GENERAL MAINTENANCE
NO
unauthorised modification of this appliance should be carried out.
This appliance requires regular maintenance by a competent engineer.
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 (if no damper is fitted
and the top flue connection is used).
Stove Body
The stove is finished with a heat resistant paint and this can be cleaned with a soft brush. Do not clean
whilst the stove is hot; wait until it has cooled down. The finish can be renovated with Hunter stove paint.
Glass Panels
Clean the glass panels when cool with a Hunter glass cleaner. 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.
Firebricks
In normal use, these can last for many years. It is possible however, to crack them if logs are continually
jammed against them or if they are frequently struck with a poker.
Check periodically for seriously cracked bricks, which can be replaced with new; available from your
dealer.
Door Catch
Should the door catch require adjustment, to maintain the door seal, it is adjustable. By slackening the
locking nut and turning the door handle one turn clockwise, you will achieve a tighter lock when the door
is closed.
Rope
Check the rope around the door and glass. If rope is becoming detached, use Hunter Stoves rope glue to
reattach it. If the rope is in a poor condition, a replacement rope kit may be ordered from the Hunter
Stoves spares range.
