Page 8: Installation Requirements
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS Legal requirements These instructions cover the requirements to ensure satisfactory installation of the appliance, although details may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions. In all cases the installation must comply with current building regulations, local authority bye-laws, European and national standards and other specifications or regulations. Competent persons scheme Hunter Stoves Group recommend that this stove be 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, in the UK, to notify your Local building Control Officer in advance of any installation work starting. -
Page 9: Combustion Air Supply
Combustion air supply The room or space with which the appliance is going to be installed into does not require a permanently open vent. 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. Attention is needed in new built properties where the design air permeability is less than 5m3/(h.m2) at 50 Pa. Approved Document J and Appendix F gives further information. A window opening is not appropriate. Fitting a stove in a room which also contains an extractor fan and/or cooker hood should be avoided where possible. If this is unavoidable, the suitability of the space for fitting this appliance must be decided at the discretion of a qualified installer, and a flue draught interference test must be performed. -

Page 17: Lighting The Appliance
Lighting the Appliance IMPORTANT NOTES Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning checks described above have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept clean, is sound and free from any obstructions. As part of the stoves’ commissioning and handover, the installer should have shown you how to operate the stove correctly. Hunter Stoves recommends the top down lighting method for a cleaner and more convenient start. Ensure the air control is in the fully open position. In the base of the stove, place 2 larger split and dry logs. Ensure a gap is left between the logs as this allows air movement to help the fire breathe when lit. Place 2 smaller logs on top at 90° to the bottom logs. Layer approximately six to eight pieces of kindling (finely chopped wood) on top of the logs in a crisscross pattern. Place 1 or 2 eco fire lighters on top of the kindling in the centre. Finally, place 2 to 4 thin pieces of kindling on top of the eco fire lighters. Close the door as soon as flames appear. A small amount of soot may appear on the glass during the lighting. This is perfectly normal and will go after a period of time. Extra logs should not be added until the logs have burnt down into a bed of glowing embers. Wood Weights For a 5kW stove, we recommend approximately 1.1-1.4kg of wood. Please note the the exact amount of wood to use is dependent on the species of wood, the moisture content, and the desired burn duration. Kindling: Length - 15cm to 20cm Diameter - 1cm to 3cm Approximately 8-12 finely chopped pieces Kindling is required to bridge the gap between firelighters and logs, creating the initial heat required for clean combustion. -
Page 18: Running The Appliance
5.10 Running the Appliance 1. Only refuel when fire has died down to embers. Ensure that the wood you are using has a moisture content of less than 20% (we recommend 12-15% to ensure an efficient burn). 2. When refuelling open all the air controls fully and the damper (if fitted). 3. Open the door slowly by releasing the handle and allowing to stay like this for 5 to 10 seconds. Opening the door too fast will cause smoke to be drawn into the room as the firebox has not had time for the pressure to equalise. The smoke will then take the easiest route which is out through the opening. 4. Fully open the door slowly and break apart the remaining char, distributing it across the base of the firebox. 5. Carefully place the logs in. It is recommended you use 2 pieces of wood, placed parallel with each other and the stove glass. Please do not load the wood any higher than the Rear Turbo Bar (~160mm). 6. Close the door. (All our stoves are tested as closed door appliances and should be used as such.) 7. Keep the air control in the fully open position until the logs catch fire. 8. After a few minutes once the flames are fully established, slowly close the air control for a more efficient burn. Guide to Wood Hardwood is a denser fuel than softwood and provides a higher heat content. Softwood produces 50% less heat content than hardwood. Softwoods are more prone to spitting and popping as they have pockets of moisture and sap contained within them (this can be reduced by seasoning and drying correctly). Woods suitable for closed appliances - Ash, Beech, Birch, Blackthorn, Elm, Eucalyptus, Hawthorn, Hazel, Hornbeam, Maple, Oak, Rowan, Sycamore, Wild Cherry, Willow, Alder, Apple, Pear and Holly. (Oak, beech and birch burn at the highest rate when seasoned correctly). These woods are also suitable but can crackle and spit - Cedar, Douglas Fir, Horse Chestnut, Larch, Plane, Sweet Chestnut and Willow. IMPORTANT! Ensure the wood has a moisture content of less than 20% (we advise 12-15% for a more efficient burn) to allow the fuel to catch quickly. If the fuel has a higher moisture content then you are burning the water off and this will reduce the heat output and take longer to burn correctly. This can also cause a build up of soot and tar which could lead to a chimney fire. It will also cause the glass of the stove to blacken. -

Page 20: Servicing Checklist
Servicing checklist Hunter Stoves Group recommend that this appliance has a major service 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. Before commencing any work ensure the appliance and area is safe and accessible to conduct the service. • Ensure the appliance is cool. • Remove any ash left in the appliance. Ensure the ash has had time to cool to room temperature. • Remove all internal components and check for damage. • Check the flue and if necessary sweep. • Vacuum the inside of the stove and clean any soot deposits that have formed on the steel surfacesusing a dry cloth. • Check the appliance for any damage. • Check the condition of the paint work. If required touch up paint is available. • Fit new door rope, if required. • Clean the glass. • Replace internal components. • Check the appliance is operating correctly and safely. Following commissioning instructions. Servicing notes Catalyst servicing The catalyst is self-cleaning in normal operational mode. However in some situations such as burning poorly seasoned or smoky wood, or if there is a poor chimney draught or the fire is burnt in a slow mode for long periods, then soot may accumulate on the surfaces of the catalyst. The fire should be burnt at a high heat on a regular basis to help burn off any soot that may start to accumulate To clean the catalyst, first remove it from the stove then simply dust off any soot with a dry paint brush, gently blow through it with an air line or pump, being careful not to enhale any dust, or gently vacuum over the faces, being careful not to brush or touch the face with hard objects which could damage the delicate foil substrate. A correctly functioning catalyst will show a light covering in dry grey ash, which is easily removed as above. If it is heavily coated in black soot, with evidence of cells blocking, then the catalyst should be brushed off, and then washed in cold water, do not use any detergents which will damage the coating. It is recommended to inspect and clean the catalyst once per month during the heating season, or whenever there is abnormal blackening of the stove door glass, or a poor draw from the fire. Do not burn any other products than wood, ie coal, as the sulphur will damage the coating and may rener it ineffective. Do not use any other chemical containing products, such as flue cleaning logs as these too will damage the coating. - Page 21 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 e.g. Have the chimney swept before the start of the heating season. Servicing notes Stove Body You can wipe the stove with a cloth. Repair any light damage with Hunter stove paint available through our spares website www.hunterstoves.co.uk/spares. 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 bricks, available from your dealer or our spares website www.hunterstoves.co.uk/spares. Rope Check the rope around the door. If rope is becoming detached, use rope glue to reattach. If the rope is in poor condition, a replacement rope kit may be ordered from the Hunter Stoves Group spares range. It is recommended to test the seal between rope and stove body both before and after the rope glue has set. Chimney and Flue Ways It is important that the chimney, flue ways and any connecting flue pipe are swept regularly. This should only be carried out by an experienced chimney sweep with a trusted trade rating. This means at least once a year for smokeless fuels and at least twice a year for wood and other fuels. The Brick & Steel Baffles, together with the Catalyst will need to be removed from the stove in order to sweep the chimney. 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. WARNING NOTE Properly installed and operated, this appliiance will not emit fumes. Occasional fumes from de- ashing and refuelling may occur. Persistent fume emission must not be tolerated. This appliance should not be operated with the door open. If fume emission persists, then the following immediate actions should be taken: •...

General notes 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. Extractor Fan Fitting a stove in a room which also contains an extractor fan and/or cooker hood should be avoided where possible. If this is unavoidable, the suitability of the space for fitting this appliance must be decided at the discretion of a qualified installer, and a flue draught interference test must be performed. Ventilation It is essential that the stove has an adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation. Requirements can be found by checking Building Regulations Approved Document J. Do not obstruct the ventilation required for the safe use of 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.
