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. 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 and operated, this appliance will not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and
refueling may occur. Persistent fume emission must not be tolerated.
This appliance should not be operated with the door open.
If fume emission does persist then the following action should be taken immediately;
• Open Doors and windows to ventilate room.
• Let the fire out, or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.
• Check for flue/chimney blockage and clean if required.
• Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause has been identified and corrected.
• If necessary seek professional advice.
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 the stove to emit fumes. 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).
Carbon Monoxide Detector
Hunter Stoves recommend a Carbon Monoxide Detector that conforms to the latest issue of BS EN 50292 is
placed in the same room as the appliance. The installation of such an alarm is not considered as a substitute
for regular maintenance or servicing or the appliance and Flue system.

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 Ø150mm and not
more than Ø200mm. 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 of the chimney/flue system must be 4.5 metres and should terminate in accordance with Table 1.
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. Many Fire
Surrounds are only suitable for use with gas and electric fires and therefore may not suitable for this Solid Fuel
Appliance. Please check your Fire Surround. Fire Surround Back Panels suitable for solid fuel are usually in three
sections and slabbed.
If you have any doubts about the suitability of your chimney, consult your local dealer/stockist.
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.

Air Supply
The room or space containing this appliance needs a permanent, unobstructed air opening of at least 5940mm² (see
Technical Specification on Page 4 for confirmation). If a draught stabiliser is fitted, the air opening should be at least
10,680mm².
Due consideration should be given to air requirements for any other appliance in the same room or space.
Any air opening must be kept clear from blockage or obstruction.
This stove must be fitted on a hearth or base with adequate load-bearing capacity.
Appliance Opening
The opening into which this stove is fitted should be constructed wholly from non-combustible materials. The
dimensions of the opening should be at least those shown below.
This appliance will fit into a standard 16” fireplace opening if the clay fire back is removed.
Any non-combustible walls within 50mm of this appliance should be at least 200mm thick and should extend at
least 30mm above the top of the appliance and at least 1.2 metres above the hearth. Any walls more than 50mm
Page 11
11
from the appliance may be reduced to a thickness of 75mm. Ensure the inter-connecting flue pipe also has
adequate clearances to combustible materials
The walls surrounding the stove will become hot and should therefore be finished in a heat resistant plaster.
Do not hang pictures, plasma screen televisions or ornaments above the stove, as these could be damaged and
could potentially create a fire hazard.
Hearth Requirements
A constructional hearth with a minimum thickness of 125mm should be provided. This constructional hearth should
extend to at least 300mm in front of the stove and 150mm at the sides
The constructional hearth should be made of solid non-combustible material and can include any solid noncombustible floor. The boundary of the hearth must be clearly marked. This can be done by adding a super-imposed
hearth on top of the constructional hearth – e.g. a slate slab on top of a solid concrete floor.
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.
Minimum Draught – 1.2mm Water Gauge
Maximum Draught – 2.5mm Water Gauge
Clearances To Combustible Materials
Excluding some fire surround installations (see below) there should be no combustible material within 200mm of
either side of the stove or 275mm above.
No combustible furniture should be placed any closer than 700mm from the front of the stove.
Page 12
12
Fire Surrounds
Please check the suitability of any fireplace/surround for closed solid fuel appliances before installation. Hunter
Stoves cannot be held responsible for any fault arising through incorrect use or installation.
Fire surround back panels suitable for solid fuel are usually in three sections and slabbed. Many fire surrounds are
suitable only for use with gas and electric fires and therefore not suitable for solid fuel.
A combustible fire surround with a depth of up to 100mm requires a minimum clearance of 75mm from the side of
the stove. For combustible fire surrounds with a depth in excess of 100mm this clearance must be increased to
200mm.
Installing the Stove
1. Check positions of pipe connections.
2.
3.
4. Move the stove into position inside the fireplace opening, being careful not to damage the hearth or paintwork
on the stove and making sure that the rope seal is compressed forming a tight seal between the stove and
fireplace.
5. Drill hole into hearth through base using a 10mm drill bit.
6. Position anchor bolt provided through base plate and fix stove in place.
7. Connect the boiler – see ‘Installation of boiler models’.
8. Fill the boiler and check for leaks.
Rope Seal
Make suitable access holes so you can
access the tappings and infill with
vermiculite concrete.
Apply fire cement around the rope seal.
This will help seal the stove when in
position.
Page 13
13
9. Connect the flue – see ‘Flue connection’.
10. Infill around the stove with vermiculite concrete.
11. Fill in the access for the boiler pipe connections.
12. Fill in the top access.
Flue Connection
N.B. An adjustable flue bend may be required for some installations.
If connecting to a stainless liner, a propriety
single wall flue adaptor will be required. It is
recommended that a short length of flue pipe is
connected before the liner.
If connecting to an existing masonry chimney it is
recommended that a flue forming pipe (short length of
flue pipe) is used and the void between the flue forming
pipe and the chimney is filled with vermiculite concrete.
A suitable access hole will need to be made in the chimney
breast to allow the back filling to be carried out and then
filled and sealed once the installation is complete.
Alternatively, a connection can be made using a
register plate although it will be necessary to allow
access for fitting the flue pipe to the register plate,
infilling with vermiculite concrete and sealing all
joints.

Installation Of Heating And Hot Water System
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 Ltd 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 neutralizer. When fitting this type of system, the neutralizer 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 unvalued. 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 pipe
work, 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 the 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).
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.

Commissioning and Handover
Appliance Check
Please check that all components are correctly assembled and working correctly.
Ensure the Air Controls are working correctly.
Hunter Stoves 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.
When the appliance has reached working temperature open the door, move the Baffle to the re-fuelling position
(see instructions on page 17/18), and 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 also recommend that a CO alarm is fitted into the room where the appliance is located.
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.
Page 17
17
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.
We also 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 Controls
This stove has been designed to burn cleaner and more efficiently than a conventional stove. If used correctly this
stove will burn far more efficiently than normal, with the obvious notable feature of CLEAN GLASS.
For this product to work properly it must be used correctly. It is essential that the stove has an adequate air supply
for combustion and ventilation. The primary and secondary air inlets must be kept clear from obstruction and
blockage.
Thermostat (Primary Air)
The thermostat is controlled by the knob on the side of the stove with settings from 0 - 10. The thermostat generally
operates between 50° to 90°. Experiment with the settings to find the desired temperature.
Secondary Air
Secondary air is controlled via the slider above the door(s), it is this “Airwash” that keeps a clean and uninterrupted
view of the fire.
Baffle Operation
Your Hunter Stove if fitted with a sliding baffle. The baffle needs to be slid into its open position when lighting and
re-fuelling your stove. This will prevent spillage while the stove door is open.
SHUT
OPEN
To slide the baffle forward you will need to use the
tool provided. Hook the tool onto the tab at the
front of the baffle and pull forward until it hits the
stop. This will create a 30mm gap at the back of the
firebox.
Page 18
18
Lighting
Slide the baffle into its open position (see Baffle Operation below) and open secondary air control fully and light one
or two firelighters placed centrally on the grate, allowing the flames to become established before placing several
pieces of small dry kindling in a criss-cross fashion above the firelighters, taking care not to smother the fire. Close
the stove door. Once the kindling is well alight open the door and build the fire by gradually adding fuel, closing the
door afterwards.
Once the fire is established gradually close the secondary air control until around 20% open (slide control to your
left) and add more fuel as necessary.
When the stove is up to operating temperature the operating tool or gloves should be used to operate the air
controls.
The baffle will automatically slide back into its closed position when the door is closed. This is achieved by the door
pushing onto the baffle arm.
Locomotive Grate
Your Hunter Stove is fitted with a locomotive type grate. So that de-ashing can be carried out cleanly and easily, it is
riddled from the outside of the stove with the doors closed.
Grate Operation & Burning Solid Mineral Fuels
It is important that the riddling tool is used to remove the ash to ensure airflow through the fire bed and allow the
fire to burn over the entire area of the grate. The ashpan should be emptied at least daily and ash should never be
allowed to build up over a period of time as this will result in damage to the fire bars. The flat end of the riddling tool
can be used to carry the ashpan.

Loading The Appliance (Sold Mineral Fuel)
Solid mineral fuel should not be stacked higher than the top of the fuel retainer as this may result in damage to the
stove. With a full load of fuel, the stove will need to be refuelled approximately once every 4 hours.
Air Controls (Sold Mineral Fuel)
Solid mineral fuel burns most efficiently with the secondary air control around the 20% open position. Always de-ash
before refuelling and do not let the ash level reach the underside of the grate bars.
Solid mineral fuel produces ash, which if allowed to build-up will stifle the airflow through the Primary air inlets and
grate. This will eventually cause the fire to die.
With some solid mineral fuels a residue of burnt fuel or clinker will accumulate on the grate, allow the fire to go out
periodically to remove this.
IMPORTANT!
We cannot stress firmly enough how important it is to empty the ashpan regularly. Air passing through the fire bed
cools the grate bars. Distortion or burning out the grate bars is nearly always caused by ash being allowed to build up
to the underside of the grate.
Extended Burning (Sold Mineral Fuel)
The stove can be banked up for extended burning. When burning solid fuel, empty the ashpan. Open air controls
and let the fire burn brightly for a short period. Refuel and close both air controls, the exact setting required will
depend on the fuel used and the chimney draw so some practice may be necessary. To revive the fire, open the air
controls until the fire is burning brightly de-ash if necessary and refuel. Set air controls as required.
Never leave the stove unattended until you are certain that the flames are fully established.
Should the fire fail to light correctly open the door and use a poker to spread the fuel across the bottom of the
firebox. Close the door and allow the fuel and stove to cool before attempting to relight the fire.
Reduced Combustion
In order to shut down the stove, reduce the thermostat control to ‘0’ and close the secondary air by sliding control
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 it is recommended that the thermostat control is opened first, and then the secondary air control.
Warning! - The stove will remain hot for a considerable time after the fire has been extinguished.
Refuelling
When the fuel has burnt down to the fire bed, add new fuel. The air controls should not need adjusting while
refuelling.
When refuelling it is important to slide the baffle into its open position to reduce any spillage. (see Baffle
Operation) The baffle will be hot when refuelling so due care should be taken.

Hunter Stoves Group recommend that only wood logs with a moisture content of less than 20% and anthracite or a
manufactured briquette smokeless fuel which is suitable for closed door appliances are used 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. Only authorised fuels may be used in UK smoke control areas.
A list of authorised fuels can be found at http://uksmokecontrolareas.co.uk/fuels.php
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.
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
The stove is finished with a heat resistant paint and this can be cleaned with a dry soft brush or dry microfibre cloth.
Do not clean whilst the stove is hot; wait until it has cooled down. At no point should any water based, or other
cleaning products be used on the stove. The finish can be renovated with a propriety high temperature stove paint.
Glass Panel(s)
Clean the glass panel when cool with a propriety glass cleaner. 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.
Gaskets
All gasket used on this appliance are produced from a heat resistant material called Manniglas. Over time you may
find that the gasket changes colour. This is due to a reduction in the pigment used in the manufacture of the
product, and is 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
Should the door catch require adjustment, please use the follow procedure: Open the Door. Slacken the M6 grub
screw, on the underside of the Handle Boss. Turn the inside catch shaft one turn clockwise, this will achieve a tighter
lock when the door is closed. Re-tighten the M6 grub screw. Close and test the operation of the Handle mechanism.
Rope
Check the rope around the door. If rope is becoming detached, use Hunter Stoves rope glue to reattach it. If the
rope is in a poor condition, a replacement rope kit may be ordered from the Hunter Stoves 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. 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.
If you feel unable to undertake this task, Hunter Stoves recommend that you contact the installation engineer for
advice.
Remove all the internal components:
Riddling Bars, Cam Bar, Catch Bar, Ashpan, Side Plates and Baffle. Clean them with a brush and inspect them for
damage.
Sweep the chimney/flue system if necessary.
Clean down the internal surfaces of the appliance using a scraper or wire brush.
Inspect these surfaces for damage/corrosion.
If corrosion or damage is found, we advise that you consult with your installer about rectification/repair.
Brush out or vacuum the inside of the appliance and re-fit the internal components.
Inspect the Glass and Gasket. Clean the Glass with a non-abrasive cleaner if required. If the Gasket is torn or
damaged, we recommend that is replaced to ensure that no products of combustion enters the room when the
appliance is used.
Painted Finish – Use a dry soft brush or dry microfiber cloth to clean the outer surface and touch up the paint if
necessary.
Burn the appliance at a low rate, after maintenance, to allow any new seals, paint or glue cure properly.
The appliance may emit unpleasant odours during this process, please ensure the room is well ventilated.
The paint can be ordered through our website www.hunterstoves.co.uk.
Data Plate
This number is required when making warranty claims. It is found on the appliance data plate. The data plate is
found on the rear of the stove hanging from a small piece of chain.

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.
