ANNUAL MAINTENANCE

It is important that your fire is regularly serviced in
accordance with these instructions.  This should be
carried out at least annually by a qualified person
and should consist of the following.

Remove the firebricks lining and throat plate,
inspect all gasketing on doors, glass etc., and
re-order any items that may need replacing, from
your Aarrow dealer. With a wire brush clean inside
the appliance paying particular attention to the
small inlet holes of the air wash on the inside,
above the fire door and to the door. 

Sweep the chimney and confirm that it is sound.
Examine all joints in the flue pipe etc., and re-seal
if necessary. Reassemble and leave with the air
inlet and air wash control about half way open. This
will allow a free flow of air through the appliance
thus preventing moisture and condensation from
building up inside the fire and chimney.

CHIMNEY SWEEPING

Sweeping should be carried out with an appropriate
sized bristle brush and rods to suit chimney size and
type. As with all appliances regular sweeping of the flue
is essential to avoid the danger of blockage and the
escape of  poisonous fumes. Access for cleaning should
also be incorporated in the chimney (e.g. soot door or
access through register plate).

Any existing chimney should be swept prior to
installation of the appliance, and swept again a
second time 

within one month 

of regular use after

installation to establish frequency of sweeping
required. This should be done by a competent
person such as a NACS chimney engineer who will
provide a Certificate of Chimney Sweeping.

Sweep the whole flue way, including the outlet, at
least twice per burning season. It is important that
the flue ways, flue pipe and chimney be cleaned
prior to lighting the fire after a prolonged
shut-down period.

DOOR GLASS

The door glass should remain clear during normal
daytime burning. However under certain conditions-such
as burning at a low rate with damp wood, or overnight

burning, the glass may become somewhat blackened. To
remedy this, operate the appliance at a fast rate.
Alternatively when the stove is cold open the door and
clean the inside face of the glass with a damp cloth or
with glass cleaner  (available from fire stockists). Apiece
of cloth moistened with vinegar and dipped in wood ash

not coal ash

- will provide a good soft scourer to

remove the soot without scratching the glass.

OUTER FINISH

The outside finish of the appliance is a durable high
temperature paint. It is best cleaned by brushing
down with a clean shoe brush. Do not allow
moisture to remain on the appliance whilst cold or
surface rust may form.

The high temperature paint should not require
attention for some time, depending on use. The
hotter the fire burns the sooner repainting will be
necessary. Aerosol tins of paint are available for
complete refurbishing. Before repainting make sure
that the fire is out and is cold.
•Remove the door glass.
•Lightly wire brush, or rub with wire wool, the 

body of the appliance to remove any loose paint  
powder.

•Mask or remove items such as brass work.
•Any adjacent brickwork, mantelpiece, hearth, 

etc., should be carefully masked for quite a 
distance around the appliance. (this precaution is 

to prevent discolouration of the surrounding brick

work, wallpaper etc).

Re-spray in a well-ventilated area - avoid breathing
the vapour. Refer to safety instructions on paint
cans. 

•When the paint is dry refit door glass and any 

other parts previously removed.

•Leave the appliance for eight hours before

re-lighting. 

•Burn slowly for the first four hours, then build up 

heat gradually to cure the paint.

Note: Use only genuine Aarrow touch-up spray as
some paints interact. This could ruin the finish
and invalidate the guarantee.
