Product safety

Compliance

The stove is built in compliance with standard EN 14785, CE and Ecodesign 2022 is thereby approved for installation and use in Europe. Meanwhile, the manufacturing process is subject to external quality control.
DoC (Declaration of Conformity) can be downloaded at adurofire.com/download.

Safety warnings

We recommend that the installation and connection is carried out by an authorized service partner in compliance with local regulation, national and European standards and with the annexed installation instructions.
The combustion of waste, especially of plastic materials, damages the stove and the flue pipe.
Moreover, it is forbidden by the law against the emission of harmful substances.
Use only the fuel recommended by Aduro A/S. It is forbidden to use any liquid fuels and bioethanol fluids for lighting/rekindling pellets.
Do not introduce a greater amount of pellets into the stove than the amount recommended (see below).
It is forbidden to use the stove with the door open or the glass broken.
Do not use the stove as, for example, a clothes’ drying rack or bearing surface.
Do not install the stove in bathrooms.

The pellets to be used are the following:
You should only use Ø6 mm pellets with a maximum length of 30 mm conforming to certified class 1 standards according to ISO 17225-2 (DIN plus or EN plus 14961-2 A1 or PEFC / 04-31-0220 or ONORM M7135). We recommend that you use wood pellets of a good quality which break easily – and bright pellets rather than dark pellets, as dark pellets can have a negative impact on the noise level, energy efficiency and cleaning intervals of the stove. The humidity must not exceed 10% of the weight, while the ash content must be lower than 1% of the weight.

General safety precautions

ATTENTION! This stove operates exclusively on pellets; DO NOT USE OTHER FUELS: any other material that may be burnt will result in failure and malfunction of the stove.
The lid to the pellet container must always be closed during use.
Accumulated and unburned pellets in the brazier after “failed start-up” or alarms must be removed before lighting again. Check that the brazier is clean and positioned properly before lighting again.
Use the stove only as described in this manual. Any other use may cause fires or accidents to people.
Make sure that the electrical power available corresponds to the value indicated on the data plate (230V~/50Hz).
This stove can be used by children from age 15 years and older. Children must not play with the stove. Children should not carry out cleaning and maintenance without supervision.
People with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge can use the stove if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the stove in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Make sure children are not left unattended and do not use the stove as a toy.
Turn off the stove, disconnect it from the power supply and wait until it has cooled down completely before performing any maintenance operations. Pull the plug, not the cable.
Never block the combustion air inlets and flue outlets.
Since the stove is fitted with electrical components, do not touch it with wet hands.
Do not use the stove in case of damaged cables or plugs. Should the power supply cable be damaged, it can be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorised service partner.
Do not place any object on the cable and do not bend it.
ATTENTION! DO NOT TOUCH the FIRE DOOR, the GLASS, the HANDLE or the FLUE OUTLET DURING FUNCTIONING if not wearing adequate protective devices since they become extremely hot.
Keep inflammable materials, such as furniture, cushions, pillows, blankets, paper, clothing, curtains, etc., at least 70 cm away from the stove front and 40 cm from the stove sides.
Do not immerse the cable, plug or any other stove component in water or other liquids.
Do not use the stove in dusty environments or wherever inflammable vapours are generated (e.g. in a workshop or garage).
The stove is fitted with components that generate arcs and sparks. Do not install the stove in areas posing a significant fire or explosion hazard due to a high chemical substance concentration or to a high humidity level.
Do not use the stove close to bathtubs, showers, basins, sinks or swimming pools.
Do not install the stove underneath an air vent.
Do not install the stove outdoors.
Do not repair, disassemble, or modify the stove. The stove is not fitted with components that can be repaired by users.
Keep the pellets in a fresh, dry place: storing pellets in a place that is damp or excessively cold may reduce the stove’s potential heat output. Be careful when storing and handling pellet bags to prevent pellet crushing and consequent sawdust production.
The use of different types of pellets may result in a slight, sometimes even undetectable, change in the stove efficiency. This change can be counterbalanced by increasing or decreasing the stove’s heat output by only one step.
Clean the brazier on a regular basis upon every ignition or pellet refuelling.
Do not switch the stove on and off intermittently to avoid damaging its electrical and electronic components.
Do not use liquid fuels.
Use only original spare parts provided by Aduro A/S.
Avoid any improper transfers or knocks that may damage the structure or the components.
The stove is coated using high temperature paint. When using the stove for the first few times, unpleasant odours may be given off due to the paint curing: this is in no way dangerous and if it happens, simply ventilate the premises. After the first heating cycles, the paint will reach its maximum adhesion and all its chemical and physical features.
To reload the pellet container, simply open the access lid and pour in the pellets. This can also be done during normal operation. Make sure not to come into contact with hot parts.
Whenever the pellet container and the auger(s) become completely empty, the stove will be automatically switched off. Upon the next ignition, you must load pellets onto the auger (see 5.8).
We recommend that you install a smoke detector in the room where the stove is installed.
It is recommended to let the stove burn empty for pellets and clean it before a still stand period longer than 2 weeks – especially if the humidity is high.
A yearly service visit is obligatory and crucial to the functioning and safety of the stove (see 8.4).
ATTENTION! If the stove is not installed properly, power outages may result in fume spillages. Under specific circumstances, an uninterrupted power supply unit must be installed.

Aduro A/S declines all responsibility for any damage which may be caused, directly or indirectly, to persons, animals, or objects as due to non- compliance with any provision specified in the manual, especially warnings regarding installation, use, and maintenance of the stove.

The responsibility for improper use of the product is entirely borne by the user and relieves the manufacturer from any civil and criminal liability. Tampering or unauthorized replacement with non-original spare parts could be hazardous for the operator’s safety and relieves the company from any civil and criminal liability.

Installation of the stove

Installation

You are allowed to install the stove yourself but we strongly recommend that you consult your chimney sweeper before you begin the installation. It is important to ensure that the installation of the stove is in compliance with all local rules and regulations, including the ones relating to national and European standards. Your dealer can also provide you with installation advice. Remember, it is your responsibility that rules in force are complied with.

APPLIES TO UK INSTALLATION ONLY: To comply with UK building regulations an approved CO monitor should be installed in the same room as the appliance.

To ensure a clean and efficient combustion, the stove needs a constant uninterrupted air supply. This is often a problem in modern energy-efficient houses that are very airtight. The amount of air needed for combustion is 25 m3/h. This stove can be provided with combustion air through a channel from the outside which is connected to the connecting pipe behind the stove. See examples for the external air supply below.

If there are any problems with the functioning of the chimney, these must be solved before installing the stove.

When connecting the stove to the smoke drain and flue tubes, carefully check if all connections are sealed to make sure that no gasses escape to the room.

Position of the stove/distance requirements

Distance requirements will only apply if the stove is to be placed close to flammable materials. See the table and illustration below:

Distance to flammable material (see also illustration below)

Behind the stove| To the sides| To furniture| To the top
100 mm| 400 mm| 700 mm| 400 mm

To secure access to inspection openings and enough air for the combustion, there needs to be a distance of at least 10 cm to the wall behind and 40 cm to the side. You must be prepared to dismount the flue pipe and turn the stove during the yearly inspection and by maintenance.

If stove is to be placed close to flammable material such as a wooden floor or carpet it must be placed on a non-flammable base. The floor plate should extend for at least 30 cm in front of the stove and 15 cm on each side – measured from the combustion chamber opening.

The stove must be installed on a floor with the adequate load-bearing capacity. If the existing construction does not meet this requirement, appropriate adaptation measures must be taken (e.g. a load-distributing plate).

Flue pipe and chimney
The flue pipe is one of the key features for guaranteeing the proper functioning of the stove.

The stove is fitted with a Ø80mm round flue outlet and a joint connection to be connected to the flue pipe.
You must be able to clean all the pipes and corners. T-fittings and inspection doors should be used to make sure all parts of the flue pipe can be reached for cleaning purposes.
Use telescopic joint connections to connect the steel rigid flue pipe.
Seal the flue pipe joint connection with high temperature silicone sealant (1,000°C). Should the existing flue opening not be perfectly perpendicular to the firebox flue outlet, use an elbow to connect them. Inclination must never exceed 45°, with respect to the vertical axis. No constrictions.
The chimney must be insulated along its entire length. Thanks to the chimney insulation fume temperature will remain high optimizing draft, preventing condensation and reducing build-up of barely ignited particles along the flue pipe walls.
The flue pipe in the room can be uninsulated for maximum 200 cm.
The chimney must be weather-proof and as linear as possible.
The chimney flue must be CE marked according to EN1443.
The optimum combustion is achieved at a constant chimney draft of 10-14 Pascal (Pa) measured in the flue pipe above the stove.

Flexible metal pipes may not be used.
Examples of flue pipes:

Draft
Fumes heat up during combustion, increasing their volume. Their density is therefore lower than the one of the surrounding colder air.
This difference between the inside and outside temperatures of the chimney results in the chimney draft.

The draft must be stronger than the fume circulation resistance so that all exhaust fumes generated during combustion inside the stove are drawn upwards through the outlet and the flue pipe. Many weather conditions affect the vent pipe functioning, such as rain, fog, snow, and wind being the most important as it can create negative pressure.

Using the stove

Control

The stove can be operated with the remote control, Aduro pellet stove app or the most basic functions via the control panel on the side of the stove.

Ensure that the stove is connected to a power source and to the chimney. We recommend using the remote for the initial start and setup of the stove.

Remote control

The remote shows basic information about the stove’s operation and has 5 buttons for various settings (see illustration below).

Room temperature setting, change menu
Heat level setting, change menu
Back, exit
Confirm, menu
ON/OFF, exit

You can define the desired room temperature and/or the heat level (1-5), at which the stove should start.

Temperature control
Push the “+” button to select the room temperature setting and use the buttons “+” and “–“ to increase or decrease the temperature. Then hold the “ON/OFF” button to turn on the stove. Now, use the “–” button to select the heat level. The higher the heat level, the faster the desired temperature will be reached. Once the temperature is reached, the stove will regulate the heat level up and down automatically to maintain the chosen temperature.
When the stove is running by room temperature, it will automatically use the temperature sensor placed on the lower back part of the stove. The remote control also contains a temperature sensor that can be used instead. Using the sensor on the remote makes it possible to read the room temperature further away from the stove and it thus gives a more accurate reading. The sensor on the remote is activated via the remote by choosing OK -> USER SETTINGS -> CHOOSE PROBE -> ON BOARD (on stove) / REMOTE (on remote).
If it is desired to run the stove at a fixed heat level without temperature control, set the temperature at for instance 10° higher than the room temperature and then set the stove at the desired heat level.

Control panel

The control panel is located on the side of the stove and is used for controlling the basic functions of the stove.

ON/OFF BUTTON. Hold the button, and the stove will switch on/off.
HEAT LEVEL BUTTON. Press the button to increase/decrease the heat level.

Pairing the stove with the remote control
The remote is already paired with the stove upon delivery. If the remote does not automatically connect to the stove, please use the following guide:

Make sure your stove is plugged in.
On the remote control, press the buttons “OK” and “ON/OFF” until the radio id menu appears.
At this point press the button “–“. The word “NEW” appears on the screen.
Press the button “OK” and select the desired channel number (+ and – buttons).
Press the buttons 1 and 2 on the emergency control panel until all the LEDs begin to flash.
At this point press the button “OK” on remote control to confirm the pairing.

Wi-Fi connection
To connect to Wi-Fi, it is necessary to download the Aduro Pellet Stove app, which is available
in Google Play and in App Store. Then, follow the guidelines for establishing Wi-Fi connection
on our website: adurofire.com/aduro-pellet-stoves/frequently-asked- questions/

If you experience problems with getting the stove online, it may be due to your local Wi-Fi network, your router, or the telephone setup. It is not Aduro’s responsibility to ensure connection. Some of our dealers offer the service to connect the stove to Wi-Fi.

Aduro Pellet Stove App

When you have set up the stove with the Aduro Pellet Stove app, you can start the stove (press the gear icon) and choose “run by heat level” “room temperature” or “calendar”. Setting up the calendar is performed on the remote.

Initial pellet load
After filling the pellet container with pellets for the first time, the auger needs to be filled with pellets. Move the brazier so you can see the top of the internal auger. Close the door so the door sensor is activated and use the menu INITIAL LOAD on the remote, and press ”+” to start the augers for 6 minutes. Push STOP INITIAL LOAD when the first pellets are visible at the top of the auger. The first time it may be necessary to run INITIAL LOAD a couple of times (10-12 minutes).

Whenever the pellet container runs empty during operation, ALARM 6 will appear on the display (see also Potential Errors) and it may be necessary to run INITIAL LOAD again.

Turning the stove on and off
Accumulated and unburned pellets in the brazier must be removed before lighting the stove. Check that the brazier is clean and positioned properly before lighting.
Start the stove via the app or by pressing the “ON/OFF” button on the remote or on the control panel.
As soon as the exhaust gases have reached a temperature of 80°C, the current status will switch to WORK.
Turn off the stove via the app or press and hold the “ON/OFF” button until the status switches to FINAL CLEANING on the remote or the control panel.

The pellet loading will stop immediately while more air will circulate through the combustion chamber in order to clean the brazier. This process will take 10-20 minutes.

Call an authorised technician to check the flue pipe and chimney.

Error caused by a faulty auger motor
The display will show the message ALARM B TRIAC COC FAILURE.
This error occurs if the external auger turns continuously (for more than 60 seconds).
The external gear motor must be replaced, and the motherboard checked. Call technical assistance if necessary.

Cleaning and maintenance

All maintenance and cleaning of the stove should be carried out when the stove is cold, and the power is disconnected.

Before using an ash vacuum cleaner, make sure there are no embers left.

General maintenance

Glass
Soot and dust can easily be removed using a damp cloth that you dip in cold ash and rub on the sooty glass.
Special cleaning agents are also available to remove soot from the glass, e.g. the Aduro Easy Clean pad.
The pad neither scratches nor damages the glass, and it can be used multiple times. Water or other cleaning agents are not necessary.

It is common maintenance to tighten the glass fittings shortly after the stove has been installed as well as to check if the gaskets are properly placed.

Gaskets
With time, gaskets around glass, door, and brazier will wear. We recommend that you inspect them regularly.
If leakages appear, they must be replaced.

Flue pipe
Annual cleaning of the flue pipe is essential as dust may cover the pipes – especially the horizontal ones.
Use the inspection doors and T-fittings to reach all parts of the flue pipe.
Make sure that the dust released from the pipe during chimney sweeping does not reach and contaminate the exhaust fan.

After the last use before a longer period of inactivity, make sure to:

Clean the stove properly
Remove any remaining pellets from the pellet container
Completely empty the auger for pellets
Unplug the power cable

Daily and monthly cleaning/maintenance

Daily
Clean the brazier thoroughly to avoid residues of ashes and partly burnt pellets.
We recommend emptying the ash tray and to vacuum clean the combustion chamber and the door (around the gaskets) on a daily basis. Upon every ignition, the brazier must be checked for ashes and unburnt/partly burnt pellets must be removed.

Weekly
Remove the brazier and clean the top auger for ashes with a vacuum cleaner. Clean the air pathway for electrical igniter for ash and cinders that might be covering the hole placed on the left side of the tube under the brazier e.g., using a small, straight screwdriver.

Monthly or depending on use

Every month, remove the vermiculite stones in the combustion chamber. Open the inspection openings in the back wall and bottom and clean the smoke way and ventilators/ smoke fan with a vacuum cleaner. After cleaning, close openings, and reinstall the vermiculite plates.

The frequency of cleaning periods depends on the combustion. The better the combustion, the less residues will settle in the combustion chamber, the air channels and flue pipes.

Surface maintenance
The stove is painted with a heat resistant paint that can withstand temperatures up to 500 degrees. If the surface of the stove gets scratched or worn, it can easily be renewed using this type of paint. The paint is available in black metallic at aduroshop.com.

Yearly maintenance
The pellet stove must be inspected within the first year by an Aduro certified professional for cleaning and adjustment. Hereafter, maintenance must be conducted every year from the date of the latest service visit. You are responsible for covering the cost of this yourself.

Spare parts and unauthorized alterations
You may only use original spare parts for your stove. All forms of unauthorized alterations to the stove are strictly forbidden, as the stove will no longer comply with the approved specifications. At aduroshop.com you can buy original spare parts for your stove.

Accessories

For Aduro stoves we offer a wide product range of accessories to fulfil the experience: floor hearths in glass and steel, ash vacuum cleaner, pellet pliers, firewood baskets with pellet inserts, flue pipes and Aduro Easy Clean pads. For further information, go to adurofire.com/accessories.

Right of complaint

The right to complain applies in accordance with the sales act in the country where the stove was purchased.
The dated receipt will be sufficient proof.

All pellet stoves may require adjustment of the combustion air and the speed of the augers in order to optimize the function and to reach an effective and clean combustion. Aduro and our service partners can monitor and adjust your hybrid stove on Aduro Cloud. However, this is only possible if the stove is connected to the cloud via Wi-Fi. This happens as you set up the Aduro Hybrid app.
