Do not place hot ash in any container made from plastic or any other combustible material.

—De-ash at least once a week or when ashpan is full.

8.EXTENDED burning

8.1It is possible to get the appliance to burn for extended periods of time. In order to do this:

—De-ash prior to final refuelling.

—Set air controls to low combustion settings.

This will gradually blacken the glass but it will clear when operated at a high temperature for a short period.

—Use smokeless fuel or small, thick logs.

9.OVER-FIRING

9.1Do not over-fill with fuel or run at high temperatures for long periods or over-firing can occur. If the flue pipe, flue collar or top plate glow red the appliance is over-firing. Close the air controls to reduce the temperature.

9.2Over-firing can cause permanent damage to the appliance and invalidate the product warranty.

Warning: Do not operate the appliance with the Primary Air Control open for long periods of time as this could cause over- firing and may cause permanent damage.

10.Chimney fire

10.1If 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.

10.2Do not use the appliance after a chimney fire until:

a)It has been inspected by a registered installer* who has confirmed 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**.

c)It is repaired as required before re-use. Use only genuine Yeoman replacement parts to keep your appliance in safe, efficient working order.
