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). 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
Aduro Key
can be removed.
Alternatively, you can leave the door ajar the first minutes during lighting
the fire (without the key).
When stoking
Each time fresh wood is put in the stove, a precise amount of primary air
will be allowed in for the first few minutes. What's more important is that
the primary air is not allowed in 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 allow primary air intake for the first 5 minutes. This setting has been used during testing at
the Danish Technological Institute using 'standard' sized logs and with optimum moisture content of 17%. Standard
size logs are approx. 30 cm long and 10 x 10 cm in thickness. A standard chimney was also used for testing. 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 draught, 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
