SAFETY

A fireguard conforming to BS 8423: 2002 should be used in the presence of children and old/or infirm people. If the appliance is used with the fire door open, a spark guard conforming to BS 3248 should be fitted.

Do not use aerosol sprays or any other flame near the appliance under fire.

Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as the appliance.

Fire cement is caustic, hand and eye protection should always be worn, prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided.

Aarrow Fires Ltd will not be responsible for any consequential or incidental loss or injury however caused.

Before continuing any further with the installation of this appliance please read the following guide to manual handling.

Always obtain assistance when lifting the appliance.

When lifting always keep your back straight. Bend your legs not your back.

Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to reposition your feet.

Avoid upper body/top heavy bending. Do not lean forwards or sideways when handling the fire.

Always grip with the palms of your hands. Do not use fingertips for support.

Always keep the stove as close to the body as possible. This will minimise the cantilever action.

Use gloves to provide additional grip.

THE PRINCIPLE OF THE FIRE

Your Aarrow Fire is built to the highest standard of craftsmanship using the best materials and the most modern equipment available. It is a highly efficient and sophisticated piece of machinery and when properly installed and operated it should provide a lifetime of heating satisfaction.

Safety is the most important consideration when installing your fire. If not properly installed and operated a house fire may result. installation must comply with the Building Regulations and conform to all relevant fire safety standards.

Aarrow Fires produce a variety of appliances ranging from units, which are traditional in style to stoves which are modern in appearance, all bristling with "High Tech" features.

Model types include simple room heaters, convectors, integral boiler models and inset units. Your Aarrow Fire is constructed from either single or twin wall steel strengthened where necessary. Cast iron is used where appropriate for decorative features.

All fire doors are fitted with special high temperature ceramic glass panels through which the fire can be viewed.

Multifuel stoves are fitted with a cast iron grate to give full multifuel facility and positive de-ashing.

All models except integral boiler models are lined with firebricks or heat reflective panels which ensure complete combustion and provide a good heat store to even out fluctuations in burning.

An internal throat plate produces turbulence to encourage secondary combustion and directs the flue gas around the whole upper firebox before allowing it to escape up the chimney.

On multifuel appliances the primary air for burning enters the ash pit chamber beneath the grate, controlled by the air inlet mechanism.

Aarrow Fires are also fitted with an "air wash" so called because it provides a curtain of high speed preheated air behind the glass to help keep it clean and to provide secondary air/over draught.

The provision of two inlets on all multifuel stoves gives a wide range of primary air/secondary air, under draught/over draught combinations.

The optimum settings will only be established by experience in firing the appliance, and will depend on type of fuel, the position of the appliance in the house, condition of chimney etc.
