3.1.1 Secondary air supply
In normal circumstances, the wood burning stove 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. The air-wash system that minimizes soot collecting
on the glass panes is also adjusted by this damper.
If you want to fire the stove with the lowest effect possible – around 3 kW – you must close the secondary
damper 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 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.
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

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
