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. 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 is 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:
Riddling Bars, Cam Bar, Catch Bar, Ashpan, Side Plates and Baffle. Clean them with a brush 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 soft brush or dry microfiber cloth to clean the outer surface and touch up the paint if
necessary.
Burn the appliance at a low rate, after maintenance, to allow any new seals, paint or glue 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.
Data Plate
This number is required when making warranty claims. It is found on the appliance data plate. The data plate is
found on the rear of the stove hanging from a small piece of chain.
