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 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 and allow the appliance to heat up slowly ensuring that no products of
combustion enter 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.
If the stove is not to stand in a recess, it may stand wholly
above a hearth made of non-combustible board / sheet
material or tiles, at least 10mm thick.
The hearth should extend at least 150 mm from the sides
and rear of the stove, and at least 300 mm from the front
of the stove.
All walls shown in the above diagrams are non-
combustible unless otherwise indicated. All non-
combustible walls closer than 300mm to the stove
should be at least 75mm thick.
