2. USING THE STOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME
2.1 When new, it is best to burn the fire at a low output for the
first few days of use. This will allow the construction to
settle and all fixing glues and paint to fully cure.
Avoid touching the paint during the first period of use.
2.2 During this time the stove may give off some unpleasant
odours, and we recommend that you keep the room well
ventilated during this period to avoid a build-up of fumes.
3. RECOMMENDED FUELS
3.1 Wood: - Burn only seasoned timber, with a maximum cut
length of 300mm.
3.2 Do not burn painted, impregnated/treated wood,
manufactured board products, construction timber or
pallet wood.
3.3 To help avoid large build-ups of tars and creosote within
the stove and the flue system, it is recommended to burn at
maximum output for at least 30 minutes each day. The use
of Stovax Protector chimney cleaner (Stovax part no. 7002)
will also help to reduce this problem.
3.4 Solid fuel: - Burn only manufactured smokeless fuels listed
as suitable for use with closed heating stoves. Do not burn
bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’ or other petroleum based
fuels, as this will invalidate any product guarantee .
3.5 Fuel consumption at nominal heat output as tested to the
requirements of EN13240 for intermittent heat output:

Fuel consumption for canopy models is the same as
equivalent flat top model.
If you require advice on suitable solid fuels contact your
local approved coal merchant. Details can be obtained by
ringing the Solid Fuel Association advice line on Freephone

A number of factors can affect the performance of the
Yeoman stove. Some of these are listed.
4. BURNING WOOD
(WITH OR WITHOUT MULTIFUEL KIT FITTED)
4.1 Open the Airwash controls fully, open the Primary air
control to approximately 25% open.
4.2 Place some pieces of firelighter or dry crumpled paper on
the grate and cover with some small pieces of dry kindling
wood. Light the paper or firelighters.
4.3 To avoid the build-up of condensation on the door glass it is
advisable to leave one door slightly open as the fire
establishes, and the glass warms.
4.4 As the fire becomes established add a few larger pieces of
wood and fully close the door. Do not initially add too
many logs as this may smother the fire. Do not leave the
stove with the door open as this could over-fire the stove
and cause permanent damage .
4.5 As the fire becomes established close the Primary air
control and control the burn rate using the Airwash
controls only.
4.6 To burn wood efficiently it is best to allow a bed of ash to
build-up on the grate, or the base of the stove, and control
the combustion using the Airwash controls only.
4.7 Before re-fuelling the stove it is advisable to first rake the
embers evenly over the firebed then open the Airwash
controls fully for a few minutes, to establish a glowing bed
before adding new logs.
4.8 Allow the new logs to burn at high output for a few minutes
before adjusting the burn rate, with the Airwash controls,
to the desired setting. It is best to refuel little and often to
maintain clean and efficient burning.
