11.Chimney fire

11.1If 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.

11.2Do 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**.

12.GENERAL CLEANING

12.1Clean 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.

Do not use abrasive cleaner or cleaning pads.

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.

13.1Sometimes 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.

13.2Before re-lighting the appliance dry the glass fully.

13.3Do not use abrasive cleaner or cleaning pads.

14.CHIMNEY SWEEPING

14.1To 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.

14.2The chimney, any connecting flue pipe and the appliance flue ways, if incorporated, must be regularly cleaned.

14.3Ensure adequate access for cleaning where it is not possible to sweep through the chimney.

14.4If 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.
