2.0 Installation of the wood burning stove
You are welcome to install your wood burning stove yourself – but we strongly recommend that you consult
your chimney sweep before you begin the installation. Your dealer can also provide you with installation
advice. It is important to ensure that all local rules and regulations, including ones relating to national and
European standards, are complied with when installing this device.
Please note: You may not begin to use the wood burning stove until it has been inspected and approved by
your local chimney sweep.
2.1 Position of the stove/distance requirements
The new wood burning stove must be installed in a suitable and physically possible position. You need to be
sure that the position complies with local regulations. Distance requirements will only apply if the wood
burning stove is to be placed close to flammable materials. The Aduro should be installed at a distance of
20 cm from flammable materials at the rear and at a distance of 25 cm from the side. When placing in a
corner, there must be 7 cm to each side. All furniture must be kept at least 110 cm away from the front of the
stove (see illustrations below).
If the stove is positioned against a brick wall or other non-flammable material, there is no minimum distance
requirement. To facilitate cleaning and for the best use of the convection air, we recommend that you leave a
distance of approximately 5–10 cm to the wall. The Aduro is built as a convection stove. This means that
air from the room circulates between the inner stove and the outer covering. As a result, the heated air is
distributed evenly throughout the room.

bottom of the stove
Please note: that the Aduro must be installed on a floor with the adequate load-bearing capacity. If the
existing construction does not meet this requirement, appropriate adaptation measures must be taken (e.g. a
load-distributing plate).
If the wood burning stove is to be placed close to flammable material, such as a wooden floor or carpet, it
must be placed on a non-flammable base. The floor plate should extend for at least 30 cm in front of the
wood burning stove, and 15 cm on each side.
2.2 Pipe connection
Aduro leaves the factory with the flue outlet mounted on the top. If you require the flue outlet on the back,
remove the round circle from the rear cover at the upper rear of the stove and then exchange the exhaust
connector (located on the top outlet above the stove) with the cover plate (that covers the rear outlet). The
top outlet is finished with the plate that lies in the ash drawer. A flue pipe with an internal diameter of 150 mm
should be used for Aduro stoves.

2.3 Connection to a brick chimney
If the stove is being connected to a brick chimney, the rear outlet should be used, or a curved flue pipe via
the top outlet. After measurement, a hole is made in the chimney in which the pipe sleeve is placed and
fireplace mortar is used to seal it in place. The stove is placed in position and the flue pipe is put in place. A
thin gasket is placed between the flue pipe and the pipe sleeve to seal the joints. The flue pipe should
protrude 5–10 cm into the pipe sleeve, but must not block the opening in the chimney (see the illustration
below).
The wood burning stove can be connected to a chimney to which other heat sources are connected.
3.0 Lighting a fire in the wood burning stove
3.1 Important safety information
• The wood burning stove will become warm during use and therefore it should be treated with all
necessary caution.
• Never keep easily combustible fluids such as petrol in the vicinity of the wood burning stove – and
never use easily combustible fluids to light the fire in the wood burning stove.
• Never empty the ash drawer when the wood burning stove is warm. Embers may still be found in the
ash drawer for up to 2 hours after the fire has gone out. Please wait to empty the ash drawer until
you are sure that there are no embers in the ash.
• The door should be kept closed while the wood burning stove is in use. While lighting the fire, the
door can stand ajar for the first few minutes.
• In the event of a chimney fire: Close all the dampers on the wood burning stove and call the fire-
fighting service.
3.2 Recommended fuels?
We recommend the use of split hardwood that has been stored outdoors under cover for at least 1 year.
Wood that has been stored indoors has a tendency to become too dry and will burn too quickly. The
wood should preferably be felled in the winter, when a lot of the moisture in the wood will have been
drawn down into the roots. In order to achieve optimum combustion, the wood’s moisture level should not
exceed 18 %, which roughly corresponds to storing the wood under cover outdoors for one year. The
moisture level of the wood can be measured using a moisture meter or by applying washing up liquid to
one end of the log and blowing air in the other end. If the wood is dry enough, soap bubbles will appear.
The wood should be chopped into logs with a diameter of approx. 10 cm and a log length of max. 1 cm.
Correct firing provides optimal heat output and maximum economy. At the same time, correct firing
prevents environmental damage in the form of smoke and malodorous fumes and also reduces the risk of
chimney fires. Well seasoned wood fuel is essential for correct use. Make sure your fuel is kept dry. If the
fuel is wet, a large proportion of the heat will be used to vaporize the water, and this energy will
disappear up the chimney. It is clearly not only uneconomical to fire with wet fuel but also, as mentioned
above, increases the risk of producing soot, smoke and other environmentally damaging by-products.
Burning varnished wood, impregnated wood, chipboard, paper and other waste is strictly forbidden. Burning
these materials will damage the environment, the wood burning stove and your own health.

3.3 How do I light a fire in the wood burning stove?
The fire lighting method is very important for starting combustion quickly and efficiently.
1) Open the primary air intake/damper to the lower right of the ash drawer and open the secondary air
intake above the door. The primary damper is used at the start to get the fire going, while the
secondary air intake keeps the fire burning evenly. The secondary air intake is closed when the
damper is pushed all the way to the left and open when the damper is pushed to the right. To open
the primary air intake the damper should be pulled out. The illustration below shows the stove seen
from the front with the dampers indicated.
2) Place a log of wood crosswise in the combustion chamber and put 2 firelighters close to the log.
Light the firelighters and quickly put a new log close to the firelighters and several small logs at an
angle above it. Air must be able to reach the firelighters, but the logs should be touching to “warm”
each other.
3) Keep the door approx. 1 cm ajar, until the glass is too hot to touch. Then close the door. When there
are distinct, visible flames and the fire has taken hold, close the primary air intake/damper.
Important: The control handle will get warm when the wood burning stove is being used. Please use the
glove provided when you operate the wood burning stove.
3.4 The first time a fire is lit
The first few times the wood burning stove is used, there may be some smoke and unpleasant odours from
the wood burning stove, which is fairly normal. This is caused by the heat-resistant paint hardening. Make
sure there is sufficient ventilation during this stage. It is also important not to let the fire burn too fiercely the
first 2–3 times, so that the wood burning stove has time to expand slowly. You should also be aware that the
stove may make clicking sounds as it heats up and cools down – rather like pouring boiling water into a sink.
These are caused by the great differences in temperature to which the materials are being exposed.
During the first firing, which should be carried out using approximately 1 kg of wood, the stoking door must
be left slightly open and must not be closed until the stove is cold. This is to prevent the sealing rope sticking
to the stove.
3.5 How should I use my wood burning stove?
The wood burning stove is intended for intermittent combustion. This means that each stoking should burn
down to embers before new logs are added.
In order to obtain the best possible combustion, you should regulate the effect/heat output with the fuel.
Burning small logs provides more powerful combustion than burning large logs as the surface area is greater
and more gas is released. The amount of wood in the combustion chamber is another factor that affects
combustion. In normal circumstances, you should not place more than two logs in the stove. If you want an
enhanced effect, you can add more logs. The nominal heat output is reached by burning approx. 2.2 kg per
hour.
