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.

series of videos:

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

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
8
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.
