Operation of DuplicAir®
The combustion air wheel of the stove has a number of settings with the following functions:
1. When the handle is in position 1 (to the left), both the combustion and firing air intake are closed.
2. When the handle is in position 2, the combustion air is ½ open.
3. When the handle is in position 3, the combustion air is completely open.
4. When the handle is in position 4 (to the right), both the combustion and firing air intake are completely open.
This setting is only permitted for a short period of time, while the firing phase is in progress.
As soon as the wood burns well, set the handle in position 3 or lower (to the left), depending on the heat
requirements.
The handle can also be placed between the set points. Do not turn it so much down that the fire goes out. Ensure that
there are visible flames at all times.
Start phase
1. Place the air wheel in position 4.
2. Place kindling blocks and wood spills for lighting up in the bottom of the combustion chamber.
3. Place the wood spills, approx. 1.5 kg as a matchstick house.
4. Light the fire.
5. The stove door should be a bit open for a few minutes during the start phase.
6. As soon as the wood burns well, place the handle in position 3 or lower (to the left).
How much you turn it down, depends on both the chimney extraction, and the heat requirements. Turn the air wheel
down, once the flame burns steadily.
Adding more wood
When an adequate glow layer is visible inside the stove, you can add more wood. Make sure that the
door to the combustion chamber is closed, when adding wood – smoke may emerge.
1. Place the air wheel in position 4 (maximum air supply).
2. In order to minimise under pressure, leave the stove door open for about 1 minute, before opening it completely.
3. Slowly open the door.
4. Place one or two pieces of wood inside the combustion chamber (place the pieces in extension of each other for the
optimal result).
5. Close the door.
6. As soon as the wood burns well, place the handle in position 3 or lower.
7. Maintenance
Sealings and vermiculite plates are wear parts and need replacing when required. How often, depends on the use of the stove
— in some cases the parts need replacing every year, in other cases every 2nd or 3rd year. The sealing strips need replacing
when they are flat and the door doesn't close tightly to the front of the stove. A new sealing kit with glue can be ordered via the
stove retailer.
The vermiculite plates need replacing when the look worn or the scratches are so big that the combustion chamber steel
is visible. Please ensure that worn vermiculite plates are replaced in time, since they may lose their heat reflexibility and
insulation features.
Movable and mechanical parts must be lubricated at least once a year with a heat resistant lubricant (seals,
hinges etc.)
Replacement of sealing strip on the door
1. Remove the sealing strip on the inner frame of the door and clean the strip line (does not require
dismantling of the door).
2. Add a bit of heat resistant glue in the line, where the old strip was placed.
3. Press a new sealing strip into the line.
