Recommended dimensions
The dimensions of the fuel are important to good combustion. The dimensions should be as follows:
Fuel type Length in cm Diameter in cm
Wood for kindling a re (nely chopped) 30-45 2-5
Chopped wood 30-45 7-9
Special re lighting guide for stoves with soapstone or sandstone cladding
Soapstone and sandstone are natural products which need to adjust to temperature changes. We
recommend following the procedure below:
1. The rst stoking
Open the door. Place two pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter) horizontally in the bottom of the combus-
tion compartment (corresponding to 1-1,5 kg). Place 6-10 pieces of kindling randomly on top. Place four
relighters between the top layer of kindling. Light up the re-lighters and close the stove door. Set the
temperature level to level 1. Let the re burn out and do not restoke even if there is a restoking alarm.
When the re has died out completely, the door must be opened and stay open while the stove cools
down to room temperature.
2. The second stoking
Open the door. Place two pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter) horizontally in the bottom of the combus-
tion compartment (corresponding to 1-1,5 kg). Place 6-10 pieces of kindling randomly on top. Place four
relighters between the top layer of kindling. Light up the re-lighters and close the stove door. Set the
temperature level to level 2. When there is a restoking alarm, you should restoke. Place 2 pieces of new
rewood (up to 1.2 kg each) with a diameter of approx. 7-9 cm in the combustion chamber. Let the re
burn and let the stove cool down to room temperature before the next lighting.
3. The third stoking
Repeat the second stoking, but use more wood this time. Set the temperature level to level 3. Let the
re burn and allow the stove to cool down after the re has died out.
Lighting Up
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 re in the top layers of kindling.
Open the door. Place two pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter) horizontally in the
bottom of the combustion compartment (corresponding to 1-1.5 kg). Place 6-10
pieces of kindling randomly on top. Place 4 re-lighters in between the top layers
of kindling. Light up the re-lighters and close the stove door. Select the desired
room temperature level.
When the door of the stove is opened the IHS system is activated. If lighting up does not occur within
15 minutes, the system will automatically go back to standby and the dampers will be closed.
If the ue gases do not reach a high enough temperature for kindling or ring, IHS Smart Control
TM
and
the wireless room temperature sensor emit a stoking alarm, even if there is still unburned wood and
ames in the combustion chamber. The stoking alarm is emitted to make you aware that the re needs
more energy. Restoking with small pieces of kindling wood can often provide a more rapid and sufcient
temperature rise.
HWAM Autopilot IHS
TM
closes all three air dampers when the stove is in standby mode. This prevents
hot air from the room to enter the chimney (heat loss). This might on the other hand result in a very
cold chimney when the stove is lit. In certain cases it is necessary to assist the draught in the chimney by
burning a couple of newspaper pages on top of the wood ready to be lit. Read more on www.hwam.com
about the function of the chimney.
