The First Time A Fire Is Lit; How Should Iuse My Aduro H2; Damper - ADURO H2 Mode D'emploi

The stove in pellet operation
When the stove is in pellet operation, you can always add firewood – you just have to remember to close the
door within 3 minutes. Open the door carefully and the pellet supply will stop and the ALARM light is red.
Add firewood of the correct quality and respect the MAX Load line. Close the door again. The stove will
continue combustion of pellets. When the logs are burning and the smoke temperature is about 275 degrees,
the pellet supply stops automatically. After this, the stove will change to WOOD BURNING mode.
IMPORTANT
If the door to the combustion chamber is open for more than 3 minutes, the pellet combustion will shut down
and must be started again by pushing ON/OFF. The stove starts when the smoke temperature is below 100
degrees C. If the stove blinks green ON, it means that the stove will start, but is waiting for the smoke
temperature to be below 100 degrees C or timer.
When you want to switch off the pellet burner, push the ON/OFF button. If you open the stove door during
operation, the red ALARM lamp will be on. If you close the door before 3 minutes, the pellet burner goes
back to ON mode automatically.

3.4 The first time a fire is lit

The Aduro H2 is packed in recycling packaging (wood and plastic). This must be disposed according to
national rules regarding disposal of waste. The wood from the packaging can be sawed into smaller pieces
and used the first time a fire is lit.
The first few times the Aduro H2 is used, there may be some smoke and unpleasant odours from the Aduro
H2, which is fairly normal. This is caused by the heat-resistant paint hardening. Make sure there is sufficient
ventilation during this stage. It is also important not to let the fire burn too fiercely the first 2–3 times, so that
the Aduro H2 has time to expand slowly. You should also be aware that the stove may make clicking sounds
as it heats up and cools down – rather like pouring boiling water into a sink. These are caused by the great
differences in temperature to which the materials are being exposed.
During the first firing, which should be carried out using approximately 1 kg of wood, the stoking door must
be left slightly open and must not be closed until the stove is cold. This is to prevent the sealing rope sticking
to the stove.
3.5 How should I use my Aduro H2?
The Aduro H2 is intended for intermittent combustion. This means that each stoking should burn down to
embers before new logs are added.
In order to obtain the best possible combustion, you should regulate the effect/heat output with the fuel.
Burning small logs provides more powerful combustion than burning large logs as the surface area is greater
and more gas is released. The amount of wood in the combustion chamber is another factor that affects
combustion. In normal 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, divided between 3 pieces with a length of approx. 21 cm.
The pellet function can burn up to 24 hours on a full pellet container at level 1, level 2 for 12 hours and level
3 for 8 hours. The stove is capable of running day and night, if pellets are added in time.

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 Aduro H2 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 Aduro H2 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.
