Boiler User Guide For stove ranges: Villager Boilers PLEASE RETAIN THIS GUIDE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE BK595 EN 13240:2001+ Amd.
More than 20 years experience has been put into the development of our boiler stoves to ensure ultimate performance and years of trouble free use and enjoyment. Every detail of the stove has been carefully designed and engineered which is why we are so confident in the reliability of our products.
USER GUIDE OPERATING YOUR STOVE SOLID FUEL Our boiler stoves are designed to be operated with the fire door(s) closed at all times, apart from refuelling (when alight) or cleaning (when cold). Arada recommends the use of HETAS approved smokeless fuels which have been deemed suitable for use on closed appliances, including multi fuel stoves. These include: Never leave the appliance unattended for an extended length of time with the door(s) open.
USER GUIDE A Carbon Monoxide detector is correctly installed in the same room as the appliance. WARNING: An over drawing chimney can cause over firing, resulting in damage to the appliance. Ensure that you have read and understood these instructions before lighting the fire. Do not light the fire if it is suspected that any part of the system could be frozen. Always wear suitable protective fire gloves when refuelling your stove, such as the Arada glove supplied with your stove.
USER GUIDE AIRWASH SYSTEM / SECONDARY AIR BURNING WOOD Set the fire by using scrunched up newspaper and place a layer of dry kindling wood on top of this. The use of two or three fire lighters may assist in lighting the kindling. Set the secondary and additional air inlets to the fully open position. Light the fire. The airwash has an internal sliding plate with slots, housed in a cover plate, and is located above the fire door.
USER GUIDE Whilst burning solid fuel it can be beneficial to occasionally riddle the grate bars so any burnt fuel will fall between the grate bars into the ash pan below. This will ensure a good under draught is maintained. This is done by pulling back and fourth the riddling lever on the front of the stove using the operating tool supplied with the stove. MULTI FUEL GRATE The grate in your stove comprises of a series of reciprocating cast iron bars seated on a pivoted comb.
USER GUIDE REDUCED BURNING 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, fifteen to twenty minutes, twice a day. The additional air inlets can be used to achieve this faster burn rate. Remember to close the air inlets again afterwards as this overrides the stoves automatic thermostatic control.
MAINTENANCE SUMMER STORAGE / NON USAGE Please ensure that your stove is left clean and moving components are well lubricated for the summer months (during periods of prolonged non-use). If possible store the FEDS plate outside of the stove. Check all moveable components at regular intervals, to ensure they are moving freely. Allow air movement through the stove, by opening the airwash and primary air inlet control(s) to about half way, open or leave the door ajar.
