1 Warnings

Pure 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 HETAS 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

be done by using a qualified heating engineer, affiliated to

a government approved competent persons scheme such

as operated by HETAS. If in doubt, contact HETAS Limited,

telephone: 0845 634 5626 or visit www.hetas.co.uk.

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 injury however caused.

Any manufacturer's instructions must not be taken as

overriding statutory requirements.

Any further warnings in this document will be

marked out in a box such as this one. Ignoring the

warnings could lead to damage/injury to persons

and/or property.

1.1 Health and Safety

Please consult health and safety guidelines for advice on

handling heavy and/or large items.

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%. This usually implies that the timber has been suitably stored

to allow moisture to evaporate for at least 9 months in the case

of soft wood, and at least 24 months in the case of hard wood.

We recommend that for general burning, wood should be split

into logs of no more than 100mm (4”) 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.

Wet wood 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.

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 HETAS approved smokeless

fuels which have been deemed suitable for use on closed

appliances including multi fuel stoves, these are:

•Anthracite

•Ancit™

•Coalite

Newflame™

•Homefire™

•Homefire

Ecoal™

•Homefire

Coals™

•Maxibrite™

•Phurnacite™

•Pureheat™

•Supertherm™

•Sunbrite™

•Taybrite™

For additional advice on fuels, please refer to The Solid Fuel

Association (www.solidfuel.co.uk) or HETAS (www.hetas.co.uk).

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.)

BK530 Rev08 3

Aarrow Stove User 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/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.

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. During

this process the paint surface may smoke briefly, and you smell a

slight odour for an hour or so. 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 ‘click’ or ‘tick’ 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 differs from the information

below

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 differ from

those illustrated in this manual but will work in the same way.

Figure1: Single door stove air inlet controls.

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.
