For UK - The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area.
Installation English General information Installation of your HWAM woodburning stove must always comply with local building regulations. It is a good idea to consult your local chimney sweep before installing, since he will be the one to sweep the chimney and stove. Always follow the instructions of the manual carefully and make sure that the installation is carried out by a qualified professional. See HWAM's list of dealers at www.hwam.com under 'Dealers'.

10. Lie the top plate (2) on the stove. 11. Place the cast-iron or stone top cover (12) in the hole in the top plate. 12. Re-attach the front (1) to the heat storage area. Fitting the loose parts Before the stove is installed, you must ensure that all loose parts are fitted correctly. Check that all insulation plates of the combustion chamber have been properly placed, i.e.
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.
Storage of wood A water content of a maximum of 18% is achieved by storing the wood for a minimum of one year, preferably two years, outdoors under a lean-to. Wood stored indoors has a tendency to become too dry and combust too quickly. However, it might be advantageous to store fuel for lighting a fire indoors for a few days prior to use. Recommended dimensions The dimensions of the fuel are important to good combustion.
Stoking (drawing E) When no more yellow flames are visible and a suitable layer of embers has built up, the stove can be stoked again. A suitable ember layer is when the bottom of the combustion chamber is covered by embers which are shining brightly. Put at least two pieces of wood into the stove, weighing up to 1.2 kg each. Do not regulate the stove again as the Autopilot system will do this, but the temperature can be adjusted with the regulator (1).
Insufficient firing If the fireproof materials in the combustion chamber are blackened after a fire, then the stove is polluting, and the automatic air flow regulation system is malfunctioning. Therefore, more air must be supplied by turning the regulator clockwise (to the right). It may also be necessary to burn more wood. How to achieve the best combustion • Use clean and dry wood. Wet wood results in inefficient combustion, plenty of smoke, and soot.
Service inspection Your stove should be given a thorough, preventive inspection once every two years.This includes: • Thorough cleaning of the stove. • Checking the spring in the Autopilot unit. Replace if necessary. • Checking gaskets. Replace gaskets if they are not intact or are no longer soft. • Checking and/or replacing insulation material. • Checking the combustion chamber base. • Use copper grease for hinges and locking hooks (see drawing I).
Operational problems Blackened glass • The wood is too damp. Only use wood stored for at least 12 months under cover and with a moisture level not exceeding 18% RH. • The door gasket may be leaking. Smoke in the room when opening door • The grate in the chimney may be closed. Open the grate. • Insufficient chimney draft. See section on chimney or contact chimney sweep. • Soot door leaking or dislodged. Replace or refit. • Never open the door when there are still flames on the wood.
