Opening and closing the door

Always hold the handle in the middle when opening and closing the door to avoid putting uneven pres-
sure on the door lift mechanism.
Please note that it is important not to let go of the handle when opening and closing the door. The glass 
could be damaged if the door is allowed to open or close on its own.

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 stove

A successful combustion process requires that the wood is lit in the right way. A cold stove 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 stove 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 stove is not approved to use coal or pet coke as a fuel.
