Aarrow fires are designed so that the flue can be swept through the appliance once the throat plate has been removed. Access for cleaning should also be incorporated in the chimney (i.e. a soot door). Door Glass The door glass should remain clear during normal daytime burning. However under certain conditions-such as burning at a low rate with damp fuel, or overnight burning of wood, the glass may become somewhat blackened.
Installation Instructions For The Stratford Sf & Si Multifuel 17. GENERAL During installation ensure that adequate precautions are taken to avoid unnecessary risk to yourself or any householder. In particular the danger from asbestos dust and the caustic nature of the fire cement should be avoided by using these accepted methods: Thoroughly soak any asbestos sheet prior to cutting or drilling.
21. AIR FOR COMBUSTION There must always be a permanent means of providing air for combustion into the room in which the fire is installed. A permanent vent with a total free area of at least 550 mm for every kW rated output above 5kw should be connected directly to the outside air or to an adjacent room which itself has a permanent vent of the same size direct to the outside air.
When a flue lining is fitted (to stainless steel or pumice chimney systems) it should be supported independently to the appliance, i.e. with clips, brackets, flue lintels, etc. NOT simply resting on top of the appliance. It should be possible to remove the fire for major maintenance work. Note: if the appliance is fitted with a draught stabiliser or if one is fitted to the flue pipe or chimney in the same room as the appliance, then the permanent air entry opening (or openings) should be increased by 300mm...

Reinstate brickwork around pipes using lime mortar, and make good. Fill the space around the appliance level with the top unit with Vermiculite cement (6 parts Vermiculite granules to 1 part Portland cement). The flue socket in the appliance is designed to receive 5'' or 6" nominal cast iron or heavy duty steel pipe connector which should be caulked with asbestos rope and fire cement.
