1. GENERAL CLEANING
Before any cleaning is carried out, allow the stove to
cool thoroughly to avoid risk of burns.
1.1 We 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.
1.2 The 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
2.1 While 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.
2.2 This 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.
2.3 Before re-lighting the appliance, dry the glass fully.
2.4 Do not use abrasive cleaner or cleaning pads.
3. CHIMNEY SWEEPING
3.1 We 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: -

groove.

a soft cloth, do not use abrasive cleaners to remove tar or

place in the doors.
4.10 Fit 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.

getting oil onto the door seals and glass.

stove paint.

working order. Your local Yeoman dealer will be able to
provide you with the genuine parts you require.
