Note: combustible material refers to any material that
will degrade when subjected to heat e.g. plaster.
No combustible material must be stored underneath
the stove.
FIREPLACE RECESS
The stove can be recessed in a suitable sized fireplace
but a permanent free air gap of at least 150mm on
top and 50mm at the sides (although we recommend
150mm for the sides and 50mm at the back of the
stove to obtain maximum heat output and for access
to the rear of the stove.)
The hearth should extend at least 300 mm from the
front of the stove. The stove should stand wholly
above a solid, non-combustible hearth, at least 125
mm thick (this may include the thickness of a solid
floor and a non-combustible decorative hearth).

INGLENOOK ONLY
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.
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.
