INSTALLATION
1)Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new woodstove. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or even death. Be aware that local Codes and Regulations may override some items in this manual. Check with your local inspector.
2)Select a position for your Hampton Stove. Consult the minimum clearance chart for your model and set the stove in place. For close clearance installation use listed double wall connector systems.
3)To insure vertical alignment, suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling over the exact center of your stove flue and mark a spot on the ceiling to indicate the center of the chimney.
4)Check that the area above the ceiling is clear for cutting.
5)This woodstove must be connected to a UL 103 HT (ULC S629) listed chimney or a code approved masonry chimney with a flue liner, from the ceiling and beyond.
6)Install chimney according to chimney manu- facturers instructions. The performance of your woodstove is governed to a very large part by the chimney system. Too short a chimney can cause difficult
even reduced heat output. Too tall a chimney may prompt excessive draft which can result in very short burn times and excessive heat output. The use of an inexpensive flue pipe damper may be helpful in reducing excessive draft.
CAUTION: The chimney should be the same size as the 6" (152mm) flue outlet on the stove. The chimney must be listed as suit- able for use with solid fuels. For other types of chimneys check with your local building code officials. Do not confuse a chimney with a type “B” Venting System used for gas appliances as suitable for a wood burning appliance (refer to the Mobile Home instal- lations section).
7)Mark the location of the legs on the floor, then move the stove aside and mark the position of the floor protector.
8)The floor protector must be of
NOTE: In Canada, floor protection must ex- tend 18" (450mm) to the front and 8" (200mm) to each side and back of the stove.
9)When the floor protection is complete, posi- tion the stove with the flue collar centered under the installed chimney.
10)In seismically active areas, we recommend that your unit is secured to the floor by using the bolt down holes inside the legs (the same ones used in Mobile Home installations).
11)For residential installations using 6" (152mm) "C" Vent (single wall) the chimney connector must be at least 24 gauge steel. Do not use galvanized pipe (refer to the Mobile Home installation section).
12)Do not connect this unit to a chimney serving another appliance.
13)A chimney connector cannot pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a floor, ceiling, wall or partition of combustible construction. In Canada, if passage through a wall, or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall conform to
14)Your Hampton Woodstove is not to be con- nected to any air distribution duct.
Emissions from burning wood or gas could contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Side Shelves | Add to the traditional look of the stove and double as a warming area for your cookstove creations. |
|
|
Ash Drawer | Adding the ash drawer will allow for easier removal and transport of ashes. |
|
|
