Lighting The Fire; Extended Burning - Hamlet Hero Deluxe Operating & Installation Manual

LIGHTING THE FIRE

Prior to lighting the fire for the first time check
with the installer that:
•Installation and all building work is complete.
•The chimney is sound and has been swept and is
free from obstruction.
•Adequate provision for combustion air has
been made, i.e. a permanent vent of at least
550mm² per kW of rated output above 5 kW,
is fitted in the room in which the appliance
is installed.
•That Building Regulations and any local
by-laws have been followed during installation
(see installation instructions).
•All firebox liner panels are in place.
•Throat plate is in place.
•Where add in boilers are fitted ensure that the
system is full of water and vented, and
precautions have been taken to prevent corrosion
(see installation Instructions).
•That the chimney draw has been checked and is
within specification. With the chimney warm the
draught should be between 1 - 2mm water gauge
(0.1 - 0.2mbar).
WARNING:
An over drawing chimney can cause
over-firing resulting in damage to the appliance.
WARNING - ADD IN BOILERS: Do not light the
fire if it is suspected that any part of the water
system is frozen.
ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE READ &

SOLID FUEL BURNING
•Ensure that the multifuel grate and ash pan are in

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
•If using a gas poker be sure to remove it
immediately the fire is alight.
•When the fire is well alight regulate the burning
rate by adjusting the setting on the primary air
inlet control.
•The air wash can be opened sufficiently to keep
the door glass clean
BURNING WOOD
•Set air wash to fully open position.
•Proceed as for solid fuel but note the fire will burn
up and become established more quickly.
MIXED FUELS
•As per coal but allow additional secondary air.
•The primary air inlet can be closed and burning
regulated by means of the air wash above the door.
ANTHRACITE
Anthracite 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 the smallest size fuel (Stovesse or Small Nuts).
Proceed as for manufactured smokeless fuel. Leave
the air inlet control open about a quarter or less.
Note: The high temperature paint acquires
durability by being "cured" during the initial
firings of the appliance will give off fumes which
are non-toxic, but which certain persons may find
have an unpleasant or irritant effect. Ensure that
the area is well ventilated during this time.

EXTENDED BURNING

The appliance will burn for an extended period
provided:
•Sufficient fuel is placed in the firebox.
•The controls are set correctly.
•Excess draught is not present in the chimney.
•Close the door.
•If the fire goes out with unburnt fuel left in the
firebox increase the air opening slightly, and vice
versa.
In the morning
Open the air control fully until embers begin to
glow brightly and place pieces of fuel on the fire
until it is well established.
