3. SAFETY NOTES
The Exminster gas stove is designed to be used with
either Natural Gas or LPG, however each individual
appliance is only capable of using the gas specified on
the data plate. It is important to note that once a gas
type has been specified, the stove cannot be used with
any other gas. The type of gas the stove is capable of
burning is stated on the data plate located on the front
of the stove, by the control knob, check that the
appliance has been correctly supplied.
Installation of your Yeoman Stove must comply with
current Building Regulations. Yeoman Stoves therefore
recommend that a CORGI engineer be employed for
this task. The engineer will provide you with
information about the safety limits of the installation
and should fix a notice plate in a place where it can be
readily seen, eg: next to the electricity meter.
This appliance must never be operated with the doors
open or removed, or if the glass is broken. This
appliance is designed as an efficient heating device and
consequently all body parts of the stove become very
hot in use. Except for the control knob and control
access door, which are designed to stay cool, all other
parts are working surfaces and should not be touched.
The glass and door on this appliance act as a fireguard
conforming to BS:1945 – 1971 and satisfies the Heating
Appliance (Fireguards) Regulations 1991. No part of
the glass or door should be permanently removed. It
does not give full protection for young children or the
infirm, extra protection conforming to BS 6539 or BS
6778 should be considered for these conditions.
Bearing in mind that the heat given off by this
appliance may affect articles placed close to it, curtains
should not be placed within 300mm.
The appliance is not designed as a dryer. It is not
therefore recommended that the appliance be used in
such a manner. Do not place any articles within 300mm
of the stove as this may result in damage to the articles.
4. OPERATING THE STOVE
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ THESE
INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE
LIGHTING THE STOVE.
The stove will produce an odour and/or smoke for the
first few hours of use when new. Please ventilate the
room when first lighting from new.
This appliance incorporates an O.D.S (Oxygen
Depletion Sensor) in the pilot assembly on the burner,
which is non-adjustable.
Its purpose is to monitor the air condition in the room
and cut off the gas to the appliance before the air
condition in the room reaches any harmful levels.
The O.D.S must only be replaced with Yeoman original
parts.
The controls for the stove are located behind the access
door positioned under the front of the stove. To access,
open the door by pulling from the right hand side.
The Exminster operates with a permanent pilot light.
The pilot light is located in the centre of the burner and
is visible through a cut-out in the ceramic matrix. If the
Flame Supervision Device Actuating Flame (the Pilot
Light) is extinguished either by intention or not, no
attempt should be made to re-light until 3 minutes have
elapsed.
Important: Immediately after lighting, the stove must
be left on HIGH for ten minutes in order to warm up
the flue.
4.1 REMOTE CONTROL (MANUAL
OPERATION)
a) Igniting the Pilot Light
1. Turn the left hand knob slightly anti-clockwise towards
the ignition position until reaching stop, depress and
hold for five seconds (only pilot gas flows). See Fig. 1.
2. Whilst still depressed, turn further in a anti-clockwise
direction to activate the piezo. If the pilot does not
light, steps 1 and 2 can be repeated immediately.
3. Continue to keep the knob depressed for a further 10
seconds, after the pilot has been lit.
4 Upon releasing the knob, the permanent pilot will
remain lit, if not return to 1.
