MULTI-PURPOSE OPERATING
TOOL
Your Aarrow stove comes with a multi-purpose
operating tool, which is used for riddling, setting
the multifuel grate *, (fuel position) , adjusting the
air wash control knob and for the removal of the
ashpan.
SETTING THE GRATE
(*Multifuel Version Only)
To use the operating tool for setting the grate in the
coal burning position or the wood burning position,
place the tool over the external round bar extension
, found on the front right hand side of the stove,
(see Fig. 24.), move the lever to the desired position
as indicated upon the bracket fixed to the stove.
This lever is also used for de-ashing and riddling
DE-ASHING (RIDDLE)
It is necessary to maintain an ash layer on the upper
surface of the grate bars, in order to protect them so
de-ashing should cease as soon as the first red
embers drop into the ash pan. Further de-ashing
will cause heat build-up under the grate, which will
considerably shorten its life. This operation should
be carried out with the doors closed to prevent dust
escaping into the room.
•Move up and down vigorously the riddling
lever (ash will fall into the ash pan beneath
the grate). See Fig. 24.
•When de-ashing is complete re-set grate to
previous position.
• Empty the ash pan.
Note: Do not force the riddling lever.
TO EMPTY THE ASH PAN
The Ecoburn stoves are supplied with a unique ash-
pan cover to prevent ash dust from being dispersed
around the room when de-ashing. To remove the
ashpan , open the fire doors. Slide the ashpan cover
over the top of the ashpan, ensuring the two radius
holes are alinged with the slots in the ashpan. Fit
the fork end of the operating tool into the ash pan /
cover and remove from the ash pit chamber.
Empty the ash into a suitable container and replace
ashpan into the stove, withdraw the cover & oper-
ating tool and close the fire doors.
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.
ASH REMOVAL
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 shorten their life span.
When the appliance is burning Wood only, it is
acceptable to maintain an ash bed on top of the
wood tray, of approximately 20mm (3/4'') without
any un-due effect upon the tray.
AIR WASH CONTROL KNOB
The operating tool can also be used to adjust the air
wash control knob. Use the fork end of the tool,
place side onto the knob and push in the desired
direction as in Fig. 26.
