolonged used of wood which is particularly rich in aromatic oils (e.g.
Eucalyptus, Myrtle etc.) causes the sudden deterioration (flaking) of the cast iron components
present in the product.

9. IGNITION

WARNING: For no reason turn on the fire before the system has been completely filled with water; doing so
could cause serious damage to the entire structure.
IMPORTANT: during the first ignition, it is inevitable that an unpleasant smell is produced (due to the drying of the
adhesives in the sealing cord or the protective varnishes), which disappears after a short use. The
environment must nevertheless be well ventilated. On first ignition, we recommend loading a
reduced quantity of fuel and increasing the calorific power of the appliance.
To carry out a correct first ignition of the products treated with varnishes for high temperatures, it is necessary to know
the following information:
•
the construction materials of the products in question are not homogeneous; in fact cast iron and steel parts exist
side by side.
•
the temperature to which the body of the product is subjected is not homogeneous: from zone to zone, the
temperatures recorded vary from 300 ° C to 500 ° C;
•
during its life, the product is subjected to alternate cycles of ignition and switch-off during the same day and to
cycles of intense usage and complete rest as the seasons change;
•
the new thermocooker, before it can be defined as "tested", must be subjected to various start up cycles in order
to allow all the materials and the varnish to complete the various elastic stresses;
•
in particular at the beginning, it is possible to notice the emission of smells which are typical of metals subjected
to great thermal stress and varnish which is still fresh. This varnish, despite being baked at 250° C f or a few hours
in the manufacturing process, must exceed the temperature of 350° C several times and for a certain dur ation,
before incorporating itself perfectly with the metal surfaces
It therefore becomes important to follow these small precautions in the ignition phase:
1. Make sure that there is significant air turnover in the place where the appliance is installed.
2. When lighting for the first few times, do not load the combustion chamber excessively (about half of the quantity
shown in the instruction manual) and keep the product lit for at least 6-10 hours continuously, with the registers
open less than shown in the instruction manual.
3. Repeat this operation at least 4-5 times, according to your availability.
4. Subsequently load more (nevertheless following the descriptions in the instruction booklet regarding the
maximum load) and if possible, keep ignition periods long, at least in this initial phase, avoiding short on-off
cycles.
5. When lighting for the first few times, no object must be resting on the thermocooker and in particular on
enamelled surfaces. Enamelled surfaces must not be touched during heating.
6. Once the "testing" phase has passed, it is possible to use your product like you would a car engine, avoiding
abrupt heating with excessive loads.
