Cleaning Of The Glass; Cleaning Of The Ash Drawer; Majolicas; Summer Stop - LA NORDICA ELLIPSE Use And Maintenance

This operation should be carried out by a chimney sweeper who can simultaneously perform an audit of
the
flue (checking of possible deposits). During the cleaning, it is necessary to remove from the appliance the
ash drawer and the smokes pipes. It is possible to clean the space for the collection of smokes from the
hearth or through the smoke exhaust, by using a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Once the cleaning has been completed, the same has to be positioned back in its seat.

CLEANING OF THE GLASS

Thanks to a specific entry of the secondary air the building of deposit on the glass of the door is slowed
down in a remarkable way. However the building of this deposit cannot be avoided with the use of solid
fuels such as wet wood, and this is not to be considered as a defect of the appliance.
IMPORTANT: The cleaning of the sight glass must be carried out only and exclusively with cold
appliance to avoid the explosion of the same. Do not use cloths, abrasive or chemically
aggressive products by cleaning the hearth glass.
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.
BREAK OF GLASSES:
Considering that the glasses are manufactured in glass-ceramic and resistant to heat shock up to
750 °C, they are not subject to thermal shocks. Their break can be caused only by mechanic shocks
(bumps or violent closure of the door, etc.). Therefore, their replacement is not included in the
warranty.

CLEANING OF THE ASH DRAWER

All the appliances are equipped with a hearth grate and an ash drawer for the collection of the ashes
(Picture 10 pos. A)
It is suggested to empty periodically the ash drawer and to
avoid it fills completely in order not to overheat the grate.
Moreover, we recommend leaving always 3-4 cm of ash in
the hearth.
ATTENTION: The ashes removed from the hearth have to
be stored in a container made of fire-resistant material
equipped with an air-tight cover. The container has to
be placed on a fire-resistant floor, far from flammable materials up to the switching off and complete
cooling.

MAJOLICAS

LA NORDICA has chosen majolica tiles, which are the result of high-quality artisan work and therefore the
majolica may present crackles, speckles, and shadings. These characteristics certify their precious origin.
Enamel and majolica, due to their different coefficient of dilatation, produce microcrackles, which show their
authentic feature. For the cleaning of the majolica we suggest you use a soft and dry cloth; if you use a
detergent or liquid, the latter might soak in and highlight the crackles permanently.

13. SUMMER STOP

After cleaning the hearth, chimney and hood, totally eliminating the ash and other eventual residues, close
all the doors of the hearth and the relevant registers and disconnect the appliance from the chimney.
We suggest performing the cleaning operation of the flue at least once per year; verifying in the meantime
the actual status of the rope seals which cannot ensure the good operation of the equipment if they are not
in good condition and are not making a good seal! In this case the seals must be replaced.
In presence of dampness in the room where the stove has been placed, we advise you to put absorbent
salts into the hearth.
If you want to keep for long the aesthetic look of the stove it is important to protect its internal walls in row
cast iron with neutral Vaseline.
