OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FIREBOX LININGS & THROAT PLATE The Nouveau 7 Multifuel stoves 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 17 to install these. MULTIFUEL GRATE The Aarrow Multifuel grate comprises of a series of reciprocating cast iron bars seated on a pivoted "comb".
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS INTERLOCK SYSTEM FIRE DOOR GLASS Nouveau fires are fitted with an "interlock" system. A situation where the fire door is closed and the ash door is open may lead to serious over firing which could damage the appliance. Correct use of the doors and interlock system will ensure that this does not happen. If necessary the glass can be replaced as follows: Operation is as follows: A pivoted lug prevents closure of the fire door, unless the ash door has been shut first.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DOOR ADJUSTMENT FUEL RETAINER BARS The catch can be adjusted by sharply tapping the catch on the inside of the door. Fuel retainer bars are supplied with the fires. When burning wood, 1 fuel retainer bar is used, affording a better view of the fire. Slide and lift the bar until it is clear of the guides at each side, and remove through the fire door opening. The bars are symmetrical and of even lengths making incorrect fitting impossible.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FUEL TYPES Wood- Any type of wood is suitable provided it is well seasoned and has a moisture content below 20%. This usually implies that the timber has been suitably stored to allow moisture to evaporate for at least nine months in the case of soft woods, and at least eighteen months in the case of hard wood. We recommend that for general burning, wood should be split into logs of no more than 130mm (5") diameter. Larger logs can be used for overnight burning.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE READ & UNDERSTOOD THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LIGHTING THE FIRE. ALWAYS WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE FIRE GLOVES WHEN REFUELLING YOUR STOVE. SOLID FUEL BURNING •Set the grate to ‘coal’ position. •Ensure that the ash pan is in position and the fire doors are closed. •Set the air wash to one quarter open position. •Set the primary inlet to the fully open position •Light in the normal manner with paper and kindling, or use a fire lighter.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ASH REMOVAL The ash pan should be emptied at least twice a day or when the level of ash reaches the top of the ash pan. On no account should the ash be allowed to build up to touch the grate as this will greatly shorten its life. DE - ASHING It is necessary to maintain an ash layer on the upper surface of the grate bars, in order to protect them so de-ashing should cease as soon as the first red embers drop into the ash pan.
SERVICING ANNUAL MAINTENANCE It is important that your fire is regularly serviced in accordance with these instructions. This should be carried out at least annually by a qualified person and should consist of the following. Remove the firebricks lining and throat plate, inspect all gaskets on doors, glass etc., and re-order any items that may need replacing, from your Aarrow dealer.

The Building Regulations for England and Wales 2000 ref Approved Document J 2002 edition (issued by the DTLR). The Building Standards (Scotland) (Consolidation) Regulations. Detailed recommendations for installation of appliances, chimneys and flues are outlined in the current issue of the following British Standards:BS6461, BS8303 and BS4543.
INSTALLATION FIREBOX LINER PANELS The Nouveau 7 Multifuel stoves use firebox liner panels to the base, sides and back. The Nouveau 7 Multifuel stoves have reflective liners to the sides and back. The throat plate sits on top of the side and rear panels. These should come fitted to your fire, if however they are not proceed as follows to fit them. •Remove the front fuel bars or multifuel grate. Fig. 9 Liners inserted in Nouveau 7 •Set the small liner into the back of the fire. •Insert side liner panels.
INSTALLATION MULTIFUEL GRATE GRATE BAR REPLACEMENT GRATE After extended use it may be necessary to replace some of the grate bars. Periodic inspection of the bars is recommended and the removal of any nails or wire that may be present after burning wood. All the grate bars in each appliance are identical and can easily be lifted out after removal of the fuel retainers. Remove damaged grate bars and replace with casting of the same type, fitting as per instruction above.
INSTALLATION FITTING THE FLUE OUTLET AND HOT PLATE The flue outlet spigot is found inside the appliance. The hot plate (blanking plate) is supplied fitted to the top opening and is removed by turning clockwise (as is the flue outlet). Smear a very thin layer of fire cement on the faces of the flue outlet and the blanking plate. Fit the outlet to the appliance in the desired position .
INSTALLATION Due to the gradual introduction of European Chimney Standards chimneys will be specified according to their performance designation as defined in BS EN 1443 that covers the General Requirements for chimneys. The minimum performance designation required for use with solid fuel burning stoves is T450 N2 S D3. The flue and chimney installation must be carefully checked by a competent person before fitting the stove to ensure it is suitable and will work safely. If the chimney is old (i.e.

INSTALLATION ADD IN BOILERS Nouveau 7 multifuel stoves offer the option of a cantilever boiler or a slab boiler, which occupies the position of the rear firebox liner panels. Fitting: •Remove the fuel retainers, rear firebox liner panels and throat plate. •Knock out the blanking discs in the back plate corresponding to the terminals on the boiler.
INSTALLATION Primary flow and return pipes should be 28mm diameter. The cylinder should be installed at a higher level than the appliance, and as close to it as possible (the higher the cylinder the faster the circulation). The flow and return pipes should not be longer than 20ft each. Pipe runs should rise continually from the boiler to the cylinder. A radiator of approximately 25 sq.ft.
