Recommended Fuels - ADURO 5-1 Mode D'emploi

If the chimney goes directly down into the fireplace insert without sharp angles or significant bending, a wall sleeve
will usually not be needed. It is also important that there is no edge inside the chimney where soot can collect.
Flue pipe installation in a large chimney
A chimney that is larger than the flue pipe can be sealed with fixed rockwool batts, that are trimmed so that they
adhere tightly around the flue pipe. The batts should be laid in 3 layers and spread with fireplace mortar before they
are pushed up into the chimney from below. The fireplace mortar will stiffen and fix the batts to form a floor in the
chimney.
If you do not have free access to the chimney and are using flexible piping
The flexible piping should be trimmed to the appropriate length. Please note that the flexible piping should protrude
approx. 10 cm into the pipe sleeve. Then a thin gasket should be placed between the flexible pipe and the pipe
sleeve in the chimney and the flexible pipe should be pushed securely into place in the pipe sleeve.
Adjust with the setting screws until it is in the correct horizontal position.
The fireplace insert can be connected to a chimney to which other heat sources are connected.
3.0 Lighting a fire in the fireplace insert
3.1 Important safety information

The fireplace insert will become warm during use and therefore it should be treated with all necessary
caution.

Never keep easily combustible fluids such as petrol in the vicinity of the fireplace insert – and never use
easily combustible fluids to light the fire in the fireplace insert.

Never empty the ash drawer when the fireplace insert is warm. Embers may still be found in the ash drawer
for up to 24 hours after the fire has gone out. Please wait to empty the ash drawer until you are sure that
there are no embers in the ash.

The door should be kept closed while the fireplace insert is in use. While lighting the fire, the door can stand
ajar for the first few minutes.

In the event of a chimney fire: Close all the dampers on the fireplace insert and call the fire-fighting service.

3.2 Recommended fuels?

Wood and wood briquettes. We recommend the use of split hardwood that has been stored outdoors under
cover for at least 1 year. Wood that has been stored indoors has a tendency to become too dry and will burn too
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. 40 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 fireplace insert and your own health. Fossil fuels must not be used.
3.3 How do I light a fire in the fireplace insert?
The fire lighting method is very important for starting combustion quickly and efficiently.
1) Open the primary air intake/damper to the lower left and open the secondary air intake behind the door. The
primary damper is used at the start to get the fire going, while the secondary air intake keeps the fire
burning evenly. To open the primary air intake the damper should be pulled out.
2) Place a log 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.
