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. To stop the handle from seizing
leave the door ajar. 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 soft brush. 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. They should only be finger
tight to allow for the expansion and contraction of
the glass.
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.
