Lighting Your Stove Properly!
A proper lighting is best done with - kg. of firewood chopped
into - rather small pieces.
Then add - pieces of fine kindling wood, and on top of it all,
place a couple of fire-lighters. Light up the firelighters and close
the door.

Your new HWAM® SmartStove™ closes all valves when not in use to prevent hot air from
being sucked into the chimney and out into the open (loss of energy). A conventional
wood-burning stove has constantly open valves, and you would be surprised to know the
amount of hot air slipping out of the house.
For the HWAM® SmartStove™, this valve function comprises the challenge that, at each new
lighting, you will always start out with a cold chimney - pay attention to this. It requires extra
rapid heating of the stove and chimney when lighting the stove.
The HWAM® SmartControl™ starts when the combustion chamber door is opened. The
HWAM® SmartControl™ has a cold start-up program requiring that the operating temperature
is reached within min. If the heat-up is too slow, the app will ask for more firewood. This
may seem illogical when there is both firewood and flames in the stove, but as long as the
proper operating temperature has not been reached, the stove does not burn environmen-
tally clean, and, therefore, the temperature has to be reached fast. The reasons for a slow
rise in temperature may be: insucient draught in an ancient brick chimney, damp firewood,
too large firewood pieces, or insucient firewood/kindling wood.
