HOW TO USE THE RANGE
CORRECTLY
First ring
A new JD 27/JD 227 should be red carefully the rst
few mes. Then the heat-resistant paint will last longer.
There may also be a slightly unpleasant smell the rst
me you light the stove. This is enrely normal and
comes from the lm of oil or surplus paint le on the
cast iron. The smell will disappear quite quickly and will
not come back.
Fuel
The best caloric value can be obtained from split birch
wood. Hardwood generally burns more slowly than
sowood, giving a more even heat. If you burn oak,
beech or other types of wood with a high caloric value,
MAINTENANCE
Take good care of your stove and apply stove black when
necessary.
The grate should be regularly shaken and cleared of ash.
Empty the ash pan as soon as it is full.
Aer a me, a coang of soot may have formed on the
glass. It is easy to keep the glass clean with the ‘Sotrent’
sponge.
Keep the rebox and the ue clean. If you use the stove
a lot, you should brush the chimney a few mes between
visits from the sweep.

Cleaning of JD 27/JD 227
The stove is most easily cleaned/soaked by liing the
steel/ceramic hob. From there you will clean the enre
replace and the oven ceeling.
The supplied tool for sweeping is used to access the
right side of the oven and the inside on the right outer
side. Through the soot lid located in the oven boom,
you will reach the underside of the oven and into the
smoke duct (applicable at back connecon).
When there is a top connecon, the chimney soot will
fall and land in the back under the oven. This soot is
also accessed through the soot lid located in the oven
boom.
you should always mix them with other types. Otherwise
you could risk damaging your rebox. The wood must be
dry, ideally with 15–20% moisture content. With normal
ring, around 1–1.5 kg wood/hour should be sucient.
1 kg of birch wood produces about 4 kW of output.
Lighng
Open the supply air valve fully. The throle valve on top
of the stove should also be opened to begin with. Place
relighter briquees in the middle of the rebox. Stack
around 1.5 kg of kindling crosswise, like a log house, on
top of the relighters. Start by lighng the briquees.
These will in turn ignite the wood. Leave the re door
ajar for the rst few minutes unl the wood has caught
re properly. Depending on the draught from the
chimney, you may need to keep the door open slightly
longer to build up heat in the rebox and produce a
sasfactory draught. Then close the door and adjust the
throle valve according to the intensity of re you want.
The stove should be heated through before you start to
throle the supply air valve.
NOTE! If the ames seem to stop too much when
closing the re door completely, you can help with a
bit of primary air. This damper is located at the boom
of the replace door. Once the stove has reached
temperature and a sasfactory chimney dra has been
reached, the primary air damper can be closed for a
cleaner combuson.
Adding wood
When the intensity of the re has decreased, it is me to
add more wood. Open the door carefully. This will pre-
vent smoke inhalaon. Use a poker or a piece of wood to
spread ash and embers. Add 2–4 logs and only close the
door when the wood has caught re (1–1.5 kg of wood). .
Connuous ring
To re properly, you should try to achieve the highest
possible temperature in the rebox. Then the wood will
burn cleanly and you will get the maximum benet from
the stove and the wood. Clean combuson will prevent
soot building up in the rebox and on the glass. If you re
correctly, you should not see any smoke.
