9. Care for your Arada stove
The need for regular maintenance on your stove will ensure, safe and efficient use of your
appliance. The following item listing should be checked and inspected by a competent
person or engineer on a regular basis.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE STOVE IS UNLIT AND COLD, BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO INSPECT THE BELOW ITEMS -
9.1 Adjusting the door hinges
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 or catch. This is quite
normal and due to the settling of the casting.
If the fire door needs to be raised, please follow the instructions below:
Open the fire door so that it is at right angles to the front of the stove and support the door
assembly on blocks of wood etc.
Remove the 2 no. screws and top hinge retaining plate, (please note it may be necessary
to loosen the 2 no. screws in the lower hinge retaining—DO NOT REMOVE) carefully
move the door assembly away from top hinge pin.
Drop one washer over the top hinge pin.
Align the door assembly onto the hinge and re-fit the hinge retainer plate.
Check & repeat again if necessary, for fitment.
9.2 Liners / firebricks
The stoves liners (also known as firebricks) may become cracked after long periods of
heavy use or after being knocked by the loading of fuel or a poorly aimed fire poker. If the
liners are still staying in situ and are able to support the throat plate correctly there is no
need to replace them. Cracked liners will not in themselves effect the performance of the
stove.
9.3 Throat plate & secondary throat plate
The Farringdon Eco stove models contain two throat plates.
The outer throat plate can be removed from the stove, by lifting the throat plate up and
swinging the bottom edge towards you. Whilst doing this, disengage the top lip from the
upper location bracket. Rotate the throat plate, diagonally across the firebox, manipulating
the plate through the door opening.
The secondary throat plate will be exposed, once the outer has been removed. To remove
the secondary (inner) throat plate, simply push up, together will pulling the unit towards
you. Once the location slots are free from the positioning pins, withdraw the unit from the
stove.
Any accumulated deposits should be cleaned off, this is best done with a brush.
Whilst doing so, inspect the throat plate for any damage.
Replacement throat plates can be sourced from your local dealer or via the internet at
