2.USING THE STOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME

2.1When 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.

2.2During 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

3.1Wood: - Burn only seasoned timber, with a maximum cut length of 300mm.

3.2Do not burn painted, impregnated/treated wood, manufactured board products, construction timber or pallet wood.

3.3To 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.

3.4Solid 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.

3.5Fuel consumption at nominal heat output as tested to the requirements of EN13240 for intermittent heat output:

Description	Fuel Consumption
	Kg/Hour	Kg/Hour
	Wood	Briquetted
	(300mm long)	Smokless Fuel
Exe Double Double	3.5	1.2
Devon Single Double	3.5	1.6
Devon Double Double	4.5	2.2
County Single Double	5.1	2.3
County Double Double	6.9	N/A

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 0845 601 4506. Or their web site at www.solidfuel.co.uk

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)

4.1Open the Airwash controls fully, open the Primary air control to approximately 25% open.

4.2Place 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.

4.3To 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.

4.4As 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.

4.5As the fire becomes established close the Primary air control and control the burn rate using the Airwash controls only.

4.6To 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.

4.7Before 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.

4.8Allow 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.
