Maintenance: 

As with anything else that you use on a daily basis, your stove must of course be maintained. 

You should only clean your stove when it is cold. Wipe the outside using a dry cloth, do not use 

water or cleaning detergents, it will wear out the heat resistant paint on the stove very fast. You 

should as well clean it regularly on the inside. The actual combustion chamber should be cleaned 

of ash and soot remnants. You should also remove the smoke guide plate, because dirt and soot 

will build up behind it, and check that there is free access through the flue and chimney. You 

should also check that the gaskets in the door and ash pan are not worn out. If the gaskets do 

not seal properly, they must be replaced. Remember to lubricate the door hinges and other 

moving parts as required. 

 

 

Glass 
We recommend the use of VARDE glass cleaner to clean the glass panels; this can be bought 

from our dealers. Be aware off! If you are using other brands of glass cleaning products then 

Varde’s, must it not contain potassium, this can give a milky white film on the glass there not 

can be removed. 

 

The ash pan must be emptied regularly, and the ash can be disposed of along with your      

domestic waste. But you must of course make sure that the ash does not contain any embers. If 

you are unsure about how to clean or maintain your wood-burning stove, contact the dealer who 

sold you the unit or contact your chimney inspector. 

 

In particular, following a long period of time where you have not used the stove, before using it 

again you must make sure that there is nothing blocking the flue or the chimney. 

 

Some  exposed  areas  of  the  stove

s  painted  surface  can  over  time  become  w orn  out      

e.g.  through cleaning or overheating of the wood-burning stove. However, this can be repaired 

using a special coating, Senotherm®, which comes in a spray can and can be purchased from 

your dealer. 

 

The panels in the combustion chamber are known as vermiculite panels and will become worn 

over time. If a piece of wood damages a vermiculite panel, it has no effect on combustion. You 

do not need to replace the panels unless the crack in the panel is more than about ½ cm wide. 

Only original spare parts from Varde Ovne A/S may be used. 
 

The door is fitted on a lock spring, which pulls the door in. This is a regulatory requirement in 

certain countries. The spring is attached to the hinge, and can be removed if you do not wish to 

have a spring-loaded door. 

 

No unauthorised alterations may be made to the wood-burning stove. 
 

All of the exterior parts of the wood-burning stove will become very hot during use. 

You should therefore exercise necessary caution. 

 

 

IMPORTANT!! 

Chimney fires 

If your chimney catches fire, you must follow this procedure: 

- Close all of the air supplies to the stove and telephone 112. 

(Most chimney fires will go out on their own once you have stopped any air from getting into the 

stove). 

As a minimum, you must contact your chimney inspector, who will then inspect the stove and 

chimney for damage.
