Inadequate Draught In The Chimney; Accessories - ADURO 5-1 Mode D'emploi

4.1 Inadequate draught in the chimney

If the chimney is too short, leaks or is inadequately insulated, there may be problems with the chimney draught (let
the chimney sweep assess this). The draught should be approx. 0.10–0.14 mbar in order to provide satisfactory
combustion and prevent smoke leakage.
If the chimney sweep judges the draught to be satisfactory, but you still have problems lighting a fire, try extending
the fire lighting phase/using more thin pieces of kindling, so that the chimney gets thoroughly warm. The chimney
will not draw at optimum effect until it is warm. The fire lighting phase can be prolonged by using a lot of kindling
and 1-2 firelighters. When a layer of embers has been formed, add 2–3 dry logs.
5.0 Maintaining and cleaning your fireplace insert
Gaskets
With time, the gaskets will wear, and, in order to avoid wild combustion, they must be replaced as required.
Glass
If the wood you burn is too moist, you will get soot stains on the glass pane. They can be easily removed using a
damp cloth that you dip in cold ash and rub on the sooty glass. Special cleaning agents are also available to remove
soot from glass, i.e. the Aduro Easy Clean pad.
Combustion chamber
The yellow tiles in the combustion chamber eventually wear out and they should be replaced when the cracks are
more than 0.5 cm. The durability of the tiles will depend on how often and how intensively the fireplace insert is
used. You can change the tiles yourself. They are available as a ready-to-use set. You can also buy one-piece tiles
that you can cut to the size of the worn plates yourself. Please consult your dealer.
Ash
Empty the ash drawer before it becomes completely full. Always leave a layer of ash on the bottom of the fireplace
insert, as this insulates the combustion chamber and makes lighting a fire easier.
Cleaning the fireplace insert
The fireplace's surface is treated with a heat-resistant Senotherm® paint, which will stay at its best just by being
vacuumed with a small, soft mouthpiece or dusted with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, spirit or other solvents
which will remove the paint.
The inside of the fireplace insert and the flue pipe can be cleaned via the door and the cleaning aperture in the flue
pipe/chimney. The upper fireproof tile (the exhaust deflector) can be removed. To allow free access to the top of the
fireplace insert and the flue pipe, remove the exhaust deflector in steel (mounted with two screws). Cleaning of the
inside of the fireplace insert and the flue pipe should be undertaken at least once a year, or more frequently if
necessary, depending on how often the fireplace insert is used. This work can also be carried out by the chimney
sweep.
Repairing the surface
If the surface of your fireplace insert gets scratched or worn, it can easily be refaced/renewed using the original
Senotherm® paint in an aerosol can. It is available in black or grey from your local dealer.
Please note: All maintenance and cleaning of the fireplace insert should be carried out when it is cold.
Spare parts and unauthorized alterations
You may only use original spare parts in the fireplace insert. Consult your dealer for advice and when purchasing
spare parts. All forms of unauthorized alterations to the fireplace insert are strictly forbidden, as the fireplace insert
will no longer comply with the approved specifications.
