Installing the stove:According to existing regulations, stoves must be placed with the following minimum dis-tances (in centimetres) to inflammable walls and materials:Sides: 25 cm Rear: 10 cm Distance to furniture in front of stove: 80 cmIf walls are non-inflammable, the stove can be placed closer to them. However, we recom-mend a minimum distance of 5-10 cm. to allow for cleaning behind the stove. The cleanoutgate must be accessible.Optimal combustion can only be obtained if fresh air is constantly admitted. It is important,therefore, to ensure that this is the case.The best way to provide a steady flow of fresh air is by installing 1-2 air vent's) in the roomwhere the stove is situated. (one in each side of the room).Flooring:If the floor on which the stove is to be placed is inflammable, the floor must be covered withnon-inflammable material, such as a steel or glass plate, floor tiles or artificial slate, cover-ing an area of at least 15 cm. from the sides of the stove and at least 30 cm. from the frontof it. With regard to the front, however, we recommend 50 cm.Also, the bearing construction must be capable of carrying the combined weight of stoveand chimney.Find the weight of the stoves on page 4.The chimney:Always use a chimney with a diameter of at least 15 cm. This corresponds to a clear of 175square centimetres. Make sure the chimney is of a sufficient height, that it draws well andthat smoke does not bother your neighbours.We recommend that you fit your chimney with a damper, allowing for draft control. This mayprove particularly important on windy days.Note: the damper must never shut off draught completely – always allow at least 20 squarecm free passage through the chimney.With nominal usage the stove has tested a Smoke flow of 4,8 g/second and with a smoketemperature of 304° C in a room of 20° C.Varde stoves are always fitted with a smoke plate which redirects smoke to make its way tothe chimney as effectively as possible. This ensures that the heat from the smoke is emittedinside your home rather than outside it. The smoke plate is moveable and placed on top ofthe Vermiculite fire brick side plate. You should make sure that it is pushed all the way backagainst the back wall of the combustion chamber.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 aslight smell. We recommend that you leave doors and windows open, as airing the room willmake the smell disappear. This tempering softens the enamel making it susceptible todamage. Therefore exercise caution and avoid touching the enamel. Likewise we recom-mend opening the door to the stove at regular intervals for the first hours to prevent theinsulation rope from sticking to the enamel.Never use highly inflammable fluids such as spirit and petrol for lighting up! Instead, use acrumpled up piece of newspaper or kindling blocks topped by 10-15 small sticks (c. 2 kg.).A thin layer of ashes at the bottom of the stove makes lighting up a fire easier.Before lighting up the stove, open the shaking grate by pulling the lever all the way out.Then open the valve on the ash-pan for access of ignition air and open the valve on top onthe Stove for combustion air (alternatively, shortly leave the ash-pan a little open if there isno wind and no draught in the chimney), thus allowing the fire to catch on. Always remem-ber to close the ash-pan again, otherwise the stove can be overheated, and this is notcovered by the warranty.When the fire burns steady, then remember to close the ignition air valve on the ash-lidagain, (the handle is in vertical position). When the stove is burning nominal, there may notbe added air through this valve, it may cause overheating of the stove, and this is not cov-ered by the warranty.RegulationsAll local regulations as well asNational and European, should beadhered to when installing yourstove.All Varde Ovne stoves are closedfireplaces.Draught conditionsConsult your local stove dealer abouthow best to adjust the draught in yourchimney.Chimney FiresShould your chimney catch fire, cutoff the air supply to the stove'scombustion chamber and contactthe emergency services. (The ma-jority of fires die out after the oxygensupply is cut off). Following this, theleast you should do is to contactyour chimney sweeper, who willcheck your stove and chimney fordamage.Continual fresh airA continual supply of fresh air isrequired in the room in witch thestove is situated.This can be achieved by installing 1-2 vents, whilst also ensuring thatthese can not be blocked.The shaking grateThe shaking grate is situated at thebottom of the combustion chamber.The ashes will be shaken into the ash-pan by the pulling and pushing of thelever.Combustion / Secondary airPre-heated air for the combus-tion process, the amount ofwhich can be altered accordingto the desired room tempera-ture, and the effectiveness ofthe chimney. A high level ofchimney draught requires alesser intake of combustion air.VARDE OVNE A/SIs a Danish company specialis-ing in functional, environmen-tally friendly and designedquality stoves.As well as having passed theDanish (DS/EN 13240),Swedish (SP), Norwegian(Sintef) and German (DINplus)Kite marks, the stove is alsoawarded the coveted Svane-maerke for environmentally-friendly products.(CO value lower than 0,12 %and a smoke temperature ofless than 305 °C).Tertiary airis constantly added air, whichmakes the stove burn evencleaner, and lowers the contentof tar and soot in the combus-tion process to an absoluteminimum.At optimal combustion settings,glass and combustion chamberwill be burnt completely clean,and the remaining amount ofashes will be minimal.What kind of wood to use?Generally, beech wood is con-sidered the best type of woodfor burning. It burns evenlywithout producing much smokeand the ashes are clean andtake up little space. Ash, birchand maple wood are fine alter-natives.OverheatingOccurs if too much wood isplaced in the stove or if thecombustion receives too muchair.Vermiculite fire bricksA special non-inflammablematerial. The vermiculite firebricks both isolate and protectthe stove from attrition. Vermicu-lite fire bricks and smoke plateare not covered by the warranty.Vermiculite is a very porousmaterial, therefore handle withcare. When refilling the stove,put in the wood carefully, usethe glove.In most instances, however, you will have to arrive at the best combustion air settings your-self, as the height and diameter of your chimney, as well as the quality of the firewood aredecisive factors in determining how your particular stove is best set (see also the section ontroubleshooting on next side).If you are wondering why your stove is fitted with an gap in the rear vermiculite plate in thecombustion chamber, with small holes through the back steel plate, where air is runningthrough into the combustion chamber. This is merely a consequence of our newly developedcombustion system. We refer to these air ducts as the ‘tertiary air’, and will prove helpful asyou install your new Varde stove.When refilling the stove with wood, we recommend opening the stove door only once embersare left in the combustion chamber. Opening the door whilst the flames are still burning andproducing smoke and gas, might cause smoke to slip into the room instead of up the chimney.What to burnThis Varde stove is tested and approved for the burning of wood. Only dry wood with a mois-ture content of maximum 21 percent and the size to fit into the combustion chamber should beused. The burning of moist wood will result in an increased amount of tarry soot, pollution anduneconomic fuel consumption. Newly chopped wood contains about 60-70 percent moisture,which makes it completely unsuitable as fuel. Allow newly chopped firewood to dry in an openshed for a couple of years before using it in the stove. Split firewood with a diameter largerthan 10 cm. Use firewood with a length on 20-25 cm.The use of larger quantities of fuel than recommended in the table page 2 will overtax thestove and result in increased temperatures in the chimney as well as a lowered efficiency.This may cause damage to both chimney and stove, and the annulment of the warranty.Also, never use toxic materials such as chipboard, painted or impregnated wood.Maintenance and cleaningAs any piece of equipment in daily use, your stove needs maintenance.The stove should only be cleaned when cold. Use a dry cloth for cleaning the exterior of thestove.Clean the interior regularly by removing ashes, soot and tar from the combustion chamber.The smoke plate should be removed for cleaning as the reverse side will be covered in dirt andsoot. Finally check that the smoke's pathway through the smoke pipe and chimney is com-pletely clear. You should also inspect the gaskets in the door and the ash-pan for signs ofwear. Replace them if permeable. Also, remember to oil the hinges of the door as required.Empty the ash-pan regularly. It can be emptied into your dustbin, as long as you make sure itcontains no hot embers.When in doubt as how to clean your stove, contact the dealer from whom you bought yourstove, or your chimney sweeper. It is especially important to check the stove and its chimneyfor blockages after a long period of non-use.The enamelled surface of the stove may wear down at certain places if the stove isoverheated.Worn surfaces, however, can be repaired with a special Senotherm® spray paint, availableat your local vendor.The plates in the combustion chamber are Vermiculite plates and will eventually be worn,– as will the smoke plate. Should you accidentally break a plate, for instance by hitting it hardwith a piece of wood, this does not effect the quality of the combustion. You need not replacethe plate until the gap is 5 mm. wide.The door is constructed with a spring which automatically swings the door shut.This may be a function required by existing regulations.The spring is placed behind the left steel-sideplate, and can be removed, if you do not wantthis option.Only use original spare parts from Varde Ovne.Do not make any unauthorised changes.All external parts of the stove become hot during use, too. Therefore exercisenecessary caution when the stove is in use.Ignition air valveThe valve on the ash-pan is con-structed as a ignition air valve, andmay only be used when lighting upthe stove. When the stove is burningthe valve has to be closed again.- The valve is closed (burning posi-tion) when the handle on the valve isstanding in vertical position.- The valve is opened (ignitionposition), when the handle is inhorizontal position and the hole inthe valve is in the topside.Remember to turn the valve back toburning position when the fire burnssteady.The following optimal register and fuel quantity settings are recommended (in case of similar chimney draught):FuelQuantity[kg]Primary-Air open[%]CombustionAir open[%]NominalOutput[kW]ChimneyDraught[PA]Efficiency[≥i %]Refill interval at nominaloutput[minutes]1,8 0(closed)75(almost open)4,9 12 77 c. 602 3FOR-176 GB 1.edition 18.06.2009”So when you light up yourstove, consider the envi-ronment.
