HWAM 130/55s Manual Del Usario página 10

The reason that you should not apply any of the above is that during combustion they develop substances
that are health hazardous and harmful to the environment . These substances could also damage your
insert and chimney, rendering the product warranty void .
Storage of wood
A water content of a maximum of 20% is achieved by storing the wood for a minimum of one year,
preferably two years, outdoors under a lean-to . Wood stored indoors has a tendency to become too
dry and combust too quickly . However, it might be advantageous to store fuel for lighting a fire indoors
for a few days prior to use .
Recommended dimensions
The dimensions of the fuel are important to good combustion . The dimensions should be as follows:
Fuel type
Wood for kindling a fire (finely chopped)
Chopped wood
Regulating the insert (Drawing E)
The adjustment bar (1) is located behind the glass . The automatic control function is set to maximum when
the adjustment bar is set to the rightmost position, and minimum when the bar is set to the leftmost position .
Firing
Push the adjustment bar all the way to the right to set the automatic control to maximum effect . Put split
kindling, corresponding to two to three pieces of wood (about 2 kg), into the insert . Put two fire lighters
in between the upper layer of kindling . Light them and allow the flames to spread slowly . Keep the door
ajar until no more condensation forms on the glass (for a maximum of 5 min .) . Close the door . When
the kindling is burning well, push the output regulating rod into middle position . If the fire goes out, this
has been done too early . Push the regulating rod to the right again until the fire is burning properly . Allow
the kindling to burn out until flames are no longer visible .
Important! The door may only be opened when lighting the insert, adding fuel to the fire or removing ash .
Burning
When there are no more visible yellow flames, and a right ember is there, you can fire again . The layer of
embers is suitable when the pieces of wood begin to disintegrate and the bottom of the insert is covered
by embers . Put two or three pieces of wood weighing up to 1 kg each into the insert . The automatic
control manages the regulation of air supply .
The temperature can, however, be set up or down by pushing the regulation bar either to the right or
left, respectively . If the adjustment bar is set farther to the left, combustion is reduced and the burning
time is prolonged . By pushing it to the right, combustion is increased and burning time is shortened . Do
not add new firewood to the fire until the layer of embers is sufficiently low .
Fuelling with coal, wood briquettes or pet coke
The HWAM I30/55s is not approved to use coal or pet coke as a fuel . However, wood briquettes can
be used to fuel the fire and should be placed on the embers produced by the burned wood . Push the
adjustment bar all the way to the right until the briquettes are smouldering .
Remember that the adjustment bar should afterwards be pushed to the left again to reduce
combustion. Be aware that using fuels other than wood, will cause soot to form on the glass
pane.
