ADURO H2 Mode D'emploi page 59

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 How do I light the fire in my Aduro H2?
If you only want to use your Aduro H2 with wood, the hybrid stove has a damper (see illustration below) for
closing the pellet combustion manually. The pellet function does not work when this damper is closed. The
damper is necessary, as you need to close the air to the pellet combustion to achieve the most optimum
combustion of the wood. However, if using both pellets and wood, the damper must be open (pulled
forward).
3.3.1 The first time a fire is lit
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.
The first few times the Aduro H2 is used, there may be some smoke and unpleasant odours from the Aduro
H2, 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 Aduro H2 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.
