Start-Up Stage; Maintenance - Jydepejsen nord 1 Anleitung

Kindling and combustion problems often result from wet wood or up-draft failure in the chimney. In such cases, you should
check if the passage through the flue is partially or fully blocked and if the baffle plates are positioned correctly. In case of
superheating or chimney fire, shut off the air supply and monitor the status closely. Never use water to put out a chimney
fire as this instantly produces steam (the water evaporation ratio is 1:1700) which could seriously damage the chimney due
to the rapid pressure increase.
It is important that you know that the paint will harden the first few times you use your stove. This means that your stove will
produce smoke and smell which will disappear after approx. 1 hour. Airing is recommended at this stage. Furthermore, you
should not touch the stove until the paint has hardened as it might peel off.
Sheet iron wood-burning stoves may produce a crackling sound during the kindling and cooling stages. This is normal for
sheet iron stoves and is not a defect.
Note! The stove and the chimney react differently in cold, respectively, warm weather and on windy, respectively, quiet
days. Hence, you should adjust the air flow.

Start-up stage

1. Pull the damper completely in order to get maximum airflow (the damper is located in the middle of the door).
2. Place firelighters and kindling on the bottom of the fire chamber.
3. Place approx. 1.2kg kindling in the shape of a matchstick house.
4. Light the fire.
5. The door to the fire chamber should be left open for the first few minutes.
6. As soon as the firewood starts burning well, push the damper. How much you should push depends on both the
chimney draught and the heat requirement. Close the door.
Stoking
This wood-burning stove is intermittent, meaning that fresh wood is required for stoking once an adequate layer of embers
has been achieved on the fire chamber floor. The heat requirement determines the amount of stoking, and the level of
stoking depends of the season. In order to ensure optional combustion, use 2 pcs. 0,6 kg. logs, approx.30 cm in length
which are placed side by side on top of the embers from the kindling process. This will give you a combustion time of
approx. 45 minutes.
It is important to keep the door closed when flames are visible in the fire chamber to avoid smoke nuisances in the
room.
1. Pull the damper completely in order to get maximum airflow (the damper is located in the middle of the door).
2. To minimize the negative pressure, the door to the fire chamber should be ajar for about 1 minute before it is fully
opened.
3. Open the door slowly.
4. Place 2 pcs. 0,6 kg. logs (30 cm in length) next to each other on top of the embers.
5. Close the door again.
6. As soon as the firewood starts burning well, push the damper. How much you should push depends on both the
chimney draught and the heat requirement.
Emptying the ash pan
Open the door and remove the ash pan from a cold stove. Use a closed steel container to store the ash and/or transport it
and discard it in a secure manner.
Note: embers may be hidden in the ash for several days.

5. Maintenance

Sealing bands and vermiculite plates are wearing parts and should be replaced as needed. How often depends of the use
of the stove - some stove owners have to change the parts every year whereas others replace them every two or three
years. Sealing bands should be replaced when flat and the front door is no longer tight. New sealing bands with glue may
be ordered from your wood-burning stove dealer.
