Congratulations on your new wood-burning stove complete with a HWAM Autopilot IHS IHS is short for “Intelligent Heat System”, which is a digital control of the combustion in your new wood-burning stove. The purpose of the HWAM Autopilot IHS is to control the combustion in an environmentally optimal and economically efficient way, with a view to generating greater user comfort.
Clean Air Act requirements. The HWAM 4500 IHS stoves detailed below have been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning wood logs.
A window that opens or an adjustable air vent should be sufficient, but it is also possible to connect the stove to a HWAM fresh air system. The air inlet/grating must be placed so that they do not become blocked.

Distance to inflammable materials Your HWAM stove must always be installed on a non-combustible foundation. If it is set up on a wooden floor or another combustible material, the floor must always be covered with non-combustible material, e.g. a floor plate. The width and depth (distance in front of the stove) of the non-combustible material are determined according to relevant national and local building regulations.

The stove comes with four adjustment feet. Mount and adjust the adjustable feet screws in accordance with the separate instructions, 2 in each side, to the desired height. Connecting and preparing the HWAM Autopilot IHS Before the stove can be used it must be connected and prepared. Start by connecting the power adapter to the Airbox that sits in the space under the combustion chamber.
HWAM Autopilot IHS 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 (a brick chimney takes longer to warm up than a steel chimney).
iring MAnuAl Wood When you light the stove for the first time it should not be stoked excessively as all the materials must be given time to adapt to the effects of heat. The lacquer will be fully hardened after the stove has been used, and the door and the ashpan should be opened very carefully as there will otherwise be a risk that the gaskets will stick to the lacquer.

In certain cases it is necessary to assist the draught in the chimney by burning a couple of newspaper pages on top of the wood ready to be lit. Read more on www.hwam.com about the function of the chimney.

anew. If the room temperature drops below the desired level, the ember phase will be shortened, and the system will activate a re-stoking alarm. The system will signal that a re-stoking is due at the flue gas temperature of 180° C, and at 100° C the system will enter standby mode and all dampers will close. •...
A good combustion is achieved when the fire gets the right amount of oxygen supply at the right time and place in the combustion chamber. The HWAM Autopilot IHS allows for variations in external circumstances.
AintEnAnCE Cleaning Any maintenance of the stove should only be carried out when it is cold. Daily maintenance is limited to vacuum cleaning the stove externally, using the soft brush attachment. You can also dust the stove using a dry, soft cloth or brush. But remember, only when the stove is cold. Do not use water, spirit or any other kind of cleaner, as this will damage the lacquer.
In case the safety alarms go off, you must not use the stove. Contact your dealer as soon as possible. At interruptions that you cannot yourself rectify, you should contact the dealer.
