DOOR GLASS
The door glass should remain clear during
normal burning. However, under certain
conditions, such as burning at a low rate, using
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 stove stockists and online at
www.aradastovesandspares.com).
REDUCED BURNING
When wood is burnt slowly in a closed
appliance, it produces moisture and tar, which
will create condensation and deposits in the
chimney. To avoid chimney problems this
effect can be minimised by burning hard for a
short period, fifteen to twenty minutes, twice a
day.
OVER FIRING & CHIMNEY FIRES
Do not over fire your appliance.
Firing the stove at maximum for prolonged
periods may result in over-firing. If the chimney
connector or casing glows red the appliance is
being over-fired, this may result in a chimney
fire.
ASH REMOVAL
The appliance will require ash to be removed
periodically but an ash bed of approximately
20mm (3/4”) should be maintained. Care must
be taken not to risk burning of hands or
household objects from falling embers.
The ash pan should be emptied when the level

of ash reaches the top of the ash pan. On no
account should the ash be allowed to build up
to touch the underside of the grate bars, as this
will greatly reduce the life span of the grate.
The ash will require less frequent removal when
burning wood than solid fuels.
WARNING:
The ash can be very hot. Empty only
into a metal container. Even if the ash appears
cold, red-hot pieces of ash may be concealed
and could easily start a fire or cause an injury.
SUMMER STORAGE
Please ensure that your stove is left clean and
moving components are well lubricated for the
summer months (during periods of
prolonged non use). If possible store the throat
plate outside of the stove. Check all moveable
components at regular intervals to ensure they
are moving freely.
Allow air movement through the stove by
opening the airwash and primary air inlet
control(s) to about half way open, or leave the
door ajar. This will allow a free flow of air
through the appliance thus preventing moisture
and condensation forming inside the stove and
chimney. This preventative maintenance will
ensure your stove stays in the best condition for
the coming winter months.
ADJUSTING THE DOOR HINGES
Once the appliance has been under fire for a
period of time the fire door may appear to
have moved out of alignment with relation to
the door aperture or catch. This is quite normal
and due to the settling of the casting.
The fire door can be re-aligned as follows:
When the appliance is cold, open the fire
door so that it is at right angles to the front of
the stove.
