Jydepejsen Athene, Installation And User Manual

Page: 11 / 28

It is very important to ensure that
your chimney has a good draft.
Your dealer or your chimney
sweep will be able to guide and
advise you on your chimney con-
ditions.
Follow the operating instructions
and use seasoned wood, which
burns easier and cleaner in the
combustion chamber, until a
proper draft is obtained. For further
information on using wood and lighting
and managing the fire, please refer to sec -
tions 5 - 10.
Please note that the stove paint will harden during
the first few initial fires. This means that the stove will generate smoke and an odor
of paint, which will dissipate after about an hour of operation. It is a good idea to
ensure effective ventilation during this phase. If ventilation is not adequate, smoke
alarms may be activated. Also, avoid touching the stove during the curing process.
The stove will expand and contract during the lighting and cooling phase, possibly
resulting in creaking noises. This phenomenon is completely normal for steel stoves.
Unlike radiant heat, which is highly concentrated
around the stove, convection heat flows upwards
and spreads to neighboring rooms.
Before installation, it is also important to check that the Vermiculite panels are cor-
rectly fitted in the combustion chamber.
The wood holder in the combustion chamber is not to be removed.
On some baffle plates you will find a metal band. This band is mounted for transport
protection only, and should be removed.
5. Heat generation and distribution
All Jydepejsen wood-burning stoves are two stoves in one. Inside is the actual
stove, produced from strong steel plates, and on the outside a covering of steel,
ceramic tiles or soapstone. There are two major types of heat: radiant heat and con-
vection heat. In the airspace between the actual stove and the covering, convection
heat is generated. The air is drawn in at the bottom of the firebox. The heated air
then flows upwards and begins to circulate throughout the room, subsequently dis -
persing into the neighboring rooms, providing perfect heat distribution. So the ques-
tion of where to position your stove is an important one. The ideal location is fairly
central, in the room where you require most heat.
