Regulating the insert (Drawing E)
The air control lever (1) is located behind the glass. The HWAM
® Autopilot™
is set to maximum when the
air control lever is set to the rightmost position, and minimum when the bar is set to the leftmost position.
Lightning the insert
A successful combustion process requires that the wood is lit in the right way. A cold insert and a cold
chimney challenge the combustion process. Be careful to make a good lighting with suitably dry wood,
using kindling and lighting the fire in the top layers of kindling. It is important to achieve a high flue gas
temperature quickly.
Push the air control lever all the way to the right to set the HWAM ® Autopilot™
to maximum effect. Put split kindling, corresponding to two to three pieces of
wood (about 2 kg), into the insert. Put two fire lighters in between the upper layer
of kindling. Light them and allow the flames to spread slowly. Keep the door ajar
until no more condensation forms on the glass (for a maximum of 5 min.). Close
the door. When the kindling is burning well, push the output regulating rod into
middle position. If the fire goes out, this has been done too early. Push the regulating rod to the right
again until the fire is burning properly. Allow the kindling to burn out until flames are no longer visible.
Important! The door may only be opened when lighting the insert, adding fuel to the fire or removing ash.
Stoking
When there are no more visible yellow flames, and a right ember is there, you can fire again. The layer
of embers is suitable when the pieces of wood begin to disintegrate and the bottom of the insert is cov-
ered by embers. Put two or three pieces of wood weighing up to 1 kg each into the insert. The HWAM
®
Autopilot™ manages the regulation of air supply.
The temperature can, however, be set up or down by pushing the regulation bar either to the right or
left, respectively. If the air control lever is set farther to the left, combustion is reduced and the burning
time is prolonged. By pushing it to the right, combustion is increased and burning time is shortened. Do
not add new firewood to the fire until the layer of embers is sufficiently low.
When burning is complete
When the insert is not in use, turn the air control lever all the way to the left.
Cleaning the glass
We recommend wiping the glass after a fire. This is best done using a paper towel.
Fuelling with coal or pet coke
The insert is not approved to use coal or pet coke as a fuel.
