3. Preparation For Use —
 Locate a suitable placement for the chimenea, taking in mind the location of
combustible materials and level ground requirements. Moving of the chimenea is
best done using a sack truck, with an additional person steading and guiding the
front.
 Remove the outer cling wrap packaging, internal foam packing and internal plastic
bag. See section on recycling of waste materials.
 Inside of each corner, there are temporary screws holding the appliance to the base
packaging pallet, these will need to be removed and the chimenea carefully moved
onto the ground. Again the wooden pallet can be recycled (See Fig. 1.)
 Place on to a suitable level location, ensure the appliance is stable and secure.
 Ensure the ash pan / grate is fitted (See Fig. 2.)
 In the case of the Open & Closed Chimeneas position the 4x vermiculite liners into
the firebox, note the 2x longer panels (350mm) and 2x shorter panels (325mm) are
placed on alternating sides (See Fig. 3.)
 For the Teepee Chimenea, the 2x vermiculite liners are positioned at the rear face of
the firebox (See Fig.4).

4. Lighting Your Chimenea —
 Using the ‘Top Down Lighting Technique’, begin to place 2x large logs (approx.
100mm in diameter) in the front to back position, within the base of the chimenea.
(See Fig. 5)
 Next, place smaller logs 180 degrees to the larger logs. Infill these with suitable
firelighters.
 On top of the smaller logs, build a grid of kindling and place a further fire lighter on
the very top. (See Fig. 6)
 Light the top fire lighter, the structure will start to burn downwards causing the lower
combustion products to ignite.
 Leave for approximately 5-10mins, to establish an ash bed.
 Reload on to a hot glowing ember bed with fresh logs.

5. Care Of Your Chimenea —
After use, allow your heater to completely cool. Caution should be exercised, as
although the flame may be extinguished, there may be red hot embers or the
casing of the appliance may still be HOT.
 Before moving or cleaning the appliance ensure it is cool to touch.
 Do not allow the ash to build up above the base of the opening, remove the ash if it
becomes too high. Dispose of the ash appropriately.
 Cleaning the exterior finish, use a soft brush and a damp lint free cloth.
 Your Chimenea is designed to be kept undercover and dry when not in use.
 For long term storage over the winter months, we recommend apply a coating of light
oil (linseed) over the exterior and cover with a waterproof tarpaulin.
 After long term storage, inspect the heater for wear and tear or damage. Should
external areas need re-painting, only use Arada high temperature aerosol paint, as
differing paints may react with the surface finish.
 Replacement parts can be obtained from www.aradastovesandspares.com or your
local retailer.
PLEASE NOTE : Discolouring of the exterior finish and surface oxidation is
normal, through usage, and adds to the patina of the appliance.
6. Warranty —
Your Garden Heater comes with a ONE year warranty, covering against defect in
materials and workmanship.
For the purposes of this warranty, a material or manufacturing defect includes the splitting
or cracking of the main body (defined as the steel outer casing and items fixed immovably
to the casing).
All other items are classed as consumable components and are therefore subject to
damage through wear and tear or incorrect use or application, such as over-firing or the
use of non specified or incorrect fuels.
