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), 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.
