elderly or the infirm. The fireguard should be
manufactured in accordance with BS8423 –Fireguards
for use with solid fuel appliances.
DO NOT OVER-FIRE
It is possible to fire the stove beyond its design
capacity. This could damage the stove so watch for
signs of over-firing. If any part of the stove starts to
glow red, the stove is in an over-fire 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.
FUME EMISSION
Properly installed, 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 persist, then the following
immediate action should be taken: -
Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.
Let the fire go out, or eject and safely dispose of

PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
PLEASE CHECK THE FOLLOWING:
Any existing chimney/flue system must be confirmed
as suitable for this appliance as defined in Building
Regulations Document J. It must be swept and
inspected, by a competent person (see notes), to
confirm that is structurally sound and free from cracks
and obstructions.
The diameter of the Flue should not be less than
Ø125mm and not more than Ø230mm. Do not
connect to systems that have large voids or spaces. If
any of these requirements are not met, the chimney
should be lined by a suitable method.
If the chimney is suspected of previously serving an
open fire it must be swept again, within a month of
regular use, to clear any soot that may have been
dislodged due to the variation in combustion levels
and higher flue gas temperature levels. The
chimney/flue system exit must comply with Building
Regulations Document J. The minimum height and
should terminate in accordance with Table 1.
CONNECTION TO THE CHIMNEY
An existing fireplace opening can be bricked up or
sealed with a register plate. A short length of flue pipe
of minimum 125mm 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 76mm 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.
Make provision to access the chimney/flue system for
cleaning and the removal of debris. 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 BS4543 can be used. These
chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and Building Regulations.
New masonry and flue block chimneys must meet the
requirements of Building Regulations Document J. Any
connecting flue pipe systems must also meet these
regulations.
Please check the suitability of the fireplace and/or
surround for use with this appliance before installing
it. If you have any doubts about the suitability of your
chimney, consult your local Dealer/Stockist or
Installation Engineer. 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.

COMMISSIONING &HANDOVER
APPLIANCE CHECK
Please check that all components are correctly
assembled and working correctly.
Ensure the Air Controls are working correctly.
Hunter Stoves Group recommend that you carry out a
smoke draw test to check the soundness of the
chimney/flue system and seals:
Place a Smoke Pellet in the centre of the Grate,
ensure that all of the Air Controls are fully open and
close the Door.
The smoke should now be drawn up the chimney and
you should be able to see it exit from the
chimney/flue terminal.
We recommend that you do this test with all of the
windows and doors, to the room where the appliance
is fitted, closed.
If there any adjoining room(s) that have an Extractor
Fan fitted, open the adjoining door to ensure that the
chimney/flue system is not compromised when the
fan is operating. If there is a ceiling fan fitted in the
room, please operate it and ensure that it does not
affect the operation of the chimney/flue system.
If any of these tests fail, please re-check the
suitability of the chimney/flue system together with
the ventilation.
A small fire can now be lit and allow the appliance to
heat up slowly ensuring that no products of
combustion enter into the room.
Carry out a spillage test using a smoke match around
the door opening.
If there is excessive spillage, please allow the
appliance to cool and then re-check the chimney/flue
system and ventilation.
Do not run the stove at full output for at least 24
hours.
On completion of the commissioning:
Upon completion, allow a suitable period of time for
any fire cement and mortar to dry out. Do not run the
stove at full output for at least 24 hours.
Please instruct the user on the safe operation of this
appliance, how the controls work and basic
maintenance requirements.
Ensure that the operating instructions and appliance
tools are left with the customer and the check lists
have been filled out correctly.
Please 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
6539 in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm
persons.
Hunter Stoves Group also recommend that a CO alarm
is fitted into the room where the appliance is located.
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 with windows and doors
closed. To take the reading remove one of the coach
bolts in the flue collar and put the probe in the hole.
Minimum Draught –1.2mm Water Gauge
Maximum Draught –2.5mm Water Gauge
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.

13
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.
Operating Instructions
Read the ‘General Guidance’ Section at the start of
these instructions before operating your stove for the
first time.
Allow sufficient clearance between the stove and
pictures, plasma screen televisions or ornaments etc.,
as these could be damaged and could potentially
create a fire hazard (For more information read the
‘Material Clearance’ section of these installation
instructions).
WARNING –This appliance will be hot when in
operation and due care should be taken. The
supplied operating tool or gloves may be used to
open the door and operate the air controls.
PLEASE NOTE
Your Building Insurance Company may require you to
inform them of this new installation and that the work
has been carried out correctly. Please check your
policy to ensure that it is still valid when this
installation is complete.
USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
We recommend that the appliance is left for 24 hours
after installation to allow the fire cement, fixing glues,
etc. to cure.
With the painted finish 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.
AEROSOLS
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove
when it is alight.
AIR CONTROL
This stove has been designed to burn far more
efficiently than a traditional stove if used correctly,
with the obvious notable feature of CLEAN GLASS.
It is essential that the stove has an adequate air
supply for combustion and ventilation.
AIR CONTROL
A) When the air control rod is pushed in fully
then both the Primary and Secondary air
intakes are in the closed position.
The air intake into the stove is controlled by one
push pull air control rod. Both Primary and
Secondary are operated using this control rod.

14
B) To operate pull the air control rod away from
the stove. For the Primary and Secondary air
to be in the fully open position pull the air
control rod knob away from the stove until it
stops. This is necessary for lighting the stove.
C) The air intake needs to be between 25% - 50%
open to obtain the best result for burning
wood.
Warning! –This appliance will be hot when in
operation and due care should be taken.
We advise that suitable gloves, or the operating tool is
used when operating the air control, and when
opening the door.
Primary Air
The primary air provides a conventional air draught to
the bed of the fire.
Secondary Air
The secondary air is the air control for the airwash
that keeps a clean and uninterrupted view of the fire.
Tertiary Air
The tertiary air aids in good secondary combustion of
the fuel and reducing emissions into the chimney and
environment.
BURNING WOOD
Lighting the Stove
First, load the fire with starting fuel, i.e. paper, dry
sticks and/or firelighters. Light the fire at the base
with the air control fully open (B). 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.
Reduced Combustion
In order to shut down the stove then push the air
control rod fully in (A). 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 then pull the air
control rod until it is fully open (B) then push it in
halfway for normal burning (C).
Warning! -The stove will remain hot for a
considerable time after the fire has been
extinguished.
Notes on Woodburning
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 no higher than the
tertiary air holes at the back of the firebox.
Overloading the stove can cause excess smoke to be
emitted. Wood burns most efficiently with the air
control halfway open (C).
Wood burns most efficiently on a bed of ash and it is
therefore only necessary to remove surplus ash from
the stove occasionally. Ash can be removed with the
tool supplied.
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed
to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission
can occur.
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. After refuelling leave the air control fully
open for one minute before reducing to the desired
setting.
(When refuelling it is important to have a damper in
the open position if you have one.) If a damper is
needed a full size flue collar (CH05010) will need to be
fitted.

15
Maximum Length:
See page 2.
Ensure your logs are well seasoned with a moisture
content of less than 20%
RECOMMENDED FUELS
Hunter Stoves Group recommend that only wood logs
with a moisture content of less than 20% should be
burnt on this appliance.
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.
WARNING - DO NOT BURN BITUMINOUS COAL,
PETRO-COKE, OTHER PETROLEUM BASED FUELS OR
TREATED WOOD SUCH AS PALLETS AS THIS WILL
INVALIDATE THE PRODUCT WARRANTY. HOUSEHOLD
WASTE MUST NOT BE BURNT ON THIS APPLIANCE.

IMPORTANT!
In order to ensure continued compliance with current
Building Regulations and Local Authority Byelaws, this
appliance requires regular maintenance by a
competent person. N.B. Refer to the ‘Removing
Internal Components’ section of the installation
instructions for details on how to remove each
component.
PERIODS OF PROLONGED NON-USE
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged
period, then it should be given a thorough clean to
remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a
good flow of air through the appliance to reduce
condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air
controls fully open. If the appliance has been unused
for a long period, such as during the spring and
summer months, a competent person should check
the chimney for potential obstructions before lighting
the stove i.e. get the chimney swept before the start
of the heating season?
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 flue ways and dangerous fume
emission. If the baffle is removed the chimney/flue
way can be swept through the appliance.
STOVE BODY
Painted Finish - The stove is finished with a heat
resistant paint and this can be cleaned with a dry
microfiber cloth. Do not clean whilst the stove is hot.
At no point should any water based or other cleaning
products be used on the stove. The finish can be
renovated with Hunter Stoves paint.
GLASS PANEL
Printed glass should not be cleaned using cleaners
high in alkaline or acidic content. Clean the glass
panel when cool with a propriety glass cleaner by
applying the cleaner to a cloth. Do not apply directly
to the glass as this could cause run of which could
soak into the rope seals around the edge of the glass.
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.
Should you need to replace a glass panel please
ensure you purchase a new Gasket at the same time.
Please check periodically that the glass clips and
screws have not become loose. They should only be
finger tight to allow for the expansion and
contraction of the glass.
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.

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 or our spares website
www.hunterstoves.co.uk.
DOOR CATCH ASSEMBLY
DIAGRAM A DIAGRAM B
CHANGING THE DOOR HANDLE
ROPE
Check the 12mm rope around the door. If rope is
becoming detached, use rope glue to reattach it. If
the rope is in a poor condition, a replacement rope kit
may be ordered from the Hunter Stoves Group spares
range.
CHIMNEY AND FLUE WAYS
It is important that the chimney, flue ways 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. 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.
Remove screw
holding in door hook.
Pull hook out of hole
in door.
To change the door
handle. Use a 5mm
Allen Key to undo
the screw. Once
screw is removed
handle will come
off. To attach work
in reverse.
The door catch assembly (Diagram A) is
adjustable up and down by loosening the two
screws as shown by the arrows above. A shim
(Diagram B) is also available that can be
fitted/removed without taking the door catch
assembly out of the stove. This allows the
door catch to be moved inwards or outwards.

FLUES
Flue systems have two main functions:
1) To remove the smoke, fumes and combustion gasses from the building safely and efficiently
2) To provide a sufficient amount of flue draught (suction) in the appliance to ensure the fire keeps
burning correctly.
The flue draught is caused by rising hot gases when the appliance is burning.
If any flue issues persist then speak to your installer before continuing to use the stove.
