Check that the door shuts properly and creates an effective
seal. Leaking door seals prevent the appliance working
properly.
Do not use aerosol sprays near an operating appliance.
13. CLEANING GLASS
Keep the glass clean with correct use of the Airwash system
and good quality fuel.
13.1 Sometimes additional cleaning may be required.
This can be done as follows:
—
Allow appliance to cool fully. Do not clean hot glass.
—
Use a soft cloth and Stovax Glass Cleaner.
13.2 Before re-lighting the appliance dry the glass fully.
13.3 Do not use abrasive cleaner or cleaning pads.
14. CHIMNEY SWEEPING
14.1 To maintain safe and efficient use of the appliance, the
chimney/flue must be inspected and swept at least once a
year by a qualified chimney sweep**.
If the appliance is used continuously throughout the year,
or it is used to burn wood or smokeless fuel, more frequent
sweeping is recommended.
The best time to have the chimney swept is at the start of
the heating season.
The above applies even if burning smokeless fuels.
14.2 The chimney, any connecting flue pipe and the appliance
flue ways, if incorporated, must be regularly cleaned.
14.3 Ensure adequate access for cleaning where it is not possible
to sweep through the chimney.
14.4 If the chimney is believed to have previously served an
open fire it must be swept a second time within a month of
regular use after installation.
11. CHIMNEY FIRE
11.1 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.
11.2 Do not use the appliance after a chimney fire until:
a) It has been inspected by a registered installer*,
confirming 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.
12. GENERAL CLEANING
12.1 Clean and inspect the appliance regularly, especially in
periods of heavy use. Regular cleaning and maintenance
will help give many years of safe use.
Allow appliance to cool thoroughly to avoid risk of burns.
Clean regularly, according to level of use.
Remove the ash completely (see User Instructions,
Section 7).
Check the internal components for damage. Do not use
the appliance if any parts are broken or damaged. Replace
damaged parts with genuine Yeoman replacement parts to
keep the appliance in safe, efficient working order.
Check for obvious build up of soot, ash or debris above the
flue baffle(s) (these can be found in the upper part of the
firebox). Use a torch if necessary.
If there are any signs of a build up of debris above the flue
baffle(s) either:
—
Arrange for the chimney to be swept (see User
Instructions, Section 14).
—
Remove the baffle and clear the debris (see Installation
Instructions, Section 3).
To refresh painted finishes use Stovax Riva Midnight black
metallic paint.
Wipe dry with a soft clean cloth be fore relighting. Always
dry appliance to avoid rust.
