OPERATING
FIREBOX LININGS AND THROAT
PLATE
The Arden Multifuel stove firebox has reflective
liners to the sides and rear and a specially shaped
throat plate which sits on the liners. If these are not
in place please refer to page 8 to install these.
AIR INLET CONTROLS
The Arden multifuel stoves have two air inlets:
•The air wash system (so called because its
pre-heated high speed air washes across the inner
face of the door glass, keeping it clear), which
provides over draught, and
•The primary air inlet providing under draught to
the base of the fire chamber through controls on
the bottom of the stove door.
PRIMARY AIR FOR MULTIFUEL
Air enters the appliance through the control on the
bottom of the fire doors. The Valor Arden has a
single door control knob which slides left and right
to increase or decrease the air intake.
AIRWASH SYSTEM
The air wash has an internal sliding plate with slots,
housed in a cover plate, and is located above the fire
door. Sliding the control knob to the right as far as it
will go achieves the fully open position. Sliding it to
the left will shut off the air inlet slots As shown below.

Even when all the slots are completely shut a
"bleed" of secondary air will be maintained
ensuring that inflammable gases are burnt off.
DISASSEMBLE AIRWASH
The top or bottom may be disassembled for
cleaning or adjustment. To achieve this, the
following procedure should be followed.
This should only be carried out when the fire is cold
and unlit.
•Support Airwash cover with one hand
•Move cover up by smartly tapping the bottom
with a hammer (Fig 6).
•Remove assembly from appliance
•Clean and/or adjust
•Refit using reverse procedure.
