Thermocooker – TERMOSUPREMA Compact DSA
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.
14.1.

NORMAL COOKER USE.

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.
If the thermocooker is only to be used for cooking foods, for example during the summer period, it is necessary to
raise the moveable grill to the highest level in order to exclude as much as possible the exchange surface capable of
passing heat to the water; the flue gas register (Picture 1 pos.D) must be completely positioned to the RIGHT in order
to favour the exhaust of hot flue gases after having heated the cast iron hotplate.
In order to prevent water boiling in the boiler, when the thermoheating stove is in function, the circulation pump must
be in function in order to dispose of the heat given to the boiler water on the radiators.
The system must be kept constantly full of water even in period when use of the thermoheating stove is not
requested. During the winter, inactivity must be faced with the addition of antifreeze.

15. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Have a chimneysweep check the correct installation, connection to the chimney and aeration of thermocooker.
When cleaning enamelled parts, use soapy water or detergents which are not abrasive or chemically aggressive.
Should the chrome-plated components become bluish due to overheating, this can be resolved with a suitable
cleaning product.
IMPORTANT: only spare parts which have been expressly authorised and offered by La Nordica can be used. If parts
are required, please contact your specialised dealer.
THE APPLIANCE CANNOT BE MODIFIED!
15.1.

FLUE CLEANING

The correct ignition procedure, the use of suitable quantities and types of fuel, the correct positioning of the secondary
air register, sufficient chimney draught and the presence of comburent air are essential for optimum appliance
operation. At least once a year, or whenever it becomes necessary (malfunctioning problems with insufficient output)
it is advisable to carry out complete cleaning. This operation, carried out exclusively when the cooker is cold,
should be carried out by a chimneysweep who can carry out an inspection at the same time.
During cleaning, it is necessary to remove the flue gas exhaust stub
pipe and the flue gas pipe.
The flue gas collection tank can be cleaned from the oven (after
having removed the two screws which secure the extractable oven
plate Picture 10), or from above.
For this purpose, remove the cooking plate rings and disassemble the
flue gas pipe from the exhaust stub pipe. Cleaning can be carried out
with the aid of a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Take care that, after cleaning, all the disassembled parts are
reinstalled in a hermetic way.
15.2.

GLASS CLEANING

Through a specific secondary air inlet, the formation of deposits of dirt, on the door glass, is effectively slowed down.
It cannot, though, ever be avoided with the use of solid fuels (e.g. damp wood) and this should not be considered a
defect of the appliance.
IMPORTANT: the cleaning of the panoramic glass must only be carried out when the thermocooker is cold, in
order to prevent it exploding. Do not use cloths or products which are abrasive or chemically
aggressive.
The correct lighting phase, the use of proper quantities and types of fuels, the correct position of the secondary air
regulator, enough draught of the chimney-flue and the presence of combustion air are the essential elements for the
optimal functioning of the appliance and for the cleaning of the glass.
