Important!
Before lighting up your Varde tove for the
first time we recommend that you read these
instructions carefully and contact your local stove
vendor or building authoorities to inquire about
existing regulations regarding the intallation of
stoves. Please follow these regulations closely.
Inspection of installation
It is very important that the installation is in-
spected by a qualified chimney sweeper before
the stove is used the first time.
Regulations
All local regulations as well as National and
European should be adhered to when instal-
ling your stove.
All Varde Ovne stoves are closed fireplaces.
The stove is designed for intermittent com-
bustion and can be connected to a chimney
used by other fireplaces as long as the app-
ropriate rules and regulations are adhered to.
This Varde tove
Has passed the
Danish /European Standard DS/EN 13240
Norwegian (NS) and the
German (Stufe 2) test and have thereby proved
to be a environmentally friendly product.
Proffesional installation
We recommend that you consult with the
dealer where you purchased the stove or an
other competent installer as there may be
specific things to consider during the installa-
tion. You should also reseive the applicable
rules for installing the stove and follow them.
Please Note!
You are by law required to register your stove at the local chimney-sweeper.
Until installation keep the stove dry and not to cold. The stove cannot stand moisture.That an
existing chimney not necessarily is effective enough for a new modern stove.Vermiculite is a
very porous material therefore handle with care. When refilling the stove put the wood careful-
ly use the glove.

Flooring:
If the floor on which the stove is to be placed is inflammable the floor must be covered with non
-flammable material such as steel or glass plate floor tiles or artifical slate covering an area of
at least 15 cm from the sides of the stove and at least 30 cm from the front of it. Regarding the
front however we recommend 50 cm. Also the Floor construction must be capable of carrying
the combined weight of stove and chimney.
Installation distance:
If walls are non-inflammable the stove can be placed closer to them. However we recommend
a minimum distance of 5-10 cm to allow for cleaning behind the stove. The cleanout gate 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 room where the stove is situated. (One in each side
of the room).
According to existing regulations stoves must be placed with the following minimum distances
in mm to inflammable walls and materials.
The safety distance from a non-insulated chimney pipe to inflammable walls and materials must
be at least 450mm.
The stove must in accordance with applicable
rules comply with the following minimum distan-
ces from inflammable walls and materials:
ides : 35 cm
Rear : 15 cm
Distance to furniture : 85 cm

Connection of Flue pipe:
The Stove is mounted with Flue adap-
tor on top or on the rear side.
When mounting on the rear side the
Flue adaptor and cover switch places.
The cast iron cover is placed in the
hole on in top of the cast iron top.
The chimney:
Always use a chimney with a diameter of at least 15 cm. This corresponds to a clear of 175
cm
2
. Make sure the chimney is of a sufficient height that it draws well and that smoke does not
bother your neighbours.
We recommend that you fit your chimney with a damper allowing for draft control. This may
prove particularly important on windy days.
Note: the damper must never shut off draught completely – always allow at least 20 cm² free
passage through the chimney.
With nominal usage the stove has tested a flue gas flow of 5 5 g/second and with a flue gas
temperature of 288°C and at a room temperature of 20 °C.
Varde stoves are always fitted with a smoke plate which redirects smoke to make its way to the
chimney as effectively as possible. This ensures that the heat from the smoke is emitted inside
your home rather than outside it. The smoke plate is moveable and placed in top of the Com-
bustion Chamber. You should make sure that it is pushed all the way back against the back wall
of the combustion chamber.
Draught conditions
Consult your local stove dealer about how best to adjust the draught in your chimney.
Hight of chimney
If in doubt contact your local stove dealer. He will be able to inform you of the correct hight.
Information about the new cast iron adapter, Part no.: 134
Your stove is equipped with the new cast iron adapter from Varde Ovne.
The adapter is suitable for smoke pipes with inner diameter on 150 mm.
If you need it it’s now possible for you to make a condensate drain-hole in the adapter.
Carefully punch a chisel or the like through the bottom of the outer groove (at the
arrow mark). This way you can establish a condensate drain hole in the adapter if
needed
Arrow mark for the hole. Now the condensate – hole is
ready.
Carefully punch a hole with a
chisel or the like.

Continual fresh air
A continual supply of fresh air is required in the
room in wich the stove is situated. This can be
achieved by installing 1-2 vents whilst also ensur-
ring that these can not be blocked. The quantity
of air used for burning
is approx. 20 m³ / h.
Overheating
Occors if too much wood is placed in the
stove or if the Fire receives too much air.
The hake grate
The Shake grate is situated
at the bottom of the fire-
chamber. By moving the
handle the ashes will be
shaken into the ashpan.
Running the stove after ignition
Move the handle towards the right to open for
more air.
Move the handle towards the left to close off
the air.
The Shake grate is operated
by moving the handle in and
out .

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 a
slightly burnt 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. We also recommend opening the door to the stove at regular
intervals during the first couple of hours to prevent the rope seal from sticking to the enamel.
Never use highly flammable liquids such as methylated spirit or petrol for lighting up!
We recommend using ‘top-down’ lighting where you light the wood at the top of the combustion
chamber and not at the bottom. This is the most environmentally friendly method to light a fire.
The method will also help keep the glass clean. Place two small logs in a cross on the bottom
plate of the combustion chamber (approx. 1.3 kg) with a small distance between each log. Place
10 – 15 smaller sticks (approx. 1.2 kg) in a cross on top of the logs and 2 – 3 firelighters at the
top and in between the sticks.
A thin layer of ash at the bottom of the stove makes it easier to light the fire.
When placing wood, to keep the stove burning use step 3 again.
Before lighting the stove (See page 9 for how)
Once the Fire burns remember to close the Door again. Otherwise the stove and chimney
might become overheated which would invalidate the warranty.
A slight amount of soot may build up on side glass during the start-up fire. This is normal and
vanishes after a period.
Once the kindling has reduced to embers we recommend opening the door slightly for a couple
of seconds to neutralise the negative pressure in the combustion chamber before opening the
door completely.
Place 2 logs in a cross on top of the embers (approx. 1.2 kg) and close the door again. To make
sure the wood ignites quickly we recommend briefly opening the ignition air vent and make
sure you remember to close it again once the fire gets going. You can then adjust the combus-
tion air according to your heating requirements.
Take care not to shut off the air supply completely otherwise the fire will die. The fire should
always burn bright and clear.
In most instances however you will have to identify the best combustion air settings your-
self as the height and draught of your chimney as well as the quality of the firewood are deci-
sive factors in determining the best settings for your particular stove.
If the nominal heat output of your stove is too high compared to your heating requirements you
can reduce the output as follows:
- Stoke a smaller amount of wood than usual for example 1 kg preferably consisting of 3 – 4
smaller pieces of wood. Apply full air to ignite the wood properly before reducing the combustion
air perhaps down to approx. 60%. Be careful not to reduce the air supply to the point that the
fire dies. The fire should always burn bright and clear.
With this method it is possible depending on the chimney wood quality etc. to reduce the
stove’s heat output from a nominal 5 kW down to perhaps 3 kW.
Please be aware that it can lead to poor combustion if you reduce the combustion air too much
resulting in a lower efficiency and increased emission levels (increased pollution).
When refilling the stove with wood we recommend opening the stove door once only embers
are left in the combustion chamber. Opening the door while flames are still burning and produc-
ing smoke and gas might cause smoke to escape into the room.
If you have problems lighting or operating the stove see the section on Troubleshooting.

Vermiculite
The plates in the combustion chamber are called vermiculite plates and will eventually
become worn as will the smoke guide plate. Accidental breakage of a plate for instance by
hitting it hard with a piece of wood will not affect the quality of the combustion. You do not
need to replace the plate until the gap is approx. 5 mm wide.
Vermiculite
A special non-flammable material that looks like chipboard. The plates act as insulation and at
the same time protect the stove against wear and tear. The vermiculite plates and the smoke
guide plate are not covered by the warranty.
Vermiculite is a very porous material and should be handled with care. When refilling the
stove stoke the wood carefully and use a glove.
Only use original parts from Varde Ovne A/
How too replace the Vermiculite
1. Lift the smoke deflector plate slightly tilt the rear end forward and remove.
2. Lift the left side plate slightly and rotate outwards.
3. Lift the right side plate and rotate outwards.
4. Lift the rear plate up and out of the stove.
When fitting the new vermiculite plates begin with the rear plate and repeat the steps in the
reverse order finishing with step 1

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 21 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.

Maintenance
Like 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 the
stove.
Clean the interior regularly by removing ashes soot and tar from the combustion chamber. The
smoke deflector plate should be removed for cleaning as the reverse side will be covered in dirt
and soot. Finally check that the smoke pathway through the flue pipe and chimney is completely
clear. You should also inspect the rope seals in the door and ash pan for signs of wear. Replace
them if they no longer seal properly. Also remember to lubricate the door hinges as required.
Glass pane
The glass pane should be cleaned using Varde Glas Cleaner which is available at all DIY centres
selling Varde Ovne stoves.
Empty the Ash pan regularly. It can be emptied into your dustbin as long as you make sure it
does not contain any hot embers. If in doubt about how to clean your stove contact the dealer
where you bought your stove or your chimney sweeper.
It is especially important to check the stove and the chimney for blockages after a long period of
non-use.
The enamelled surface of the stove may wear down in certain places if the stove is overheat-
ed. Worn surfaces can however be repaired with a special Senotherm
®
spray paint available
from your local dealer.
The plates in the combustion chamber are vermiculite plates and will eventually become
worn as will the smoke deflector plate. Accidental breakage of a plate for instance by hitting it
hard with a piece of wood will not affect the quality of the combustion. You do not need to re-
place the plate until the gap is 5 mm wide.
Only use original parts from Varde Ovne A/
The door is equipped with a spring which pulls the gate closed. This is a legal requirement in
many countries. The spring is fitted to the hinged side of the door but can be removed if you
prefer the door not to be spring-loaded.
Do not make any unauthorised changes to the stove.
All external parts of the stove become hot during use, and you should therefore exer-
cise due caution.
IMPORTANT!!
Chimney fires
Should your chimney catch fire cut off the air supply to the stove’s combustion chamber and
contact the emergency service. (The majority of fires die out after the oxygen supply is cut off.)
You should subsequently contact your chimney sweeper who will check your stove and chimney
for damage

Troubleshooting.
moke enters the room
• Not enough draught in the chimney.
• Inspect the flue pipe or the chimney for blockage.
• Make sure the height of the chimney is correct.
The glass or the chimney soots up
• The wood is too moist.
• Not enough secondary air is supplied to the combustion process.
• You may have shut off the supply of ignition air too soon when lighting the stove.
• There should be clear flames in the combustion chamber at all times.
No heat is emitted from the stove
• The wood is too moist (all energy is spent on drying it) or of a poor quality.
• Inspect the position of the smoke deflector plate and make sure there is free pas-
sage for the smoke.
• The amount of combustion (secondary) air is insufficient.
Combustion is too intense
• Rope seals in the door or the ash pan are no longer tight and need replacement.
• The chimney draught is too strong; install a damper in the chimney.
• Check that the ignition air is shut off.
The shaking grate is stuck
• Inspect the grate for jammed wood nails or the like.
• Make sure the lever is placed correctly.

Continual fresh air.
A contiual supply of fresh air is reguired in the room in witch the stove is situated. This can be
achived by installing 1 or 2 vents whilst also ensuring that these can not be blocked.
Combustion air supply (extra)
When a stove is installed in a room the requirements to air supply increase. The air can be sup-
plied through a vent in the outer wall or through a duct from the outside that is attached to the
connector underneath the stove. The quantity of air needed for combustion is approx. 20 m³/h.
The spigot has an outer diameter on 65 mm. With pipes longer than 1 m the pipediameter has
to be increased to 100 mm and equivalent larger wall vent is chosen.
Leave a 40 mm
gap between the
condensation insula-
tion and the bottom
of the stove.
Indirectly through the exterior wall Through the exterior wall
