3.2.1 How to operate Aduro-tronic
When lighting with wood only
When lighting a fire in the Aduro H2 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
screw on the front of the control level using a small allen key to slow closure rate. If the screw is turned to the
right closing time is increased and if turned to the left closing time is reduced.
3.3 How do I light the fire in my Aduro H2?
During transportation, it may happen that the exhaust deflector in steel falls
out of place. Therefore, before using the stove, please make sure that the
exhaust deflector is properly placed (on the hooks or fastened to the bolts
depending on the model) for optimum combustion and preventing soot on
the glass.
If you only want to use your Aduro H2 with wood, the hybrid stove has a
damper (see illustration) for closing the pellet combustion manually. The
pellet function does not work when this damper is closed. The damper is
necessary, as you need to close the air to the pellet combustion to achieve
the most optimum combustion of the wood. However, if using both pellets
and wood, the damper must be open (pulled forward).
