4.1 Inadequate draught in the chimney
If the chimney is too short, leaks or is inadequately insulated, there may be problems with the chimney draught (let
the chimney sweep assess this). The draught should be approx. 0.10–0.14 mbar in order to provide satisfactory
combustion and prevent smoke leakage.
If the chimney sweep judges the draught to be satisfactory, but you still have problems lighting a fire, try extending
the fire lighting phase/using more thin pieces of kindling, so that the chimney gets thoroughly warm. The chimney
will not draw at optimum effect until it is warm. The fire lighting phase can be prolonged by using a lot of kindling
and 1.2 firelighters. When a layer of embers has been formed, add 2–3 dry logs.
5.0 Maintaining and cleaning your wood burning stove
Gaskets
With time, the gaskets will wear, and, in order to avoid wild combustion, they must be replaced as required.
Glass
If the wood you burn is too moist, you will get soot stains on the glass pane. They can be easily removed using a
damp cloth that you dip in cold ash and rub on the sooty glass. Special cleaning agents are also available to
remove soot from glass, i.e. the Aduro Easy Clean pad.
Combustion chamber
The yellow tiles in the combustion chamber eventually wear out and they should be replaced when the cracks are
more that 0.5 cm. The durability of the tiles will depend on how often and how intensively the stove is used. You
can change the tiles yourself. They are available as a ready-to-use set. You can also buy one-piece tiles that you
can cut to the size of the worn plates yourself. Please visit www.aduroshop.com.
Ash
Empty the ash drawer before it becomes completely full. Always leave a layer of ash on the bottom of the stove, as
this insulates the combustion chamber and makes lighting a fire easier.
Cleaning the wood burning stove
The stove’s surface is treated with a heat-resistant Senotherm® paint, which will stay at its best just by being
vacuumed with a small, soft mouthpiece or dusted with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water, spirit or other solvents
which will remove the paint.
The inside of the wood burning stove and the flue must be swept regularly. Sweeping is not possible through the
door of the stove so provision must be made within the flue system. Cleaning of the inside of the wood burning
stove and the flue pipe should be undertaken at least once a year, or more frequently if necessary, depending on
how often the wood burning stove is used. This work can also be carried out by the chimney sweep.
Repairing the surface
If the surface of your wood burning stove gets scratched or worn, it can easily be refaced/renewed using the
original Senotherm® paint in an aerosol can. It is available in black or grey from your local dealer.
Please note: All maintenance and cleaning of the wood burning stove should be carried out when it is cold.
Spare parts and unauthorized alterations
You may only use original spare parts in the wood burning stove. Read more at www.aduroshop.com. All forms of
unauthorized alterations to the wood burning stove are strictly forbidden, as the wood burning stove will no longer
comply with the approved specifications.
