1. 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 35 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 proportion of the heat will be used to vaporize the water and this energy will disappear up the chimney It is clearly not only uneconomical to fire with wet fuel but also as mentioned above increases the risk of producing soot smoke and other environmentally damaging by products Burning varnished wood impregnated wood chipboard paper and other waste is strictly forbidden Burning these materials will damage the environment the wood burning stove and your own health Fossil fuels must not be used 262. 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 reduced The Aduro tronic must be closed within 10 minutes 4 9 Ventilation fresh air supply In order for the wood burning stove to function at optimum efficiency air is needed for the combustion process There must be sufficient fresh air coming into the room containing the wood burning stove In very well insulated houses or houses with powerful cooker hoods and or air conditioning systems a vacuum can be created around the wood burning stove leading to smoke leakage and poor combustion In these circumstances it might be necessary to open a window to provide air for combustion and to equalize the vacuum Alternatively you could fit an air vent in the room containing the wood burning stove The amount of air needed for combustion is 25 m h 5 0 The chimney Data for chimney calculation Wood Flue temperature at 20 C Chimney draught at testing power Imbar Pal 0 12 12 Flue gas mass flow g s The optimum combustion is achieved at a constant chimney draught of 0 10 to 0 14 mbar measured in the flue pipe above the stove There are many fa
3. 4 3 How do light a fire in the wood burning stove The fire lighting method is very important for starting combustion quickly and efficiently 1 Open the primary air intake damper under the door and open the secondary air intake placed next to The primary damper is used in the beginning to get the fire going while the secondary air intake keeps the fire burning evenly The illustration shows the stove seen from the front with specification of the dampers The illustration shows the stove seen from the front with the dampers indicated 2 Place alog of wood crosswise in the combustion chamber and put 2 firelighters close to the log Light the firelighters and quickly put a new log close to the firelighters and several small logs at an angle above it Air must be able to reach the firelighters but the logs should be touching to warm each other 3 Keep the door approx 1 cm ajar until the glass is too hot to touch Then close the door When there are distinct visible flames and the fire has taken hold close the primary air intake damper Secondary damper Primary damper Important The control handles will get warm when the wood burning stove is being used Please use the glove provided when you operate the wood burning stove 4 4 The first time a fire is lit The wood burning stove is packed in recycling packaging wood and plastic This must be disposed according to national rules regarding disposal of waste The wood from the pac

12. kaging can be sawed into smaller pieces and used the first time a fire is lit The first few times the wood burning stove is used there may be some smoke and unpleasant odours from the wood burning stove 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 wood burning stove 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 2 4 5 How should use my wood burning stove The wood burning stove 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 affe
