to bad combustion, high emissions and a bad efficiency. The air-wash system that minimizes soot collecting
on the glass panes is also adjusted by this damper.
If you want to fire the stove with the lowest effect possible – around 3 kW – you must close the secondary
damper almost completely 45 minutes after the wood has been put in. At this point there are only few flames
and the stove can burn clean by using the tertiary air from behind in the stove.
3.1.2 Primary damper
When you add a new log, the primary damper should be opened until the fire is burning properly. In order to
utilize the fuel to the fullest extent, the embers should have burnt for so long that it is necessary to open the
primary damper for approx. 2 minutes to get the new log to burn.
In order to reduce the risk of ash falling from the stove when the door is opened to add more fuel, it is a good
idea to open the primary damper for approx. 1 minute before the door is opened. This increases the draft
through the stove and reduces the risk that ash will drop on the floor.
If you overload the wood burning stove and burn more than approx. 3,1 kg
wood/hour, there is a risk that the lacquered surface of the stove will become
discoloured and eventually fall off. The stove can be resurfaced, but this is not
covered by the manufacturer's guarantee. In the same way, any other damage to
the stove caused by overloading will not be covered by the guarantee.
3.2 Aduro-tronic
The patent-applied control Aduro-tronic is a manually operated mechanical start-up
device, which works without the use of electricity and automatically regulates the
combustion. All you have to do is put dry wood in the stove and activate the control
system. Aduro-tronic does the rest, leaving you to enjoy the flames, the benefits of
efficient combustion, and a reduced firewood usage up to 40 %. For further

3.2.1 How to operate Aduro-tronic
When lighting
When lighting a fire in the stove for the first time, the maximum amount
of primary air will be needed to light the fire. For that reason, the
primary damper can be kept "forcibly open". This is done by pulling the
primary damper forward as far as possible and then fixing it with the
Aduro Key (see illustration). When the stove is warm and a layer of
embers has been created on the bottom of the combustion chamber,
the Aduro-tronic can be set to the automatic position, i.e. the Aduro Key
can be removed. Alternatively, you can leave the door ajar the first
minutes during lighting the fire (without the key).
When stoking
Each time fresh wood is put in the stove, a precise amount of primary
air will be allowed in for the first few minutes. What's more important is that the primary air is not allowed in
