INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
RE D THESE INSTRUCTIONS C REFULLY BEFORE INST LL TION
These instructions cover the basic principles to ensure satisfactory installation of the
stove, although detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site
conditions. In all cases the installation must comply with current Building
Regulations, Local uthority Byelaws and other specifications or regulations as they
affect the installation of the stove. It should be noted that the Building Regulations
requirements may be met by adopting the relevant recommendations given in British
Standards BS 8303, BS 6461 and BS 7566 as an alternative means to achieve an
equivalent level of performance to that obtained following the guidance given in
pproved Document J.
HE LTH ND S FETY PREC UTIONS
Handling
dequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling.
Fire Cement
Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact
with the skin. In case of contact, wash immediately with plenty of water.
As estos
This stove contains no asbestos. If there is a possibility of disturbing any asbestos in
the course of installation then please seek specialist guidance and use appropriate
protective equipment.
Metal Parts
When installing or servicing this stove, care should be taken to avoid the possibility of
personal injury.
IMPORT NT W RNING
This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating
appliance.
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can
cause the stove to emit fumes into the room.
INST LL TION
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 150mm and not more than 230mm. If
any of these requirements are not met, the chimney should be lined by a suitable
method.
The chimney must be swept before connection to the stove.

Where 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 be 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.
If there is no existing chimney then either a prefabricated block chimney in
accordance with Building Regulations pproved Document J, or a twin-walled
insulated stainless steel flue to BS 4543 can be used. These chimneys must be fitted
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and Building Regulations.
Flue Draught
flue draught of minimum 1.2mm to a maximum 2.5mm water gauge is required for
satisfactory appliance performance. The flue draught should be checked under fire at
high output and, if it exceeds the recommended maximum, a draught stabiliser must
be fitted so that the rate of burning can be controlled and to prevent overfiring.
Connection to the Chimney
n existing fireplace opening can be bricked up or sealed with a register plate.
short length of flue pipe of a minimum 150mm internal diameter may then be used to
connect the stove to the chimney. This flue pipe should be of 316 grade stainless steel
or vitreous enamelled, nominal thickness 1.2mm. Ensure that the pipe end is no
closer than 76mm to the side or rear chimney walls.
Ideally, the old fireplace should be filled in so that there is a smooth streamlined entry
into the flueway.
The length of any horizontal run of flue pipe must not exceed 150mm.
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 NY parts of
the chimney cannot be reached through the stove (with baffle brick removed), a soot
door must be fitted in a suitable position to enable this to be done.
Air Supply
The room or space containing this appliance does not need a permanent, unobstructed
air opening.
If a draught stabiliser is fitted, the air opening should be at least 3625mm
2
.
Due consideration should be given to air requirements for any other appliances in the
same room or space.
Material Clearances
The stove can be recessed in a suitable sized fireplace but a permanent free air gap of
at least 150mm must be left around the sides and top and at least 50mm at the back of
the stove to obtain maximum heat output and for access to the rear of the stove.

ll non-combustible walls closer than 300mm to the stove should be at least 75mm
thick.
In all instances the back wall of the fireplace recess and the hearth should be made of
non-combustible material.
llow an apron of a least 300mm at the front of the stove and 150mm on either side.
The hearth on which the stove is to be placed should not be less than 125mm thick
and should be in accordance with the current building regulations.
Care should be taken to level the stove using the adjusting screws in the feet.
The appliance shall be installed on a floor with adequate load-bearing capacity. If the
existing construction does not meet this prerequisite, suitable measures (e.g. load
distributing plate) should be taken to achieve it.

Commissioning and Handover
Upon completion of the installation, allow a suitable period of time for any fire
cement and mortar to dry out. 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. Ensure to
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.
dvise 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 6539 in the presence of children, aged
and/or infirm persons.

Operating Instructions
This appliance is not suitable for use in a shared flue

DO NOT SE AN AEROSOL SPRAY ON OR NEAR THE STOVE WHEN IT
IS ALIGHT.
Air Controls
This stove has been designed to burn efficiently with a relatively low output, for it’s
size. If used correctly this stove will burn far more efficiently than normal with the
obvious notable feature of CLE N GL SS.
However, for this product to work properly it must be used correctly.
It is essential that the stove has an adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation.
Primary Air
The 2 knobs located on the lower parts of the main doors control primary air. This
provides a conventional air draught to the bed of the fire. When both knobs are
pushed towards the centre of the stove the air supply is shut off and when they are
pushed towards the sides of the stove the air is let into the stove
Secondary Air
Secondary air is controlled via the slider above the doors, it is this “ irwash” that
keeps a clean and uninterrupted view of the fire, also aiding in good secondary
combustion of the fuel and reducing emissions into the chimney and environment.
The control is open when pushed to the right and closed when pushed to the left.

Secondary ir Control
Warning! This ppliance will be hot
when
in operation and due care should be taken.
The riddling tool may be used to operate the
door handle.

Damper Assem ly (Optional)
When burning wood, the flue damper assembly may be fitted. When the damper is
set in the open position the chimney draws at full draught, increasing the volume of
airflow through the stove and flue. Shutting the damper restricts the flow, slowing the
rate of burning.
Warning! The flue damper should not be fitted when burning solid fuels.
Multifuel 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. The
grate is designed to burn both wood
and solid fuels.
To burn solid mineral fuels place the
operating tool over the riddling spigot
and pull it down towards you. When
left in that position, air is directed
under and up through the slots in the
firebed, giving the optimum conditions
for burning solid fuels.
It is important that the riddler is used
to remove the ash to ensure airflow
through the firebed and allow the fire
to burn over the entire area of the
grate.
The ashpan should be emptied at least
daily and ash should never be allowed
to build up over a period of time as this
will result in damage to the firebars.
The flat end of the riddling tool can be
used to carry the ashpan.
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 underfire air and some overfire
air to the firebed.
Notes on solid mineral fuel urning
Solid mineral fuel should be placed in the stove so that there is no more than a 30°
incline of the fuelbed from front to back. It should not be stacked above the level of
the rear firebrick as this may result in damage to the stove.
With a full load of fuel, the stove will need to be refuelled approximately once every
3 hours.
Solid mineral fuel burns most efficiently with the secondary air control in the closed
position. The primary valve lever can then be used to control the burn rate of the
stove.
lways de-ash before refuelling and do not let the ash build up to the underside of the
grate bars. Solid mineral fuel produces ash, which if allowed to build up will stifle
the airflow through the Primary air controls and grate. This will eventually cause the
fire to die
.

With some solid mineral fuels a residue of burnt fuel or clinker will accumulate on the
grate, allow the fire to go out periodically to remove this.
Important! - We cannot stress firmly enough how important it is to empty the ashpan
regularly. ir passing through the firebed cools the grate bars. Distortion or burning
out the grate bars is nearly always caused by ash being allowed to build up to the
underside of the grate.
Notes on Wood urning
With a full load of wood, the stove will need to be refuelled approximately once every
1.5 hours.
Wood can be stacked higher in the stove than solid mineral fuel but care must be
taken that logs do not touch the brick baffle.
Wood burns most efficiently with the primary air controls in a partially open position
and the secondary control fully open. 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.
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 tar deposits in the stove and
chimney and will not produce a satisfactory heat output.
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.
First, load the fire with starting fuel, i.e. paper, dry sticks and/or firelighters in the mode
chosen, either wood or solid mineral fuel.
Light the fire at the base leaving all air controls open. Allow the fuel to reach a steady
glow and build the fire up gradually. Once you have a good fire established across the
grate bed, further fuel can be added as required.
Shutting Down
In order to shut down the stove, close the primary air controls and 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 go out.
Warning! The stove will remain hot for a considerable time after the fire has been
extinguished.

Recommended Fuels
nthracite is an approved natural smokeless fuel (not processed) and therefore can
vary greatly in quality and performance. It generally requires excellent air supply and
above average fire-bed temperatures to maintain maximum performance and with
experience we would suggest that it is used in conjunction with other approved
manufactured smokeless fuels as per the HET S approved list.
HET S Ltd. approves the following fuels in closed appliances: -
Coalite
Coalite Nuts
Blazebrite
Homefire
Homefire Ovals
Phurnacite
Mixed Nuts
ncit
Taybrite
Sunbrite Doubles
Cosycoke
Pureheat
Supercoke
Maxibrite
Newflame
Supacite
Fireglo Ovoids
Dragonbrite
nthracite Small Nuts
Wood Logs
pproval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the suitable
fuels listed above, nor does it cover instructions for the use of other fuels.
Only authorised smokeless fuels may be used in smoke control areas.
Warning! - Petroleum coke fuels or household waste must not be burnt on this
appliance.
Should any difficulties arise over fuel quality or suitability, consult your local
approved coal merchant or:

Safety notes for your guidance
FIRES CAN BE DANGEROUS – lways use a fireguard in the presence of children,
the elderly or the infirm. The fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with
BS 6539 – Fireguards for use with solid fuel appliances.
DO NOT OVERFIRE – it is possible to fire the stove beyond its design capacity, this
could damage the stove, so watch for signs of overfiring – if any part of the stove
starts to glow red, the fire is in an overfire situation and the controls should be
adjusted accordingly. 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.
WARNING – FUME EMISSION
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.
If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate action should be taken: -
1. Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
2. Let the fire out, or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.
3. Check for flue chimney blockage and clean if required.
4. Do not attempt to re-light the fire until the cause has been identified and
corrected.
If necessary, seek professional advice.
Important! – Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as this appliance.
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE
• Raise the alarm to let others in the house know.
• Call the Fire Brigade.
• Reduce the appliance-burning rate by closing all air controls.
• Move furniture and rugs away from the fireplace and remove any nearby
ornaments.
• Place a fireguard or spark guard in front of the stove.
• Feel the chimneybreast for signs of excessive heat.
If the wall is becoming hot, move the furniture away. Ensure that the Fire Brigade
can gain access to your roof space in order to check this area for signs of fire spread.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
NO unauthorised modification of this appliance should be carried out.
Baffle Plate
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 brick 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; wait until it has cooled down. The finish
can be renovated with Hunter stove paint.
Glass Panels
Clean the glass panels when cool with a Hunter 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 doors could crack the glass panels. 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
Should the door catch require adjustment, to maintain the door seal, it is adjustable.
Slacken the locking nut, behind the Door Knob, turn the fan catch shaft one turn then
re-tighten the locknut.
Rope
Check the rope around the door and glass. If rope is becoming detached, use Hunter
Stoves rope glue to reattach it. If the rope is in a poor 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 plate 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.
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire, then the chimney should be swept one
month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the
difference in combustion between the stove and the open fire.
