INTRODUCTION

SAFETY

A fireguard conforming to BS 8423: 2002 should
be used in the presence of children and old/or
infirm people. If the appliance is used with the fire
door open, a spark guard conforming to BS 3248
should be fitted.

Do not use aerosol sprays or any other flame
near the appliance under fire.
Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as
the appliance.
Fire cement is caustic, hand and eye protection
should always be worn, prolonged contact with
the skin should be avoided.
Arada Ltd will not be responsible for any conse-
quential or incidental loss or injury however
caused.

Before continuing any further with the installation
of this appliance please read the following guide to
manual handling.

•Always obtain assistance when lifting the
appliance.
•When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend
your legs not your back.
•Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to
reposition your feet.
•Avoid upper body/top heavy bending. Do not     
lean forwards or sideways when handling the fire.
•Always grip with the palms of your hands.Do not
use fingertips for support.
•Always keep the stove as close to the body as
possible. This will minimise the cantilever action.
•Use gloves to provide additional grip.  

THE PRINCIPLE OF THE FIRE

Your Aarrow Fire is built to the highest standard of
craftsmanship using the best materials and the most
modern equipment available. It is a highly efficient
and sophisticated piece of machinery and when
properly installed and operated it should provide a
lifetime of heating satisfaction.

Safety

is the most important consideration when

installing your fire. If not properly installed and
operated a house fire may result. Installation must
comply with the Building Regulations and conform
to all relevant fire safety standards.

Aarrow Fires produce a variety of appliances
ranging from units, which are traditional in style to
stoves which are modern in appearance, all
bristling with "High Tech" features.

Model types include simple room heaters,
convectors, integral boiler models and inset units.
Your Aarrow Fire is constructed from either single
or twin wall steel strengthened where necessary.
Cast iron is used where appropriate for long life.

All fire doors are fitted with special high
temperature ceramic glass panels through which
the fire can be viewed.

Multifuel stoves are fitted with a cast iron grate to
give full multifuel facility and positive de-ashing. 

All models except integral boiler models are lined
with firebricks or heat reflective panels which
ensure complete combustion and provide a good
heat store to even out fluctuations in burning.

An internal throat plate produces turbulence to
encourage secondary combustion and directs the
flue gas around the whole upper firebox before
allowing it to escape up the chimney.
On multifuel appliances the primary air for burning
enters the ash pit chamber beneath the grate,
controlled by the air inlet mechanism.  

Aarrow Fires are also fitted with an "air wash" so
called because it provides a curtain of high speed
preheated air behind the glass to help keep it clean
and to provide secondary air/over draught.

The provision of two inlets on all multifuel stoves
gives a wide range of primary air/secondary air,
under draught/over draught combinations. The
optimum settings will only be established by
experience in firing the appliance, and will depend
on type of fuel, the   position of the appliance in the
house, condition of chimney etc.
