USER GUIDE
Whilst burning solid fuel it can be beneficial to
occasionally riddle the grate bars so any burnt
fuel will fall between the grate bars into the
ash pan below. This will ensure a good under
draught is maintained.
This is done by pulling back and fourth the
riddling lever on the front of the stove using
the operating tool supplied with the stove.
WARNING: Properly installed, with a suitable
flue or chimney, operated and maintained
correctly, this appliance will not emit fumes
into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes when de-ashing and
refuelling may occur. However, persistent
fume emission is potentially dangerous and
must be investigated by a HETAS registered
installer.
Stop using the appliance if you smell fumes or
see smoke escaping.
If fume emission does persist, the following
immediate
actions should be taken:
Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
Let the fire die or extinguish and safely
dispose
of fuel from the appliance.
Check for flue or chimney blockage, and
clean if required.
Seek expert advice from your HETAS registered
installer. Do not attempt to re-light the fire until
the cause of the fume emission has been
identified
and corrected.
MULTI FUEL GRATE
The grate in your stove comprises of a series
of reciprocating cast iron bars seated on a
pivoted comb. These should come
pre-assembled in your new stove.
All bars in the grate are identical, but every
other bar is turned 180 degrees, with the ends
of the bars marked ‘H’ sitting on the high
sections of the comb, and the ends marked
‘L’ sitting on the low sections.
The riddling lever on the front of
the stove can
be operated with the stove operating
tool to
riddle ash into the ash pan below. Only
riddle
the stove with the door closed and stop
once red embers begin to fall into the ash
pan.
After extended use it may be necessary to
replace some of the grate bars. Periodic
inspection
of the
bars is recommended and
any damaged bars replaced. Also check
for obstructions that may prevent the
operation of the riddling mechanism.
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).
