Stratford Sf & Si fires are fitted with an "interlock" system. A situation where the fire door is closed and the ash
door is open may lead to serious overfiring which could damage the appliance. Correct use of the doors and
interlock system will ensure that this does not happen.
Operation is as follows:
A pivoted lug prevents closure of the fire door, unless the ash door has been shut first.
When the fire door is shut the ash door knob can be turned anti-clockwise by up to 95 degrees creating a variable
gap between the top of the ash door and the body, through which primary combustion air can enter the appliance.
Note: In order to turn the ash door knob sufficiently for the catch to release and permit the ash door to be
opened fully THE FIRE DOOR MUST BE OPENED FIRST.
SUMMARY: Sequence of operations
• Close ash door.
• Close fire door.
• Set primary air gap (if required).
• Open fire door.
• Open ash door.
Your Aarrow fire comes with a multi-purpose operating tool which is used for the emptying of the ash pan and
opening the ash pit door (see fig.8 overleaf). For the Si only it is also used for de-ashing the appliance and for
setting the grate to the wood or coal positions as marked on the side of the appliance.
