for too long. This is to ensure optimum combustion. The Aduro-tronic control will ensure intake of primary air
at the right tempo. The automatic is activated by pulling the primary damper out each time fresh wood is put
in the stove. The automatic closes then the primary air gradually.
Regulation of the Aduro-tronic control
The control is pre-set to close the primary air intake within 6 minutes. This setting has been used during
testing at the Danish Technological Institute using a standard chimney and 'standard' sized logs (approx. 30
cm long, 10x10 cm thick) with maximum moisture content of 18%. In practice, such circumstances can differ,
which is why the Aduro-tronic control can be adjusted to your circumstances. If you want a slower intake of
primary air (e.g. for a slower flue draft, larger sized wood or for longer intervals between stoking), adjust the
screw on the front of the control level using a small allen key to slow closure rate. If the screw is turned to the
right, closing time is increased and if turned to the left, closing time is reduced.
3.3 How should I use my wood burning stove?
The wood burning stove is intended for intermittent combustion. This means that each stoking should burn
down to embers before new logs are added. Please respect the max load line when adding wood logs.
To obtain the best possible combustion, you should regulate the effect/heat output with the fuel. Burning
small logs provides more powerful combustion than burning large logs as the surface area is greater and
more gas is released. The amount of wood in the combustion chamber is another factor that affects
combustion. In normal circumstances, you should not place more than two logs in the stove. If you want an
enhanced effect, you can add more logs. The ideal heat output is reached by burning approx. 1,5 kg per
hour.
If you experience problems lighting the fire or the fire dies after a short time, it can be due to the following
reasons:
•
The firewood is not dry enough. The firewood should have a moisture content of max. 18%.
•
There is a negative pressure in the house.
•
The smoke outlet from the outside may be blocked from sooth. This can occur after chimney
sweeping. Control the smoke outlet.
•
The used amount of wood may have been too small. Therefore, the embers were too weak and cold
to light the next load of wood.
Use of dry wood of the right size is important to achieve optimum
combustion.
3.4 The first time a fire is lit
The wood burning stove is packed in recycling packaging. The wood from the packaging can be sawed into
smaller pieces and used the first few times a fire is lit. The plastic packaging must be disposed according to
national rules regarding disposal of waste.
During transportation, it may happen that the baffle plate in steel falls out of place. Therefore, before using
the stove, please make sure that the baffle plate is properly placed (on the hooks or fastened to the bolts
depending on the model) for optimum combustion and preventing soot on the glass.
