Multi-fuel Stove
5.10 To burn wood and smokeless fuels a cast iron multi-fuel kit
must be fitted.
Allow the fire to become established before adding the solid
fuel, see section 4.
—Set air controls, see Diagram 11.
5.11 To burn solid fuel efficiently it is best to control the
combustion using the Primary air control only.

5.10 De-ash the grate before re-fuelling (see User Instructions,
Section 7).
Open the Primary Air Control fully to establish a glowing
bed before adding new fuel.
Burn new fuel at a high temperature for a few minutes before
adjusting the Primary Air Control to the desired setting.
Refuel little and often for clean, efficient burning.
When burning solid fuel more primary air will increase the
heat output and burn the fuel more quickly.
A small amount of Airwash can sometimes help to keep the
glass clean but will reduce efficiency.
Always have the Secondary Air Control shut when burning
solid fuel to ensure the maximum efficiency from the
appliance.
5.11 Experience establishes settings to suit personal preference.
5.12 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Primary Air
Control on a low combustion setting for long periods of
time. This reduces the glass cleaning effect of the Airwash
and causes tars and creosotes to build-up in the appliance
and flue system.
User Instructions
5.13 When in use, burning the appliance at a high temperature
for a short period reduces tars and creosotes.
5.14 Only anthracite or smokeless fuels suitable for use in
closed appliances must be burned in this appliance.
5.15 Donotburnbituminouscoal,‘petro-coke’orother
petroleum based fuels as this invalidates the product
guarantee.
5.16 Do not load fuel above the log guard and the Secondary
Air Inlets at the back of the firebox, see Diagram 9.
Shut Down
5.17 If there is still burning fuel in the firebox, Yeoman do not
recommend shutting down the air controls completely
unless there is a chimney fire in progress (see section 9
for advice). Closing the controls during the burning process
will cause poor combustion and could lead to a build up of
gases that could ignite dangerously.
5.18 Always have enough air entering the stove to maintain some
flame within the firebox.
5.19 If it is necessary to shut down the appliance then run on a
high setting until all of the fuel has been burnt before closing
the air controls.
6. Extended Burning
6.1 It is possible to get the appliance to burn for extended
periods of time. In order to do this:
—De-ashpriortonalrefuelling.
— Burn new fuel at a high temperature for a few minutes
before adjusting the Primary Air Control.
— 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.
7. Ash Removal
Do not allow ash to build up as it may cause damage
and adversely effect the performance of the appliance.
Warning: Ash can remain hot long after appliance has
been in use.
7.1 Wood versions only.
—Open Door(s).
—Leave a layer of ash to start the new fire on. Wood burns
best on a bed of ash (approx. 25mm (1") deep).
— Remove ash with a small shovel and place into a Stovax
Ash Caddy (Stovax Part No. 4227) or other suitable container.
Do not place hot ash in any container made from plastic
or any other combustible material.
—De-ash at least once a week.
