2.2 Health and Safety
Please consult health and safety guidelines for advice on handling heavy and / or large
items.
2.3 Smoke control areas (The Clean Air Act 1993 & Smoke Control Areas)
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of
the authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of
a building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control
area. It is also an offence to acquire an “unauthorised fuel” for use within a smoke control
area unless it is used in an “exempt” appliance (“exempted” from the controls which
generally apply in the smoke control area).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary of State in
accordance with changes made to section 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by section
15 of the Deregulation Act 2015. In Scotland appliances are exempted by publication on a
list by Scottish Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.
Similarly in Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs under Section 16 of the
Environmental Better Regulation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016. In Wales appliances are
exempted by regulations made by Welsh Ministers.
Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including des-
ignation and supervision of smoke control areas and you can contact them for details of
Clean Air Act requirements.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found
here : https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules
The following list of Solution Inset S4 models :
 Hamlet Solution Inset 5 S4 5kW stove
 Hamlet Solution Inset 7 S4 7kW stove
are currently exempt or have been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control
areas, when burning wood logs and when fitted with a factory set mechanical stop, to

3 Recommended fuels
3.1 Wood
As a natural and renewable fuel, wood is the first choice for burning, however burning
wood requires a little effort and planning.
Any type of wood is suitable (though hardwood is preferable) 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 9 months in the case of soft
wood, and at least 24 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 inches) diameter.
If, when burning wood, you see signs of sticky tar inside the appliance or chimney, your
wood is ‘green’ or too wet and requires further seasoning. An electronic moisture meter
can be obtained in order to determine the moisture content of your wood fuel.
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.
3.2 Mineral Smokeless (Solid Fuel)
The appliance has been approved to burn mineral smokeless fuels.
It is important to ensure that your fuel is intended for use in a stove or closed appliance.
Modern stoves are designed for use with the cleaner burning and smokeless fuels.
Hamlet stoves, recommends the use of approved smokeless fuels which have been
deemed suitable for use on closed appliances including multi fuel stoves or boilers.
Authorised fuels suitable for Smoke Control Areas, see https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/
fuels
For additional advise on fuels, please refer to the Solid Fuel Association
(www.solidfuel.co.uk)
DO NOT BURN Bituminous house coal or petroleum coke in this appliance.
PLEASE NOTE : All test data, outputs and efficiencies stated in this instruction manual
were obtained by burning ‘Maxibrite’ mineral smokeless fuel.
DO NOT BURN Any form of plastics in this appliance.

4 Before using your stove
4.1 Pointers Before Use
Solution Inset S4 stoves are designed to be operated with the fire door(s) closed at
all times, apart from refuelling (when alight) or cleaning (when cold).
Never leave the appliance unattended for an extended length of time with the door(s)
open.
Prior to lighting the stove for the first time, please 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.
 Building Regulations and any local by-laws have been followed during installation.
 All firebox liner panels and throat plate are in place.
 The chimney draw has been checked and is within specification (between 0.1mb to
0.2mb, or 10-20 pascals). This ensures your stove will operate predictably and
efficiently.
 Carbon Monoxide detector is correctly installed in the same room as the appliance.
 Suitable provision for combustion and ventilation air, depending upon building
regulations have been undertaken by the installation fitter.
 Consideration must be given for the need for extra ventilation if another heating
source needing air is to be operated simultaneously. If an extraction fan is proposed
to be fitted to a connecting area of the house, after the stove has been installed,
professional advice should be sought from a qualified engineer.
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 hot
glove supplied with your stove. Always keep the hot glove away from naked flames and
sparks, when re-fuelling the appliance.
We recommend that you light a small fire for the first few days of use to cure the paint and
allow the castings to relax.
You may hear your stove produce clicking or ticking noises whilst it heats up or cools
down. This is completely normal and is produced by the expansion and contraction of the
steel components in your stove when its temperature changes.

5.1.2 Primary air control
The primary air control regulates the air entering the fire box chamber, suppling air to the
under side of the fuel bed.
The control has an internal rotary plate with slots, housed inside the body of the appliance
and is located centrally below the fire door assembly.
Sliding the control knob to the right, as far as it will go, achieves the fully open position, see
figure 1. Sliding it to the left will shut down / reduce the air as shown in figure 2.
5.1.3 Secondary air control
The secondary air control regulates the air entering the fire box chamber, suppling an
overdraught of air to the fuel bed, together with supplying air in front of the glass viewing
panel within the door assembly. This is known also as the air wash system.
This control is situated, centrally above the fire door, when facing the front of the stove.

The control has an internal sliding plate with slots, housed inside the body of the appliance
and is located centrally above the fire door assembly, when looking at the front of the
appliance.
Sliding the control knob to the right, as far as it will go, achieves the fully open position, see
figure 3. Sliding it to the left will shut down / reduce the air as shown in figure 4.
NOTE : If your stove installation is within a smoke control area, it will be fitted with a
restrictor screw, acting as a mechanical stop for the secondary air control. This will not fully
close, thus allowing a bleed of air to the fire box to reduce smoke emissions.
5.1.4 Tertiary Air
All models have tertiary air supply that can be seen working during certain conditions during
the burning period. The outlet for the tertiary air, is at the rear of the fire box chamber, just
below the throat plate through a series of small holes. (See page 6).
Tertiary air is employed, to provide additional air to the upper areas of the fire box to
promote additional burning of the unburnt combustion gases and thus ensuring a cleaner
burn emission.
The 7kW version has no user adjustment required for the tertiary air, as the required air
supply is factory set during the production process.

6 Lighting your stove
6.1.1 Smoke control areas
Please check whether your dwelling is located in a smoke control area before installation or
use. Please check with your local authority or https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules.
6.1.2 Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading
can cause excess smoke. Please see technical data section in this manual.
6.1.3 Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance MUST NOT be
operated with the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.
6.1.4 Dampers / Air controls left open
Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The
appliance must not be operated with the air controls, appliance damper or door left open
except as directed in these instructions.
6.2 Burning wood
When wood is burnt ,it is in fact the volatile gases released from the wood, that burn and
this requires a good supply of air coming from above the fuel.
For this reason we will use all the air inlets while igniting the stove, but will then reduce this
to air coming from the air wash system and over draught. As much as 40% of the heat from
burning wood is obtained from secondary combustion and this can be severely hampered
by air entering the fire box from below the fuel.
1) Set the fire, by placing several layers of dry kindling wood into a criss-cross grid
pattern on top of the grate bars. The use of two or three fire lighters may assist in
lighting the kindling.
2) Fully open the primary and secondary air controls and light the fire lighters and
or kindling wood.
3) After the kindling has caught light, you should almost close the fire door leaving it
ajar by about 10mm. This will aid flue draw during the initial lighting of the fire.
4) The flue temperature and draw should be established after five minutes and the
kindling reduced to form an ember bed. Carefully load the stove with well seasoned
wood and fully close the fire door.
5) After ten minutes, fully close the primary air control and regulate the secondary air
control to control the burn rate and maintain clear glass, typically by reducing to
approximately half open.
USER GUIDE

Page 16 BK745
Hamlet Soluon Inset (S4) Stove User Guide
6.3 Burning solid fuels
Solid fuel burns best with its air supply for combustion coming from underneath the fuel.
To achieve this, the burn will be controlled by the primary air control.
A reduced setting may also be required on the secondary air control, to maintain clear
glass on the door assembly.
Riddling the stove occasionally will also help to ensure that burnt fuel does not prevent the
supply of air from reaching the fuel bed.
The procedure for lighting / burning solid fuel, is as follows : -
1) Set the air wash (secondary) air control to about one quarter open and the primary air
control fully open.
*5kW Version, fully pull out the tertiary air slider, for the solid fuel setting (see P14).
2) Lay the fire by using several layers of dry kindling wood into a criss-cross grid pattern
on top of the grate bars. The use of two or three fire lighters may assist in lighting the
kindling.
3) After the kindling has caught light, you should almost close the fire door leading it ajar
by about 10mm. This will aid the flue draw during the initial lighting of the appliance.
4) Once the flue draw has been established, after about five minutes, carefully load the
stove with solid fuel, it is suggested that the initial loading is best done using fire tongs
and placing the fuel, rather than shovelling the fuel.
5) When the fire is well alight regulate the burning rate by controlling the primary air
control.
6) The secondary air control (air wash) should be closed enough to enable a sufficient
supply of air to the glass to keep the door glass clean.
7) 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. Please see ‘Section
13—Further Information’ on the procedure for riddling.

6.4 Warning - Fume / Smoke emissions
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
refuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must
be investigated by an approved / registered installer.
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 approved installer.
Do not attempt to re-light the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified
and corrected.
6.5 Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive
smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of
glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there
are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling for ignition to prevent excessive
smoke.
Important notes on usage, to meet the requirements of Smoke Control exemption -
 Always recharge onto hot embers.
 After re-charging, fully open both the primary and secondary air controls for the
following times, in order to establish good combustion -
Hamlet Solution 5kW Inset S4—2 to 3 minutes with the fire door ajar
Hamlet Solution 7kW Inset S4 — 3 minutes with the fire door ajar
 Do not leave the appliance unattended until flames are well established.
 Periodic burning out of the fuel bed at high output to combust any remaining
charcoal.

6.6 Smoke Control Area (The Clean Air Act 1993 & Smoke Control Areas)
If the stove is to be installed in a designated Smoke Control Area (further information can
be found via https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules ) then the installer will have
fitted the a restrictor screw for the secondary air lever to prevent total closure of this air
control.
NOTE :
The minimum air control setting is governed in manufacture to meet the
requirements of Smoke Control exemption and as a result the appliance will NOT
shut down completely when in the minimum air position setting.
Removal or modification of the fitted air control fixing (See Fig. 5) is illegal when the
appliance is installed in a smoke exemption area and doing so may result in
prosecution and fine.
6.7 Typical burn for nominal output
To perform the most efficient burn at the nominal rated output please consult the
specification table at the rear of this manual. Please note, many factors can effect the
nominal output, so the stated weights of fuel (Seasoned hard wood, Beech and Mineral
solid fuel, ‘Maxibrite’) are a guide, which is a representation to laboratory test burn
conditions.

7 Further information for all stove owners
7.1 Reduced burning (Slow Combustion)
When wood is burnt slowly in a closed appliance (eg: air controls at the minimum setting), 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.
To avoid chimney problems your appliance should not be burnt at a reduced burn rate with-
out a period of fast burning. Fast burning is when the stove is burnt with a ’lively flame’ and
a higher temperature. We strongly advise against stoking the fire with wood and reducing
the air inlets before leaving the stove to extinguish (perhaps when retiring to bed) as this
can lead to a cooling of the stove and flue also resulting in incomplete combustion, sooty
deposits and high levels of pollutant gases released into the environment.
7.2 Over firing
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 and this may result in a chimney fire. Other signs include warping and a red
-oxide colouring will demonstrate the over-heating of internal parts; body paint which has
turned dusty white is also indicative of such use.
7.3 Chimney fires
Used in the correct manner, with the correct fuel and regular maintenance a chimney fire
should never occur, however in the even of a chimney fire, the following procedure should
be actioned without delay:
 Call the fire service—DIAL 999
 Immediately close all of the air inlet supplies on the appliance, to reduce the air
supply to the stove.
 Move items of furniture and combustibles away from the surrounding area of
the stove, to reduce the risk of fire and allow access for the fire service.
 Ensure access to the loft space is available.
 Evacuate the property.

Hamlet Soluon Inset (S4) Stove User Guide
7.4 Periods of non-use (summer months)
Please ensure that your stove is left clean and moving components are well lubricated with
a water repelling corrosion inhibitor 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 primary air inlet control 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.
7.5 Riddling the grate
To riddle the grate, please keep the main fire door closed to prevent ash, from discharging
from the firebox.
Using the glove supplied, locate the operating tool onto the riddling boss, located on the
right hand side of the appliance. Moving the operating up and down repeatedly, will result in
agitating the grate bars and thus allowing ash to drop into the pan
WARNING : ALWAYS USE THE
GLOVE SUPPLIED.
Extreme care must be taken if the
appliance is under fire, risk of injury or
burn.
