• Two-piece smoke defector plate (). Each half is hung on the hooks located beneath the top plate.
The two halves join in the holders behind the air pipe. Once the stove has been installed, twist the
protection o the two hooks by using pliers or a screwdriver.
• Removable rear plate (a), covering the HWAM
®
Autopilot™. This must always be mounted if
the stove is placed next to a combustible wall.
• Removable heat shield (b) - HWAM . This must always be mounted if the stove is placed
next to a combustible wall.
• Loose heat shield () under the ash pan. This can be used as a lid when the ash pan is removed
for emptying. This must always be mounted when the stove is burning
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 dierences 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 insucient 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.
Chimney sweeping
To prevent the risk of chimney fires, the chimney must be cleaned every year. The flue duct and
the smoke chamber above the bae plate must be cleaned together with the chimney. If the
chimney is too tall to be cleaned from above, it must be equipped with a soot door.
In case of a chimney fire, close all dampers and call the firefighters. Before any further use, have
the chimney checked by the chimney sweeper.
