Maintenance And 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. 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
Painted Finish - The stove is finished with a heat resistant paint and this can be cleaned with a dry microfibre cloth
or dry soft brush. Do not clean whilst the stove is hot. At no point should any water based, or other cleaning
products be used on the stove. The finish can be renovated with Hunter Stoves paint .
Glass Panel
Printed glass should not be cleaned using cleaners high in alkaline or acidic content. Clean the glass panel when cool
with a propriety glass cleaner by applying the cleaner to a cloth. Do not apply directly to the glass as this could
cause run of which could soak into the rope seals around the edge of the glass.
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.
