Make sure that the chimney is tight and that no false draft is caused around neither the cover plate, in
connection with a covered smoke outlet, nor the cleanout door and pipe connections. Please note that
bent and/or horizontal smoke pipes will reduce the effect of the chimney draft.

• Steel chimney (9).
• Flue gas elbow (10). Fits into smoke flue socket.
• Brick-built jamb of flue (11).
• Built-in pipe sleeve (12). Fits smoke flue.
• Wall rosette (13). Covers disruption to wall around pipe sleeve.
• Joint (14). Sealed with packing material.
• Smoke outlets (15) of the HWAM stove.
• Smoke flue regulating damper (16).
• Soot door (17).
Fitting the loose parts
Before the stove is installed, you must ensure that all loose parts are fitted correctly. Check that all insula-
tion plates of the combustion chamber have been properly placed, i.e. that the bottom plate is horizontal
and that the side plates are vertical and reach all the way up to the steel sides of the combustion chamber
and down to the bottom plate.
Vertical cross-section of the stoves (Drawing B):
• The smoke shelf (5): Should rest on the rear plate and on the stand uppermost in the front of the
combustion chamber.
• The baffle plate (6): Is suspended on two hooks, one in either side uppermost in the combustion chamber.
To mount the baffle plate, lift it to a position at the very top of the combustion chamber, and then push
it back until it falls into place in the two hooks. When the stove is installed, the transport protection
(6a) is removed. Lift the smoke shelf up and forward. Then lower it and remove it from the combustion
chamber. Subsequently, the transport protection (6a) is bent downwards/forwards until it is vertical.
• The cast iron bottom plate (7): Must be in a flat position at the bottom of the combustion chamber.
• Air grate (8). Place the accompanying air grate on the cast-iron bottom of the combustion chamber, as
far up front as possible and with the slats pointing backwards. The grate is positioned correctly when
grate and bottom slot together.
Chimney
The chimney is the “engine” of the stove and it is crucial for the functioning of the woodburning stove.
The chimney draft provides a partial vacuum in the stove. This vacuum removes the smoke from the stove,
sucks air through the dampers for the so-called glass pane rinse which keeps the glass free of soot, and
sucks in air through both primary and secondary dampers for the combustion.
The chimney draft is created by the differences in temperature inside and outside the chimney. The higher
the temperature within the chimney, the greater the draft. It is crucial, therefore, that the chimney is warmed
up properly before closing the damper and limiting the combustion in the stove (a brick chimney takes
longer to warm up than a steel chimney). On days where the weather and wind conditions create insufficient
draught inside the chimney, it is even more important to warm up the chimney as quickly as possible. The
trick is to quickly get some flames going. Split the wood into extra fine pieces, use an extra firelighter, etc.
If the stove has not been used for a longer period, it is important to check that the chimney pipe is not
blocked.
It is possible to connect several devices to the same chimney. However, it is important to first check the
applicable rules.
Even a good chimney can function badly if it is not used correctly. Similarly, a bad chimney may function
well if used correctly.
