•
Never empty the ashpan when the wood burning stove is warm. Embers may still be found in the
ashpan for up to 24 hours after the fire has gone out. Please wait to empty the ashpan until you
are sure that there are no embers in the ash.
•
The door should be kept closed while the wood burning stove is in use. While lighting the fire, the
door can stand ajar for the first few minutes.
•
In the event of a chimney fire: Close all the dampers on the wood burning stove and call the fire-
fighting service.
3.1 Damper
The stove is equipped with a damper under the door, which regulates the combustion air: primary,
secondary, and tertiary air supply. The primary air is used at the beginning to get the fire going, the
secondary air keeps the fire burning evenly, and the tertiary air ensures that flue gasses are burned. You
must always add secondary and tertiary air, while firing the stove.
The damper allows you to adjust the stove according to the chimney draft and the heat output you require.
The longer the damper is pulled out, the more air is added and the more powerful the combustion. The
illustration below shows the stove seen from the front with the dampers indicated. Use edge of door to read
position of inlet air:
3.1.1 Secondary air supply
In normal circumstances, the wood burning stove should be working with this damper open between 60 %
and 100 %. You should never close the air intake so far that the flames are extinguished. There should
always be visible flames in order to achieve clean and efficient combustion. A too low supply of air can lead
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.
1: Fully open primary, secondary, and tertiary air inlet.
This position can be maintained with the Aduro key,
which must be placed in the two holes.
2: Closed primary air inlet, fully open secondary and
tertiary air inlet.
3: Closed primary air inlet, half way closed secondary
air inlet and fully open tertiary air inlet.
4: Closed primary and secondary air inlet, fully open
tertiary air inlet.
5: Regulator pushed all the way in. All air inlet closed.
