Using The Appliance For The First Time
We recommend that the appliance is left for 24 hours after installation to allow the fire cement, fixing glues, etc. to
cure.
We also recommend that you have two or three small fires before you operate your stove to its maximum heat
output. This is to allow the paint to cure in steadily and to give a long service life of the paint finish.
During this curing in process you may notice an unpleasant smell. It is non-toxic, but for your comfort we would
suggest that during this period you leave all doors and windows open.
Aerosols
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
Air Controls
This stove has been designed to burn cleaner and more efficiently than a conventional stove. If used correctly this
stove will burn far more efficiently than normal, with the obvious notable feature of CLEAN GLASS.
For this product to work properly it must be used correctly. It is essential that the stove has an adequate air supply
for combustion and ventilation. The primary and secondary air inlets must be kept clear from obstruction and
blockage.
Thermostat (Primary Air)
The thermostat is controlled by the knob on the side of the stove with settings from 0 - 10. The thermostat generally
operates between 50° to 90°. Experiment with the settings to find the desired temperature.
Secondary Air
Secondary air is controlled via the slider above the door(s), it is this “Airwash” that keeps a clean and uninterrupted
view of the fire.
Baffle Operation
Your Hunter Stove if fitted with a sliding baffle. The baffle needs to be slid into its open position when lighting and
re-fuelling your stove. This will prevent spillage while the stove door is open.
SHUT
OPEN
To slide the baffle forward you will need to use the
tool provided. Hook the tool onto the tab at the
front of the baffle and pull forward until it hits the
stop. This will create a 30mm gap at the back of the
firebox.
