That the chimney draw has been checked
and is within specification. With the chimney
warm, the draught should be between 1-2
mm water gauge or 0.1 to 0.2 mbar.
A Carbon Monoxide detector is correctly
installed in the same room as the appliance.
WARNING:
An over drawing chimney can
cause over firing, resulting in damage to the
appliance.
Ensure that you have read and understood
these instructions before lighting the fire.
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. It is normal to
experience some odours whilst the paint cures.
These are non-toxic and temporary.
AIR INLET CONTROLS
Your stove has two air inlet controls. These are
located either on the stove body or the door.
The primary air inlet provides under draught to
the base of the fire chamber and the
airwash system (secondary air) provides
overdraught.
The exact controls may differ from
those illustrated in this manual but will work in
the same way.
PRIMARY AIR
Air enters the appliance through the control
on the bottom of the door. Your stove will have
either one or two control knobs (depending on
the model) which slide left to right. Opening
this / these air inlet(s) will increase the amount
of air intake to the stove. Similarly, closing these
controls will decrease the amount of air intake
into the stove.
AIRWASH SYSTEM / SECONDARY AIR
The airwash system is located either above or
towards the top of the fire door. This functions in
the same way as the primary air inlet controls.
BURNING WOOD
On stoves with the
Flexi
fuel system, the
riddling lever should be pushed in.
Set the fire by using scrunched up newspaper
and place a layer of dry kindling wood on top of
this.
The use of two or three fire lighters may assist
to light the kindling.
Set the primary air and airwash controls to the
fully open position.
After the kindling has caught light, you should
leave the fire door ajar by about 20mm. This
will aid flue draw.
