9.4 Fire door seal
The rope seal around the edges of the main fire door should also be checked. Look for
signs of fraying, peeling away or the ends not meeting. If the rope is unable to create a
good seal with the stove body it should be replaced. A poor seal will decrease your ability
to control the burn rate and its efficiency whilst leading to an increase in heat lost through
the flue.
9.5 Cracked glass
It is not recommended to operate the stove with cracked glass; this can lead to over firing
due to air leaking into the firebox and it may fail completely leading to personal injury or a
fire.
You should discontinue use of your stove until it has been repaired. You can source
replacement glass kits from www.aradastovesandspares.com or your Arada dealer.
9.6 Chimney / Flue Sweeping
Sweeping should be carried out with an appropriate sized bristle brush and rods to suit
chimney size and type. As with all appliances regular sweeping of the flue / chimney is
essential to avoid dangers of blockage and the escape of poisonous fumes. Access for
cleaning should also be incorporated in the chimney (eg: soot door or access through the
register plate etc).
It is important that the flue connections, flue pipe and chimney be cleaned prior to lighting
after a prolonged period of non use.
