ADURO 5.1 Manual De Usuario página 41

In order to reduce the risk of ash falling from the stove when the door is opened to add more fuel, it is a good
idea to open the primary damper for approx. 1 minute before the door is opened. This increases the draft
through the stove and reduces the risk that ash will drop on the floor.
If you overload the fireplace insert and burn more than approx. 3.4 kg
wood/hour, there is a risk that the lacquered surface of the stove will become
discoloured and eventually fall off. The stove can be resurfaced, but this is not
covered by the manufacturer's guarantee. In the same way, any other damage to
the stove caused by overloading will not be covered by the guarantee.
3.2 Aduro-tronic
The patent-applied control Aduro-tronic is a manually operated mechanical start-up
device, which works without the use of electricity and automatically regulates the
combustion. All you have to do is put dry wood in the stove and activate the control
system. Aduro-tronic does the rest, leaving you to enjoy the flames, the benefits of
efficient combustion, and a reduced firewood usage up to 40 %. For further

3.2.1 How to operate Aduro-tronic
When lighting
When lighting a fire in the stove for the first time, the maximum amount of
primary air will be needed to light the fire. For that reason, the primary
damper can be kept "forcibly open". This is done by pulling the primary
damper forward as far as possible and then fixing it with the Aduro Key
(see illustration). When the stove is warm and a layer of embers has been
created on the bottom of the combustion chamber, the Aduro-tronic can be
set to the automatic position, i.e. the Aduro Key can be removed.
Alternatively, you can leave the door ajar the first minutes during lighting
the fire (without the key).
When stoking
Each time fresh wood is put in the stove, a precise amount of primary air will be allowed in for the first few
minutes. What's more important is that the primary air is not allowed in for too long. This is to ensure
optimum combustion. The Aduro-tronic control will ensure intake of primary air at the right tempo. The
automatic is activated by pulling the primary damper out each time fresh wood is put in the stove. The
automatic closes then the primary air gradually.
Regulation of the Aduro-tronic control
The control is pre-set to close the primary air intake within 6 minutes. This setting has been used during
testing at the Danish Technological Institute using a standard chimney and 'standard' sized logs (approx. 30
cm long, 10x10 cm thick) with maximum moisture content of 18%. In practice, such circumstances can differ,
which is why the Aduro-tronic control can be adjusted to your circumstances. If you want a slower intake of
primary air (e.g. for a slower flue draft, larger sized wood or for longer intervals between stoking), adjust the
