circumstances, you should not place more than two logs in the stove. If you want an enhanced effect, you can add
more logs. The nominal heat output is reached by burning approx. 1.5 kg per hour.
3.6 Damper
The stove is equipped with a damper under the door, which regulates the combustion air, ie. both primary,
secondary and tertiary air supply. You must always add secondary and tertiary air, while firing the stove.
The damper allows you to adjust the wood burning 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 above shows how much air is supplied by different damper settings. When the damper is pulled fully out,
maximum air supply is added. The Aduro-tronic automatic closes automatically the primary air after approx. 6
minutes. 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.
If you wish to fire the stove with the lowest effect possible – around 3 kW – you must close the secondary air
supply 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.
3.7 Primary damper
When you add a new log, the primary air intake/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 air intake 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 air intake/damper for approx. 1 minute before the door is opened. This increases the draught
through the stove and reduces the risk that ash will drop on the floor.
Please note: 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.
3.8 Aduro-tronic
The patent-applied Aduro-tronic is designed to operate the stove for you. 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 and the benefits of efficient combustion.
Aduro-tronic is a manually operated mechanical start-up device, which works without
the use of electricity.
Please note: Use of dry wood of the right size is important to achieve optimum
combustion.
