Appliance Dimensions
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 it
is structurally sound and free from cracks and obstructions.
The diameter of the Flue should not be less than Ø175mm 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 position 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 175mm 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.

10
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.

NON COMBUSTIBLE -FIREPLACE RECESS
INSTALLATION OF BOILER MODELS
We strongly recommend that a knowledgeable, experienced and qualified plumbing and heating
engineer is responsible for the design and installation of the heating and hot water system. Hunter Stoves
Group cannot accept responsibility for any consequential loss, however caused, due to under or over
specification of the appliance in any installation.
Do Not –Under any circumstances connect the stove to a sealed (pressurised)heating system or unvented hot
water cylinder.
Do Not –Link the stove into a heating or hot water system with an existing boiler without the use
of suitable equipment such as a neutraliser. When fitting this type of system, the neutraliser manufacturer’s
instructions must be followed.
Do –Fit an open cold feed and expansion cistern with separate cold feed and vent pipes. The cold feed and
vent pipes must be unvalved. The open vent pipe should have a diameter of 22mm and rise continuously from
the boiler. It is common practice to form the vent pipe from an extension of the primary flow (see diagram).
Do –Connect the stove to a double feed, indirect hot water cylinder via 28mm copper flow and return
pipework, rising continuously from the boiler to the cylinder. The cylinder and heat leak radiator must be sited
higher than the stove.
Semi pumped systems should be used on heating and hot water systems with gravity circulation to the hot
water cylinder and one unvalved 2 KW radiator to act as a heat leak when the central heating is switched off.
All four tappings on wraparound boilers should be used for systems incorporating separate gravity and
pumped heating loops. Each flow and return should be taken from diagonally opposite sides of the boiler.
If a common flow and return is used, these should also be taken from diagonally opposite sides of a
wraparound boiler, and plugs inserted into the sockets not used.
Systems using a common flow and return to the boiler should incorporate an injector tee on the primary
return connection from the central heating pump (see diagram).
The stove can be recessed in a suitable sized
fireplace but must have a permanent free air gap
of at least 150mm on top and 50mm (although we
recommend 150mm) around the sides and 50mm
at the back of the stove to obtain maximum heat
output and for access to the rear of the stove.
The hearth should extend at least 300 mm from
the front of the stove. The stove should stand
wholly above a solid, non-combustible hearth, at
least 125 mm thick (this may include the thickness
of a solid floor or a non-combustible decorative
hearth.

13
A HIGH LIMIT thermostat should be fitted to the gravity flow pipe close to the boiler and set at 90°C. This
should override any pump control, switching the pump on and dissipating any excess heat around the radiator
circuit.
To prevent boiler corrosion due to condensation it is necessary to maintain the return water temperature
above 45°C. This can be achieved by the use of a LOW LIMIT thermostat on the return pipe from the hot water
cylinder, close to the boiler. The thermostat should make on temperature rise, preventing the circulating
pump from operating until the gravity circuit is up to temperature.
A corrosion inhibitor should be added to the system to ensure satisfactory performance and long system life.
Wiring Diagram for general guidance only
All electrical work must be carried out by a competent electrician in accordance with the rules in force and the
instructions provided by the circulating pump and heating controls manufacturer.

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.
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.
Advice 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, 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.
Minimum Draught –1.2mm Water Gauge
Maximum Draught –2.5mm Water Gauge

16
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
When being heated up for the first time, smells and fumes are often produced. This is a normal chemical
process that allows the specialist heat resistant paint to cure and harden.
Please arrange for good ventilation of the room. Open windows and doors and if necessary, use a ventilator
for fast interchange of air. Heat up to operation temperature for at least one hour. If maximum temperature
is not achieved after heating up, release of odour may appear later.
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.
The air intake into the stove is controlled by one air control lever. Both primary and secondary air valves are
operated using this control lever.
A) To open the primary air intake, pull the air control lever outwards and to close, push it inwards.
SAFETY ADVICE
During the first operation it is highly likely that fumes and smells maybe produced as part of the
normal heat resistant paint curing process, much like a domestic oven. Therefore, good ventilation
during this process is of utmost importance. We recommend that pregnant women, allergic
persons and small children as well as domestic animals, especially birds, should not unnecessarily
stay in subjected areas.

17
B) To open the secondary air intake, slide the air control lever to the right and to close, slide it to the left.
C) When the air control lever is pushed in fully and slid as far to the left as possible, both the Primary and
Secondary air intakes are in the closed position.
D) When the air control lever is pulled all the way out and slid as far to the right as possible, both the
Primary and Secondary air intakes are in the open position.
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.
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.

18
Reduced Combustion
In order to shut down the stove, push the air control lever fully in and slide fully 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, pull the air
control lever fully out and slide fully to the right. For normal burning push lever all the way in and leave it
pushed to the right.
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 door handle.
Overloading the stove can cause excess smoke to be emitted. Wood burns most efficiently with the air control
primary air closed and secondary air open.
Wood burns most efficiently on a bed of ash and it is therefore only necessary to remove surplus ash from the
stove occasionally.
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.
When refuelling, it is important to have a damper in the open position if you have one.
Maximum Log Length: 350mm
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.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
WARNING!
NO unauthorised modification of this appliance should be carried out.
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.

19
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 microfibre
cloth or dry soft brush. 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
The 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/Tape
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. New self-adhesive glass tape will also be needed if glass is replaced.
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/spares.
Door Catch assembly
The door catch assembly (shown below) is
adjustable up, down, in and out by loosening
the two screws as shown by the arrows
above.

20
Changing The Door Handle
Rope
Check the 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.
Annual Service
Hunter Stoves Group recommend that this appliance is serviced annually, preferably prior to the start of the
heating season, thus avoiding any delay in receiving replacement components, should you need them.
