FUEL TYPES 
 
SAFETY NOTICE 
The most efficient use of this appliance is with 
the fire door(s) closed at all times, apart from 
re -fuelling (when alight) or cleaning (when 
cold). 
NEVER leave the appliance unattended for an 
extended length of time with the door(s) open. 
If this is the case, a spark guard must be used 
and the operating efficiency of the appliance 
will decrease. 
 
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 100mm 
(4”) diameter.  
WARNING :  wet wood must not be used as this 
will greatly contribute to the creation of tar and 
creosote which may, in extreme cases, run down 
the chimney in liquid form. This will seriously  
damage both the chimney and the appliance , and 
increase the risk of a chimney fire.  
 
Please Note : If you have sticky tar inside the 
appliance or chimney your wood is ‘Green’ or 
too wet. 
Please Note : The burn classification for all  
appliances in these instructions are classed as 
intermittent use. 
 
Recommended Reading ;  
“Wood as a fuel” available from the Forestry   
Commission. 
 
PAPER – Paper will burn successfully. Burn dry 
paper only or chimney damage will occur. 
 
WARNING : NEVER BURN PLASTICS OR 
HOUSEHOLD WASTE IN YOUR STOVE. 
 
WARNING : NEVER BURN LIQUID FUELS IN 
YOUR STOVE. 
  PLEASE CONTACT  : The Manufacturer 
For Further Details & Advice On The 
Use Of Other Fuels.   Please Note : Do not use smaller sizes than 
Stovesse, eg: Beans, Peas or Grains. 
Do not use petroleum based solid products 
such as Calco or Petrocoke. 
To do so will INVALIDATE  the appliance  
Guarantee. 
 
LIGHTING THE FIRE 
 
Prior to lighting the stove for the first time, 
check with the installer that : 
 
 
Installation and all building work is complete. 
  The chimney is sound and has been swept and 
is free from obstruction. 
  Adequate provision for combustion air has been 
made, i.e. a permanent vent of at least 550mm 
sq per KW of rated output above 5KW , is fitted in 
the room in which the appliance is installed. 
Please note page 10, if a flue stabiliser is fitted to 
the flue. 
  That Building Regulations and any local by laws 
have been followed during installation. See 
   installation section of this manual. 
  All firebox liner panels and throat plate are in 
place. 
  That the chimney draw has been checked and is 
within specification. With the chimney warm, the 
draught should be between 1-2 mm water gauge 
or 0.1 to 0.2 mbar. 
 
WARNING :  An over drawing chimney can cause 
over firing, resulting in damage to the appliance. 
 
ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE READ &  
UNDERSTOOD THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
BEFORE LIGHTING THE FIRE. 
 
ALWAYS WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE FIRE 
GLOVES WHEN REFUELLING YOUR STOVE.  For additional further advise on fuels, please refer to 
HETAS, Tel 0845 634 5625 or www.hetas.co.uk and or

BURNING WOOD 
 
 
Set the fire; by using rolled up newspaper and 
lay a layer of dry kindling wood on top of this. 
 
  Use 2 or 3 fire lighters to light the kindling.  
 
  Set the primary air and air wash controls to fully 
open position. See page 26. 
 
  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 well burnt down to         
    
form an ember bed. 
 
  Carefully load the stove with well seasoned 
wood and close the fire door.      
         
  After 10 to 15 minutes, regulate the air wash  
    
control, typically reduce to approximately half      
    
way. 
 
  Similarly, reduce the primary air control, to the 
off position (-) as generally no air from below the 
grate is required when burning wood. 
 
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 these appliances 
are for intermittent use. 
 
Lower or reduced burn rates are possible by re-
ducing the primary and secondary (air wash) air 
inlet controls to a lower setting. Please note if both 
controls are set on the minimum settings 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 condensation 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, operated and maintained correctly,  
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 installer. 
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.

OVER FIRING & CHIMNEY FIRES 
 
DO NOT  over fire your appliance. Using flammable 
liquids or too much wood or firing the stove at 
maximum for prolonged periods may result in over-
firing. If the chimney connector or casing glows red 
the appliance is being over-fired this may result in 
a chimney fire. If this occurs : 
 
  Call the Fire Service —Dial 999 
 
  Immediately close all of the air inlets to the 
appliance, to reduce the air supply to the 
stove. 
 
  Move items of furniture and combustibles 
away from the stove, to reduce a risk of fire 
and to allow access for the fire service. 
 
  Ensure access to the loft space is available. 
 
  Evacuate the property. 
 
The chimney fire may cause structural damage to 
the chimney. Do not use the appliance until the 
chimney and connector have been inspected and 
any damaged parts have been repaired or  
replaced. This should be done by a HETAS  
registered engineer. 
 
 
 
ASH REMOVAL 
 
The appliance will require ash to be removed 
periodically but an ash bed of approximately 20mm 
(3/4”) should be maintained. Ash may be removed 
with a small shovel whilst the fire is still lit by raking 
the embers of a low fire to one side of the firebox 
and carefully removing the ash, then repeating the 
procedure for the other side. Care must be taken 
not to risk burning of hands or household objects 
from falling embers. 
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 underside of the grate bars, 
as this will greatly reduce the life span of the grate. 
When the appliance is burning  WOOD, it is  
acceptable to maintain an ash bed on top of the 
grate bars, of approximately 20mm (3/4”) without 
any un-due effect upon the grate bars.  WARNING : 
The ash can be very hot. Empty only 
into a metal container. Even if the ash appears 
cold, red-hot pieces of ash may be concealed and 
could easily start a fire or cause an injury

AIR INLET CONTROLS 
 
The Aarrow Ecoburn stoves have two air inlet  
controls. 
The primary air inlet providing under draught to the 
base of the fire chamber through the control slider 
located under the oval at the base of the fire door. 
The air wash system, (secondary air) so called 
because its pre-heated high speed air, washes 
across the inner face of the door glass, keeping it 
clear. This also provides an over draught to the 
fuel bed. 
 
PRIMARY AIR 
 
Air enters the appliance through the control on the 
bottom of the fire door. The Aarrow Ecoburn has a 
single control knob which slides left to right. Sliding 
the knob to the right (+), see Fig. 13, will increase 
the amount of air intake to the stove. To decrease, 
push the slider to the left (-) as in Fig. 14   
  
AIR WASH SYSTEM 
 
The air wash has an internal sliding plate with 
slots, housed in a cover plate, and is located 
above the fire door. Sliding the control knob to the 
RIGHT
 as far as it will go, achieves the fully open 
position, see Fig. 15. . Sliding it to the  LEFT will 
shut off the air inlet slots as shown in Fig. 16. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
FUEL RETAINER BARS 
 
Fuel retaining bars are supplied with the stove. For 
wood burning, the top fuel retaining bar may be 
removed to afford a better view of the fire. Slide 
and lift the bar until it is clear of the guides at each 
side, and remove through the fire door opening. 
The bars are symmetrical and of even lengths 
making incorrect fitting impossible. 
 
Please Note —This should be carried out when 
the stove is cold and unlit.
