Should these limits be exceeded, the insert will no longer be covered by the factory guarantee, 

and it may be damaged due to excessive heat. The stove has been approved for intermittent use.

Prolonged burning time 

Prolong the burning time by burning a few (at least 2) very large pieces wood whilst at the same time 
regulating the damper down.

Insufficient firing 

If the fireproof materials in the combustion chamber are blackened after a heating session, the insert is 
polluting, and the HWAM

®

 Autopilot™ is not functioning properly. The bar must therefore be pushed to 

the right. Also, it may 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 insert 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.
