3.6 Secondary damper
The secondary damper behind the door should always be open while the wood burning stove is in use. This
damper allows you to adjust the wood burning stove to the chimney draft and the heat output you require. 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.
3.6.1 Secondary damper side glass
The secondary damper over the side glass allows you to adjust the wood burning stove to the chimney draft and
the heat output you require. It also helps to keep the side glass clean when opened.
Aduro Key: provides easier control of the secondary damper. The key is fitted onto the
control handle, so you can more easily adjust the airflow from side to side. Turning to the
left decreases the airflow, and turning to the right increases the airflow. When the key is not
in use, it can hang on the edge of the drawer.
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 patent-applied mechanical solution,
which works without the use of electricity.
Please note: Use of dry wood of the right size is important to achieve optimum
combustion.
3.8.1 How to operate Aduro-tronic
When lighting
When lighting a fire in the wood burning 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).
Aduro Key
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).
