ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
FITTING THE GRATE
The Grate
The grate in the Hamlet Solution Inset stove,
comprises of a series of reciprocating cast iron
grate bars, seated on a pivoted ‘comb’. All bars in
the grate are identical, but every other bar is
turned through 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.
Assembling The Grate
If you have purchased the riddling grate bar set as
an upgrade to a wood only burning stove you will
need to remove the following items before
commencing with the assembly and fitting of the
grate. ( see page 3 for identification images)
1. Remove the fuel retainer bars.
2. Remove the wood tray (AFS 1401)
3. Remove the Inner and Outer
Wood cover plate set (AFS 1404)
See Fig 1 & 2
To assemble the grate,
First fit the rear grate bar support (AFS 1327 ) into
the left and right Side Landing slots as shown in
Fig 3.
Next fit the comb and comb extension bar as
follows:-
Feed the comb extension bar through the hole in
the body of the stove from the outer face with the
slotted end inside the stove. Insert the comb into
the hole in the left stove side landing. Align the slot
so as to allow the end section of the comb and pin
to drop into the receiving slot and hole in the
extension bar. Check for free movement by
‘riddling’ the comb extension bar.
See Fig 4 a-d. (page 5)
Fit the grate bars to the low sections of the comb
first, inserting ends marked ‘H’ into the rear
channel with the groove on the underside of the
bar located on the up stand tab, and then lowering
end marked ‘L’ onto the low section of the comb,
see Fig. 5. (page 6)
The upper bar is fitted in a similar manner, but with
the end marked ‘L’ inserted in the rear channel,
and the end marked ‘H’ seated on the high section
of the comb. See Fig. 6. for the assembled grate
layout.

Wood Coal bracket
The wood coal bracket replaces the outer wood
cover plate, and is attached using the same
screws once removed. See fig 7.
The multi-purpose tool to supplied with the stove
can be use to ‘riddle’ the grate when burning
solid fuel, and to set the grate position for fuel
types.
The upper ‘+’ position is best suited for coal and
the lower ‘-’ position is generally for the burning
of wood.
Wood / Coal bracket, replaces the Outer
Wood Cover Plate
NOTE:
When the grate assembly & installation is complete
re-fit the 2 no. fuel retainer bars, that were removed
earlier.
Grate Bar Replacement
After extended use it may be necessary to replace
some of the grate bars. Periodic inspection of the
bars is recommended and the removal of any nails or
wire that may be present after burning wood. All the
grate bars in each appliance are identical and can
easily be lifted out after the removal of the fuel
retainers. Remove damaged grate bars and replace
with castings of the same type, fitting as per the
instructions on page 4. When re-ordering
replacement grate bar, See page 3 of these
instructions for the correct spare part code.

BURNING SOLID FUEL
SOLID FUEL BURNING
Set the grate t the ‘+’ position
Ensure the ash pan is in position
Set the air wash to one quarter open
Set the primary air inlet to fully open
See PRIMARY AIR Section opposite
Light as normal with kindling or fire lighter
If a gas poker is used be sure to remove it as
soon as the fire is alight
Close the fire door
When the fire is well alight regulate the burning
rate by controlling the primary air inlet control
The air wash can be opened sufficiently to keep
the door glass clean
MIXED FUELS
The grate can be set to either Wood or Coal
position depending on the main percentage of
the fuel to be burnt
As per coal but allow addition secondary air
The primary air inlet can be closed and burning
regulated by means of the air wash above the
door (s)
ANTHRACITE
Anthricite is more difficult to keep in for long
periods, consequently more care in setting the
controls and some familiarisation is necessary
when burning Anthracite.
Use small size fuels (Stovesse or Small Nuts)
Proceed as for manufactured smokless fuel. Leave
the air inlet control open about a quarter or less.
EXTENDED BURNING
The appliance will burn for extended periods
provided:-
Sufficient fuel is placed in the firebox
The controls are correctly set
Excess draught is not present in the chimney
The door is closed
If the fire goes out with un burnt fuel in the
firebox increase the air opening slightly, and
vice versa.
In The Morning
Open the air controls fully until embers begin to
glow brightly, then place pieces of fuel on the fire
until it is well established. Complete re-fuelling can
now be undertaken
IMPORTANT
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.
PRIMARY AIR
Air enters the appliance through the control on the
bottom of the fire door. The Hamlet Solution has a
single control knob which slide left to right. Sliding
the knob to the Right (+), will increase the amount
of air intake to the stove. To decrease, push the
slider to the Left (-)
