When stoking
You activate the automatic by pulling out the damper every time new firewood is added. The Aduro-tronic
automatic will then close the damper gradually after the pre-programmed time. It is important that there are
still clear flames after the damper is closed.
Regulation of the Aduro-tronic automatic
The automatic is pre-set to close the primary air intake within 6 minutes. This setting has been used during
testing at the Danish Technological Institute using a standard chimney and 'standard' sized logs (approx. 30
cm long and 10x10 cm thick) with maximum moisture content of 18%. In practice, such circumstances can
differ, which is why the Aduro-tronic automatic can be adjusted to your circumstances. If you want a slower
intake of primary air (e.g. for a lower chimney draft, larger sized wood, or for longer intervals between
stoking), adjust the screw on the front of the control bracket using a small allen key. If the screw is turned to
the right, the closing time is increased, and if turned to the left, the closing time is reduced.
3.3 Ventilation / fresh air supply
In order for the stove to function at optimum efficiency, air is needed for the combustion process. There must
be sufficient fresh air coming into the room where the wood burning stove is placed. In very well-insulated
houses or houses with powerful cooker hoods and/or air conditioning systems, a vacuum can be created
around the stove, leading to smoke leakage and poor combustion. In these circumstances, it might be
necessary to open a window to provide air for the combustion and to equalize the vacuum. Alternatively, you
could place an air vent in the room where the wood burning stove is placed. The amount of air needed for
the combustion is 25 m
3.4 How should I use my fireplace insert?
The fireplace insert is intended for intermittent combustion. This means that each stoking should burn down
to embers before new logs are added.
You can regulate the effect/heat output with the fuel. Burning small logs provides more powerful combustion
than burning large logs. The ideal heat output is reached by burning approx. 2.2 kg wood per hour.
If you experience problems lighting the fire or the fire dies after a short time, it can be due to the following
reasons:
•
The firewood is not dry enough. The firewood should have a moisture content of max. 18%.
•
There is a negative pressure in the house. See section 3.3.
•
The smoke outlet from the outside may be blocked from sooth. This can occur after chimney
sweeping. Control the smoke outlet.
•
The used amount of wood may have been too small. Therefore, the embers were too weak and cold
to light the next load of wood.
If you overload the wood burning stove and burn more than the recommended
amount of wood per hour (see section 1.3), there is a risk that the surface of the
stove will become discoloured and eventually fall off. The stove can be
resurfaced.
