Recommended dimensions
The dimensions of the fuel are important to good combustion. The dimensions should be as follows:
Fuel type Length in cm Diameter in cm
Wood for kindling a fire (finely chopped) 25-30 2-5
Chopped wood 25-30 7-9
Special fire lighting guide for stoves with soapstone or sandstone cladding
Soapstone and sandstone are natural products which need to adjust to temperature changes. We
recommend following the procedure below:
1. The First Stoking
Open the door. Place two pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter) horizontally in the bottom of the
combustion compartment. Place 5-8 pieces of kindling randomly on top. Place two fire-lighters in
between the top layers of kindling. Light up the fire-lighters and close the stove door. Set the tem
-
perature level to level 1. Let the fire burn out and do not restoke even if there is a restoking alarm.
When the fire has died out completely, the door must be opened and stay open while the stove cools
down to room temperature.
2. The Second Stoking
Open the door. Place two pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter) horizontally in the bottom of the com
-
bustion compartment. Place 5-8 pieces of kindling randomly on top. Place two fire-lighters in between
the top layers of kindling. Light up the fire-lighters and close the stove door. Set the temperature level
to level 2. When there is a restoking alarm, you should restoke. Fill the combustion chamber half way
up with dry wood of a diameter of approx. 7-9 cm. Let the fire burn and let the stove cool down to
room temperature before the next lighting.
3. The Third Stoking
Repeat the second stoking, but use more wood this time.Set the temperature level to level 3. Let the
fire burn and allow the stove to cool down after the fire has died out.
Restoking:
Follow the general instructions, see the sections “Lighting the stove” and “Stoking”.
Lighting Up
A successful combustion process requires that the wood is lit in the right way. A cold stove and a cold
chimney challenge the combustion process. Be careful to make a good lighting with suitably dry wood,
using kindling and lighting the fire in the top layers of kindling.
Open the door. Place two pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter) horizontally in the
bottom of the combustion compartment. Place 5-8 pieces of kindling randomly
on top. Place two fire-lighters in between the top layers of kindling. Light up the
fire-lighters and close the stove door. Select the desired room temperature level.
When the door of the stove is opened the IHS system is activated. If lighting up
does not occur within 15 minutes, the system will automatically go back to standby and the dampers
will be closed.
If the flue gases do not reach a high enough temperature for kindling or firing, IHS Smart Control
TM
and the wireless room temperature sensor emit a stoking alarm, even if there is still unburned wood
and flames in the combustion chamber. The stoking alarm is emitted to make you aware that the fire
needs more energy. Restoking with small pieces of kindling wood can often provide a more rapid and
sufficient temperature rise.
HWAM Autopilot IHS

closes all three air dampers when the stove is in standby mode. This prevents
hot air from the room to enter the chimney (heat loss). This might on the other hand result in a very
