General Guidance
It is important that your stove is correctly
installed as Hunter Stoves cannot accept
responsibility for any fault arising through
incorrect use or installation.
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.
The installation must comply with current
Building Regulations, national and European
standards, Local Authority byelaws and other
specifications or regulations as they affect the
installation of the stove.
The Building Regulations requirements may also
be met by adopting the relevant
recommendations in the current issues of
British Standards BS 8303 and BS EN 15287-1.
Further guidance on the installation of the
carbon monoxide alarm is available in BS EN
50292:2002 and from the alarm manufacturer’s
instructions.
Provision of an alarm must not be considered a
substitute for either installing the appliance
correctly or ensuring regular servicing and
maintenance of the appliance and chimney
system.
HEALTH AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Special care must be taken when installing the
stove such that the requirements of the Health
and Safety at Work Act are met.
HANDLING
Adequate facilities must be available for
loading, unloading and site handling.
COMPETENT PERSONS SCHEME
Hunter Stoves recommend that this stove is
installed by a member of an accredited
competent persons scheme e.g. HETAS.
If the installer is not a member of a competent
persons scheme, it is a legal requirement to
notify your local building control body in
advance of any work starting.
CO ALARMS
Building regulations require that whenever a
new or replacement fixed solid fuel or
wood/biomass appliance is installed in a
dwelling, a carbon monoxide alarm must be
fitted in the same room as the appliance.
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.
ASBESTOS
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.

FUME EMISSION
WARNING NOTE
SAFETY
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.
AEROSOLS
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the
stove when it is alight.
FIREGUARDS
Always use a fireguard in the presence of
children, the 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.
Properly installed, operated and maintained,
this appliance will not emit fumes into the
dwelling. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and
refuelling may occur. However, persistent fume
emission is potentially dangerous and must not
be tolerated.
If fume emission does persist, then the
following immediate action should be taken: -
Open doors and windows to ventilate the
room and then leave the premises.
Let the fire go out.
Check for flue or chimney blockage and
clean if required.
Do not attempt to re-light the fire until the
cause of the fume emission has been
identified and corrected. If necessary, seek
expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is
flueway or chimney blockage. For your own
safety these must be kept clean at all times.
ADVERSE WEATHER
In a small number of installations, occasional
local weather conditions (e.g. wind from a
particular direction) may cause downdraught in
the flue and cause the stove to emit fumes.
JINHCR03 RevB 22/06/2012
In these circumstances, the stove should not be
used. A professional flue installer will be able to
advise on solutions to this problem (e.g. antidowndraught cowl).
Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as
this appliance.
CO ALARM
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in
the same room as the appliance. If the alarm
sounds unexpectedly, follow the instructions
given under “Warning Note” in the Fume
Emission section.
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE
Raise the alarm
Call the Fire Brigade
Close appliance air controls
Move furniture, ornaments etc away
Place a fireguard in front of stove
Check the chimney breast for signs of
excessive heat.
Ensure the Fire Brigade can gain access to your
roof space in order to check for fire spread.
Assembly

plate of the stove and lower the flue collar or
blanking plate (as required) on to the stove top,
