IMPORTANT!
If the door to the combustion chamber is open for more than 3 minutes, the pellet combustion will shut
down and must be started again by pushing ON/OFF. The stove starts when the smoke temperature is
below 100 degrees. If the stove flashes green ON, it means that the stove will start, but is waiting for the
smoke temperature to be below 100 degrees C or timer.
When you want to switch off the pellet burner, push the ON/OFF button. If you open the stove door during
operation, the red ALARM will light. If you close the door before 3 minutes, the pellet burner goes back to
ON mode automatically.
3.4 How should I use my Aduro H1?
The Aduro H1 is intended for intermittent combustion. This means that each stoking should burn down to
embers before new logs are added.
In order to obtain the best possible combustion, you should regulate the effect/heat output with the fuel.
Burning small logs provides more powerful combustion than burning large logs as the surface area is greater
and more gas is released. The amount of wood in the combustion chamber is another factor that affects
combustion. The optimum combustion is achieved by adding two pieces of logs. If you want an enhanced
effect, you can add more logs. The nominal heat output is reached by burning approx. 1.5 kg per hour,
divided between 3 pieces with a length of approx. 21 cm.
3.5 Recommended fuels
3.5.1 Wood and wood briquettes
Wood that has been stored indoors has a tendency to become too dry and will burn too quickly. We
recommend that you fell the wood in the winter, when a lot of the moisture in the wood will have been drawn
down into the roots. In order to achieve optimum combustion, the wood's moisture level should not exceed
18 %, which roughly corresponds to storing the wood under cover outdoors for one year. The moisture level
of the wood can be measured using a moisture meter or by applying washing up liquid to one end of the log
and blowing air in the other end. If the wood is dry enough, soap bubbles will appear. The wood should be
chopped into logs with a diameter of approx. 10 cm and a log length of max. 39 cm.
Correct firing provides optimum heat output and maximum economy. At the same time, correct firing
prevents environmental damage in the form of smoke and malodorous fumes and also reduces the risk of
chimney fires. Well-seasoned wood fuel is essential for correct use. Make sure your fuel is kept dry. If the
fuel is wet, a large proportion of the heat will be used to vaporize the water, and this energy will disappear up
the chimney. It is clearly not only uneconomical to fire with wet fuel but also, as mentioned above, increases
the risk of producing soot, smoke and other environmentally damaging by-products.
Burning varnished wood, impregnated wood, chipboard, paper and other waste is strictly forbidden. Burning
these materials will damage the environment, the Aduro H1 and your own health. Fossil fuels must not be
used.
The burning cave must not be removed during use with either wood nor pellets
(doesn't apply when conducting a fast cleaning under the burning cave to clean
out ash and cinders). Never use wood with nails and other objects that can
damage the auger carrying the pellets. Never place pellets in the combustion
chamber. Pellets must be supplied from the pellet container.
