Damp / Rainy days – These sometimes result in problems

when lighting and maintaining the fire, due to the lower

flue temperatures and smaller difference between indoor

and outdoor temperatures reducing the flue draught. Also,

rain water running down the inside of the chimney reduces

the flue temperatures. To help with this problem care must

be taken to use good quality kindling wood, when starting

the fire, and running the stove at a higher heat setting than

normal for a period after start-up to fully heat the chimney.

It could be possible to fit a rain cowl to the chimney to

reduce this problem. Your appliance installer should advise

you on possible solutions.

If the Yeoman stove emits smoke into the room

continuously close the air controls and allow the stove to

go out, and ventilate the room to clear the fumes.

Do not re-light the appliance until the cause of the

problem is identified and rectified.

9. TROUBLESHOOTING

STOVE GLASS BLACKENING:

This occurs as a result of four possible causes:

1. Incorrect use of airwash – See the detailed operating

instructions which show the correct use of the combustion

air controls.

2. Burning unseasoned wood – See page 7 (section 9.1) for

more information on how to identify when your wood is

ready for burning. Properly seasoned logs will have been

kept for a minimum of a year but are best burnt at 2 years.

3. The stove being burned at too low a temperature - A

good working temperature is 300-500° F (120 – 250° C). A

stove pipe thermometer will help identify this problem.

(Part no 3046). Burning your wood stove with the airwash

control fully open for a period of around 20 minutes ought

to cure this. This might be caused by damping your stove

down overnight.

4. Problems with your flue – in particular insufficient air pull.

If your flue is not doing its job efficiently this can cause

blackening of the glass. A flue which is too short,

experiences a downdraft, needs lining or has too many

bends can promote blackening. If you suspect your flue may

be contributing to the blackening of your stove glass you

should contact the installer or a flue specialist.

Heavy tar deposits should be removed using Glass Cleaner

(Part. 4103 See section 2 page 8).

STOVE GLASS CRACKING:

Please ensure when replacing the glass in your stove that

you do not over tighten the screws on the glass clips as this

will cause stress in the glass and with the intense heating

and cooling of burning your stove it may well cause the

glass to crack.

STOVE IS PRODUCING TAR:

You can recognise this from the following traits:

Very strong pungent smell shortly after the stove is lit and as

the stove heats up, glass blackening and, possibly, can be

seen as a thick, brown and sticky material oozing from your

stove pipe joints.

This is caused by burning damp wood and burning your

stove at too low a temperature. To resolve this only use well

seasoned wood and ensure your stove is operating in the

ideal temperature range. Tar is a major cause of chimney

fires - if you experience problems with tar build up, please

consult a chimney sweep before continued use of your

stove.

Ideal working temperature range is 130°C is 130°C and

240°C (270°F – 465°F). If you fail to close down your

primary air control once the stove has heated up to this

range you may cause your stove to overfire and the

temperature to exceed the ideal range. Overfiring can cause

permanent damage to your stove and will invalidate your

warranty.

10. SEASONAL USE

10.1 If the stove is not going to be used during the warmer

periods of the year it is recommended to clean and service

the stove, see Maintenance and Servicing section (page 9).

10.2 The air controls should be set in the 50% open position to

keep the appliance ventilated, and stop the build-up of any

moisture inside.

10.3 Before re-lighting the stove remove the baffles, clear any

debris that may have accumulated, and check the flue is

clear of any blockages.
