INTRODUCTION
SAFETY
A fireguard conforming to BS 8423: 2002 should
be used in the presence of children and old/or
infirm people. If the appliance is used with the fire
door open, a spark guard conforming to BS 3248
should be fitted.
Do not use aerosol sprays or any other flame
near the appliance under fire.
Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as
the appliance.
Fire cement is caustic, hand and eye protection
should always be worn, prolonged contact with
the skin should be avoided.
Aarrow Fires Ltd will not be responsible for any
consequential or incidental loss or injury
however caused.
Before continuing any further with the installation
of this appliance please read the following guide to
manual handling.
• Always obtain assistance when lifting the
appliance.
• When lifting always keep your back
straight. Bend your legs not your back.
• Avoid twisting at the waist. It is better to
reposition your feet.
• Avoid upper body/top heavy bending. Do not
lean forwards or sideways when
handling the fire.
• Always grip with the palms of your hands.
Do not use fingertips for support.
• Always keep the stove as close to the body as
possible. This will minimise the cantilever
action.
• Use gloves to provide additional grip.
THE PRINCIPLE OF THE FIRE
Your Aarrow Fire 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 it 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 relevant fire safety standards.
Aarrow Fires produce a variety of appliances
ranging from units, which are traditional in style to
stoves which are modern in appearance, all
bristling with "High Tech" features.
Model types include simple room heaters,
convectors, integral boiler models and inset units.
Your Aarrow Fire is constructed from either single
or twin wall steel strengthened where necessary.
Cast iron is used where appropriate for decorative
features.
All fire doors are fitted with special high
temperature ceramic glass panels through which
the fire can be viewed.
Multifuel stoves are fitted with a cast iron grate to
give full multifuel facility and positive de-ashing.
All models except integral boiler models are 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 directs the
flue gas around the whole upper firebox before
allowing it to escape up the chimney.
On multifuel appliances the primary air for burning
enters the ash pit chamber beneath the grate,
controlled by the air inlet mechanism.
Aarrow Fires 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 to provide secondary air/over draught.
The provision of two inlets on all multifuel stoves
gives a wide range of primary air/secondary air,
under draught/over draught combinations.
The optimum settings will only be established by
experience in firing the appliance, and will depend
on type of fuel, the position of the appliance in the
house, condition of chimney etc.

FIREBOX LININGS & THROAT
PLATE
The Sherborne range of Wood and Multifuel stoves
firebox have reflective liners to the sides and rear
and a specially shaped throat plate which sits on the
liners. If these are not in place please refer to page
17 to install these.
MULTIFUEL GRATE
The Aarrow Multifuel grate comprises of a series of
reciprocating cast iron bars seated on a pivoted
"comb". These should come fitted in your stove, if
not please refer to page 18 for fitting and operation
and also operating instructions on fuels for correct
settings of the grate. The multifuel grate is fully
interchangeable with the wood burning tray if you
prefer to burn wood only.
WOOD STOVE - WOOD TRAY
The wood burning tray should come fitted in your
stove, if not please follow these instructions;
place
the wood burning tray inside the fire, locating
the rear lugs into the slots at the rear of both of
the side landings. Then lower the front of the
tray onto the front brace section of the fire (See
Fig.1)
Fig. 1
AIR INLET CONTROLS
Sherborne multifuel stoves have two air inlets:
•The air wash system (so called because its
pre-heated high speed air washes across the inner
face of the door glass, keeping it clear), which
provides over draught, and
•The primary air inlet providing under draught to
the base of the fire chamber through the controls on
the doors of the fires.
PRIMARY AIR FOR SHERBORNE
On the Sherborne, primary air enters the appliance
through the controls on the bottom of the fire
door(s). Moving the control knobs to the right will
increase the air inlet, to the left to reduce the air
inlet, or to seal the ash door completely.
AARROW AIRWASH 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. Sliding it to
the left will shut off the air inlet slots as shown in
Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.
Even when all the slots are completely shut a
"bleed" of secondary air will be maintained
ensuring that inflammable gases are burnt off.
DISASSEMBLE AIRWASH
The air wash may be disassembled for cleaning or
adjustment. To achieve this, the following
procedure should be followed:
This should only be carried out when the fire is cold
and unlit.
•Unscrew (Anti-clockwise) the airwash spring
handle (Fig. 4a).
•Move cover up by tapping each end of the front
cover.
•Lift cover free from body, being careful to not
damage the ends of each lug on the cover (Fig. 4b).
•Unscrew the inner slider and clean/replace
(Fig.4c).
•Refit using the reverse of this procedure.

MULTI - PURPOSE OPERATING
TOOL
Your Aarrow fire comes with a multi-purpose tool,
which is used for riddling, setting the multifuel
grate position. Use the operating tool for setting the
grate in the coal burning position or the wood
burning position. This lever is also used for
de-ashing and riddling see page 13 (multifuel
stoves only) and for emptying the ash pan. (Fig. 5)
Fig. 5 Operating tool and ashpan
FIRE DOOR GLASS
In the event of the door glass being broken it can
easily be replaced. This should be done when the
appliance is cold and unlit:
•The door(s) should be lifted off the hinges so that
the below operations can be carried out on a
workbench or similar level surface.
•Unscrew the two nuts, on the inside of the door
securing the retaining clips.
•Carefully remove any pieces of broken glass, and
sealing gasket wearing suitable gloves.
•Re-place the gaskets and line them up in
relation to the door frame. (Fig.6)
Fig. 6 Lining up the gasket
•Re-seat the new glass, ensuring the sealing gasket
is flat and in contact with the glass. (Fig.7)
Fig. 7 Fitting door glass
•Replace the two retaining clips and nuts. Do not
over-tighten the nuts as damage may occur to the
glass (Fig.8) Re-place the door(s) carefully over
the hinges and slot in place.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DOOR ADJUSTMENT
Once the appliance has been under fire for a period
of time the fire door may appear to have moved out
of alignment with relation to the door aperture. This
is quite normal and due to the settling of the casing.
The fire door can be re-aligned by the user as
follows:
•When the appliance is cold, open the fire door so
that it is at a right angle to the front face of the fire.
•Lift the fire door up off the hinges.
•Gently tap the two hinge pins in a direction to
compensate for the misalignment.(Fig. 9)
•Refit the door and check to ensure it now sits
square to the body; if not repeat above steps.
Fig. 9 Adjusting the Sherborne hinges
FUEL RETAINER BARS
Fuel retainer bars are supplied with 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.
Note: This operation should only be carried out
when the appliance is cold and unlit.
