1. GENERAL CLEANING

Before any cleaning is carried out, allow the stove to cool thoroughly to avoid risk of burns.

1.1We would recommend that your Yeoman stove be cleaned fully on a regular basis, according to the level of use. Attention should be given to cleaning the baffle system, flueways and removing ash. Regular cleaning and preventive maintenance will help give many years of safe use.

1.2The external paintwork may be cleaned using warm soapy water and a soft clean cloth. Wipe dry with a soft clean cloth before re-lighting. Do not leave unit without drying, as this may cause rust.

2.CLEANING GLASS

2.1While the correct use of the Airwash system, and good quality fuel, will generally keep the glass clean when the appliance is used you may sometimes need to clean the glass.

2.2This can be done as follows. Allow the Yeoman stove to cool fully, never attempt to clean hot glass. Any deposits can be removed using a soft cloth and Glass Cleaner.

2.3Before re-lighting the appliance, dry the glass fully.

2.4Do not use abrasive cleaner or cleaning pads.

3.CHIMNEY SWEEPING

3.1We would recommend that to maintain the safe and efficient use of the appliance the flue / chimney is inspected and swept at least once a year, by a NACS Registered (UK only)/ INFO Registered (Eire only) chimney sweep who will issue you with a certificate confirming the work completed and the condition of the flue/chimney.

4. ANNUAL SERVICE

At the end of the heating season it is recommended once the stove is cold, to strip, inspect and clean the stove as detailed: -

4.1Carefully remove all of the following internal parts. Internal Baffle, Complete grate, and Ashpan. See sections 5 and 6 pages 10 and 11 for the instructions on how to remove the baffles.

4.2Vacuum clean any remaining ash and debris from the inside of the stove. We offer a filter/collection unit that attaches to and protects your vacuum cleaner from the fine ash. Ash Clean (Part no. 2091).

4.3Clean the internal surfaces, baffles and grate parts of the stove using a wire brush and scraper as required and check the parts for any damage. Replace any damaged parts. Vacuum and brush the resulting debris from the stove, then give the inside of the stove a protective coating of light oil such as WD40®.

4.4Check the parts for any damage. Replace any damaged parts.

4.5Re-fit cleaned internal parts.

4.6Remove the glass from the doors, see section 7, page 11 and discard all old rope seals.

4.7Remove the door rope seal from the outer edge of the doors and clean the old glue from the door sealing rope groove.

4.8Clean the door glass using Stove Glass Cleaner and

a soft cloth, do not use abrasive cleaners to remove tar or soot deposits from the glass.

4.9Replace the glass edge seal with new and re-fit the glass into place in the doors.

4.10Fit new door rope seal, gluing it in place with a generous bead of Thermic Seal Glue into the rope locating groove. Press the new door sealing rope into the locating groove, placing the joint in the middle of the lower edge

of the door. When fitting new door seals we recommend closing the stove door and leaving for at least 12 hours before using. This allows the adhesive to fully bond to the seal before use.

4.11Lightly oil the door catch mechanisms and hinge pins. Avoid getting oil onto the door seals and glass.

4.12To refresh painted finishes it is possible to re-paint using stove paint.

4.13We recommend that only genuine Yeoman replacement parts are used to keep your appliance in safe and efficient working order. Your local Yeoman dealer will be able to provide you with the genuine parts you require.
