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 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 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 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.

Removal Of Rear Heat Shield
Rear Flue Pipe Installation
Fitting Of Heat Shield
Non Combustible –Fireplace Recess
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).
To remove the heat shield,
remove the button-head
screw and pull the shield
towards you until the
right-hand edge clears the
stove body and pops out.
Lift the left-hand edge
clear of the stove body and
remove.
To fit the heat shield for the
Slimline’s and 8, position the left-
hand edge and then flex the heat
shield until the right-hand edge
clears the stove body and pops into
place. Insert and lightly tighten the
supplied button-head screw to
prevent any rattle. Do not over
tighten the screw as this will
damage the heat shield. All others
are placed on the rear and bolted
on in three places.
For rear flue installations, the
knockout in the rear heat shield
must be removed. Remove
heat shield as above. Carefully
cut through the tabs holding
the knockout section in the
heat shield and remove.

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 are 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. Allow the appliance to heat up slowly ensuring that no smoke enters 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.

20
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 only use the recommended fuels for their specific 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 8423:2010+A1:2016 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.

The Clean Air Act 1993 And Smoke Control Areas
Under the Clean Air Act 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).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary of State in accordance with changes made to sections 20 and 21
of the Clean Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015. In Scotland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by Scottish
Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. Similarly, In Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by

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 Aspect wood burning stoves have been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas. Suitable Authorised fuels can also be
used in the appliances in Smoke Control Areas (see Authorised fuel list https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels.php ) (Applies only if a
multifuel conversion kit is installed).
Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried
out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few
embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can cause excess smoke.
