Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.
Any unauthorized modification of the appliance or use of replacement parts not recommended
by the manufacturer is prohibited. All national and local regulations shall be complied with when
operating this appliance.
Caution: Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
Warning: Never place wood, paper, furniture, drapes or other combustible materials within 48" (122cm) of the
front of the unit, 12" (30.5cm) from each side, and 3" (7.6cm) from the back of the unit. Do not let children or
pets touch it when it is hot.
To prevent the possibility of a fire, ensure that the appliance is properly installed by adhering to the installation
instructions. A Hampton dealer will be happy to assist you in obtaining information with regards to your local
building codes and installation restrictions.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SMOKE DETECTION: All homes with a pellet burning stove should have at
least one fire extinguisher in a central location known to all in the household. Smoke detectors should be
installed and maintained in the room containing the stove. If it sounds the alarm, correct the cause but do not
deactivate. You may choose to relocate the smoke detection devise within the room; DO NOT REMOVE THE
SMOKE DETECTOR FROM THE ROOM.
CHIMNEY OR RUN AWAY FIRE: Call local fire department (or dial 911). Close the draft fully. Extinguish the
fire in the burn pot liner with a cup of water and close the door. Examine the flue pipes, chimney, attic, and roof
of the house, to see if any part has become hot enough to catch fire. If necessary, spray with fire extinguisher
or water from the garden hose. IMPORTANT: Do not operate the stove again until you are certain the chimney
and its lining have not been damaged.
OPERATION: The door and ash drawer must be kept closed when the unit is in operation to prevent fume
spillage and for proper and safe operation of the pellet stove. Also ensure all gaskets on the door are checked
and replaced when necessary. Unit hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away.
Contact may cause skin burns.
CAUTION: When operating during adverse weather, if the unit exhibits dramatic changes in combustion stop
using the unit immediately.
FUEL: This stove is designed and approved to only burn wood pellets of any quality, corn, wheat, and barley.
Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and may void the warranty. Check with
your dealer for fuel recommendations. THE USE OF CORD WOOD IS PROHIBITED BY LAW. Do not burn
garbage or flammable fluids such as gasoline, naphtha or engine oil.
SOOT: Operation of the stove with insufficient combustion air will result in the formation of soot which will
collect on the glass, the heat exchanger, the exhaust vent system, and may stain the outside of the house.
Frequently check your stove and adjust the slider/damper as needed to ensure proper combustion. See:
"S /d S ".

CLEANING: There will be some build up of fly ash and small amounts of creosote in the exhaust. This will vary
due to the ash content of the fuel used and the operation of the stove. It is advisable to inspect and clean the
exhaust vent semi-annually or every two tons of pellets.
The appliance, flue gas connector and the chimney flue require regular cleaning. Check them for blockage prior
to re-lighting after a prolonged shut down period.
ASHES: Disposed ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be on a non-combustible surface, well away from all combustible materials pending final disposal.
If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispensed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
