3.1.3 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
information, go to www.adurofire.com.
3.2.1 How to operate Aduro-tronic
When lighting
When lighting a fire in the stove for the first time, the maximum amount of
primary air will be needed to light the fire. For that reason, the primary
damper can be kept “forcibly open”. This is done by pulling the primary
damper forward as far as possible and then fixing it with the Aduro Key
(see illustration). When the stove is warm and a layer of embers has been
created on the bottom of the combustion chamber, the Aduro-tronic can
be set to the automatic position, i.e. the Aduro Key can be removed.
Alternatively, you can leave the door ajar the first minutes during lighting
the fire (without the key).
When stoking
Each time fresh wood is put in the stove, a precise amount of primary air
will be allowed in for the first few minutes. What’s more important is that
the primary air is not allowed in for too long. This is to ensure optimum
combustion. The Aduro-tronic control will ensure intake of primary air at
the right tempo. The automatic is activated by pulling the primary damper out each time fresh wood is put in
the stove. The automatic closes then the primary air gradually.
