Valor Hamlet Multifuel Stove
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
AIR INLET CONTROLS
The Valor Hamlet multifuel stove has two air inlets:
•The primary air inlet providing under draught to
the base of the fire chamber through the controls on
the fire doors of the stove.
•The air wash system (so called because its
pre-heated high speed air washes, across the inner
face of the door glass, keeping it clear), which
provides over draught to the fire chamber.
PRIMARY AIR
On the Valor Hamlet, primary air enters the appli-
ance through the controls on the bottom of either
fire doors. Moving the control knobs to the plus
symbol (+) will increase the air inlet, moving to the
minus symbol (-) to reduce the air inlet, or to close
the ash door completely.
AIRWASH SYSTEM
The air wash has an internal sliding plate with slots,
housed within a cover plate, and is located above the
fire doors. Sliding the control knob to the right towards
the plus symbol (+) as far as it will go, achieves the
fully open position. Sliding it to the left , minus sym-
bol (-) will shut off the air inlet slots as shown in
Fig. 18. and Fig. 19.
MULTI-PURPOSE OPERATING
TOOL
Your Valor Hamlet stove comes with a multi-pur-
pose operating tool, which is used for riddling, set-
ting the multifuel grate, (fuel position) , adjusting
the air inlet holes and for the removal of the ashpan.
SETTING THE GRATE
To use the operating tool for setting the grate in the
coal burning position or the wood burning position,
place the tool over the external round bar extension
, found on the front right hand side of the stove,
(see Fig. 20.), move the lever to the desired position
as indicated upon the bracket fixed to the stove.
This lever is also used for de-ashing and riddling
TO EMPTY THE ASH PAN
Open the fire doors. Fit the fork end of the operat-
ing tool into the ash pan and remove from the ash
pit chamber.
Empty the ash into a suitable container and
replace ashpan into the stove, withdraw the oper-
ating tool and close the fire doors.
(Also see section on ash removal)
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.
