Never leave the stove unattended for long
periods without first adjusting the controls to a
safe setting.
Careful air supply control should be exercised at
all times.
F UME E MISSION
Properly installed and operated, this appliance
will not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de-
ashing and refuelling may occur. Persistent
fume emission must not be tolerated.
This appliance should not be operated with the
door open
If fume emission does persist then the following
action should be taken immediately –
Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
Let the fire out, or eject and safely dispose
of fuel from the appliance.
Check for flue/chimney blockage and clean
if required.
Do not attempt to relight the fire until the
cause has been identified and corrected.
If necessary seek professional advice.
A DVERSE W EATHER
In a small number of installations, occasional
local weather conditions (e.g. wind from a
particular direction) may cause downdraught in
the flue, causing the stove to emit fumes.

Installation
Instructions
CHIMNEY
The chimney height and the position of the
chimney terminal should conform to Building
Regulations.
Check that the chimney is in good condition,
dry, free from cracks and obstructions.
The diameter of the flue should not be less than
12 mm and not more than 200mm.
If any of these requirements are not met, the
chimney should be lined by a suitable method.
If there is no existing chimney then either a
prefabricated block chimney in accordance with
Building Regulations Approved Document J, or a
twin-walled insulated stainless steel flue to BS
EN 1856 can be used. These chimneys must be
fitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and Building Regulations.
If the chimney is believed to have previously
served an open fire installation, it is possible
that the higher flue gas temperature from the
stove may loosen deposits that were previously
firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue
blockage. It is therefore recommended that the
chimney is swept a second time within a month
of regular use after installation.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of
your chimney, consult your local
dealer/stockist.
CONNECTION TO THE CHIMNEY
The chimney must be swept before connection
to the stove.
An existing fireplace opening can be bricked up
or sealed with a register plate.
A short length of flue pipe of minimum 12 mm
internal diameter may then be used to connect
the stove to the chimney. This flue pipe should
be made of 316 grade stainless steel or vitreous
enamelled steel, nominal thickness 1.2mm.
Ensure that the pipe end is no closer than
6mm to the chimney walls.
The length of any horizontal run of flue pipe
must not exceed 125mm.
It is essential that all connections between the
stove and chimney-flue are sealed and made
airtight.
Both the chimney and flue pipe must be
accessible for cleaning and if ANY part of the
chimney cannot be reached through the stove
(with baffle removed), a soot door must be
fitted in a suitable position.
FLUE DRAUGHT
If the draught exceeds the recommended
maximum, a draught stabiliser must be fitted so
that the rate of burning can be controlled and
to prevent over firing.
If the reading is less than the recommended
minimum then the performance of the
appliance will be compromised.
The flue draught should be checked under fire
at high output.

COMMISSIONING & HANDOVER
Upon completion of the installation, allow a
suitable period of time for any fire cement and
mortar to dry out.
A small fire may then be lit and checked to
ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the
stove up the chimney and emitted safely to
atmosphere.
Do not run the stove at full output for at least
24 hours.
On completion of the installation and
commissioning, ensure that the operating
instructions and operating tools for the stove
are left with the customer.
Advise the customer on the correct use of the
appliance with the fuels likely to be used on the
stove and warn them to use only the
recommended fuels for the stove.
Advise the user on what to do should smoke or
fumes be emitted from the stove.
The user should be warned to use a fireguard to
BS 8423 in the presence of children and/or
infirm persons.

JINECO01 RevG 11/06/12
Operating
Instructions
This appliance is not suitable for use in a shared
flue
Operation with the door open can cause excess
smoke. This appliance must not be operated
with the door open
AEROSOL SPRAYS
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the
stove when it is alight.
AIR CONTROLS
This stove has been designed to burn far more
efficiently than a traditional stove, with the
obvious notable feature of clean glass.
However, for this product to work properly it
must be used correctly. To prevent excess
smoke emissions, the air controls of this
appliance must only be operated as directed in
the instructions.
It is essential that the stove has an adequate air
supply for combustion and ventilation.
P RIMARY A IR
Primary air is controlled via the slider in the
door. The amount of air can be increased by
moving the slider to the right. The slider can be
unlocked from its position by twisting the
control knob anti-clockwise. Once the slider is in
the desired position it can be locked by turning
the control knob clockwise.
This provides a conventional air draught to the
bed of the fire.
S ECONDARY A IR
Secondary air is controlled via the slider above
the door; it is this “Airwash” that keeps a clean
and uninterrupted view of the fire. The amount
of air can be increased by moving the slider to
the right.
T ERTIARY A IR
Tertiary air aids in good secondary combustion
of the fuel and reducing emissions into the
chimney and environment.
Tertiary air can be controlled by adjusting the
cover plate on the back of the stove.
Warning! - This Appliance will be hot when in
operation and due care should be taken.
We advise that suitable gloves are used when
operating the Primary and Secondary air
controls, and when opening the door.
RIDDLING GRATE
Your Hunter Stove is fitted with a locomotive
type grate. So that de-ashing can be carried out
cleanly and easily, it is riddled from the outside
of the stove with the doors closed.

JINECO01 RevG 11/06/12
To burn wood, push the operating tool up and
away from you.
When left in this position, air is restricted
through the bed of the fire providing a solid
base to build up a bed of ash.
Surplus ash can be removed either by gentle
riddling or with a shovel.
It might prove beneficial when burning more
reactive fuels to leave the grate in a “neutral”
position, thus directing some under fire air and
some over fire air to the firebed.
NOTES ON WOOD BURNING
With a full load of wood, the stove will need to
be refuelled approximately once every hour.
Wood can be stacked in the stove, but care
must be taken that logs do not touch the baffle.
Overloading the stove can cause excess smoke
to be emitted.
Wood burns most efficiently with the secondary
air valve lever in the open position and the
primary control closed. Moving the secondary
control will control the burn rate of the stove.
Note - primary and secondary air is needed to
light the stove, see section entitled ‘Lighting the
Stove’
Wood burns best on a bed of ash and it is
therefore only necessary to remove surplus ash
from the stove occasionally.
Refuelling must be carried out with a sufficient
quantity of glowing embers and ash, so that the
new fuel charge will ignite quickly. If there are
too few embers, add some kindling to prevent
excessive smoke.
LIGHTING THE STOVE
We recommend that you have two or three
small fires before you operate your stove to its
maximum heat output.
This is to allow the paint to cure in steadily and
to give a long service life of the paint finish.
During this curing in process you may notice an
unpleasant smell. It is non-toxic, but for your
comfort we would suggest that during this
period you leave all doors and windows open.
To light the stove open the primary and
secondary air controls by pushing both levers
fully to the right. Light one or two firelighters
placed centrally on the grate, allowing the
flames to become established before placing
several pieces of small dry kindling in a criss-
cross fashion above the firelighters, taking care
not to smother the fire. Close the stove door.
Once the kindling is well alight open the door
and build the fire by gradually adding slightly
larger pieces of wood, closing the door
afterwards.
Once you have a good fire established across
the grate bed, further fuel can be added as
required and the air controls set to the correct
position (see ‘Notes on Wood burning’).
Should the fire fail to light correctly open the
door and use a poker to spread the fuel across
the grate. Close the door and allow the fuel and
stove to cool before attempting to relight the
fire.
N.B. Leaving the air controls in the closed
position, adding too much fuel or using wood
that is wet or too large will prevent the fire
from establishing correctly and may result in
smoke emission from the stove.

JINECO01 RevG 11/06/12
REDUCED COMBUSTION
In order to shut down the stove, close the
primary control, then close the secondary air
slider by moving the handle all the way to the
left.
If the controls are left in this position, the fire
will be starved of air and will die down.
If you want to revive the fire it is recommended
that the primary air control is open first, and
then open the secondary air slider.
Warning!- The stove will remain hot for a
considerable time after the fire has been
extinguished.
THE CLEAN AIR ACT 1993 AND SMOKE
CONTROL AREAS
Under the Clean Air Act 1993 local authorities
may declare the whole or part of the district of
the authority to be a smoke control area. It is an
offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a
building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler
if located in a designated smoke control area. It
is also an offence to acquire an "unauthorised
fuel" for use within a smoke control area unless
it is used in an "exempt" appliance ("exempted"
from the controls which generally apply in the
smoke control area).
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food
and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act to
authorise smokeless fuels or exempt appliances
for use in smoke control areas in England. In
Scotland and Wales this power rests with
Ministers in the devolved administrations for
those countries. Separate legislation, the Clean
Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, applies in
Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement
that fuels burnt or obtained for use in smoke
control areas have been "authorised" in
Regulations and that appliances used to burn
solid fuel in those areas (other than
"authorised" fuels) have been exempted by an
Order made and signed by the Secretary of
State or Minister in the devolved
administrations.
Further information on the requirements of the
Clean Air Act can be found here:
http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/
Your local authority is responsible for
implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including
designation and supervision of smoke control
areas and you can contact them for details of
Clean Air Act requirements
The eco 1 has been recommended as suitable
for use in Smoke Control Areas when burning
wood logs.
RECOMMENDED FUELS
Hunter Stoves recommend that wood logs are
burnt in this appliance.
Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood, which
should have been cut, split and stacked for at
least 12 months, with free air movement
around the sides of the stack to enable it to dry
out.
Burning wet or unseasoned wood will create
excess smoke emissions, tar deposits in the
stove and chimney and will not produce a
satisfactory heat output.
Only authorised smokeless fuels or dry wood
logs may be legally burnt on this appliance in
smoke control areas.
Warning! - Petroleum coke fuels or household
waste must not be burnt on this appliance.

JINECO01 RevG 11/06/12
This appliance should not be used as an
incinerator.
No liquid fuels should be burnt on this
appliance.

GENERA
MAINTENANCE
This appliance requires regular maintenance by
a competent person.
BAFFLE
This should be removed and cleaned at least
once a month to prevent any build up of soot or
fly ash that could lead to blocked flueways and
dangerous fume emission.
If the baffle is removed the chimney/flueway
can be swept through the appliance.
STOVE BODY
The stove is finished with a heat resistant paint
and this can be cleaned with a soft brush.
Do not clean whilst the stove is hot.
The finish can be renovated with Hunter Stoves
paint.
GLASS PANEL
Clean the glass panel when cool with Hunter
Stoves glass cleaner.
Highly abrasive substances should be avoided as
these can scratch the glass and make
subsequent cleaning more difficult.
Wet logs on heated glass, a badly aimed poker
or heavy slamming of the door could crack the
glass panel.
The glass will not fracture from heat.
FIREBRICKS
In normal use, these can last for many years. It
is possible however, to crack them if logs are
continually jammed against them or if they are
frequently struck with a poker.
Check periodically for seriously cracked bricks,
which can be replaced with new, available from
your dealer.
DOOR CATCH
The door catch may require adjustment to
maintain the door seal.
To adjust the catch:
 Loosen the M6 grub screw.
 Rotate the catch shaft one complete turn to
achieve the correct door operation.
 Tighten the grub screw.
ROPE
Check the rope around the door. If rope is
becoming detached, use Hunter Stoves rope
glue to reattach it. If the rope is in a poor

JINECO01 RevG 11/06/12
condition, a replacement rope kit may be
ordered from the Hunter Stoves spares range.
CHIMNEY AND FLUEWAYS
It is important that the chimney, flueways and
any connecting flue pipe are swept regularly.
This means at least once a year for smokeless
fuels and at least twice a year for wood and
other fuels.
The baffle will need to be removed from its
supports in order to sweep the chimney (see
assembly instructions).
Only wire-centred sweeps’ brushes fitted with a
guide wheel should be used.
If it is not possible to sweep all parts of the
chimney through the appliance, ensure there is
adequate access to cleaning doors.
SEASONAL USE
If the appliance has been unused for a long
period of time, such as during the spring and
summer months, the chimney should be
checked for potential obstructions by a
competent person before lighting the stove.
GASKETS
All gasket used on this appliance are produced
from a heat resistant material called Manniglas.
The glass gasket will have to be replaced when
a new piece of glass is fitted as the gaskets
become brittle after firing the stove.
Over time you may also find that the gasket
changes colour.
This is due to a reduction in the pigment used in
the manufacture of the product and no cause
for concern.
Troubleshooting
FIRE WILL NOT BURN
Check that:
 The air inlets are not obstructed in any way.
 Chimneys and flueways are clear.
 A suitable fuel is being used.
 There is an adequate air supply into the
room.
 An extractor fan is not fitted in the same
room as the stove.
 Flue draught is above minimum level (see
installation instructions).
FIRE BLAZING OUT OF CONTROL
Check that:
 The doors are tightly closed.
 The air controls are all in the closed
position.
 A suitable fuel is being used.
 The glass retaining clips are not loose.
 The door rope seals are in good condition
 Flue draught is below maximum level (see
installation instructions).
