OPERATING YOUR STOVE
Hamlet stoves are designed to be operated with the fire door(s) closed at all times, apart from re-fuelling (when alight) or cleaning (when cold).
Never leave the appliance unattended for an extended length of time with the door(s) open.
FUEL TYPES
WOOD
Any type of wood is suitable provided it is well seasoned and has a moisture content below 20%. This usually implies that the timber has been suitably stored to allow moisture to evaporate for at least nine months in the case of soft wood, and at least twenty four months in the case of hard wood. We recommend that for general burning, wood should be split into logs of no more than 100mm (4”) diameter.
WARNING: Wet wood must not be used as this will greatly contribute to the creation of tar and creosote which may, in extreme cases, run
down the chimney in liquid form. This will seriously damage both the chimney and the appliance and increase the risk of a chimney fire.
Please Note: If you have sticky tar inside the appliance or chimney your wood is ‘green’ or too wet.
PAPER – Paper will burn successfully. Burn dry paper only or chimney damage will occur.
WARNING: Never burn plastics, household waste or liquid fuels in your stove.
SOLID FUEL
Arada recommends the use of HETAS approved smokeless fuels which have been deemed suitable for use on closed appliances, including multi fuel stoves. These include:
Homefire Ecoal
Homefire Ecoal Instant Light Taybrite
Homefire Newflame
Homefire Ovals Maxibrite
Supertherm Sunbrite
Ancit Pureheat
Phurnacite
For additional advice on fuels, please refer to The Solid Fuel Association.
LIGHTING THE FIRE
Prior to lighting the stove for the first time, check with the installer that:
Installation and all building work is complete.
(Refer to the installation guide.)
The chimney is sound, has been swept and is
free from obstruction.
Adequate provision for combustion air has
been made, i.e. a permanent vent of at least 550mm sq. per kW of rated output above 5kW, is fitted in the room in which the appliance is installed.
That Building Regulations and any local
USER GUIDE
by-
laws have been followed during installation.
See separate
installation guide.
All firebox liner panels and throat plate are in
place.
That the chimney draw has been checked
and is within specification. With the chimney warm, the draught should be between 1-2 mm water gauge or 0.1 to 0.2 mbar.
A Carbon Monoxide detector is correctly
installed in the same room as the appliance.
WARNING: An over drawing chimney can cause over firing, resulting in damage to the appliance.
Ensure that you have read and understood these instructions before lighting the fire.
Always wear suitable protective fire gloves when refuelling your stove, such as the Arada glove supplied with your stove.
AIR INLET CONTROLS
If you have a DEFRA stove model please refer to page 6 for instructions on operating the air controls.
Your stove has two air inlet controls. These may be located either on the stove body or the door.
The primary air inlet providing under draught to the base of the fire chamber and the airwash system (secondary air) providing overdraught.
The exact controls may differ from
those illustrated
in this manual but will work in
the same way.
PRIMARY AIR
Air enters the appliance through the control on the
bottom of the fire door. Your stove has a single
control
knob which slides left to right. Sliding the knob to the right, see Fig. 1. will increase the amount of air intake to the stove.
To decrease, push the slider to the left, see Fig. 2.
AIRWASH SYSTEM / SECONDARY AIR
The airwash system is located either at the top of / above the fire door. Sliding the control knob to the RIGHT as far as it will go, achieves the fully open position, see Fig. 3.

Sliding it to the LEFT will shut off the air inlet slots as shown in Fig. 4.
BURNING WOOD
Set the fire by using scrunched up newspaper and place a layer of dry kindling wood on top of
this.
The use of two or three fire lighters may assist
to light the kindling.
Set the primary air and airwash controls to
the fully open position.
After the kindling has caught light, you
should leave the fire door ajar by about 20mm. This will aid flue draw.
The flue draw should be established after
five minutes, and the kindling well burnt down to form an ember bed.
Carefully load the stove with well seasoned
wood and close the fire door.
After ten to fifteen minutes, regulate the
airwash control, typically reduce to approximately half way.
Close the primary air control as generally no
air from below the grate is required when burning wood.

Please Note: The high temperature paint acquires
durability by being “cured” during
the initial firings of the appliance. It will give off fumes which are non toxic, but certain persons may find they have an unpleasant or irritant effect. Ensure that the surrounding area is well ventilated during this time.
BURNING SOLID FUELS
Only applicable to multi fuel stoves.
Set the airwash to one quarter open.
Set the primary air inlet to fully open.
Light as with wood with kindling and fire
lighters.
Once flue draw has been established, after
about five minutes, carefully load the
stove with fuel and close the door.
When the fire is well alight regulate the
burning rate by controlling the primary air inlet control.
The airwash should be opened sufficiently
to keep the door glass clean.
Whilst burning solid fuel it can be beneficial to occasionally riddle the grate bars so any burnt fuel will fall between the grate bars into the ash pan below. This will ensure a good under draught is maintained.
WARNING: Properly installed, with a suitable flue or chimney, operated and maintained correctly, this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes when de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must be investigated by a HETAS registered installer.

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 sec­tions 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. Alterna­tively 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.

Hamlet User Guide
The ash pan should be emptied 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. The ash will require less frequent removal when burning wood compared to solid fuels.
WARNING: The ash can be very hot. Empty only into a metal container. Even if the ash appears cold, red-hot embers may be concealed
and could easily start a fire or
cause an injury.
MAINTENANCE

Hamlet User Guide
SUMMER STORAGE / NON USAGE
Please ensure that your stove is left clean and moving components are well lubricated for the summer months (during periods of prolonged non-use). If possible store the throat plate outside of the stove. Check all moveable components at regular intervals, to ensure they are moving freely.
Allow air movement through the stove by opening the airwash and primary air inlet control(s) to about half way, open or leave the door ajar. This will allow a free flow of air through the appliance thus preventing moisture and condensation forming inside the stove and chimney. This preventative maintenance will ensure your stove stays in the best condition for the coming winter months.
ADJUSTING THE DOOR HINGES
Once the appliance has been under fire for a period of time the fire door may appear to have moved out of alignment with relation to the door aperture or catch. This is quite normal and due to the settling of the casting.
The fire door can be re-aligned as follows:
1. When the appliance is cold, open the fire door so that it is at right angles to the front of the stove.
2. Lift the fire door up off its hinges.
3. Gently tap the hinge pins to compensate for the misalignment.
4. Re-fit the door and check to ensure it now sits square to the body; if not repeat the above steps.
If the fire door needs to be raised, please follow the instructions below:
1. When the appliance is cold, open the fire door so that it is at right angles to the front of the stove.
2. Lift the fire door up off the hinges.
3. Drop one washer on the top and bottom hinge pins. Fit the door and check.
