Aarrow Stove User Guide
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.
