Before installing your new stove, you must ensure that the
location complies with the applicable building code regulations.
See also operating instructions for information on minimum distance
for flammable materials. If the stove is to be installed up to a
brick wall
or other non-flammable mate-rial, there are no minimum distance
requirements. However, we would recommend at least 5-7cm at the
rear for cleaning access.
BEFORE INITIAL LIGHTING
Once your stove is in place and all instructions have been
observed, it is ready for lighting up. How-ever, please take
careful note of the following:
The rear section tiles should be removed before the initial
lighting up. A sudden temperature change could cause the tiles to
crack. The tiles are not covered by the warranty, so ensure that
they are at least at room temperature before lighting up.
The baffle plate and vermiculite panels may crack under hard
impact. These are not covered by the warranty, so avoid any heavy
blows when placing wood in the firebox.
Avoid touching the stove when initially lighting up, as the
paint is hardening at this stage. Touching the paint may cause the
steel to show through - if necessary, it can be retouched using the
spray can included in the Jydepejsen start pack (see below).
It is a good idea to ensure effective ventilation during the
first firing, as the stove will generate smoke and an odour of
paint. Do not stay close to the stove. The smoke and paint odour
will dissi-pate after about 1 hour's operation and is not injurious
to health.
For correct lighting/burning of your stove refer to the
operating instructions.
PRACTICE MAKES IT PERFECT
Optimum regulation of the air vent takes a little practice. Once
you have had a bit of practice with lighting the stove, you will
develop a natural routine. The stove will expand and contract
during the lighting and cooling phase, possibly resulting in
creak-ing noises. This phenomenon is completely normal for
sheet-iron stoves, and should not be regarded as a fault.
Please read the operating instructions for further
guidance.
