In exceptional cases the system might not register that the stove has been re-stoked. This can occur if
the oxygen level in the combustion compartment, due to the low flue gas temperature, reaches a point
where the system fails to register an increase in the oxygen level in spite of the stove door having been
opened. After stoking, the status line should therefore be checked on the remote control. Shortly after
the lighting of the wood, the middle section of the remote control, representing the combustion process
phase, should light up. (
) If it enters standby mode, press the remote control
twice, so the match symbol is displayed.
During combustion, the outer surfaces of the stove will become hot, and due care must
therefore be shown. Please note that the handle on the pull-out drawer also gets very warm.
Always remember to wear gloves when operating the drawer while the stove is in use.
Firing with coal, briquettes and coke
Burning coal and coke is not possible in this stove since there is no room for a coal insert. Briquettes can
be used however. These are placed onto the wood embers. Remember that after this the regulat-
ing rod must be closed again. Be aware that using fuels other than wood, will cause soot to
form on the glass pane.

Rapid or fierce heat
Rapid or fierce heat is obtained by burning many small pieces of wood.
Maximum amounts of fuel:
The maximum allowed amount of fuel per hour is:
Wood: 2.4 kg
If these limits are exceeded, the stove will no longer be covered by the factory guarantee, and it may also
become damaged due to excessive heat. The stove has been approved for intermittent use.
Typical re-firing interval
Typical re-firing interval at nominal performance
Wood: 65 min
Long burning times
You achieve the slowest combustion by setting the desired room temperature at level 0. At this level
the combustion takes place with the lowest possible flue gas temperature and the ember phase will be
drawn out as long as possible.
How to achieve the best combustion
The HWAM Autopilot IHS
is purposely designed to generate the cleanest and the most economical
TM
combustion. A good combustion is achieved when the fire gets the right amount of oxygen supply at the
right time and place in the combustion chamber. The HWAM Autopilot IHS
allows for variations in
TM
external circumstances. Nevertheless, it is important to use clean and dry wood (humidity approx. 16-20%).
Cleaning the glass
We recommend wiping the glass after a fire. This is best done using a paper towel.
Types of fuel
The stove may be damaged by very high temperatures and the glass may turn white, for example. This can
be avoided by never allowing the stove to burn with the ashpan open and taking great care with types
of fuel that develop excessive heat, such as briquettes. If the flue gas temperature exceeds 580
C, the
