operating instructions
13) All fuel burning appliances consume oxygen
during operation. It is important that you
supply a source of fresh air to your unit
while burning. A slightly opened window is
sufficient for the purpose. If you also have
a fireplace in your home, a downdraft may
be created by your Hampton Stove causing
a draft down your chimney. If this occurs,
slightly open a window near your unit.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit,
flue baffle or any part of the chimney
connector starts to glow, you are over -
firing. Stop loading fuel immediately
and close the draft control until the
glow has completely subsided.
14) Green or wet wood is not recommended for
your unit. If you must add wet or green fuel,
open the draft control fully until all moisture
has been dispersed by the intense fire.
Once all moisture has been removed, the
draft control may be adjusted to maintain
the fire.
15) If you have been burning your stove on a low
draft, use caution when opening the door.
After opening the damper, open the door
a crack, and allow the fire to adjust before
fully opening the door.
16) The controls of your unit or the air supply
passages should not be altered to increase
firing for any reason.
17) If you burn the unit too slowly or at too low
a setting your unit will not be operating as
efficiently as it can. An easy rule of thumb
says that if your glass is clean, then your flue
is clean and your exhaust is clean. Burn the
stove hot enough to keep your glass clean
and you won't need to clean your flue as
often.
4) After about 45 minutes, when your wood
has begun to burn strongly, adjust your draft
control down to keep the fire at a moderate
level.
WARNING: Never build a roaring
fire in a cold stove. Always warm
your stove up slowly!
5) Once a bed of coals has been established
on the firebrick hearth, you may adjust the
draft control to a low setting to operate the
unit at its most efficient mode.
6) During the first few fires, keep the combus -
tion rate at a moderate level and avoid a
large fire. Only after 5 or 6 such fires can you
operate the stove at its maximum setting,
and only after the metal has been warmed.
7)
For the first few days, the stove will give
off an odour from the paint. This is to be
expected as the high temperature paint
becomes seasoned. Windows and/or doors
should be left open to provide adequate
ventilation while this temporary condition
exists. Burning the stove at a very high
temperature the first few times may damage
the paint. Burn fires at a moderate level the
first few days.
8) Do not place anything on the stove top
during the curing process. This may result
in damage to your paint finish.
9)
During the first few days it may be more
difficult to start the fire. As you dry out your
firebrick and your masonry flue, your draft
will increase.
10)
For those units installed at higher elevations
or into sub-standard masonry fireplaces,
drafting problems may occur. Consult an
experienced dealer or mason on methods
of increasing your draft.
11) Some cracking and popping noises may be
experienced during the heating up process.
These noises will be minimal when your unit
reaches temperature.
12) Before opening your door to reload, open
draft fully for approximately 10 to 15 seconds
until fire has been re-established. This will
minimize any smoking.
FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and in-
spected you are ready for your first fire.
1)
Open control fully.
2) Open firebox door and build a small fire us -
ing paper and dry kindling on the firebrick
hearth. Secure door on the firebox and wait
a few minutes for a good updraft in the flue to
establish the fire. (Leaving the door slightly
open will help your fire start more rapidly.)
CAUTION: Never leave unit unat -
tended if door is left open. This
procedure is for fire start-up only,
as unit may overheat if door is left
open for too long.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
With your unit now correctly installed and safety
inspected by your local authority, you are now
ready to start a fire. Before establishing your
first fire, it is important that you fully understand
the operation of your draft control.
See below, First Fire section, for details.
3) With the draft still in the fully open position
add two or three seasoned logs to your fire.
Form a trench in the ash bed to allow air to
reach the rear of the firebox prior to closing
the door.
FAN OPERATION
Automatic
To operate the optional fan automatically, push
the bottom switch on the side of the fan housing
to "AUTO" and the top switch to either "HIGH"
or "LOW" for fan speed.
This will allow the fan to turn on as the stove
has come up to operating temperature. It will
also shut the fan system off after the fire has
gone out and the unit cooled to below a useful
heat output range.
Manual
To manually operate the fan system push the bot-
tom switch to "MAN" and the top switch to either
"HIGH" or "LOW". This will bypass the sensing
device and allow full control of the fan.
Switching from "AUTO" to "MAN" or "HIGH" to
"LOW" may be done anytime.
