Draft Requirements HWAM Classic 7 is only one component of the total system. The venting system is equally important for achieving the required flow of combustion air to the firebox and for safely removing unwanted combustion by-products from the appliance. If the venting system’s design does not promote these ends, the system may not function properly.

Handle The handle for the door is removable. Please note that it will fall off when the door is closed. Hang the handle on the lower door frame when not in use. Do not hang the handle on the oven door frame. It may become too hot. Always use a stove mitt when refueling the stove.
Automatic Control (Drawing G) Brilliant solutions are often simple little details which nevertheless make a huge difference in our everyday lives. HWAM’s patented automatic system consists of a small spring which automatically regulates the supply of air to the combustion chamber.
Skamol Skamol refractory plates are delivered in all HWAM wood-burning stoves. When mounting a baffle plate place it according to the description on page 25: Removing Baffle for Cleaning. Make sure that it is placed symmetrically in the stove, i.e. with even amounts of free air space on each side.
Please refer to your local building codes. Draft Requirements The HWAM wood-burning stove is only one component of the total system. The venting system is equally important for achieving the required flow of combustion air to the firebox and for safely removing unwanted combustion by-products from the appliance.
(If your wood supply is not seasoned, ask your authorized HWAM dealer where to obtain seasoned fuel in your area). Wood should be stored in a dry place for at least two years before being used for fuel. Some trees have very high moisture content and it is necessary to thoroughly dry the wood.
Starting the Stove Do not elevate the fire on a grate. Build fire directly on the hearth inside the stove. Open the door and pull out the by-pass damper (4) Both air controls(1 and 2) at the base of the stove as far right as possible and fully open the air wash control in the in door (3).
Insufficient firing If the fireproof materials in the combustion chamber are blackened after a heating session, the stove is polluting, and the automatic air flow regulation system is not functioning properly. It will be necessary, therefore, to open the temperature control and, possibly, also to open the sliding damper in the door.
WARNING! DO NOT OPERATE WOOD-BURNING STOVE WITHOUT BAFFLE PLATES PROPERLY INSTALLED OR WARRANTY WILL BE VOID. WARNING! DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS. ALWAYS USE LISTED SPARE PARTS FROM HWAM A/S. Door Glass A glass cleaner designed for wood-burning stoves is recommended for cleaning the glass.
Replacing Door Glass Use only HWAM ceramic replacement glass 5 mm in thickness. The use of any other glass is prohibited. Do not remove the door before installing new glass. When replacing the glass all gaskets must be installed correctly. Make note of the gasket locations as you take the door apart.
