The new stove
The first time you light up the stove the ena-
mel 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 exercise caution and avoid
touching the enamel. Likewise we recommend
opening the door to the stove at regular inter-
vals for the first hours to prevent the insulati-
ons rope from sticking to the enamel.
What kind of wood to use?
Generally, beech wood is considered the best
type of wood for burning. It burns evenly
without producing much smoke and ashes are
clean and take up little space. Ash, birch and
maple wood are fine alternatives.
How big the firewood?
Split firewood with a diameter larger than 10
cm. Use firewood with a length on 20-25 cm.
The use of larger quantities of fuel than recom-
mended in the tabel belove will overtax the
stove and resulte 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.
What to burn.
This Varde Stove is tested and approved for
the burning of wood. Only dry wood with a
moisture content of maximum 18 percent and
the size to fit into the combustion chamber
should be used. The burning of moist wood
will result in an increased amount of tarry
soot, pollution and uneconomic fuel consump-
tion. Newly chopped wood contains about 60-
70 percent moisture, which makes it comple-
tely unsuitable as fuel. Allow newly chooped
firewood to dry in a open shed for a couple of
years before using it in the stove.
Do not use! - Consider the environment
Also, never use toxic materials such as
chipboard, painted or impregnated wood.
The use of larger quantities of fuel than re-
commended in the tabel belove will overtax
the stove and resulte in increased temperatu-
res in the chimney as well as a lowered effici-
ency. This may cause damage to both chim-
ney and stove, and the annulment of the war-
ranty.
