Rope
Check the rope around the door. If rope is becoming detached, use rope glue to reattach it. If the rope is in a poor
condition, a replacement rope kit may be ordered from the Hunter Stoves Group spares range.
Chimney and Flue 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 (see assembly instructions). 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.
Annual Service
Hunter Stoves Group recommend that this appliance be serviced 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.
Remove all the internal components:
Log retainer, bricks, ignition air bar & baffle. Clean them with a soft brush carefully and inspect them for damage.
Sweep the chimney/flue system if necessary.
Clean down the internal surfaces of the appliance using a scraper or wire brush.
Inspect these surfaces for damage/corrosion.
If corrosion or damage is found, we advise that you consult with your installer about rectification/repair.
Brush out or vacuum the inside of the appliance and re-fit the internal components.
Inspect the Glass and Gasket. Clean the Glass with a non-abrasive cleaner if required. If the Gasket is torn or
damaged, we recommend that is replaced to ensure that no products of combustion enters the room when the
appliance is used.
Painted Finish – Use a dry microfibre cloth or dry soft brush to clean the outer surface only and touch up the paint if
necessary. Burn the appliance at a low rate, after maintenance, to allow any new seals, paint or glue to cure
properly. The appliance may emit unpleasant odours during this process, please ensure the room is well ventilated.
The paint can be ordered through our website www.hunterstoves.co.uk.
