3.1 Air damper
Applies to Aduro 12:
The stove is equipped with air dampers for regulation of the primary and secondary air supply. The primary
air is used at the beginning to get the fire going, and the secondary air keeps the fire burning evenly. The
tertiary air ensures that flue gasses are burned and is not adjustable. You must always add secondary and
tertiary air, while firing the stove. The air-wash system that minimises soot on the front glass is adjusted by
the secondary damper. The illustration below shows the stove with the dampers indicated:
Applies to Aduro 15 Lux:
The stove is equipped with an air damper for regulation of the primary and secondary air supply. The primary
air is used at the beginning to get the fire going and the secondary air keeps the fire burning evenly. The
tertiary air ensures that flue gasses are burned and is not adjustable. You must always add secondary and
tertiary air, while firing the stove. The air-wash system that minimises soot on the front glass is also adjusted
by this damper.
The damper allows you to adjust the stove according to the chimney draft and the heat output you require.
The longer the damper is pulled out, the more air is added, and the more powerful the combustion. The
illustration below shows the stove with the damper indicated. Use the edge of the door to read the position of
the inlet air:
