Lighting The Stove - ADURO 12 User Manual

Do not install the stove in the following ways:
Through a damp crawl space:
If the air is drawn from a damp crawl
space, you won't achieve an optimum air
intake.
Important safety information:
•
The wood burning stove will become warm during use, and therefore it should be treated with all
necessary caution.
•
Never keep easily combustible fluids such as petrol in the vicinity of the wood burning stove.
•
Never use easily combustible fluids to light the fire in the wood burning stove.
•
When lighting a fire and adding new wood logs, it is important to get the fire burning fast. If the fire
does not start quickly and wood only smoulders, it can cause strong smoke formation and in worst
case cause an explosive ignition of the flue gasses, which can damage the stove.
•
Never empty the ashpan when the wood burning stove is warm. Embers may still be found in the
ashpan for up to 24 hours after the fire has gone out. Please wait to empty the ashpan until you
are sure that there are no embers in the ash.
•
The door should be kept closed while the wood burning stove is in use. While lighting the fire, the
door can stand ajar for the first few minutes.
•
When putting logs in a hot stove, you must always open the primary air intake and make sure that
the wood ignites within 2-3 minutes. If the wood does not ignite, add some ignition products, and
ignite them manually. Please make sure that the flames are burning steadily for the first 10
minutes before you leave the stove.
•
In the event of a chimney fire: Close all the dampers on the wood burning stove and call the fire-
fighting service.
With air intake upwards:
If the air intake is turned upwards,
there will be too much resistance for
the air intake.
