Installation, Before Installing Your Insert

INSTALLATION

Hampton Inserts are constructed with the high- est quality materials and assembled under strict quality control procedures that insure years of trouble free and reliable performance.

It is important that you read this manual thor- oughly and fully understand the safe instal- lation and operating procedures. The more you understand the way your Hampton Insert operates, the more enjoyment you will experi- ence from knowing that your unit is operating at peak performance.

BEFORE INSTALLING

YOUR INSERT

1)Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new wood insert. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or even death. Install and use only in accordance with manufacturer’s installation and operat- ing instructions.

2)Check your local building codes - Building Inspection Department. You may require a permit before installing your insert. Be aware that local codes and regulations may override some items in the manual.

WARNING: Careless installation is the major cause of safety hazard. Check all local building and safety codes before installation of unit.

3)Notify your home insurance company that you plan to install a ﬁ replace insert.

4)Your ﬁ replace insert is heavy and requires two or more people to move it safely. The insert can be badly damaged by mishan- dling.

5)If your existing ﬁ replace damper control will become inaccessible once you have installed your Hampton Insert, you should either remove or secure it in the open posi- tion.

6)Inspect your ﬁ replace and chimney prior to installing your insert to determine that it is free from cracks, loose mortar or other signs of damage. If repairs are required, they should be completed before installing your insert. Do not remove bricks or mortar from your masonry ﬁ replace.

7)Do not connect the insert to a chimney system servicing another appliance or an air distribution duct.

Emissions from burning wood or gas could contain chemicals known to the State of Cali- fornia to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

1)The insert must be tested and meet the requirements of UL 1482 (U.S.) and or ULC S628 (Canada) when tested in a masonry

ﬁreplace built per ULC S628.

2)The factory-built ﬁ replace must be listed per UL 127 or ULC S610.

3)Clearances obtained from the masonry ﬁ re- place tests are also relevant for installation in factory-built ﬁ replaces.

4)Installation must include a full height listed chimney liner type HT requirements (2100 degree F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely attached to the insert ﬂ ue collar and the chimney top.

ﬁreplace. This may be accomplished by sealingthe damperareaaround thechimney liner, or sealing the ﬁ replace front.

6)The air ﬂ ow within and around the ﬁ replace shall not be altered by the installation of the insert (i.e. no louvers or cooling air or outlet ports are blocked), unless speciﬁcally tested as such for each factory - built ﬁ replace manufacturer and model line. (Note: using a louvered face plate (surround) complies with this requirement).

7)Alterationoftheﬁreplaceinanymannerisnot permitted with the following exceptions;

a.external trim pieces which do not affect the operation of the ﬁ replace may be removed providing they can be stored on or within the ﬁreplace for re-assembly if the insert is removed.

b.the chimney damper may be removed to install the chimney liner.

8) Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel

ﬁreplace liner or metal heat circulator) shall not be blocked.

9)Means must be provided for removal of the insert to clean the chimney ﬂ ue.

10)Inserts that project in front of the ﬁ replace must be supplied with appropriate support- ing means.

11)Installer must mechanically attach the sup- plied label to the inside of the ﬁ rebox of the

ﬁreplace into which the insert is installed.

"WARNING:This ﬁreplace has been converted for use with a wood insert only and cannot be used for burning wood or solid fuels unless all original parts have been replaced, and the

ﬁreplace re-approved by the authority having jurisdiction."

In order for a solid-fuel insert to be certiﬁ ed for use in factory-built ﬁ replaces, the above information must be clearly stated in the instal- lation manual and appropriate markings. Final approval is contingent on the authority having jurisdiction.
