12. Place the stove top plate (3) on the fittings (13) and secure it with the four screws (2), two in each side.
13. Put one of the stove sides (1) on the guide pins in the bottom plate of the stove, and then press it
in towards the stove. Lift the side and press it lightly downwards until it engages with the guide pins.
Repeat with the other side.
Connection to chimney
All the stoves have both rear and top smoke outlet that can be connected to an approved steel chimney on
top or directly out at the rear to a chimney.

• Steel chimney (9).
• Flue gas elbow (10). Fits into smoke flue socket.
• Brick-built jamb of flue (11).
• Built-in pipe sleeve (12). Fits smoke flue.
• Wall rosette (13). Covers disruption to wall around pipe sleeve.
• Joint (14). Sealed with packing material.
• Smoke outlets (15) of the HWAM stove.
• Smoke flue regulating damper (16).
• Soot door (17).
Fitting the loose parts
Before the stove is installed, you must ensure that all loose parts are fitted correctly.
Vertical cross-section of the stoves (Drawing B):
• The smoke shelf (5). To be placed on top of the steel rail and on the holders in the sides.
• Two-piece smoke defector plate (6). Each half is hung on the hooks located beneath the top plate. The two
halves join in the holders behind the air pipe. Once the stove has been installed, twist the protection off
the two hooks by using pliers or a screwdriver.
• Cover plate (7). Should always cover the grate.
• Removable rear plate (2), covering automatic controls. This must always be mounted if the stove is
placed next to a combustible wall.
• Loose heat shield (8) under the ash pan. This can be used as a lid when the ash pan is removed for
emptying.
Cover plate (Drawing D)
Your HWAM woodburning stove is supplied with a loose cover plate for the shaking grate. This is a 3
mm thick iron plate. It is placed on top of the shaking grate and prevents the embers from falling into
the ash pan. The cover plate is raised approx. 8 mm above the grate, thus ensuring that the automatically
controlled primary combustion air is distributed evenly at the base of the combustion chamber.
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. This vacuum removes the smoke from the stove,
sucks air through the dampers for the so-called glass pane rinse which keeps the glass free of soot, and
sucks in air through both primary and secondary dampers for the combustion.
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. It is crucial, therefore, that the chimney is warmed up
properly before closing the damper and limiting the combustion in the stove (a brick chimney takes longer to
warm up than a steel chimney). On days where the weather and wind conditions create insufficient draught
