ADURO H2 Mode D'emploi page 58

3.1.2 Primary damper
When you add a new log, the primary damper should be opened until the fire is burning properly. In order to
utilize the fuel to the fullest extent, the embers should have burnt for so long that it is necessary to open the
primary damper for approx. 2 minutes to get the new log to burn.
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 damper for approx. 1 minute before the door is opened. This increases the draft
through the stove and reduces the risk that ash will drop on the floor.
If you overload the Aduro H2 and burn more than approx. 3.1 kg wood per hour,
there is a risk that the lacquered surface of the stove will become discolored
and eventually fall off. The stove can be repainted, but this is not covered by the
manufacturer's guarantee. In the same way, any other damage to the stove
caused by overloading will not be covered by the warranty.
3.2 Aduro-tronic
The patent-applied control Aduro-tronic is a manually operated mechanical start-up
device, which works without the use of electricity and automatically regulates the
combustion. All you have to do is put dry wood in the stove and activate the control
system. Aduro-tronic does the rest, leaving you to enjoy the flames, the benefits of
efficient combustion, and a reduced firewood usage up to 40 %. For further

3.2.1 How to operate Aduro-tronic
When lighting with wood only
When lighting a fire in the Aduro H2 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.
