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 Ventilation / fresh air supply
In order for the fireplace insert to function at optimum efficiency, air is needed for the combustion process.
There must be sufficient fresh air coming into the room containing the fireplace insert. In very well-insulated
houses, or houses with powerful cooker hoods and/or air conditioning systems, a vacuum can be created
around the fireplace insert, leading to smoke leakage and poor combustion. In these circumstances, it might
be necessary to open a window to provide air for combustion and to equalize the vacuum. Alternatively, you
could fit an air vent in the room containing the fireplace insert. The amount of air needed for combustion is

3.4 How should I use my fireplace insert?
The fireplace insert is intended for intermittent combustion. This means that each stoking should burn down
to embers before new logs are added.
To obtain the best possible combustion, you should regulate the effect/heat output with the fuel. Burning
small logs provides more powerful combustion than burning large logs as the surface area is greater and
more gas is released. The amount of wood in the combustion chamber is another factor that affects
combustion. The optimum combustion is achieved by placing two logs in the stove. If you want an enhanced
effect, you can add more logs. The ideal heat output is reached by burning approx. 2.2 kg per hour.
3. The first time a fire is lit
The fireplace insert is packed in recycling packaging. The wood from the packaging can be sawed into
smaller pieces and used the first few times a fire is lit. The plastic packaging must be disposed according to
national rules regarding disposal of waste.
The first few times the fireplace insert is used, there may be some smoke and unpleasant odours from the
fireplace insert, 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 fireplace insert has time to expand slowly.
You should also be aware that the stove may make some clicking sounds as it heats up and cools down –
like pouring boiling water into a sink. These are caused by the great differences in temperature to which the
materials are being exposed.
