13. Maintenance of the stove
Gaskets and vermiculite panels need to be replaced. How often depends on how
much you use your stove. In some cases every year, others every second or third
year. Generally, the gaskets need replacing when it is flattened, and the door no
longer fits tightly against the front of the stove. A new set of gaskets with glue can be
purchased from your local dealer.
Vermiculite panels must be replaced when they are worn thin, or when cracks are so
wide that you can see the steel through them. If the panels are not replaced on such
occasions, they lose their power of insulation and heat reflection.
Movable and mechanical parts should be greased once a year with a heat-resisting
lubricant (closing mechanisms, hinges etc).
Door
Inspect the seals on the door and ashpan front, and replace if they will not close
tightly. If the glass pane is dirty, clean it gently with a warm wet cloth and a little mild
detergent, dipped in ash. Never use abrasive cleaners!
Check that the seam between glass panel and door is completely airtight. If neces-
sary, tighten any screws holding the inner frame in place - but not too hard, as it
could crack the glass. If the glass is still loose, replace the gasket.
Disposal of ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are
disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in
the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Vermiculite
The heat-reflecting and insulating panels in the firebox of all wood-burning stoves
from Jydepejsen are made of vermiculite. This material in its basic form consists of
laminated minerals, and is supplied by an ISO 9001 certified company. Vermiculite
poses no health hazards. It offers various benefits in terms of heat reflection, insu -
lation and utilization, thereby helping to provide Jydepejsen stoves with an even
higher combustion temperature, improved degassing of the wood and, consequently,
greater efficiency in the stove.
If the vermiculite panels are very worn (less than half thickness), new ones should
be ordered. Contact your dealer, who will be happy to assist you. You can check
page 20 to see how the panels are fitted in the stove.
Cleaning guide
A wood-burning stove should be thoroughly inspected and cleaned at least once
during the course of the heating season. Check the stove only when it is cold.
before sweeping of your stove, the baffle plates should be removed. This will allow
loose soot from the chimney to drop into the firebox. See pa ge 20 - instructions on
how to change the vermiculite panels.
The air control should be closed to prevent soot and ash spilling into the room. After
sweeping, clean any soot and ash from the vermiculite holders in the firebox. The
baffle plates can then be put back in place. If creosote has accumulated, it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
