Rapid or fierce heat

Rapid or fierce heat is obtained by burning many small pieces of wood.

Maximum amounts of fuel:

The maximum allowed amount of fuel per hour is: 
Wood: 2.4 kg
If these limits are exceeded, the stove will no longer be covered by the factory guarantee, and it may 
also become damaged due to excessive heat, the glass may turn white, for example.. The stove has been 
approved for intermittent use.

Typical re-firing interval at nominel performance

Wood: 45 min (1,03 kg)

Prolonged burning time

The longest burning time is achieved by pushing the air control lever to the leftmost position when the 
flames are about to die. This will ensure the longest period with embers. When adding new firewood, 
always remember to check that the wood has caught fire properly. If not, the air supply must be increased 
by pushing the air control lever to the right.

For the slowest possible combustion, turn the regulator counter-clockwise (to the left). By turning the 
regulator all the way to the left, the stove receives no primary air (the air that comes through the grate). 
The stove cannot be lit after a new firing without the regulator being turned to the right, which allows 
primary air to enter the unit.

Insufficient firing

If the fireproof materials in the combustion chamber are blackened after a fire, then the stove is polluting, 
and the HWAM

®

 Autopilot™ system is malfunctioning. Therefore, more air must be supplied by pushing 

the air control lever to the right. It may also be necessary to burn more wood.

How to achieve the best combustion
•  Use clean and dry wood 

  Wet wood results in inefficient combustion, plenty of smoke, and soot. Furthermore, the heat will dry 

the wood, not heat up the room.

•   The fire should only be stoked with a little wood at a time

  You achieve the best combustion by starting up a fire often and using only a little wood. If you use 

too much firewood, it will take some time before the temperature reaches a level where you achieve 
a good combustion. 

•   Make sure there is the right amount of air 

  You should also make sure that there is plenty of air – especially in the beginning - so the temperature 

in the wood burning stove climbs quickly. In this way the gasses and particles released during the 
combustion will be consumed by the fire. Otherwise they build up soot in the chimney (constituting 
a chimney fire risk) or will be released in a non-combusted state into the environment. The wrong 
amount of air supply creates inefficient combustion and a modest effect.

•   Don’t savour the fire during night time

  We advise against adding fire wood to your stove and reducing the air supply at night in an attempt to still 

have some embers left in the morning. If you do so, large amounts of hazardous smoke will be emitted, and 
your chimney will be exposed to unnecessarily large amounts of soot with the risk of a chimney fire.
