ADURO 22 Serie Mode D'emploi page 38

The damper allows you to adjust the 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 below shows the stove with the damper indicated. Use the edge of the door to read the position of
the inlet air:
3.1.1 Primary air
When you add new logs, the primary air should be opened until the fire is burning properly. In order to utilise
the fuel to the fullest extent, the embers should have burnt for so long that it is necessary to open the primary
air for approx. 2 minutes to get the logs burning. However, it is important to fire at a certain time so that the
flames do not go out during the closing time for the Aduro-tronic.
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 for approx. 1 minute before the door is opened. This increases the draft through
the stove.
3.1.2 Secondary air
In normal circumstances, the wood burning stove should be working with the secondary air open between 60
% and 100 % (the damper is placed between position 2 and 3. See section 3.1). You should never close the
air intake so far that the flames go out. There should always be visible flames in order to achieve a clean and
efficient combustion. A too low supply of air can lead to bad combustion, high emissions, and a low
efficiency.
If you want to fire in the stove with the lowest possible effect – around 3 kW – you must close the secondary
air almost completely approx. 45 minutes after stoking. At this point there are only few flames, and the stove
can burn clean by using the tertiary air from the back of the combustion chamber.
3.2 Aduro-tronic
Aduro wood burning stoves are equipped with the patented Aduro-tronic automatic as a standard. Aduro-
tronic is a manually operated mechanical start-up device, which works without the use of electricity. It
automatically regulates the combustion air and thus secures an efficient combustion. For further information,

1: Fully open primary, secondary, and tertiary air inlet. This
position can be maintained with the Aduro key, which must be
placed in the two holes. See section 3.2.1.
2: Closed primary air inlet, fully open secondary and tertiary
air inlet.
3: Closed primary air inlet, half-way closed secondary air
inlet, and fully open tertiary air inlet.
4: Closed primary and secondary air inlet, fully open tertiary
air inlet.
5: Regulator pushed all the way in. All air inlets are closed.
