DEFRA Stove Installation and User Guide
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.

help you get the best from your Arada stove.
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. During this process the paint surface
may smoke briefly, and you may smell a slight odour for an hour or so. 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.
