INTRODUCTION 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MULTIFUEL GRATE AARROW AIR WASH SYSTEM The Aarrow Multifuel grate comprises of a series of reciprocating cast iron bars seated on a pivoted "comb". These should come fitted in your stove, if not please refer to page 16 for fitting and operation and also operating instructions on fuels for correct settings of the grate. The air wash has an internal sliding plate with slots, housed in a cover plate, and is located above the fire door.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS INTERLOCK SYSTEM DOOR TRIM Stratford Tf and Ti Multifuel Boiler Stoves 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. Stratford fire doors are fitted with a brushed steel finish trim as standard.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Step 4 Remove the glass completely. Store glassretaining clips and white gasket (if sound) safely for re-use. •Gently tap the two hinge pins in a direction to compensate for the misalignment.(fig 7) Step 5 Follow this procedure in reverse to fit replacement door glass or gasket. GLASS GL ASS CLIP GASK ET FIRE DOOR Fig. 7 •Refit the door and check to ensure it now sits square to the body; if not repeat above steps.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FUEL TYPES Wood- Any type of wood is suitable provided it is well seasoned and has a moisture content below 20%. This usually implies that the timber has been suitably stored to allow moisture to evaporate for at least nine months in the case of soft woods, and at least eighteen months in the case of hard wood. We recommend that for general burning, wood should be split into logs of no more than 130mm (5") diameter. Larger logs can be used for overnight burning.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE READ & UNDERSTOOD THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LIGHTING THE FIRE. ALWAYS WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE FIRE GLOVES WHEN REFUELLING YOUR STOVE. SOLID FUEL BURNING •Set the grate to ‘coal’ position. •Ensure that the ash pan is in position and the fire doors are closed. •Set the air wash to one quarter open position. •Set the thermostat control knob to position 8 •Light in the normal manner with paper and kindling, or use a fire lighter.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ASH REMOVAL The ash pan should be emptied at least twice a day or when the level of ash reaches the top of the ash pan. On no account should the ash be allowed to build up to touch the grate as this will greatly shorten its life. brigade. A chimney fire may cause structural damage of the chimney. Do not use the appliance until the chimney and connector have been inspected and any damaged parts repaired or replaced.
SERVICING MAINTENANCE It is important that your fire is regularly serviced in accordance with these instructions. This should be carried out at least annually by a qualified person and should consist of the following: When the appliance is cold and unlit ensure to remove the firebrick liners and throat plate. Inspect all gasketing on doors, glass etc., and re-order any items that may need replacing, from your Aarrow dealer.
INSTALLATION GENERAL PRECAUTIONS Note - All installations must conform to the appropriate building regulations. The Building Regulations for England and Wales 2000 ref Approved Document J 2002 edition (issued by the DTLR). The Building Standards (Scotland) (Consolidation) Regulations. Detailed recommendations for installation of appliances, chimneys and flues are outlined in the current issue of the following British Standards:BS6461, BS8303 and BS4543.
INSTALLATION MULTIFUEL GRATE GRATE BAR REPLACEMENT All bars in the grate are identical, but every other bar is turned through 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. After extended use it may be necessary to replace some of the grate bars. Periodic inspection of the bars is recommended and the removal of any nails or wire that may be present after burning wood.
INSTALLATION FITTING THE FLUE OUTLET AND HOT PLATE The flue outlet spigot is found inside the appliance. The hot plate (blanking plate) is supplied fitted to the top opening and is removed by turning clockwise (as is the flue outlet). Smear a very thin layer of fire cement on the faces of the flue outlet and the blanking plate. Fit the outlet to the appliance in the desired position.
INSTALLATION Due to the gradual introduction of European Chimney Standards chimneys will be specified according to their performance designation as defined in BS EN 1443 that covers the General Requirements for chimneys. The minimum performance designation required for use with solid fuel burning stoves is T450 N2 S D3. The flue and chimney installation must be carefully checked by a competent person before fitting the stove to ensure it is suitable and will work safely.
INSTALLATION INTEGRAL BOILERS Integral boilers should be connected, with flow and return connection of any circuit on opposite sides of the appliance, (cross flowed), to an indirect hot water tank/system, adding Fernox or similar corrosion inhibitor to prevent corrosion and the formation of lime scale. It is also essential that the return water temperature remains in excess of 45 degrees centigrade (Celsius).
INSTALLATION Ti MODELS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR INSET STOVES (Ti40B) BUILDERS OPENING / CHIMNEY BREAST Stratford Ti 40 fires are designed to be fitted into a rectangular recess not less than 400mm (15 3/4'') deep, not less than 400mm (15 3/4'') wide and not less than 550mm (21 1/2'') high, the so-called "standard builder's opening". The fireplace surround should be vertical, and with a flat surface against which the unit can be sealed.

INSTALLATION WATER CONNECTIONS Heating systems The size of the heating system which can be run, will depend on the output rating of the appliance. It will be necessary to work out heat loss calculations for the system proposed in order to establish the kW/hr rating. An appliance that will meet this figure can then be chosen; (for boiler outputs please refer to the brochure). The constructional requirements of installing and connecting the appliance also need to be taken into account when selecting.
INSTALLATION Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve With solid fuel appliances it is not practicable to provide a sufficiently rapid reaction for shutting down fuel in the event of a sudden rise in water temperature and a temperature relief valve or preferably, a combined temperature and pressure relief valve should be installed to operate in the event of high water temperatures occurring. See diagram below.
