Normal Operation; Operation During Transition Periods; Maintenance And Care - Nordica SUPER MAX Instructions For Installation, Use And Maintenance Manual

SUPER MAX - SUPER JUNIOR
To light the fire, it is suggested using 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 just a little (you must open the eventual
butterfly valve placed on the pipe of smokes exhaust). When the wood starts burning, adjust the air for combustion
according to the instructions on paragraph 10.
Please overlook during this lighting phase.
Never overload the stove (compare the technical table - max. quantity of loadable fuel).
Too much fuel and too much air for the combustion may cause overheating and then damage the stove, as a
consequence some scratches in the lower front part of the stove could happen.
The warranty does not cover the damages due to overheating of the equipment.

10. 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 12 Pascal (=1.2
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).
The stove is an appliance with intermittent operation.
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).

11. 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.

12. 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!
