ADURO H1 Mode D'emploi page 55

3.1.1 Secundary air supply
In normal circumstances, the Aduro H1 should be working with this damper open between 60 % and 100 %.
You should never close the air intake so far that the flames are extinguished. There should always be visible
flames in order to achieve clean and efficient combustion. A too low supply of air can lead to bad
combustion, high emissions and a bad efficiency.
If you wish to fire the stove with the lowest effect possible – around 3 kW – you must close the secondary air
supply almost completely 45 minutes after the wood has been put in. At this point there are only few flames
and the stove can burn clean by using the tertiary air from behind in the stove.
3.1.2 Primary damper
When you add a new log, the primary air intake/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 air intake 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 air intake/damper for approx. 1 minute before the door is opened. This increases
the draught through the stove and reduces the risk that ash will drop on the floor.
if you overload the Aduro H1 and burn more than approx. 3.1 kg wood/hour,
there is a risk that the lacquered surface of the stove will become discoloured
and eventually fall off. The stove can be resurfaced, 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 guarantee.
3.2 Aduro-tronic
The patent-applied Aduro-tronic is designed to operate the stove for you. 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 and the benefits of efficient
combustion. Aduro-tronic is a manually operated mechanical start-up device, which
works without the use of electricity.
3.2.1 How to operate Aduro-tronic
When lighting
When lighting a fire in the Aduro H1 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).
