Burning Wood; Reduced Burning - Aarrow Signature Inset 5 Operating & Installation Manual

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BURNING WOOD

• Set the fire by using rolled up newspaper and a
layer of dry kindling wood on top of this.
• Use 2 or 3 fire lighters to light the kindling.
• Set the air wash control to the fully open
position. See page 24.
• After the kindling has caught light, leave the fire
door ajar by about 20mm. This will aid flue draw.
• The flue draw should be established after 5
minutes and the kindling will burn down to form
an ember bed.
• Carefully load the stove with dry, well seasoned
wood and close the fire door.
• After 10 to 15 minutes, regulate the air wash
control, typically reduce to approximately half
way.
Please Note :
The high temperature paint acquires durability by
being "cured" during the initial firings of the
appliance. It will give off fumes which are non
toxic, but certain persons may find they have an
unpleasant or irritant effect. Ensure that the
surrounding area is well ventilated during this time.

REDUCED BURNING

Please Note :
Classification of this appliance is for intermit-
tent use.
Lower or reduced burn rates are possible by re-
ducing the air wash inlet control to a lower setting.
Please note if the air wash control is fully closed
the appliance will be starved of air and die down.
WARNING :
When wood is burnt slowly in a closed appliance, it
produces moisture and tar, which will create con-
densation and deposits in the chimney. This effect
can be minimised by burning hard for a short
period, 15 to 20 minutes, twice a day.

Please Note : To avoid chimney problems your
appliance should not be burnt at a reduced burn
rate without a period of fast burning.
WARNING : Properly installed, with a suitable flue
or chimney and operated and maintained, this
appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes when de-ashing and re-fuelling
may occur. However, persistent fume emission is
potentially dangerous and must be investigated by
a HETAS registered engineer.
Stop using the appliance if you smell
fumes or see smoke escaping.
If fume emission does persist, the following
immediate actions should be taken :
• Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
• Let the fire die or extinguish and safely dispose
of fuel from the appliance.
• Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if
required.
Seek expert advice from your HETAS registered
installer. Do not attempt to re-light the fire until the
cause of the fume emission has been identified
and corrected.
