TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
La Nordica thermocookers are ideal for holiday flats and weekend houses or as auxiliary heating all year round. Wooden logs are
used as fuel. The appliance works as an intermittent operating appliance.
The thermocooker is composed of galvanised steel sheet plates, enamelled cast iron and thermoradiant ceramic. The furnace is
found inside the boiler made with 4 mm thick steel and reinforced with welded nails. The water from the heating system, which
absorbs the heat produced in the furnace, circulates in the boiler. inside the furnace, there is a height-adjustable flat grill.
The furnace is equipped with a panoramic door with ceramic glass (resistant up to 700°c). This allows a fascinating view of the
burning flames. in addition, in this way there is no possibility of sparks or smoke escaping.
ACCESSORIES
TErMoSUPrEMa cPT - dSa
iTaLY TErMo - dSa
The heating of the room takes place:
a)
by means of radiation: through the panoramic glass and the hot external surfaces of the stove, heat is radiated into the
room.
b)
by conduction: through radiators or convectors in the central heating system fed by the hot water produced by the
Thermocooker itself.
The thermocooker is supplied with registers for primary and secondary air and a thermostat with which the combustion air is
regulated.
A - PRIMARY Air Control
With the lower control, the passage of primary air in the lower part of the cooker is regulated through the ash drawer and the grill
in the direction of the fuel. The primary air is necessary for the combustion process. The ash drawer must be emptied regularly, so
that the ash cannot block the primary air intake for combustion. The primary air also keeps the flame alive. The primary air control
must be max. ¼ open during the combustion.
B - SECONDARY Air Control
This knob must be open (i.e. turned completely to the right), in particular for the combustion of wood (see Table). The secondary
air, passing between the double glass of the fire door, heats up and triggers the dual combustion, keeping the glass clean at the
same time (control open).
C - AUTOMATIC Thermostat (Picture6)
The thermostat has the task of automatically increasing or decreasing combustion.
dependent on the position chosen, the thermostat will act on the valve which regulates the intake of air into the furnace, placed on
the back of the cooker. Turn it in a clockwise direction from 0 to 5 to make up the fire and in an anti-clockwise direction to reduce
combustion. as this is an extremely precise device, it is advisable to turn it carefully and never force the knob.
The control regulation necessary in order to obtain nominal calorific output is the following (see cap. TEcHNicaL daTa):

D - FLUE GAS Control
(Picture
(Conversion from the cooker HOTPLATE USE – OVEN USE function to the cooker HEATING function)
in the central part of the instrument panel, there is the flue gas control, which can be recognised from its enamelled, labelled knob.
When the control is positioned to the LEFT (on the pan symbol), the combustion gases flow above and around the oven (oven
function – HOTPLATE USE – OVEN USE); when positioned to the RIGHT (on the water symbol), the gases flow near the boiler,
increasing the temperature evenly, favouring water heating inside it (cooker function HEATING USE).
E - IGNITION Control
(Picture
on the front of the cooker, between the protective handrail and the flue gas control, there is the ignition control control lever, which
can be recognised by a chrome-plated knob.
This control must only be used to facilitate the ignition of fuel in the cooker. Pull the lever outwards from the cooker (control open).
IMPORTANT : during normal cooker operation, the control lever must remain completely inserted (pushed inwards on the cooker).
in this way avoiding excessive fuel consumption and poor thermocooker output (control closed).
To ignite the flame follow the instructions below (see cap. iGNiTioN) :
•
open the ignition control to aid flue gas exhaust. Position the control (any butterfly valve placed on the flue gas exhaust pipe must
also be opened).
•
Position the thermostat knob on position 5 (maximum opening).
•
open the primary air control (placed on the ash tray).
•
after having started the fire with small pieces of wood and waited until it is well lit, adjust the thermostat to the positions
corresponding to the desired heat (0÷5).
•
Bring the flue gas control to the oven position.
•
close the ignition control (and any butterfly valve placed on the flue gas exhaust pipe must also be opened).
The control regulation during the ignition phase is the following :
