Technical Specification
This appliance is not for use in shared flue
This appliance is suitable for intermittent burning
This stove has been designed and assembled so that it may be used to burn wood logs in a Smoke
Control Area.
Find out if you are in a Smoke Control Area by contacting your Local Authority.
The Inset Chevin 8 has been fitted with a permanent bypass that prevents closure of the secondary
air slider. Removal of this will lead to the appliance potentially causing smoke emissions. Without the
permanent bypass in place the appliance is not an exempt appliance and so may leave the
householder liable for a fine up to £1000.

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.
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
person’s 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.
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.
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.
METAL PARTS
When installing or servicing this stove, care should be
taken to avoid the possibility of personal injury.
MODIFICATION
No unauthorized modification of this appliance
should be carried out.
Safety
WARNING – This appliance will be hot when in
operation and due care should be taken. The supplied
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. 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.
JINCHI08 RevC 21/05/14
FUME EMISSION
WARNING NOTE
Properly installed, operated and maintained, this
appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling. The
appliance door(s) must be kept closed at all times,
except for when de-ashing and refueling, during
which occasional fumes 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: -
1. Open doors and windows to ventilate the room
and then leave the premises.
2. Let the fire go out.
3. Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if
required.
4. 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. 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.
anti-downdraught cowl).
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” above.
DO NOT FIT AN EXTRACTOR FAN IN THE SAME
ROOM AS THIS APPLIANCE.
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.
If the wall is becoming excessively hot, move
furniture away. Ensure the Fire Brigade can gain
access to your roof space in order to check for fire
spread.
Installation
APPLIANCE DIMENSIONS
FLUE OUTLET POSITION
The flue outlet angle is 30°. The effective centre
dimension is shown below.
JINCHI08 RevC 21/05/14
AIR SUPPLY
The room or space containing this appliance
should have purpose provided ventilation
(where necessary) in accordance with Building
Regulations.
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.
APPLIANCE OPENING
FLUE CONNECTION - All inset installations must have a
‘Throat Forming Lintel’, if a ‘Builders Opening Lintel’
is present then this will have to be modified for
these units to be fitted.
This stove must be fitted on a hearth or base with
adequate load-bearing capacity.
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 in the diagram.
This appliance will fit into a standard 16” fireplace
opening if the clay fireback is removed.
Any non-combustible walls within 50mm of this
appliance should be at least 200mm thick and
should extend at least 300mm above the top of the
appliance and at least 1.2 metres above the hearth.
Any walls more than 50mm from the appliance may
be reduced to a thickness of 75mm. Ensure the interconnecting 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.
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.
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
non-combustible 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 REQUIREMENTS
The flue serving this appliance must be dry,
free from cracks and obstructions and be in
accordance with the designations shown in
Table 1.
Table 1 – Minimum Flue Designations
JINCHI08 RevC 21/05/14
The diameter of the flue should not be less
than 150mm and not more than 200mm.
If these requirements are not met the chimney
should be lined by a suitable method.
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 BS EN 1856 can be used. These chimneys
must be fitted in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and Building
Regulations.
Table 1 – Minimum Flue Designations
The chimney/flue should have a vertical height
of at least 4.5 metres and should terminate in
accordance with Table 2.
If the chimney is believed to have previously
served an open fire installation, it is possible
that the higher flue gas temperature from the
stove may loosen deposits that were previously
firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of
flue blockage. It is therefore recommended
that the chimney is swept a second time within
a month of regular use after installation.
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.
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.
