Yeoman YM-CL8W Cleaning Glass, Chimney Sweeping, Care of stove, Seasonal use, User Instructions

USER INSTRUCTIONS

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 13).

—Remove the baffle and clear the debris (see Installation Instructions, Section 4).

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.

12. CLEANING GLASS

Keep the glass clean with correct use of the Airwash system and good quality fuel.

12.1Sometimes 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 suitable cleaner.

12.2Do not use cleaning agents that have a high alkaline content, for example Stovax Gel Cleaner, on appliances with painted glass such as the Studio, View or CL. These are abrasive cleaning agents that are designed to be used with heavily stained clear glass. Use Stovax Glass Cleaner (Stovax No.4103) on more delicate surfaces.

Do not use acidic cleaners on printed glass.

12.3Before re-lighting the appliance dry the glass fully.

13.CHIMNEY SWEEPING

13.1To 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.

13.2The chimney, any connecting flue pipe and the appliance flue ways, if incorporated, must be regularly cleaned.

13.3Ensure adequate access for cleaning where it is not possible to sweep through the chimney.

13.4If 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.

14. Care of stove

Stovax has a range of cleaning and maintenance products and accessories to keep your appliance in good working order. Your Stovax retailer can advise you on suitable items for your stove and provide genuine spare parts such as replacement glass, door sealing rope and firebricks.

15.Seasonal use

15.1Clean and service the appliance if it is not used during the warmer periods of the year, as detailed in the Maintenance and Servicing section.

15.2Set the air controls to 50% to keep the appliance ventilated and stop the build-up of any moisture inside.

15.3Before re-lighting the appliance:

—Remove the baffle.
