Automatic Control
Brilliant solutions are often simple little details which
nevertheless make a huge difference in our everyday
lives. HWAM’s patented automatic system consists
of a small spring which automatically regulates the
supply of air to the combustion chamber. Simple,
convenient operation - The automatic system
optimizes the combustion for you. All you need to
do is to light up the stove and enjoy the fl ames and
the heat to the fullest. When you add more fi rewood,
the system will automatically readjust the stove to
achieve the optimum combustion.

The control arm starting point on a cold stove should
be 75° above horizontal. It should feel easy going and
bouncy when you push it. The damper plates must be
dry and clean and slide together easily. Control bars
and slide gates may be lubricated with WD40 (never oil).
Skamol
Skamol refractory plates are delivered in all HWAM wood-burning stoves. We recommend that you
treat the Skamol refractory plates with care because it is a delicate material (not covered by the limited
warranty). Small cracks may arise in the Skamol from minor water content, especially if the stove is
overheated during the fi rst fi re. These cracks do not infl uence the performance of the stove and are not
covered by the limited warranty.
Glass
The glass is a heat-resistant ceramic glass that can withstand continuous temperatures up to 1390°F
(754°C). This temperature is well above the temperatures at which you will operate your stove. This
stove is designed to provide a fl ow of air over the inside of the glass. This air combined with high
temperatures helps keep the glass optimally clean. When operating the stove on low for extended
periods of time, the glass may become dirty. A short, hot fi re will help clean off much of the normal soot
buildup (see section 5: Troubleshooting). In order to keep glass soot free, the moisture content of the
wood must be between 15 and 18%.
Smoke Detectors
HWAM strongly recommends installing smoke detectors throughout your home. However, do not install
them too close to the stove as the heat can activate them.
“Protected-Wall” Reduced Clearances
Local codes in some areas will allow reduced clearances when the stove is installed adjacent to a
protected wall system. Your local building offi cial must approve the variance. Check your local building
codes or with a qualifi ed installer.
