Multifuel Grate & Grate Bars; Throat Plate Inspection - Aarrow Stratford Tf Operating And Installation Manual

INSTALLATION
MULTIFUEL GRATE
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.
ASSEMBLING THE GRATE
To assemble the grate, fit bars to low sections of the
comb first, inserting end marked "H" into rear
channel with groove on underside of bar located on
upstand tab, and then lowering end marked "L"
onto the low section of the comb. The upper bar is
fitted in a similar manner, but with the end marked
"L" inserted in the rear channel, and the end
marked "H" seated on the high section of the comb.

THROAT PLATE INSPECTION

The throat plate for all types of fires consists of a
profiled steel plate with "drop down" facility for
inspection purposes.
To "drop" the throat plate (Fig.8), engage the
operating tool behind the downstand tab marked
"throat plate" and pull the plate frontward until its
forward lugs drop into the cut-away at the front of
the side panel. Check the upper surface for soot, ash
build-up, etc. Reverse the procedure to return the
throat plate to the working position.
Warning: If the fire is operated with the throat
plate in the down position the air wash will not
operate effectively.

GRATE BAR REPLACEMENT
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.
All the grate bars in each appliance are identical
and can easily be lifted out after removal of the fuel
retainers.
Remove damaged grate bars and replace with
casting of the same type, fitting as per instruction
above. (Check Identification letters on the casting
when reordering).
