ADURO Asgård 9 Mode D'emploi page 19

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Please note: that the wood burning stove must be installed on a floor with the adequate load-bearing capacity. If the
existing construction does not meet this requirement, appropriate adaptation measures must be taken (e.g. a load-
distributing plate).
If the wood burning stove is to be placed close to flammable material, such as a wooden floor or carpet, it must be
placed on a non-flammable base. The floor plate should extend for at least 30 cm in front of the wood burning
stove, and 15 cm on each side.
2.2 Pipe connection
Asgård 9 and Asgård 9.1 leave the factory with the flue outlet mounted on the top.
A flue pipe with an internal diameter of 150 mm should be used for Asgård stoves.
2.3 Connection to a brick chimney
If the stove is being connected to a brick chimney, a curved flue pipe should be used via the top outlet. After
measurement, a hole is made in the chimney in which the pipe sleeve is placed and fireplace mortar is used to seal
it in place. The stove is placed in position and the flue pipe is put in place. A thin gasket is placed between the flue
pipe and the pipe sleeve to seal the joints. The flue pipe should protrude 5–10 cm into the pipe sleeve, but must not
block the opening in the chimney (see the illustration below).
The wood burning stove can be connected to a chimney to which other heat sources are connected.
3.0 Lighting a fire in the wood burning stove
3.1 Important safety information
•
The wood burning stove will become warm during use and therefore it should be treated with all necessary
caution.
•
Never keep easily combustible fluids such as petrol in the vicinity of the wood burning stove – and never
use easily combustible fluids to light the fire in the wood burning stove.
•
Never empty the ash drawer when the wood burning stove is warm. Embers may still be found in the ash
drawer for up to 24 hours after the fire has gone out. Please wait to empty the ash drawer 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.
3.2 Recommended fuels?
Wood and woodbriquettes. We recommend the use of split hardwood that has been stored outdoors under
cover for at least 1 year. Wood that has been stored indoors has a tendency to become too dry and will burn too
quickly. The wood should preferably be felled in the winter, when a lot of the moisture in the wood will have been
drawn down into the roots. In order to achieve optimum combustion, the wood's moisture level should not
exceed 18%, which roughly corresponds to storing the wood under cover outdoors for one year. The moisture
level of the wood can be measured using a moisture meter or by applying washing up liquid to one end of the
log and blowing air in the other end. If the wood is dry enough, soap bubbles will appear. The wood should be
chopped into logs with a diameter of approx. 10 cm and a log length of max. 32 cm.
Correct firing provides optimal heat output and maximum economy. At the same time, correct firing prevents
environmental damage in the form of smoke and malodorous fumes and also reduces the risk of chimney fires.
Well seasoned wood fuel is essential for correct use. Make sure your fuel is kept dry. If the fuel is wet, a large
