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 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. 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. Please advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance with the fuels likely to be used
If the stove is not to stand in a recess, it may stand
wholly above a hearth made of non-combustible
board / sheet material or tiles, at least 12mm thick.
The hearth should extend at least 150 mm from the
sides and rear of the stove, and at least 300 mm
from the front of the stove.
All walls shown in the above diagrams are non-
combustible unless otherwise indicated. All non-
combustible walls closer than 300mm
to the stove should be at least 75mm thick.
