4. Stoking instructions

It is very important to ensure that your chimney has a decent draught.TheAlpha and Omega is the cooperation between
the chimney and the stove.Your dealer or your chimney sweep will be able to guide and advice you on your chimney
conditions.
When this is settled, the next step is that you make the stove and the chimney cooperate. This is done by following
the operating instructions and using fuel which inflames easily in the combustion chamber, until a decent draught is
obtained. For further information on correct lighting and stoking, please refer to Jydepejsen´s Manual for installation
and stoking.
Please note that the stove paint will harden during the first few initial lightings. This means that the stove will generate
smoke and an odour of paint, which will dissipate after about 1 hours´s operation. It is a good idea to ensure effective
ventilation during this phase. Also, touching the stove should be avoided, since this may cause the paint to scale.
The stove will expand and contract during the lighting and cooling phase, possibly resulting in creaking noises. This
phenomenon is completely normal for sheet-iron stoves, and cannot be regarded as a fault.
All Jydepejsen wood-burning stoves are intermittent, which means that new wood should be added when there is a
layer of embers in the burning chamber.
Problems lighting the stove or with insufficient burning are normally due to wet wood or lack of draw in the chimney.
Check that the chimney is not blocked or partially blocked, and that the baffle plates are correctly positioned.
In the event of overheating or chimney fire, shut off the air supply completely and follow developments carefully.
Once there is a good bed of embers in the stove, you can add wood. It is important not to open the door while there are
flames in the stove, as this may cause smoke to flow out into the room. Add wood on the basis of your heating require-
ments. The amount of wood you need to add will depend on the season. However, never add more than 2 kg of wood
every 1.5–2 hours. Please remember that the exterior surfaces of the stove in particular will become very hot during firing.
Initial lighting
1. Turn the air wheel to the maximum
2. Add firelighters and billets to the bottom of the fire box (combustion chamber).
3. The billets (about 1,5 kg) are to be built up crosswise.
4. Light the fire.
5. The door should be ajar for a couple of minutes during the lighting phase.
6. The air wheel must be adjusted down after approx. 10 minutes; how much depends on the chimney draught -
however, the air supply must be diminished to the point where you obtain steady and calm flames.
