PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

It is important that your stove is correctly installed and operated, as
Hunter Stoves Limited cannot accept responsibility for any fault
arising from incorrect installation of this product.

IMPORTANT POINTS FOR THE USER

1. Read all instructions carefully before attempting to operate this appliance.

2. If you have any doubts about the suitability of your chimney for the appliance
please consult your local Hunter Stoves stockist/dealer. The chimney must be
given a precautionary sweep before connection to the appliance.

3. It is required by law that any appliance using gas is installed by a CORGI
registered fitter in conjunction with these instructions and in accordance with the
rules in force.

4. Fires can be dangerous, always use a fireguard in the presence of children, the
elderly or the infirmed.

5. All outer surfaces of the appliance are considered to be working surfaces except
for the gas control knob and valve cover flap.

6. It should be noted that heat given off from this appliance might affect articles
placed close to it. Curtains should not be positioned above the appliance or
within 300mm of the sides. Caution should also be taken sighting the appliance
near to ‘embossed’ type wallpapers.

7. Although the appliance is referred to as a stove it is clearly not designed as a
‘cooker’ or a ‘dryer’. It only has designated CE approval for use as a room heater
with a decorative fuel effect.

8. Never attempt to light the appliance if the glass panel is damaged.

9. Never use this appliance with the door open or removed.

NOTE:
During the first few uses, the appliance may emit an unpleasant odour. This is
the paint curing. It is non-toxic, but for your comfort you may wish to ventilate
the room by opening the doors and windows.

The CORGI REGISTERED ENGINEER commissioned to install this
appliance is wholly responsible for deciding the suitability of any flue
arrangement to operate in conjunction with this gas appliance.

Points regarding the ‘Fire-bed’

• The stove is supplied with a ceramic matrix and coals/logs, which are to be
arranged by the fitter in strict accordance with the installation instructions. The
purchaser must not alter the layout of the coals/logs or add any extra coals/logs.

• The coals/logs used in this stove to produce a realistic coal/log effect are made
from ceramic fibre based material. The ‘coals/logs’ may change colour after use,
which is quite normal.

• Replacement ceramic matrices and coals/logs must be sourced from your
approved Hunter Stoves stockist.

MPORTANT NOTE:

It will take approximately 15-20 minutes for the firebed to take on its proper appearance
of glowing coals and yellow flames.

Operating the Appliance

It is strongly recommended that these instructions are read and thoroughly
understood in advance of operating this appliance.

Gas Control Cover Plate

To gain access to the gas control valve, the
valve cover plate must first be opened. Hold
the left-hand side of the cover and gently pull
outwards. The valve cover is secured in place
with a magnet.

Burner Controls

The gas control valve is situated on the left hand side of
the appliance, looking from the front, next to the front
left hand leg.

Pilot Assembly

The pilot assembly is positioned at the front
of the burner tray on the right hand side.

Lighting the Pilot Flame

With the gas control knob in the fully ‘off’ position, press the control knob in fully and
turn anti-clockwise towards the ‘piezo ignition’ position on the control tap backplate. An
audible click of the piezo igniter should be heard and a spark should be seen arcing
between the pilot head and the pilot electrode. Repeat the procedure until a small flame
can be seen at the pilot head. Once the pilot flame is established, keep the control knob
depressed for 10-20 seconds, then release the pressure on the control knob. The pilot
flame should remain lit with the control knob now resting in the ‘pilot’ position.

Lighting the Main Burner

Once the pilot flame has been established, slightly depress the control knob and turn
anti-clockwise to the desired level. The main burner should then light. The control valve
is infinitely variable, hence any desired setting between high and low output can be
chosen depending on the heat output required.

NOTE!

Condensation may form on the glass and other surfaces when the appliance is first lit.
This is perfectly normal and will evaporate in a short period of time. To reduce the
amount of condensation on start-up, we would recommend that the pilot flame be left
alight in the ‘pilot’ position.

Warning!

Should the burner extinguish for any reason, allow at least 3 minutes to elapse before
attempting to re-ignite.

Returning the Stove back to the Permanent Pilot Position

With the control tap at any position between low and high output, press the control
knob in slightly and turn the control tap clockwise to the ‘pilot’ position and release.
Only the pilot flame should now be lit.

Turning the Stove Off

With the control tap at any output position or at the permanent pilot position, press in
the control tap fully and turn the knob to the off position and release.

IMPORTANT NOTE

This appliance is fitted with an ‘oxygen depletion system’ (ODS) which constantly
measures the level of combustion products in the room. If the concentration of
combustion products gets too high the appliance will automatically shut-off.

If the appliance repeatedly cuts out after being re-stared, (as detailed in the ‘Lighting the
Appliance’ section) a CORGI registered engineer should be contacted to examine the

appliance and installation

Care, Maintenance and Servicing

Check your chimney and flue arrangement at least annually and have the chimney system
swept at least once a year.

The outside of the appliance is finished with a heat resistant paint and can be cleaned
with a soft brush. Do not attempt to clean the appliance if it is hot. If required the
finish can be renovated using either Hunter Stoves stove polish or Hunter Stoves stove
paint.

A CORGI registered fitter must carry out servicing at least annually and where
necessary replace unserviceable components with only genuine Hunter Stoves parts.
