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 baffle 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 and overheating, the HWAM Autopilot IHS
automatically adjust all dampers, effectively quenching the fire. Do not open the stove door, since that
might cause the fire to rekindle. Contact the fire brigade. After a fire, the stove should be checked by a
chimney sweep before use.
F
iring MAnuAl
When you light the stove for the first time it should not be stoked excessively as all the materials must
be given time to adapt to the effects of heat. The lacquer will be fully hardened after the stove has been
used, and the door and the ashpan should be opened very carefully as there will otherwise be a risk that
the gaskets will stick to the lacquer. In addition the lacquer may initially give off an unpleasant odour, so
make sure that the room is well ventilated.
Tips about fuel
Approved fuel types
The wood burning stove is EN approved for combustion of wood only. It is recommended to use dried
chopped wood with a water content of a maximum of 18%. Stoking a fire with wet wood results in soot,
environmental problems, and a less efficient fuel economy.
Recommended wood types
All types of wood, for instance birch, beech, oak, elm, ash, conifers, and fruit trees can be used as fuel
in your wood burning stove. The great difference is not in the fuel value, but in the weight of the wood
types per cubic metre. Since beech weighs more per cubic metre than for instance common spruce, it
will take more common spruce to produce the same amount of heat that you would get from a cubic
metre of beech.
Banned fuel types
It is not allowed to stoke a fire with the following: printed matter, plywood, plastic, rubber, fluid fuels,
and rubbish such as milk cartons, lacquered wood or impregnated wood and fossil fuels. The reason that
you should not apply any of the above is that during combustion they develop substances that are health
hazardous and harmful to the environment. These substances could also damage your wood burning stove
and chimney, rendering the product warranty void.
Storage of wood
The wood's water content of a maximum of 18% is reached by storing the wood for a minimum of one
year, preferably outdoors in an open shed exposed to sun and wind.
The wood must be dry (max. 18% water contents) before it is stored indoors. It is recommended that
kindling wood is stored indoors for a couple of days prior to use.
Recommended dimensions
The dimensions of the fuel are important to good combustion. The dimensions should be as follows:
