Do not use the appliance as an incinerator.
Use only recommended fuels, STRICTLY NO unsuitable and non recommended fuels or

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

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.
