HOW TO DETERMINE IF ALTERNATE
FLOOR PROTECTION MATERIALS ARE ACCEPTABLE
The specified floor protector should be 3/8"
(18mm) thick material with a K - factor of
0.84.
The proposed alternative is 4" (100mm) brick
with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8" (3mm) mineral
board with a K-factor of 0.29.
Step (a):
Use formula above to convert specification
to R-value.
R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893.
Step (b):
Calculate R of proposed system.
4" brick of C = 1.25, therefore
Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80
1/8" mineral board of k = 0.29, therefore
Rmin.bd. = 1/0.29 x 0.125 = 0.431
Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral board =
0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231.
Step (c):
Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to
specifiedRof0.893.Sinceproposedsystem
R is greater than required, the system is
acceptable.

NOTE: You will be required to purchase either the standard or offset
6" diameter (152mm) flue adaptor that is best suited for the specific
installation.
List of Tools needed;
- Pull Rod (included with insert)
- 1/2” socket / ratchet
- 3/8 open face wrench
4) Install flex liner into existing chimney as per liner manufacturer’s
specifications. See diagram 1.
5) Install the required flue adaptor onto the end of the flex liner. Secure
the adaptor using 3 screws - 1 on the front, left and right side as
shown in diagram 2.
Alignment of the flue adaptor can be critical during the install, it is
recommended that the flex liner be left as compressed as possible.

6) Installtheunitbyfirstsettingtherearoftheunitintothefireplace.See
diagram 3. Ensure that the unit is centered in the existing fireplace
and lined up with the flue adaptor.
7) Slide the unit back until the flue adaptor is slightly engaged.
8) At this point it is recommended to level the unit and ensure that the
leveling bolts rest on the surface of the fireplace. This will keep the
adaptor from binding as the unit is slid into position.
9) Insert the provided pull rod through the hole in the top center of
the unit. Secure the threaded end into the flue adaptor as shown in
diagram 4. While sliding the unit into place pull on the rod to ensure
that the flue adaptor is properly engaged. See diagram 5.
Pull Rod
10) Ensure that the unit is still level.
11) To complete the installation and to ensure a secure fit and connec-
tion of the flue adaptor to the insert, it is essential that the two bolts,
flat washers and lock washers (supplied with packaged manual) be
installed and tightened using a 1/2" socket as shown in diagram 6.
This prevents the possibility of creosote drip and exhaust gas leak-
age.
12) Remove the pull rod from the top center of the fireplace. See
diagram 7.
NOTE: The pull rod should not be thrown away. It should be kept if
the stove is ever needed to be removed from the fireplace.

will also help increase the unit's efficiency and
decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected flue or liner is in use, the
insert is able to “breathe” better by allowing a
greaterdrafttobecreated. Thegreaterdraftcan
decrease problems such as, difficult start-ups,
smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
1) When installed in a factory built fireplace, a
full stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner
is mandatory, for both safety and perform-
ance purposes. When a flue or liner is in
use, the insert is able to breathe better by
allowing a greater draft to be created. The
greater draft can decrease problems such
as, difficult start-ups, smoking out the door,
and dirty glass.
2) In order to position the flue liner, the exist-
ing rain cap must be removed from your
chimney system. In most cases the flue
damper should also be removed to allow
passage of the liner.
3) In most cases opening the existing spark
screens fully should give enough room for
the insert installation. If it does not, remove
and store.
When referencing installation or connec-
tion to masonry fireplaces or chimneys, the
masonry construction must or shall be code
complying.
INSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE
The insert must be installed as per the require-
ments of your local inspection authority. Three
methods of flue connection are acceptable in
most areas, these include:
1) Positive flue connection, where a large
blocking plate and a short connector pipe
is used.
2) Direct flue connection, where a smaller
blocking plate and a connector pipe to the
first flue liner tile is used.
3) Full flue liner, where a stainless steel rigid
orflexible linerpipeisroutedfrom theinsert
outlet collar to the top of the chimney.
Hampton highly recommends the use of a full
liner as the safest installation and provides the
mostoptimumperformance. Yourretailershould
be able to help you decide which system would
be the best for your application.
In Canada this fireplace insert must be
installed with a continuous chimney liner
of 5.5" or 6" diameter extending from the
fireplace insert to the top of the chimney.
The chimney liner must conform to the
Class 3 requirements of CAN/ULC-S635
or CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for Lining
Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.
4) If the floor of your fireplace is below the
level of the fireplace opening, adjust the
insert's levelling bolts to accommodate the
difference. When additional shimming is
required, use non-combustible masonry or
steel shims.
5) Measureapproximatelythealignmentofthe
fluelinerwiththepositionofthesmokeoutlet
holeontheinserttocheckforpossibleoffset.
If an offset is required, use the appropriate
offset adaptor in your installation.
6) Once the above items have been checked,
slide your insert into position after first po-
sitioning and securing the flue liner to the
offset adaptor.
Attach the rod to the adaptor and slide the
adaptor onto the unit as the unit is slid into
position. Ensure a positive connection.
Secure the adaptor to the unit by using 2
bolts, flat washers, lock washers and one
screw in the front.
Re-install raincap at completion of installa-
tion.

DRAFT CONTROL
Beforeestablishing your first fire, it isimportant
that you fully understand the operation of draft
control. The draft control rod is on the left side
of the Insert and it controls the intensity of the
fire by increasing or decreasing the amount
of air allowed into the firebox. To increase the
draft, slide the rod to the left and to decrease
the draft, slide the rod to the right.
1) If the two air tubes are installed continue
on to Step 2), if not, follow the instructions
below.Installtheairtubeintotheholesinthe
side channels. The notch goes on the right
hand side with the air holes facing toward
the door. Slide the tube into the left hand
side,asfaraspossibleandthenbringitback
into the hole on the right hand side until it
locks into position. If the tube will not slide
in easily simply use a pair of vise grips or
pliers and tap it into place with a hammer.A
tighter fit will ensure the tube will not move
when the unit is burning.
2) Slide the left baffle brick over the front air
tube and then slide it back over the rear air
tube.
3) Tilt the left baffle brick up on top of the side
channel and it will leave enough room to
position the right baffle brick in the same
manner as Step 1) above. Then reposition
the left baffle brick flat on the air tube.
4) Important: push both baffle bricks so
they are tight against the side walls and
to the back.
Note: When getting the chimney cleaned,
remove the baffle bricks for access
to the flue, then replace them when
cleaning is completed.
Aswellasaprimaryandglasswashairsystem,
the unit has a full secondary draft system that
allowsairtothe induction ports at the top of the
firebox, just below the flue baffle.

FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and in-
spected, you are ready for your first fire.
1) Open draft control fully.
2) Openfireboxdoorandbuildasmallfireusing
paper and dry kindling, wait a few minutes
foragoodupdraft inthe fluetoestablishthe
fire. Leaving the door slightly open will help
your fire start more rapidly.
CAUTION:Neverleaveunitunattended

if door is left open for too long.
3) With the draft still in the fully open position,
addtwo or three seasoned logs toyour fire.
Form a trench in the ash bed to allow air to
reach the rear of the firebox prior to closing
the door.
4) After about 15 to 20 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,
you may adjust the draft control to a low
settingtooperatetheunitinitsmostefficient
mode.
6) During the first couple of hours, keep the
combustion rate at a moderate level and
avoid a large fire until the paint is cured.
Only then can you operate the insert at its
maximum setting, and only after the metal
has been warmed.
7) For the first few hours, the insert will give
off an odour from the paint. This is to be
expected as the high temperature paint
becomesseasoned.Windowsand/ordoors
should be left open to provide adequate
ventilation while this temporary condition
exists. Burning the insert at a very high
temperaturethefirstfewtimesmaydamage
the paint. Burn fires at a moderate level the

closed position (pushed in). The fully closed
position is the low burn setting.
The fan must not be turned on until a fire has
been burning for at least 30 minutes.Also note
it is recommended that the fan be turned off
before each fuel loading and again wait for 30
minutes before the fan is turned on again. This
is too allow the stove to reach it's optimum
temperature.

WARNING: Things to remember in
case of chimney fire:
1) Close draft control
2) Call the Fire Department
Ways to Prevent and
Keep Unit Free of Creosote
1) Burn insert with draft control wide open for
about 15 minutes every morning during
burningseason. Thishelpstopreventcreo-
sote deposits within the heating system.
2) Burn insert with draft control wide open for
about 10 - 15 minutes every time you add
freshwood.Thisallowsthewoodtoachieve
the charcoal stage faster and burns up any
wood vapors which might otherwise be
deposited within the system.
3) Onlyburnseasonedwood! Avoidburning
wet or green wood. Seasoned wood has
been dried at least one year.
4) A small hot fire is preferable to a large
smoulderingone that can deposit creosote
within the system.
5) Check the chimney at least twice a month
during the burning season for creosote
build-up.
6) Have chimney system and unit cleaned by
competent chimney sweeps twice a year
duringthefirstyearofuseandatleastonce
a year thereafter or when needed.
