3.2 Aduro-tronic
Aduro wood burning stoves are equipped with the patented Aduro-tronic automatic as a standard. Aduro-
tronic is a manually operated mechanical start-up device, which works without the use of electricity. It
automatically regulates the combustion air and thus secures an efficient combustion. For further information,

3.2.1 How to operate Aduro-tronic
When lighting
When lighting a fire in the stove, 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 out 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 few minutes
during the ignition phase (without the key).
When stoking
You activate the automatic by pulling out the damper every time new firewood is added. The Aduro-tronic
automatic will then close the damper gradually after the pre-programmed time. It is important that there are
still clear flames after the damper is closed.
Regulation of the Aduro-tronic automatic
The automatic 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 and 10x10 cm thick) with maximum moisture content of 18%. In practice, such circumstances can
differ, which is why the Aduro-tronic automatic can be adjusted to your circumstances. If you want a slower
intake of primary air (e.g. for a lower chimney draft, larger sized wood, or for longer intervals between
stoking), adjust the screw on the front of the control bracket using a small allen key. If the screw is turned to
the right, the closing time is increased, and if turned to the left, the closing time is reduced.
3.3 Ventilation / fresh air supply
In order for the wood burning stove to function at optimum efficiency, air is needed for the combustion
process. There must be sufficient fresh air coming into the room where the wood burning stove is placed. In
very well-insulated houses or houses with powerful cooker hoods and/or air conditioning systems, a vacuum
can be created around the wood burning stove, leading to smoke leakage and poor combustion. In these
circumstances, it might be necessary to open a window to provide air for the combustion and to equalize the
vacuum. Alternatively, you could place an air vent in the room where the wood burning stove is placed. The
3 /h.
amount of air needed for the combustion is 25 m
3.4 How should I use my wood burning stove?
The wood burning stove is intended for intermittent combustion. This means that each stoking should burn
down to embers before new logs are added. Always respect the MAX-load line which marks the limit for the
amount of wood.
You can regulate the effect/heat output with the fuel. Burning small logs provides more powerful combustion
than burning large logs. The ideal heat output is reached by burning approx. 1.5 kg wood per hour.
