Commissioning & Handover
Appliance Check
Please check that all components are correctly assembled and working correctly. Ensure the Air Controls are working
correctly.
Hunter Stoves Group 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 are 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. Allow the appliance to heat up slowly ensuring that no smoke enters into the room.
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. 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.
