1. Annual Service
1.1 Before the start of the heating season strip, inspect and
clean the appliance as detailed:
—Allow appliance to cool.
—Remove all internal parts: log guard, baffle, firebricks.
For Multi-fuel versions remove the complete grate and ash
pan. Take care handling firebricks as they can become
fragile after a period of use.
—Sweep the appliance at this point if necessary.
—Vacuum clean any remaining ash and debris from the
inside of the appliance. Stovax offer a filter/collection
attachment for vacuum cleaners to protect them from fire
ash: Ash Clean (Part No. 2091).
—Check the parts for any damage. Replace any damaged
parts using genuine Yeoman replacements parts.
— Clean the internal surfaces of the appliance using a wire
brush and scraper as required.
Vacuum and brush the resulting debris from the appliance.
— Clean the grate parts with a wire brush, and check the
parts for any damage.
— Check and clean the firebricks with a soft brush.
Some surface damage will occur during use. The life of the
bricks will depend on the type of fuels burnt and the level of
use. Replace damaged bricks as soon as possible.
— Re-fit cleaned internal parts.
— Remove and fit new rope seals, see section 4.
— On appliances with printed glass do not use cleaning
agents that have a high alkaline or acidic content, for
example Stovax Gel Cleaner, these are aggressive
cleaning agents designed to be used with heavily
stained clear glass. On printed glass surfaces, use
Stovax Glass Cleaner (Stovax No.4103) which is better
formulated for this application.
Do not use abrasive cleaners to remove tar or soot
deposits from the glass.
— Lightly oil the door catch mechanism and hinge pins.
Avoid getting oil onto the door seals and glass.
— To refresh painted finishes a touch up spray is available.
Contact your Yeoman retailer quoting the serial number
found on the appliance data badge.
