

consult your local Hunter Stoves Gas stockist/dealer. The chimney must be given a
precautionary sweep before connection to the appliance.



It is required by law that any appliance using gas is installed by a GAS SAFE registered
fitter in conjunction with these instructions and in accordance with current regulations.



Fires can be dangerous, always use a fireguard in the presence of children, the elderly
or the infirmed.

The GAS SAFE REGISTERED ENGINEER commissioned to install this appliance is wholly
responsible for deciding the suitability of any flue arrangement to operate in
conjunction with this gas appliance.

NOTE: During the first few uses the appliance may emit an unpleasant odour. This is the
paint curing. It is non-toxic, but for your comfort you may wish to ventilate the room by
opening the doors and windows.

GAS LEAK

If you think you have a gas leak or you can smell gas call the 24-hour Gas Emergency

- Turn of the gas supply at the Meter / emergency control valve.

- Ventilate the property; open all windows and doors.
- Do not smoke. Extinguish all sources of ignition.

THE FIREBED



The stove is supplied with base ceramics and coals/logs, which are to be arranged by
the fitter in strict accordance with the installation instructions. The purchaser must
not alter the layout of the coals/logs or add any extra coals/logs.



The coals/logs used in this stove to produce a realistic coal/log effect are made from
ceramic fibre based material. The coals/logs may change colour after use, which is
quite normal.



Replacement base ceramic and coals/logs must be sourced from your approved
Hunter Stoves Gas stockist.

NOTE: It will take approximately 15-20 minutes for the firebed to take on its proper
appearance of glowing coals and yellow flames.

OPERATING THE APPLIANCE

It is strongly recommended that these instructions are read and thoroughly understood in advance
of operating this appliance.

Gas Control Cover Plate
To gain access to the gas control valve, the cover plate must first be opened. The cover plate opens
from the left and swings out, away from the stove to expose the gas controls.

Burner Controls
The gas control valve is situated at the front on the left-hand side of the appliance, behind the gas
control cover plate.

Pilot Assembly
The pilot assembly is positioned at the front of the burner tray on the right-hand side.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The fitted with a spillage system (TTB), which is in close proximity to the draught diverter and

operates to shut the appliance off if the evacuation of combustion products is interrupted (for

example caused by lack of flue pull or flue blockage).

If this occurs, restart the appliance (as detailed in the “Lighting the Appliance” section, page 6).

If the spillage system repeatedly operates to shut the appliance down, a GAS SAFE registered

engineer should be contacted to examine the appliance and installation.

JIN04MKIICU_V1 10/01/17

LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE

Lighting the Pilot Flame

The gas control valve is fitted with a control knob and gas control valve plate (shown in diagram 1).

Push in and turn the control knob anti-clockwise from the off position until an audible click can be

heard, which causes an ignition spark (between ‘off’ and ‘pilot light’ in diagram 1). Continue to hold

down for approximately 10 seconds after the pilot burner flame has been established (If the pilot

does not light then repeat the procedure listed above).

Adjusting between High and Low Output Settings (Main burner)

Once the Pilot Flame has been established, push the control knob in again and turn anticlockwise to

the desired setting position (high flame or low flame).

To adjust the stove from high flame to low flame, push the control knob in and rotate the knob

clockwise until an audible click is heard when the ‘low flame’ position is reached.

Important Note: It will take approximately 20 – 30 minutes for the fire bed to take on its proper

appearance of glowing red coals/logs and yellow flames.

WARNING!

Should the burner extinguish for any reason, allow at least 3 minutes to elapse before attempting to

re-ignite.

Returning the Stove back to the Permanent Pilot position

The control knob can be pushed in and turned from the ‘high flame’ or ‘low flame’ positions

clockwise to the ‘Pilot light’ position.

Turning the Appliance Off Completely

Diagram 1: The Gas Control Valve

Pushing in and turning the control knob fully clockwise will decrease the flame height and the output

of the stove right down to minimum and then to OFF. The stove should always be returned to the

‘Off’ position if it is to be left unattended.

NOTE: Condensation may form on the glass and other surfaces when the appliance is first lit. This is

normal and will evaporate in a short period. To reduce the amount of condensation on start-up the

pilot flame can be left alight.
