P
ERIODS 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
i.e. get the chimney
swept before the start of the heating season.
B
AFFLE
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.
S
TOVE
B
ODY
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. The finish can be renovated with a
propriety high temperature stove paint.

LASS
P
ANEL
(
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.
G
ASKETS
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
F
IREBRICKS
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.
D
OOR
C
ATCH
Should the door catch require adjustment, please
use the follow procedure: Open the Door. Slacken
the M6 grub screw, on the underside of the
Handle Boss. Turn the inside catch shaft one turn
clockwise, this will achieve a tighter lock when the
door is closed. Re-tighten the M6 grub screw.
Close and test the operation of the Handle
mechanism.
R
OPE
Check the 12mm rope around the door. If rope is
becoming detached, use Hunter Stoves rope glue
to reattach it. If the rope is in a poor condition, a
replacement rope kit may be ordered from the
Hunter Stoves spares range.
CHIMNEY
&
F
LUE WAYS
It is important that the chimney, flue ways and
any connecting flue pipe are swept regularly. This
means at least once a year for smokeless fuels and
at least twice a year for wood and other fuels.
The baffle will need to be removed from its
supports in order to sweep the chimney. Only
wire-centred sweeps’ brushes fitted with a guide
wheel should be used. 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.
