GLASS PANEL
Clean the glass panel when cool with a propriety 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. Should you need to
replace a glass panel please ensure you purchase a
new Gasket at the same time. Please check
periodically that the glass clips and screws have not
become loose. They should only be finger tight to
allow for the expansion and contraction of the glass.
GASKETS
All gasket used on this appliance are produced from a
heat resistant material called Manniglas.
The glass gasket will have to be replaced when a new
piece of glass is fitted as the gaskets become brittle
after firing the stove.
Over time you may also find that the gasket changes
colour. This is due to a reduction in the pigment used
in the manufacture of the product and no cause for
concern.
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 or our spares website
www.hunterstoves.co.uk.
DOOR CATCH
The door catch may require adjustment to maintain
the door seal. By slackening the internal locking nut
and turning the catch bolt one turn towards the door
you will achieve a tighter lock when the door is closed.
ROPE
Check the rope around the door. If rope is becoming
detached, use rope glue to reattach it. If the rope is in
a poor condition, a replacement rope kit may be
ordered from the Hunter Stoves Group spares range.
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 (see assembly instructions). 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 soft 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 either a dry microfibre cloth or a
dry soft brush 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.
