The remote control will respond with the text ”Pass” if everything is OK or ”Failed” if there is a
problem. The remote control will also respond with the text "Failed" if you, prior to self-test with the
remote control, have prepared the wood-burning stove for lighting up a fire (made the match box
appear on the display). If the electric power is cut and switched on again, the programme will return
to standby and the self-test can be carried out. If the remote control responds with the text "Not
completed", the self-test could not be carried out, either because the wood-burning stove has not
cooled off or because it is not in standby mode.
5. The remote control must be placed in the same room as the wood-burning stove and in a location
where it is neither exposed to direct heat radiation from the stove nor to direct sunlight. The reason
is that the remote control functions as a thermometer. The room temperature is transmitted wirelessly
to the stove’s electronic control to support the intelligent regulation of the combustion. The remote
control stand can be mounted on the wall.
Chimney
The chimney is the “engine” of the stove and it is crucial for the functioning of the woodburning stove.
The chimney draft provides a partial vacuum in the stove. The partial vacuum removes the smoke from
the stove, sucks air through the damper to the so-called pane flush mechanism, which keeps the window
pane soot free, and sucks air into the combustion via the HWAM Autopilot IHS
TM
.
The chimney draft is created by the differences in temperature inside and outside the chimney. The higher
the temperature within the chimney, the greater the draft. A brick chimney takes longer to warm up than a
steel chimney. On days where the weather and wind conditions create insufficient draught inside the chimney,
it is even more important to warm up the chimney as quickly as possible. The trick is to quickly get some
flames going. Split the wood into extra fine pieces, use an extra firelighter, etc.
If the stove has not been used for a longer period, it is important to check that the chimney pipe is not blocked.
It is possible to connect several devices to the same chimney. However, it is important to first check the
applicable rules.
Even a good chimney can function badly if it is not used correctly. Similarly, a bad chimney may function
well if used correctly.
Chimney sweeping
To prevent the risk of chimney fires, the chimney must be cleaned every year. The flue duct and the smoke
chamber above the baffle plate must be cleaned together with the chimney. If the chimney is too tall to
be cleaned from above, it must be equipped with a soot door.
In case of a chimney fire and overheating, the HWAM Autopilot IHS
TM
will enter a security mode and
automatically adjust all dampers, effectively quenching the fire. Do not open the stove door, since that
might cause the fire to rekindle. Contact the fire brigade. After a fire, the stove should be checked by a
chimney sweep before use.
