Regulation of the Aduro-tronic control
The control is pre-set to close the primary air intake within 6 minutes. This setting has been used during
testing at the Danish Technological Institute using a standard chimney and ‘standard’ sized logs (approx. 30
cm long, 10x10 cm thick) with maximum moisture content of 18%. In practice, such circumstances can differ,
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 How do I light the fire in my Aduro H5?
During transportation, it may happen that the exhaust deflector in steel falls
out of place. Therefore, before using the stove, please make sure that the
exhaust deflector is properly placed (on the hooks or fastened to the bolts
depending on the model) for optimum combustion and preventing soot on the
glass.
If you only want to use your Aduro H5 with wood, the hybrid stove has a
damper (see illustration below) for closing the pellet combustion manually.
The pellet function does not work when this damper is closed. The damper is
necessary, as you need to close the air to the pellet combustion to achieve
the most optimum combustion of the wood. However, if using both pellets and
wood, the damper must be open (pulled forward).
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 first few times the Aduro H5 is used, there may be some smoke and unpleasant odours from the Aduro
H5, 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 H5 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 efficient.
1. Pull the damper under the door fully out so that primary, secondary, and tertiary air supply is
completely open.
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.
