How to light and stoke a fire:
The first time you light up the stove the enamel will temper, and give off some smoke and a
slight smell. We recommend that you leave doors and windows open, as airing the room will
make the smell disappear. This tempering softens the enamel making it susceptible to damage.
Therefore exeercise caution and avoid touching the enamel. Likewise we recommend opening
the door to the stove at regular intervals for the first hours to prevent the insulations rope from
sticking to the enamel.
Never
use highly inflammable fluids such as methylated sprit and petrol for lighting up!
We recommend a ”Top-Down” lightning, where you light the wood in the upper area of the com-
bustions chamber and not in the ground. This method is the most environmental metod to light
a fire. The metod will keep the glass clean. In the combustion chamber you make a cross (
╬
) of
4 small pieces of wood with a small distance between each one of them. On top you of them you
make another cross (
╬
) of 8-12 smaller sticks (0,5-1 kg.), on top of this firewood and in bet-
ween use 2-3 kildning blocks. A thin layer of ashes at the bottom of the stove makes lighting up
a fire easier.
Before lighting up the stove, Ignition Air on the ash-pan for access of primary air . The Throttle
for the Combustion Air is drawn towards the right and hereby fully openes for combustion air.
When the fire burns remember to close the the Ignition air and shaking grate again when the
stove and chimney might become overheated and will invalidate the warranty.
Hereafter the combustion air are ajusted to the need of heat. Be aware not to close to much for
the air supply, otherwise the fire will die, the fire must alway be bright and clear.
In most instances, however, you will have to achieve the
best combustion air settings
your-
self, as the height and draught of your chimney, as well as the quality of the firewood are deci-
sive factors in determining how your particular stove is best set.
If the furnace nominal heat output is too large compared to the heat demand, you can reduce
the output as descriped here:
- Stoke a small amount of wood than usual, for example. 1.2 to 1.3 kg. and preferably consist-
end of 3-4 smaller pieces of wood. Apply full air to ignite the wood properly, then you can
reduce the combustion air, perhaps down to approx. 60%. Be aware not to close to much for the
air supply, otherwise the fire will die, the fire must alway be bright and clear.
With this method it, (depending on the chimney, wood quality, etc. is possible to reduce the
stove heat output from a nominal 5 kW down to maybe 3 to 3.5 kW.
Please be aware that it can lead to poor combustion, if you regulate too much down the com-
bustion air, resulting in a lower efficiency and increased emission levels in the smoke.
(increasing pollution).
Tertiary air
If you are wondering why your stove is fitted with an gap in the rear vermiculite plate in the
combustion chamber, with small holes through the back steel plate, where air is running through
into the combustion chamber. This is merely a consequence of our newly developed combustion
system. We refer to these air ducts as the ‘tertiary air’, and will prove helpful as you install your
new Varde stove.
When refilling the stove with wood, we recommend opening the stove door only once embers
are left in the combustion chamber. Opening the door whilst the flames are still burning and
producing smoke and gas, might cause smoke to slip into the room instead of up the chimney.
Should you have some issuses with the lightning or the function, see section on
troubleshoo-
ting.
