Yeoman YM-W9122FL, YM-W9121FL manual Ash Removal, Burning Solid Fuel, With Multifuel Kit Fitted

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

4.9Do not re-fuel the stove above the level of the log guards.

4.10The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation and personal preferences will be established by experience in using the stove.

4.11It is not recommended to load large amounts of logs and burn with the Airwash controls on low settings for long periods of time. This will reduce the effectiveness of the glass cleaning effect of the airwash. Also this will cause a large build-up of tars and creosotes in the stove and flue system.

4.12We would recommend that the stove be burnt at high output for at least 30 minutes each day when it is in use. This will help reduce the build-up of tars and creosotes within the stove and flue system.

Do not burn painted, impregnated wood, pallet wood or manufactured board products.

5.10The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation and personal preferences will be established by experience in using the stove. It is not recommended to load large amounts of fuel and burn with the Primary Air Control on low settings for long periods of time as this will reduce the effectiveness of the glass cleaning effect of the airwash. Also, this will cause a large build-up of tars and creosotes on the appliance and flue system.

5.11We would recommend that the stove be burnt at high output for at least 30 minutes each day when it is in use. This will help reduce the build-up of tars and creosotes within the stove and flue system.

Do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’ or other petroleum based fuels, as this will invalidate any product guarantee.

	5. BURNING SOLID FUEL
	(WITH MULTIFUEL KIT FITTED)
5.1	Open the Airwash controsl to approximately 50% and
	open the Primary air control fully.
5.2	Place 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.
5.3	To 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.
5.4	As the fire becomes established add pieces of solid fuel and

	fully close the door. Do not initially add too much fuel as
	this may smother the fire. Do not leave the stove with the
	door slightly open as this could over-fire the stove and
	cause permanent damage.
5.5	As the fire becomes established reduce the Airwash
	controls to approximately 25% and control the burn rate
	using the Primary air control only.
5.6	To burn solid fuel efficiently it is best to control the
	combustion using the Primary air control only.
5.7	Before re-fuelling the stove it is advisable to first de-ash the
	firebed.
5.8	Open the Primary air control fully for a few minutes, to
	establish a glowing bed before adding new fuel. Allow the
	new fuel to burn at high output for a few minutes before
	adjusting the burn rate with the Primary air control to the
	desired setting. It is best to refuel little and often to maintain
	clean and efficient burning.
5.9	Do not re-fuel the stove above the level of the log guards.

6.1The burning of any fuel will produce ash, which will have to be removed after a period of use. This time will depend on the fuel used. Before removing the ash from the stove it is advisable to let the fire burn down to a low level, or even go out completely. If a multifuel kit is fitted the ashpans can be removed from the stove using the tool provided (see diag. 2), after opening the door and removing drop-in front plate (see diag. 1).

6.2As heat can remain in the ash for a long period after use, care must be taken when removing and carrying the full ashpan. We suggest that the ashpan be carried using gloved hands, or the ash is placed directly into an Ash Caddy (Part No. 4227).

6.3When burning wood the amount of ash will be smaller and may only need removal once every week. To do this, allow the fire to burn out and cool. Then after removing the log retainer, scoop out the ash with a suitable shovel. It is best to leave a layer of ash in the stove to form a bed for the new fire.

6.4Do not place ash in a bin made from plastic or any other combustible material.
