8. EXTENDED BURNING
8.1 It is possible to get the appliance to burn for extended
periods of time. In order to do this:
—De-ash prior to final refuelling.
—Set air controls to low combustion settings.
This will gradually blacken the glass but it will clear when
operated at a high temperature for a short period.
—Use smokeless fuel or small, thick logs.
9. OVER-FIRING
9.1 Do not over-fill with fuel or run at high temperatures for
long periods or over-firing can occur. If the flue pipe, flue
collar or top plate glow red the appliance is over-firing.
Close the air controls to reduce the temperature.
9.2 Over-firing can cause permanent damage to the
appliance and invalidate the product warranty.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH
THE PRIMARY AIR CONTROL OPEN FOR LONG
PERIODS OF TIME AS THIS COULD CAUSE OVER-
FIRING AND MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.
10. CHIMNEY FIRE
10.1 If a chimney fire occurs:
—Shut all air controls immediately.
—Evacuate the building.
—Call the fire brigade.
—Do not re-enter the building until it is confirmed safe.
10.2 Do not use the appliance after a chimney fire until:
a) It has been inspected by a registered installer* who
has confirmed the appliance is safe to use.
b) The chimney system has been inspected and swept by a
chimney sweep, confirming the system is structurally sound
and free from obstruction**.
c) It is repaired as required before re-use. Use only
genuine Yeoman replacement parts to keep your appliance
in safe, efficient working order.
