Ash
All wood-burning stoves from Jydepejsen have a large ashpan. Empty it before it fills
completely, and do not allow the ash to collect in a cone under the shaker grate. Ash is an
excellent insulator, and so the temperature of the grate can get very hot, and the grate could
be damaged.
External maintenance
Maintenance of Jydepejsen wood-burning stoves is pretty much the same as for the rest
of your furniture: use a cloth and mild soapy water without solvents. After cleaning, wipe
the stove with a dry cloth. The stove can be carefully repainted, as necessary, using
Senotherm 12-1644 aerosol paint in either black or grey, as appropriate for your
particular stove. This paint can be purchased from your stove dealer.
Ceramic tiles and soapstone
The finished ceramic tile
Dimensional accuracy and colorfastness are trade requirements and demonstrate the quality
level of the tile manufacturer. With natural raw materials, variations and shading may occur or
small fine glazing cracks and clouding may form. Modern technology ensures that such
reactions in the surface structure do not affect the quality of the finished tile. These textures in
the surface are therefore not flaws, but rather a mark of the craftsman’s individuality.
If you discover any visible cracks in your ceramic tiles on unpacking, please contact your
dealer immediately.
Cleaning ceramic tiles
Ceramic from Jydepejsen is simple to maintain. Wiping the tiles with a damp cloth is
generally adequate. For more stubborn marks, use a little mild soapy water. Like other
natural products, ceramic tiles cannot tolerate strong acids or leaching solutions. So,
avoid strong detergents. With correct and careful maintenance your ceramic tiles will
radiate heat and character for many years to come.
Production of soapstone
Manufacturing the large soapstone blocks is a very expensive process. The preparation
involves rough and fine cutting, shaping and beveling, regular quality control, final inspection
of each soapstone tile and selection of sets of soapstone tiles. Dimensional accuracy is
required, but soapstone is a natural product, and shading will certainly occur. This is a mark
of nature's own unique design.
If you discover any visible cracks in your soapstone tiles on unpacking, please contact your
dealer immediately.
Cleaning soapstone
Soapstone is very simple to clean. Wiping the soapstone with a damp well-squeezed cloth
soaked in lukewarm water is generally sufficient. Avoid all types of detergent. Any minor
scratches can be carefully removed using very fine sandpaper. Should any of your soapstone
tiles need repairing, please contact your dealer.
If soapstone is heated to more than 932° F (500° C), brownish blotches will appear on it.
Should this occur, it is a question of the soapstone having been overheated, which is not
covered by the warranty. With correct maintenance the soapstone cladding on your stove will
retain its beautiful and individual character for many years to come.
