MY STOVE HAS A 6” FLUE COLLAR; CAN I INSTALL
IT ON A 5” FLUE?
No. The internal diameter of the flue must be no smaller
than the appliance flue collar for its entire length. If burning
wood on a stove with a 5” outlet a 6” liner must be fitted.
WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE A CHIMNEY?
There are many different flue systems available. Please
contact your local dealer/ flue installer, who will be able
to give you personal advice.
CAN I CONNECT TWO STOVES TO ONE FLUE
SYSTEM?
No. All Stoves must be individually flued.
DOES MY CHIMNEY NEED LINING?
This is to be decided by your qualified Engineer.
DO I NEED AN AIR BRICK?
Yes if the output is above 5kw.
WHAT TYPE OF FUEL CAN I USE?
The quality of fuel will dictate the performance of your
Stove.
WOODBURNING
Burn only dry, well seasoned wood. For best results, use dry
wood, with a moisture content of less than 20%, which has
been cut, split and stacked for at least 12 months. This is
advertised as ‘seasoned’ wood. Burning wet or unseasoned
wood will create tar deposits in the stove and chimney and
won’t produce a satisfactory heat output.
Wood burns best on a bed of ash and it is therefore
only necessary to remove surplus ash from the stove
occasionally.
PEAT
Only to be used in turf or brick form, but the moisture
content must be very low.
SMOKELESS FUEL BURNING
Anthracite is an approved natural smokeless fuel (not
processed) but can vary greatly in quality and performance.
It generally requires excellent air supply to maintain maximum
performance and with experience we would suggest that it
is used in conjunction with other approved manufactured
smokeless fuels as per the HETAS approved list.
Please vist www.hetas.co.uk for an up to
date list of approved Manufactured Smokeless Fuels suitable
for closed
appliances.
Only authorised smokeless fuels may be used in smoke
control areas.
Warning! - Petroleum coke fuels or household waste must not
be burnt on our appliances. Should any difficulties arise over
fuel quality or suitability, consult your approved coal merchant
or the Solid Fuel Advisory Service – Telephone 0800 600 000.
CAN I BURN WOOD ON MY MULTI-FUEL GRATE?
Yes. All Hunter multi-fuel appliances are capable of burning
wood.
CAN I SWEEP MY CHIMNEY THROUGH THE STOVE?
Yes – it is possible to sweep the chimney through the stove.
A clip-in boiler installation should have an additional means
of access to the flue system to allow cleaning – usually a soot
door in the first length of flue pipe.
CAN I RUN MY BOILER STOVE DISCONNECTED?
No. The stove should not be fired with the boiler disconnected
or empty, as this could cause serious damage to the
appliance
HOW MUCH SPACE WILL MY STOVE NEED?
All our units require a clearance of 150mm (6”) on either side,
and 50mm (2”) clear at the back. The hearth should extend
300mm (12”) in front of the appliance (From the door opening).
All of these clearance specifications are for non combustible
materials.
SPARK GUARDS

our stoves are tested as closed appliances and therefore must
