ADURO H1 Mode D'emploi page 57

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 Aduro H1 is packed in recycling packaging (wood and plastic). This must be disposed
according to national rules regarding disposal of waste. The wood from the packaging can be sawed into
smaller pieces and used the first time a fire is lit.
The first few times the Aduro H1 is used, there may be some smoke and unpleasant odours from the Aduro
H1, 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 H1 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.
3.3.2 Lighting the fire manually with firewood
The fire lighting method is very important for starting combustion quickly and efficiently.
1) Open the damper under the door (pulled fully out). The primary damper is used at the start to get the
fire going, while the secondary air intake keeps the fire burning evenly. The illustration below shows
the stove seen from the front with the dampers indicated.
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.
