IMPORTANT INFORMATION
1 Warnings
Petroleum coke or Bituminous house coal must not be burned in this
appliance. The use of these fuels will invalidate the appliance guarantee.
Arada recommends the use of approved smokeless fuels which have been
deemed suitable for use on closed appliances, including multi fuel stoves. If
in doubt, contact The Solid Fuel Association, telephone: 0845 601 4406 / 01773
835400 or visit www.solidfuel.co.uk.
It is a legal requirement that the installation of all new or replacement wood
or solid fuel heating appliances obtain building control approval from your local
authority. This can also be done by using a qualified heating engineer, a ffiliated
to a government approved competent persons scheme.
A fireguard conforming to BS 8423:2002 should be used in the presence of
children or elderly people. Do not use aerosol sprays or any other flammable
materials near the appliance when in use.
Arada Ltd will not be responsible for any consequential or incidental loss or

1.2 Smoke control areas
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the
authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a
building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control area.
It is also an offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use within a smoke control area
unless it is used in an "exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which generally apply
in the smoke control area).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to
authorise smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in England.
In Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers in the devolved administrations for
those countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in
Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke
control areas have been "authorised" in Regulations and that appliances used to burn solid
fuel in those areas (other than "authorised" fuels) have been exempted by an Order made and
signed by the Secretary of State or Minister in the devolved administrations.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here:
www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules
Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including
designation and supervision of smoke control areas and you can contact them for details of
Clean Air Act requirements
The ECB5FPLUS SC, ECB7PLUS SC, i400-G2, i400 F-SCE, i500-G2, i600-G2, i600SLF-G2
and i750-G2 have been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when
burning wood.

2 Advice on fuel types
2.1 Wood
As a natural and renewable fuel, wood is the first choice for burning, however burning
wood requires a little effort and planning.
Any type of wood is suitable (though hardwood is preferable) provided it is well
seasoned and has a moisture content below 20%. We recommend that for general
burning, wood should be split into logs of no more than 100mm (4 inches) diameter.
If, when burning wood, you see signs of sticky tar inside the appliance or chimney, your
wood is ‘green’ or too wet and requires further seasoning. An electronic moisture meter
can be obtained in order to determine the moisture content of your wood fuel.
Paper will burn successfully. Burn dry paper only or chimney damage will occur.
2.2 Solid fuel
If you have chosen a multi/solid fuel stove this will have a cast iron riddling grate which
allows you to burn a wider variety of fuel types. It is important to ensure that your fuel is
intended for use in a stove, modern stoves are designed for use with current cleaner
burning and smokeless fuels.
Arada recommends the use of approved smokeless fuels which have been deemed
suitable for use on closed appliances including multi fuel stoves.
For additional advice on fuels, please refer to The Solid Fuel Association
(www.solidfuel.co.uk)
Wet wood, treated timber and builders waste must not be used as this will
greatly contribute to the creation of tar and creosote which may, in extreme
cases, run down the chimney in liquid form. This will seriously damage both
the chimney and the appliance and increase the risk of a chimney fire.

3 Before using your stove
Aarrow stoves are designed to be operated with the fire door(s) closed at all times, apart from
refuelling (when alight) or cleaning (when cold).
Never leave the appliance unattended for an extended length of time with the door(s) open.
Prior to lighting the stove for the first time, please check with the installer that:
Installation and all building work is complete. (Refer to the installation guide.)
The chimney is sound, has been swept and is free from obstruction.
Building Regulations and any local by-laws have been followed during installation.
All firebox liner panels and throat plate are in place.
The chimney draw has been checked and is within specification (between 0.1mb to 0.2mb,
or 10-20 pascals). This ensures your stove will operate predictably and efficiently.
A Carbon Monoxide detector is correctly installed in the same room as the appliance.
Ensure that you have read and understood these instructions before lighting the fire.
Our YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/user/aradastoves features a collection of videos
designed to help you get the best from your Aarrow stove.
Always wear suitable protective fire gloves when refuelling your stove, such as the Arada glove
supplied with your stove. Always keep the hot glove away from naked flames and sparks, when
re-fuelling the appliance.
We recommend that you light a small fire for the first few days of use to cure the paint and allow
the castings to relax. This is important because until properly cured the paint finish is fragile and
susceptible to damage. During this process the paint surface may smoke briefly, and you may
smell a slight odour. The vapour is harmless and should not be confused with fume emissions,
however, it is advisable to keep the area well ventilated until the vapour disperses.
You may hear your stove produce clicking or ticking noises whilst it heats up or cools down. This
is completely normal and is produced by the expansion and contraction of the steel components
in your stove when its temperature changes.

4 Air inlet controls
If you have an Aarrow iSeries stove please turn to section 4.2.1 on the following page for
information on how your air control system works and should be operated as it diff ers from the
information below.
Please note that Aarrow ECB5PLUS SC and ECB7PLUS SC stoves have a fixed primary
air control. The air supply for these models is regulated and supplied via the air
wash system and its associated control(s).
4.1 Location and operation of the controls
Your stove has two air inlet controls. These are located either on the stove body or the
stove door.
The primary air inlet provides under draught to the base of the fire chamber and the
airwash system (secondary air) provides overdraught and airwash jets.
The exact controls may diff er from those illustrated in this manual but will work in
the same way.
4.1.1 Primary air
Primary air enters the appliance through the inlets near to the bottom of the fire
door. Your stove has a control knob to adjust the flow of the primary air.
Sliding the knob to the right will increase the amount of air intake to the stove, as shown in
position 4 (in figure 1 above). To decrease, push the slider to the left, as shown in position
3 (in figure 1 above).
Figure 1: Single door stove air inlet controls
Page 9BK 690 Rev 01
Aarrow Stove User Guide
4.1.2 Airwash system / Secondary air
The airwash/secondary air inlet has an internal sliding plate with slots, housed inside in
cover plate, and is located either above or at the top of the fire door.
Sliding the control knob to the right as far as it will go, achieves the fully open position, see
position 2 (in figure 1 on previous page). Sliding it to the left will shut off the air inlet slots as
shown in position 1.
The air wash control for ECB5PLUS SC and ECB7PLUS SC cannot be fully closed.
This is to prevent shut down of the appliance.
4.2 i Series air controls
NOTE : For I Series inset models are fitted with a cover plate on the wood control to
restrict closure of this when burning wood. This is required for smoke control areas, and the
under air grate should be fully closed.
4.2.1 i Series—twin air control & Freestanding Stoves
The Aarrow i Series freestanding and I Series inset stoves features two air control sliders.
The slider on the right hand side is used when burning solid fuels, whereas the slider on the
left is used when burning wood. Keep the unused slider in the closed position except during
the lighting of the stove.
Figure 3 below illustrates the open and closed settings of the two air controls. Setting the
slider somewhere between the fully open and fully closed positions allows you to control the
burn rate for either fuels.

5 Lighting your stove
5.1 Smoke Control Zones
Please check the data plate before operating in a Smoke Control Zone to ensure it is a compliant
product, indicated by the letters ’SCE’ or just ’SC’ following the product name.
The ECB5PLUS SC, ECB7PLUS SC, i400-G2, i400 F-SCE, i500-G2, i600-G2, i600SLF-G2 and
i750-G2 have been recommended for burning wood in a smoke control area and are
manufactured with a modified air control to prevent full closure.
5.1.1 Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke
emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers
and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in
the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
5.1.2 Fuel overloading
Do not overload the appliance, this may lead to over firing which could lead to a chimney fire and
invalidate any guarantee on the product.
5.1.3 Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance MUST NOT be
operated with the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions. The I series
inset have second door latch position to enable the door to be held slightly open to provide
additional ait to assist lighting of the stove. Once the stove is alight the door must be fully closed.
5.2 Burning wood
When wood is burnt it is in fact the wood gas that burns and this requires a good supply of air
coming from above the fuel. For this reason we will use all the air inlets while igniting the stove,
but will then reduce this to air coming from the airwash system and over draught. As much as
40% of the heat from burning wood is obtained from secondary combustion and this can be
severely hampered by air entering the fire box from below the fuel via the primary air inlet control.
