temporary irritation to the eyes, skin and
respiratory tract. Care must be taken when
handling these items to ensure the release of
dust particles is kept to a minimum. To
ensure that the release of fibre from these
items is kept to a minimum, during
installation and servicing it is recommended
that a vacuum cleaner fitted with H.E.P.A.
filters is used to remove any dust, soot or
any other debris accumulated in and around
the appliance. This should be performed
before and after the installation. It is
recommended that any replacement item(s)
are not broken up but sealed within a heavy
duty polythene bag and clearly labelled
"R.C.F. waste". This is not classified as
"hazardous waste" and may be disposed of
at a tipping site licensed for the disposal of
industrial waste. Protective clothing is not
required when handling these items but it is
recommended that gloves are worn and
normal hygiene rules are followed.
Always wash your hands before eating or
drinking.
• In the event of a gas emergency, consult the
telephone directory and ask for your local
gas supplier.
Guide to manual handling

FLUE SYSTEM
The stove must be connected to a suitable and
efficient flue that provides a good updraught to
safely take the products of combustion (fumes)
from the stove outlet to the outside air. To ensure a
good updraught 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 the Building
Regulations. The minimum effective height of the
chimney must be at least 3 metres and when warm
the flue draught should be between 0.05 and 6mb
(0.5mm to 6mm water gauge).
The stove requires a minimum flue size of 125mm
(5 inches). The stove can be fitted to a
sound conventional solid fuel burning chimney
system (Class 1) provided it is swept.
If the chimney is not sound or the chimney has an
internal flue size greater than 225mm (9 inches)
diameter or 200 x 200mm square, a 125mm (5
inches) diameter stainless steel flexible flue liner
complying with BS 715 should be installed in the
flue.
If a new chimney is being provided it should fully
comply with the relevant Building Regulation
Requirements and BS 5440: Part 1. Suitable types
of chimney include the following.
• Masonry chimney built with clay or concrete liners, or a chimney block system meeting Building
Regulations.
• Precast concrete gas flue block complying with
BS 1289: Part 1
Factory made metal chimney complying with BS
715 (often called "Twin wall Class 2 chimney") or
Factory made metal insulated chimney complying with BS 4543: Part 2 (often called "Class 1 prefabricated metal chimney"). To ensure the flue
gases are kept warm an insulated chimney system
should be used if the chimney is positioned outside
the building.
The flue must be terminated with a suitable
chimney pot or cowl and the chimney or flue shall
be swept prior to installation unless the chimney is
clean and unobstructed.
The flue and chimney installation must be
carefully checked by a competent person before
fitting the stove to ensure it is suitable and will
work safely. The flue must also pass a Flue flow
test (smoke test) to BS 5440: Part 1.

FITTING AND ARRANGING THE
COALS (Both NG & LPG versions)
Ensure the appliance is cold
Safety Notice - Please see SAFETY NOTICES
ref. Coal / Log sets page 3.
Warning: The coals and the coal matrix are fragile
ensure they are handled carefully.
Ensure location is correct. Do not force the matrix
into position. If the coals and/or the coal matrix are
damaged they must be replaced with genuine
Aarrow parts.
Warning: An incorrect coal layout may cause soot
to build up inside the stove and therefore invalidate
the guarantee.
How to arrange the coals
(see Fig 9 for part identification)
1) Place the 2x larger base matrices at the rear of
the burner. These are labelled LR (left rear) & RR
(right rear). These should be positioned so that the
slots in the matrices sit over the rear upright fold of
the burner top plate.
2) Next position the 2x smaller base matrices
between the rear matrices and the front of the firebox. These matrices are labelled, LF (left front) &
RF (right front). The RF matrix has a notch in the
front to avoid the pilot assembly.
The arrangement should look like Fig 10a.
3) Now position one of the loose coals into the
centre of the stove ensuring that it is placed into
the centre cutout and when in position, this coal
will be resting upon the four corners of the base
matrices. See Fig. 10a & b.
4) Next, take 6x coals and place along the front
row of the base matrices, 3x to the left of the centre coal and 3x to the right of the centre coal.
Observre the cutout positions within the matices
as shown in Fig. 10b & 10c.
5) Take the remaining 4x coals and place along
the upper edge to the base matrices. Again, place
the coals into the areas shown in Fig 10b. The
coal set layout is now complete and should look
like Fig 10d & 10e.
