3.2.1 How to operate Aduro-tronic
When lighting
When lighting a fire in the 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 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 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, 10x10 cm thick) with maximum moisture content of 18%. 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 draft, 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.
3.3 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
3
air needed for combustion is 25 m /h.
3.4 How should I 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.
