Warnings and safety precautions
Remember that safety is first priority, and therefore the stove must be used with care and respect. Do not use the stove before the following warnings have been read:

Examine local legislation before using the stove.
Never change the construction of the bioethanol burner.
Always place the bio stove in a well-ventilated, draft-free room. The room should have a minimum of 80 m3.
Bioethanol is a hazardous material with hazard level UN1987, level 3.
Bioethanol is extremely flammable and must be handled with care.
Never place anything on top of the stove.
Never move the stove while in use.
Never leave the stove unattended and keep children and pets at a safe distance.
Outer surfaces and materials near the burner become hot when the stove is in use.
Only use bioethanol intended for bio stoves. We recommend using bioethanol with 93-96.5 %.
Bioethanol should be stored in a safe location, away from fire and out of reach of children and pets.
Any stove featuring naked flames or using flammable liquids has a potential risk of burns or injury.
Never overfill the burner with bioethanol. The bioethanol must be completely absorbed in the ceramic material in the burner and must never exceed the arrows which indicate the maximum fuel level. Lighting an overfilled burner is unsafe.
Remove the burner from the bio stove when filling with bioethanol. If the bioethanol burner is overfilled or bioethanol is spilt, the excess bioethanol should be removed before ignition. Spilt bioethanol can be removed with an absorbent cloth before ignition.
Avoid physical contact with the bioethanol.

Installation of the stove

You can install the stove yourself. Aduro Bio stoves are easy to mount, and no chimney is required. You can use the stove both indoors and outdoors. However, be aware that the stove is not rust protected and must therefore be moved inside when the stove is cold. If stored outdoors, corrosion on the stove will occur.

Position of the stove and distance requirements
If the stove is placed near combustible material, specific distance requirements apply. See table and illustrations below:

Distance to combustible material| Mounted on foot/legs| Mounted on wall bracket
---|---|---
Behind the stove (A)| 2 cm| –
To the sides (B)| 15 cm| 15 cm
In front of the stove (C)| 75 cm| 75 cm
Above the stove (D)| 20 cm| 20 cm

If the stove is being wall-mounted, it can only be mounted on a non-flammable wall. If the stove is placed on the metal foot, it should be placed on a non- flammable material. If the stove is positioned against a brick wall or other non-flammable material, there are no minimum distance requirements.
The stove must be installed on a floor/wall/material with an adequate load- bearing capacity. Make sure that the bio stove is installed in level, both horizontally and vertically. Do not place the stove in a room with a constant high humidity level. The room must be well-ventilated and should have a minimum of 80 m3.

Mounting options
The Aduro Bio stoves can be mounted on wooden legs, a metal foot, or hung on the wall. See the back of this manual for installation instructions.

Wall-mounted stove
If the stove is to be mounted on the wall, it must be installed on a non- flammable wall. The wall bracket must be properly mounted to the wall before mounting the stove (find instructions for mounting the bracket at the back of this user manual). You may consult your normal supplier of building materials about suitable attachment materials for the stove/wall before the mounting. ONLY USE FIXING MATERIALS WHICH CANNOT MELT.

The lower edge of the stove must be minimum 15 cm above the floor.

Mounting

Mounting the stove on wooden legs

Assemble the legs by attaching each leg to the frame. Tighten the screws from the inside of the leg and tighten the nuts on the screws from the outside.
Place the stove on the legs and secure by tightening the screw.

Mounting the stove on metal foot

Place the stove on the metal foot.
Tighten the screw to secure the stove.

Wall-mounting the stove

Mount the wall bracket to the wall:
Remove the stove’s backplate:
Attach the stove to the wall bracket:
Secure the stove to the wall bracket with the screw under the bottom:

PLEASE NOTE: If the stove is placed close to a wall at the side of the stove, the stove must be mounted with a minimum distance of 300 mm due to the movement of the side glass:

Firing in the bio stove

Important safety information

Never ignite the stove if it is filled past the “MAX” fuel sign.
The stove gets hot during use and therefore it should be treated with all necessary caution.
Do not keep bioethanol and other easily combustible fluids near the stove.
The room must be well-ventilated, draft-free, and should have a minimum volume of 80 m3.
Do not place anything on top of the stove while it is in use.
Do not cover up ventilation grids in the front and in the back of the stove.
Do not place ceramic decoration logs, stones, or other things inside the stove. The flames must not touch decorative material.
Never leave the stove unattended when in use.
Keep children and pets at a safe distance.
Use of several stoves is only allowed if the power output is equal or lower than 4.5 kW/h. An additional ventilation of the room is then required.
The stove is not suitable for continuous operation.

Filling
Before filling the stove, the burner must be cooled down. The burner must not be removed from the stove until the temperature is below 40 degrees, meaning that the temperature indicator is in the blue area. When the stove is too hot, the temperature indicator will be in the red area and the spring blocks the attachment of the Aduro funnel:

Follow this procedure when filling:

Make sure that the stove is turned off and that the temperature indicator is in the blue area.
Remove the burner from the stove to fill it with bioethanol wherever you store it (safe location). Depending on the type of stove you have, follow the steps below to remove the burner:
- Applies to Aduro B1:
- Slide the front glass to the side. The integrated handle will now tilt upwards by 10 degrees:
- Raise the handle fully, lift the burner and remove it from the stove with one hand as shown below. When the handle is fully raised, the latch for the burner will automatically cover the burner opening.
- Applies to Aduro B2:
- Raise the handle fully, lift the burner and remove it from the stove with one hand as shown below. When the handle is fully raised, the latch for the burner will automatically cover the burner opening.
Fold the burner handle back down and use the Aduro handle to pull the slider back to open the burner:
Place the Aduro funnel as shown in illustration 1 above and fill with bioethanol in accordance with these safety instructions:
- Use good quality bioethanol. See section 3.4.
- The stove has a fuel capacity of 1,20 litres. However, we recommend that you fill the burner with 1 litre of bioethanol. If you buy bottles larger than 1 litre, we recommend that you use a 1 litre jug to fill the stove as they are easier to handle.
- Pour bioethanol in both sides of the burner opening.
- Pour slowly to avoid overfilling and spilling. If you do spill, clean up immediately and don’t light the stove until the area is dry. See section 3.1.1.
- Do not exceeded the MAX fuel level with bioethanol.
Remove the Aduro funnel.
To return the burner to the stove, place your hand under the burner handle and lift it fully upwards. The burner is filled with ceramic fibres that absorb the bioethanol like a sponge, preventing it from spilling on the floor when you carry the burner.
Place the burner in the stove and use the Aduro handle to pull the slider back and open the burner. See illustration 5 above.
You can now light the stove. See section 3.2.

Never overfill the burner. The fuel must be completely absorbed by the ceramic material. It is dangerous to light the stove with too much fuel.

Overfilling the burner

If the burner is accidentally overfilled, do not return it to the stove. Follow one of the instructions below:
Option 1: The burner is overfilled (above the MAX level) but not completely over the edge of the burner:

Spilled bioethanol can be removed with an absorbent cloth until the fibres in the burner can absorb all the liquid again.
Wipe off any excess fuel that may have dripped on the outside of the burner and allow any remaining fuel to evaporate.
Leave the burner to stand for 1 hour.
You can now return the burner to the stove.

Option 2: The burner is overfilled (above the MAX level) and the bioethanol flows outside the burner:

Empty the excess fuel into a suitable container.
Wipe off any excess fuel that may have dripped on the outside of the burner during emptying and allow any remaining fuel to evaporate.
Leave the burner to stand for 1 hour.
You can now return the burner to the stove.

Igniting the stove
Before lighting the stove, always make sure that no bioethanol fuel has spilled into the outer tray of the burner (look through the hole in the front of the stove or through the holes next to the burner) and remove any spilled fuel. See section 3.1.1.
Ensure that the burner is cold and that the latch for the burning area is fully open. When relighting the stove, make sure that the temperature is below 40 degrees C, i.e. that the temperature indicator is in the blue range.
Use the Aduro handle to open and close the burner opening and to avoid injury. See illustration below for use.

Always use a long lighter to light the stove so that your hands are not directly over the burning area. Ignite the fibres in the burner.

The flame size is not adjustable. The full flame will appear within 10-15 minutes of ignition.

Stay at least 1 metre away from the stove when it is in use.

To switch off the stove, close the latch all the way and make sure the flame goes out. See illustration below. Do not open the latch for 3 minutes after closing it. This will allow time for the flame inside the burner to completely extinguish. Always ensure that the stove is switched off and the latch is closed before leaving the room.

Applies to Aduro B1:
Aduro B1 has a ceramic glass door on the front which gets warm during use. Please open and close the door as shown below:

Emergency extinguish instructions
In case of fire, place a fire blanket over the burner, and leave it there for at least 30 seconds before removing it again. If you do not have access to a fire blanket, you can use an ordinary towel soaked in water.

Recommended fuels
Only use bioethanol with the UN:1170 label, which is recommended for bioethanol burners. We recommend the use of 93-96.5% bioethanol fuel. Be aware that there are products on the market that contain oil and petroleum. These CANNOT be used in Aduro bio stoves.
Bioethanol is a hazardous material with UN1987 hazard level 3. It is highly flammable and must be handled with care. Bioethanol should be stored in a safe place, away from fire and out of the reach of children and pets.

Cleaning and maintenance

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

Aduro Bio stoves do not require much cleaning or maintenance. However, there are a few of things that should be checked regularly.

The burner
Check the burner regularly for signs of deformation or leaks. Ensure that the burner is empty of fuel before cleaning. Do not clean the burner with water or put in a dishwasher.
The burner may discolour over time. This is a natural reaction to the high heat generated. It can be removed by using an approved stainless steel cleaner. Simply rub in the direction of the “grain” of the steel. You can also use the Aduro Easy Clean cleaning pad.
Always ensure that the burner is dry after cleaning before lighting the stove.

The bimetallic spring
Regularly check that the bimetallic spring is working properly and that the arrow/temperature indicator is always in the red area when the stove is so hot that you cannot put your hand in the area of the flame opening (temperature is above 40 degrees C).

The stove’s surface
Check the stove regularly for any signs of deformation or leaks.
Temporary discolouration may occur on the surface of the stove. This is harmless residue from the combustion of the bioethanol fuel and can be removed with a non-scratching scouring pad and washing-up liquid.

Never use chemicals, steel wool, or abrasive cleaners, as these can scratch the surface.

Glass
Use the Aduro Easy Clean or Aduro Glass Cleaner to clean the glass.
