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.
