not lean forwards or sideways when         
handling the fire 
  Always grip with the palms of your hands               
do not use your fingertips for support 
  Always keep the stove as close to the body 
as possible as this will minimise the    
    cantilever action. 
  Use gloves to provide additional grip.   
 
 
 
THE PRINCIPLE OF THE STOVE 
 
Your 
Aarrow  stove is built to the highest  
standard of craftsmanship using the best  
materials and the most modern equipment  
available. It is a highly efficient and sophisticated 
piece of machinery and when properly installed 
and operated should provide a lifetime of  
heating satisfaction. 
 
Safety is the most important consideration when 
installing your fire. If not properly installed and 
operated a house fire may result. Installation 
must comply with the Building Regulations and 
conform to all safety standards. 
 
Aarrow  produce a variety of appliances ranging 
from the traditional to the  modern in style and 
appearance, all bristling with „High Tech‟        
features. 
 
The fire door is fitted with a special high  
temperature ceramic glass panel through which 
the fire can be viewed. 
 
The stove is lined with firebricks or heat         
reflective panels which ensure complete          
combustion and provide a good heat store to 
even out  fluctuations in burning. 
 
An internal throat plate produces turbulence to 
encourage secondary combustion and direct the 
flue gas around the whole upper firebox before 
allowing it to escape up the chimney. 
 
Aarrow  stoves are also fitted with an „air wash‟ 
so called because it provides a curtain of high 
speed preheated air behind the glass to help 
keep it clean and provide secondary air/over 
draught. 
 
The provision of two inlets on all stoves gives a 
wide range of primary / secondary air, under 
draught/over draught combinations. The  
optimum setting will only be established by  
experience in firing the appliance, and will  
depend on the type of fuel, the position of the 
appliance in the house, and condition of  
the chimney etc.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS  
 
Note : All local regulations, including those  
referring to National and European standards need 
to be complied with, when installing the appliance. 
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 & BS4543. 
 
Any Manufacturer’s Instructions must not 
be taken as overriding statutory  
requirements. 
 
Before any installation work is undertaken 
consideration must be given to the Health 
and Safety at Work Act 1974. Safe working 
practices should be followed at all times. 
 
During installation ensure that adequate  
precautions are taken to avoid unnecessary risk to 
yourself or any householder. In particular the  
danger from caustic nature of the fire cement 
should be avoided by using these accepted  
methods : 
 
Wear gloves when handling fire cement 
  Wear goggles when chiselling or looking up 
chimneys. 
Make sure that Building Regulations are adhered 
to during installation along with any local by-laws. 
In the case of heating systems make sure that the 
pipe work is correctly bonded to ensure electrical 
earth continuity. 
 
ASBESTOS 
All Aarrow stoves contain no asbestos in their 
manufacture or construction. If there is a possibility 
of disturbing any asbestos in the course of  
installation, then please seek specialist guidance 
and use appropriate protective equipment. 
 
HANDLING 
The safe handling guidelines are set out on page 5 
of this manual, to make movement easier, internal 
fittings, fuel retainers, grates, firebox liners, flue 
outlets, hot plates, throat plates etc, can be  
removed. Care should be taken to make sure that 
the hinges are not damaged during installation.   
 
 
HEARTH  
 
The stove shall be installed on a floor with  
adequate load bearing capacity. If the existing  
construction does not meet this prerequisite, 
suitable measures (e.g.: load distributing plate) 
should be taken to achieve it. 
Ideally, the appliance should stand on a  
constructional hearth of non-combustible  
materials not less than 125mm (5”) thick   
conforming to Building Regulations. 
Dimensions of the hearth should project at least 
300mm (12”) forward of the front of the appliance 
and 150mm (6”) at the sides.  
The surface of the hearth should be free of  
combustible materials. In most buildings with solid 
concrete or stone floors, the requirement will be 
met by the floor itself, but mark the hearth to  
ensure floor coverings are kept well away or use 
different levels to mark the hearth perimeter. 
 
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS 
 
Please view the technical data (see page 8) and 
observe the  minimum distance to combustible  
materials, which is applicable to your stove model. 
Ideally, adjacent walls should be of suitable non 
combustible construction, preferably brickwork. In 
large fireplaces take care that any supporting 
beam is protected by a 13mm (0.5”) sheet of   
Masterboard or Superlux spaced 13mm (0.5”) off 
the surface with strips of non combustible material. 
Make sure that there is a gap between an  
un-insulated flue system and any combustible  
material. This gap must be at least 3X the outside 
diameter of the flue pipe, or 1.5X the flue diameter 
to non combustible surfaces. See illustration on 
page 13. 
 
AIR FOR COMBUSTION 
 
There must always be a permanent means of  
providing air for combustion into the room in which 
the stove is installed. A permanent vent with a total 
free area of at least 550mm² for every KW rated 
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. The positioning of any air vent must be 
so that it cannot be liable to blockage or  
obstruction.  Please note  : The fitting of an  
extractor fan to either of these rooms is not  
recommended. Please see note on page 11.  Aarrow Ecoburn Stoves

INSTALLATION
  
						

							 
FITTING THE FLUE OUTLET AND 
HOT PLATE 
 
The flue outlet spigot is found packed inside the 
appliance . The hot plate (blanking plate) is sup-
plied 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  
mateing faces of the flue outlet and the hot plate. 
Fit the outlet to the appliance in the desired       
position. 
Lock into place by rotating anti-clockwise and 
tighten by tapping with a block of wood and mallet 
from inside of the appliance. Similarly, fit the hot 
plate (blanking plate) to the unused opening. Clean 
off any surplus fire cement. 
Place appliance on the hearth and make sure that 
it is level and does not rock. 
Connect the chimney ensuring all joints are sealed 
with fire cement. 
 
Note : The flue pipe must be fitted inside the outlet 
spigot. Failure to do so could result in the spillage 
of condensation running down the flue. 
( See Fig. 1 ) 
 
 
 
SEALING OF TERMINALS 
 
If an add in boiler is not to be fitted, 
please en-
sure that the two partially cut circular terminals 
(located on the rear of the appliance) are sealed 
with fire cement, and thus preventing surplus air 
entering the firebox, resulting in less efficiency and 
poor fuel consumption.    
FLUES AND CHIMNEYS  
 
The flue draw is critical on any installation and 
should be checked to ensure that it matches what 
is specified. If it is higher than recommended,  
provision must be made to correct the over draw. 
The draw can vary in different weather conditions 
and the customer should be made aware of this. 
Failure to correct an over-drawing flue will  
invalidate the warranty. 
Please remember that chimney draught is  
dependent on four main factors : 
 
Flue gas temperature 
  Flue height 
  Flue size 
  Flue terminal 
The stove must be connected to a suitable and 
efficient flue so that products of combustion 
(fumes) from the stove are expelled to the outside 
air. To ensure a good up draught it is important 
that the flue gases are kept warm and that the flue 
size suits the stove. The termination of the outlet at 
the top of the flue also needs to comply with    
Building  
Regulations. The minimum effective height of the 
flue must be at least 4.5 metres from the top of the 
stove to the top of the flue outlet. When warm the 
flue draught should be between 0.1 to 0.2 mb. 
A chimney may comply with regulations but could 
still be subject to down draught and similar      
problems. A chimney terminating above the ridge 
level is generally less likely to suffer such        
problems. 
 
If a new chimney is being provided it should fully 
comply with the relevant Building Regulations that 
specify the requirements for solid fuel burning  
installations. Suitable types of chimney include the 
following : 
 
Masonry Chimney :  Built with clay or concrete 
liners, or a chimney block system meeting Building 
Regulations. These types of chimney should be 
installed in accordance with the Building  
Regulations and BS 6461:Part 1. 
 
Factory Made Insulated Chimney :  Complying 
with BS 4543:Part 2 (often called “Class 1  
  prefabricated metal chimney”). These types of 
chimney should be installed in accordance with 
Building Regulations and BS 7566: Parts 1 to 4.
