2.3 Pipe connection
Aduro 13-1 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.
2.4 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 24 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?
Wood and woodbriquettes. 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. 35 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.
