•Avoid upper body/top heavy bending. Do not
lean forwards or sideways when
handling the fire.

THE PRINCIPLE OF THE FIRE
Your Arden Multifuel 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 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.
Valor produce a variety of appliances ranging from
the traditional to the modern in style and
appearance, all bristling with "High Tech" features.
The fire doors are fitted with special high
temperature ceramic glass panels 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 directs the
flue gas around the whole upper firebox before
allowing it to escape up the chimney.
Valor multifuel 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 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.
