USER GUIDE
Stop using the appliance if you smell fumes or
see smoke escaping.
If fume emission does persist, the following
immediate actions should be taken:
Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
Let the fire die or extinguish and safely
dispose of fuel from the appliance.
Check for flue or chimney blockage, and
clean if required.
Seek expert advice from your HETAS registered
installer. Do not attempt to re-light the fire until
the cause of the fume emission has been
identified and corrected.
MULTI FUEL GRATE
The grate in your Hamlet stove comprises of
a series of reciprocating cast iron bars seated
on a pivoted comb. These should come pre
assembled in your new stove.
All bars in the grate are identical, but every
other bar is turned 180 degrees, with the ends
of the bars marked ‘H’ sitting on the high sec-
tions of the comb, and the ends marked ‘L’
sitting on the low sections.
The riddling lever, either on the side or front of
the stove, can be operated with the stove
operating tool to riddle ash into the ash pan
below. Only riddle the stove with the door
closed and stop once red embers begin to fall
into the ash pan.
After extended use it may be necessary to
replace some of the grate bars. Periodic
inspection of the bars is recommended and
any damaged bars replaced. Also check for
obstructions that may prevent the operation of
the riddling mechanism.
DOOR GLASS
The door glass should remain clear during normal
burning. However, under certain conditions,
such as burning at a low rate or using damp
wood, or overnight burning, the glass may
become somewhat blackened. To remedy this,
operate the appliance at a fast rate. Alterna-
tively when the stove is cold, open the door
and clean the inside face of the glass with a
damp cloth or with glass cleaner (available
from stove stockists and online at
www.aradastovesandspares.com).
REDUCED BURNING
When wood is burnt slowly in a closed
appliance, it produces moisture and tar,
which will create condensation and deposits
in the chimney. This effect can be minimised
by burning hard for a short period, fifteen to
twenty minutes, twice a day.
Please Note:
To avoid chimney problems your
appliance should not be burnt at a reduced
burn rate without a period of fast burning.
OVER FIRING & CHIMNEY FIRES
DO NOT
over fire your appliance. Firing the
stove at maximum for prolonged periods may
result in over-firing. If the chimney connector
or casing glows red the appliance is being
over-fired, this may result in a chimney fire.
ASH REMOVAL
The appliance will require ash to be removed
periodically but an ash bed of approximately
20mm (3/4”) should be maintained. Care
must be taken not to burn hands or household
objects with falling embers.
