• Do Not use aerosol sprays or other flammable materials near the appliance when in use.
• Do Not use the appliance as an incinerator.
• For WOOD & LUMP WOOD CHARCOAL use ONLY. We recommended seasoned dry wood logs with a moisture content of less than 20% for heating purposes and if using the appliance for cooking, then dry lump wood charcoal can be used.
• Pure petroleum coke or Bituminous house coal or MSF (manufactured solid fuels) must NOT be burned in this appliance.
• The use of these fuels will invalidate the appliance guarantee.
• Use only recommended fuels, STRICTLY NO unsuitable and non recommended fuels or materials or liquid fuels allowed.
• A suitable non flammable level surface would be an ideal location for the heater, however, the appliance can be used upon wooden decking or grass, but caution should be exercised when re-fuelling the appliance due to the risk of hot falling ash when the fire door is opened and closed.
• Caution must be exercised during operation of the appliance as both internal and external surfaces will be hot to touch, use suitable stove gauntlets.
• Caution the fire door handle will be HOT when the appliance is in operation, always use suitable stove hot gloves or gauntlets, when opening or closing the door.
• Caution should be used in the presence of children, elderly people and pets should be kept away from the appliance or use a suitable fireguard conforming to BS 8423:2002 could be used.
• Always observe the distances to combustible materials.
• Ensure no soft furnishings or garden foliage, such as overhanging branches, leaves and bushes are susceptible to heat radiating from the appliance.
• Ignoring the warnings could lead to damage/injury to persons and/or property.
• Arada Ltd will not be responsible for any consequential or incidental loss or injury however caused.

Preparation For Use

• Locate a suitable placement for the heater, taking in mind the location of combustible materials and level ground requirements. Moving of the heater is best done using a sack truck, with an additional person steading and guiding the front.
• Remove the outer cardboard packaging and internal plastic bag. See section on recycling.
• Inside the internal storage compartment, there are 4 no. temporary screws holding the appliance to the base packaging pallet, these will need to be removed and the heater carefully moved onto the ground. Again the wooden pallet can be recycled.
• At each of the 4x corners, there are height adjustment screws, these have swivelling heads and can be adjusted accordingly to suit the ground conditions. Use a 12mm open ended spanner (See Fig. 1).
• The door can then be opened with a suitable metal rod or screwdriver inserted into the threaded handle boss. Rotate boss clockwise to open.
• Locate the tapered fire door handle and screw this into the threaded section of the door boss (See Fig. 2).
• Position the 4x vermiculite liners into the firebox, note the 2x shaped ones are fitted at the sides and the rectangular ones to the rear of the fire box (See Fig. 3).
• Next slot the 1metre length of 5 (127mm) flue pipe into the connector. Ensure this is vertical (See Fig.4).
• Finally, place the flue cover on top of the flue pipe. This can be rotated through 360 degrees, so can be adjusted to suit the prevailing wind conditions.

Lighting Your Heater

• Open the fire door.

• Move the air control to the right, this is the maximum open position of the control.(See Fig. 5.)

• Using the ‘Top Down Lighting Technique’, begin to place 2x large logs (approx. 100mm in diameter) in the front to back position, within the base of the firebox.
  (See Fig. 6)

• Next, place smaller logs 180 degrees to the larger logs. Infill these with suitable firelighters.

• On top of the smaller logs, build a grid of kindling and place a further fire lighter on the very top. (See Fig. 7)

• Light the top fire lighter, leaving the door slightly ajar, the structure will start to burn downwards causing the lower combustion products to ignite.

• Leave the door open for approximately 5-10mins, to establish an ash bed.

• Reload on to a hot glowing ember bed with fresh logs, close the fire door.

• Regulate the burn rate and heat output, by reducing the air control. (See Fig. 8)

DO NOT use and flammable liquids for lighting or re-lighting this heater.
During the first lighting an odour may be present, this is normal and will disappear once the paint has cured.
KEEP, Children, elderly and pets away from the appliance during use.

Care Of Your Heater

After use, allow your heater to completely cool. Caution should be exercised, as although the flame may be extinguished, there may be red hot embers or the casing of the appliance may still be HOT.

• Before moving or cleaning the appliance ensure it is cool to touch.
• Do not allow the ash to build up above the base of the door opening, remove the ash if it becomes too high. Dispose of the ash appropriately.
• The door glass can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a touch of wood ash to act as a mild abrasive. For very heavy deposits, a scotchbrite pad can be use gently, with a glass cleaner.
• Cleaning the exterior finish, use a soft brush and a damp lint free cloth.
• Your Garden Heater is designed to be kept undercover and dry when not in use. The upper canopy surface does have a rear facing slope to aid moisture run off, if the appliance does get wet.
• For long term storage over the winter months, we recommend removing the flue and flue cover, fully opening the air control and leaving the fire door ajar. Apply a coating of light oil (linseed) over the exterior and cover with a waterproof tarpaulin.
• After long term storage, inspect the heater for wear and tear or damage. Should external areas need re-painting, only use Arada high temperature aerosol paint, as differing paints may react with the surface finish.
• Replacement parts can be obtained from www.aradastovesandspares.com or your local retailer.

PLEASE NOTE : Discolouring of the exterior finish and surface oxidation is normal, through usage, and adds to the patina of the appliance.
