OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OVER FIRING & CHIMNEY FIRES
DO NOT
over fire your appliance. Using flammable
liquids or too much wood or firing the stove at max-
imum 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. If this occurs :

Call the Fire Service—
Dial 999

Immediately close all of the air inlets to the
appliance, to reduce the air supply to the
stove.

Move items of furniture and combustibles
away from the stove, to reduce a risk of fire
and to allow access for the fire service.

Ensure access to the loft space is available.

Evacuate the property.
The chimney fire may cause structural damage to
the chimney. Do not use the appliance until the
chimney and connector have been inspected and
any damaged parts have been repaired or
replaced. This should be done by a HETAS
registered engineer.
ASH REMOVAL
The appliance will require ash to be removed
periodically but an ash bed of approximately 20mm
(3/4”) should be maintained. Ash may be removed
with a small shovel whilst the fire is still lit by raking
the embers of a low fire to one side of the firebox
and carefully removing the ash, then repeating the
procedure for the other side. Care must be taken
not to risk burning of hands or household objects
from falling embers.
The ash pan should be emptied at least twice a
day or when the level of ash reaches the top of the
ash pan. On no account should the ash be allowed
to build up to touch the underside of the grate bars,
as this will greatly reduce the life span of the grate.
When the appliance is burning
WOOD , it is
acceptable to maintain an ash bed on top of the
grate bars, of approximately 20mm (3/4”) without
any un-due effect upon the grate bars.
WARNING : The ash can be very hot. Empty only
into a metal container. Even if the ash appears
cold, red-hot pieces of ash may be concealed and
could easily start a fire or cause an injury
RIDDLING GRATE
The Hamlet Hardy range of stoves is provided with a
riddling grate mechanism to aid ash removal and to
ensure complete combustion of the available fuel.
The mechanism is operated via a push/Pull lever
situated on the lower left front of the stove as
pictured below.
Riddle Push/Pull
Operating tool inserted
into the Push / Pull
To riddle the grate insert the operating tool supplied
into the square hole in the riddle pull as pictured
below. 6 to 8 rapid push pull actions should be
sufficient to remove ash and re-invigorate the fire if
fuel is still remaining. The push / Pull bar has travel
stops, but undue force should not be used in order to
avoid damage to the mechanism.
