Safety Warnings & Recommendations
ELECTRICAL: The use of a surge protected power bar is highly recommended.
The unit must be
grounded.
The grounded electrical cord should be connected to a standard 110-120 volts (4.2 Amps), 60 hertz
electrical outlet and also must be accessible. If this power cord should become damaged, a replacement power
cord must be purchased from the manufacturer or a qualified Hampton dealer. Be careful that the electrical cord
is not trapped under the appliance and that it is clear of any hot surfaces or sharp edges. This unit’s maximum
power requirement is 504 watts.
GLASS:
Do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door. Do not attempt to operate the stove with
broken glass. The stove uses ceramic glass. Replacement glass must be purchased from an Hampton dealer.
Do not attempt to open the door and clean the glass while the unit is in operation or if glass is hot. To clean the
glass, use a soft cotton cloth and mild window cleaner, gas or wood stove glass cleaner, or take a damp paper
towel and dip into the fly ash. This is a very mild abrasive and will not damage the glass.
KEEP ASH PAN FREE OF RAW FUEL.
DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR NEW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN. A fire
in the ash pan may occur.
INSTALLATION:
Contact your local building or fire official to obtain a permit and any information on installation
restrictions and inspection requirements for your area.
Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of your home when passing a vent through walls, ceilings, or roofs,
and all construction meets local building codes. It is recommended that the unit be secured into its position
in order to avoid any displacement. This appliance must be installed on a floor with an adequate load bearing
capacity, if existing construction doesn’t meet load capacity, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate)
must be taken to achieve it.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
FRESH AIR:
This unit uses large quantities of air for combustion; outside Fresh Air connection is
strongly
recommended. Fresh Air
must
be connected to all units installed in Mobile and “Air Tight Homes” (R2000) or
where required by local codes.
Consider all large air moving devices when installing your unit and provide room air accordingly. NOTE:
Extractor fans when operating in the same room or space as the appliance may cause problems. Limited air for
combustion may result in poor performance, smoking and other side effects of poor combustion.
The stove’s exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slightly positive chimney
pressure. It is very important to ensure that the exhaust system be sealed and airtight. The ash pan and
viewing door must be locked securely for proper and safe operation of the pellet stove.
Do not burn with insufficient combustion air. A periodic check is recommended to ensure proper combustion air
is admitted to the combustion chamber. Setting the proper combustion air is achieved by adjusting the slider
damper located on the left side of the stove.
Soot or creosote may accumulate when the stove is operated under incorrect conditions such as an rich burn
(black tipped, lazy orange flames).
If you have any questions with regards to your stove or the above-mentioned information, please feel free to
contact your local dealer for further clarification and comments.
