CHIMNEY
SPECIFICATIONS
Before installing, check and clean your chimney
system thoroughly. If in doubt about its condi-
tion, seek professional advice. Your Hampton
Insert is designed for installation into a masonry
replace that is constructed in accordance with
the requirements of "The Standard for Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Ap-
pliance", N.F.P.A. 211, the National Building
Code of Canada, or the applicable local code
requirements.
The appliance, when installed, must be electri-
cally grounded in accordance with local codes or,
in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code,ANSI/NFPA70, or the Canadian
Electrical code, CSA C22.1.
Hampton Inserts are designed to use either a
5.5" (140mm) or 6" (152mm) ue.
This insert must be connected to a code-ap-
proved masonry chimney or listed factory-built
replace chimney with a direct ue connector
into the rst chimney liner section. The chimney
size should not be less than or more than three
times greater than the cross-sectional area of
the ue collar.
Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built
Fireplaces.
1) The insert must be tested and meet the
requirements of UL 1482 (U.S.) and or ULC
S628 (Canada) when tested in a masonry
replace built per ULC S628.
2) The factory-built replace must be listed per
UL 127 or ULC S610.
3) Clearances obtained from the masonry re-
place tests are also relevant for installation
in factory-built replaces.
4) Installation must include a full height listed
chimney liner type HT requirements (2100
degree F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC
S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely
attached to the insert ue collar and the
chimney top.
5) Means must be provided to prevent room
air passage to the chimney cavity of the
replace. This may be accomplished by
sealing the damper area around the chimney
liner, or sealing the replace front.
Hampton Inserts are constructed with the high-
est quality materials and assembled under strict
quality control procedures that ensure years of
trouble free and reliable performance.
It is important that you read this manual thor-
oughly and fully understand the installation and
operating procedures. Failure to follow instruc-
tions may result in property damage, bodily injury
or even death. The more you understand the way
your Hampton Insert operates, the more enjoy-
ment you will experience from knowing that your
unit is operating at peak performance.
BEFORE INSTALLING
YOUR INSERT
1) Read all instructions before installing and
using your replace insert. Install and use
only in accordance with manufacturer’s
installation and operating instructions.
2) Check your local building codes - Build-
ing 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 replace insert.
4) Your replace insert is heavy and requires
two or more people to move it safely. The
insert and surrounding structure can be
badly damaged by mishandling.
5) If your existing 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 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 replace.
7) Do not connect the insert to a chimney
ue servicing another appliance or an air
distribution duct.
6) Alteration of the replace in any manner is
not permitted with the following exceptions;
a. external trim pieces which do not affect
the operation of the replace may be
removed providing they can be stored on
or within the replace for re-assembly if
the insert is removed.
b. the chimney damper may be removed to
install the chimney liner.
7) Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel re-
place liner or metal heat circulator) shall not
be blocked.
8) Means must be provided for removal of the
insert to clean the chimney ue.
9) Inserts that project in front of the replace
must be supplied with appropriate supporting
means.
10) Installer must mechanically attach the sup-
plied label to the inside of the rebox of the
replace into which the insert is installed.

HOW TO DETERMINE IF ALTERNATE
FLOOR PROTECTION MATERIALS ARE ACCEPTABLE
The specied oor 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 specication
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
specied R of 0.893. Since proposed system
R is greater than required, the system is
acceptable.

Floor Protection
Please check to ensure that your oor protection and hearth will meet the standards for clear-
ance to combustibles. Your hearth extension must be made from a non-combustible material.
Thermal oor protection is not required if the unit is
raised 3.5" minimum (measured from the bottom of
the stove). However, standard ember oor protection
is required. It will need to be a non-combustible mate-
rial that covers 16" (406 mm) in the US and 18" (450
mm) in Canada to the front of the unit and 8" (200
mm) to the sides.
If the unit is not raised, thermal oor protection required
is 18" (450 mm) in the US and Canada.

NOTE: You will be required to purchase either the standard or offset
6" diameter (152mm) ue adaptor that is best suited for the specic
installation.
List of Tools needed;
- Pull Rod (included with insert)
- 1/2” socket / ratchet
- 3/8 open face wrench
4) Install ex liner into existing chimney as per liner manufacturer’s
specications. See diagram 1.
5) Install the required ue adaptor onto the end of the ex liner. Secure
the adaptor using 3 screws - 1 on the front, left and right side as
shown in diagram 2.
Alignment of the ue adaptor can be critical during the install, it is
recommended that the ex liner be left as compressed as possible.
Before inserting the unit the adaptor should hang, when level, slightly
above the required height.
Secure adaptor using 3 screws - 1 in the front
and 1 each on the left and right side.

Your insert is very heavy and will require two or three people to
move it into position.
1) Remove the Door to make the insert easier to handle.
To remove the Door, open fully and release the push pin at the top
of the door and lift out from the bottom.
3) Lift the unit up onto the Hearth and slide into the replace opening.
Be sure to leave the unit out at least 3 to 4 inches in order to make
the necessary ue connections and to install the fan and faceplate.
Be sure to protect your hearth extension during the installation,
ie. with a heavy blanket.

INSTALLING YOUR INSERT
STOP! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
CAST COMPONENTS ARE VERY FRAGILE.
USE EXTREME CARE WHEN HANDLING.
2) NOTE: For Masonry installation make sure that the rebox is level
with the hearth using non-combustible materials and no more than
1/2 to 1 inch of the leveling bolt.

6) Install the unit by rst setting the rear of the unit into the replace. See
diagram 3. Ensure that the unit is centered in the existing replace
and lined up with the ue adaptor.
7) Slide the unit back until the ue 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 replace. 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 ue adaptor as shown in
diagram 4. While sliding the unit into place pull on the rod to ensure
that the ue 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 t and connec-
tion of the ue adaptor to the insert, it is essential that the two bolts,
at 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 replace. 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 replace.

2) Direct Flue
Connection
with Cleanout
3a) Full Flue Liner
(No Cleanout
Required)
Note: A clean-out door is sometimes
required, by your inspector, to be
installed when either the Positive ue
connection or Direct ue connection
method is used.
The use of one of the connection methods listed
on this page not only increases the safety of your
insert by directing the hot gases up the ue, but
will also help increase the unit's efciency and
decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected ue 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, difcult start-ups,
smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
1) When installed in a factory built replace, a
full stainless steel rigid or exible ue liner
is mandatory, for both safety and perform-
ance purposes. When a ue 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, difcult start-ups, smoking out the door,
and dirty glass.
2) In order to position the ue liner, the exist-
ing rain cap must be removed from your
chimney system. In most cases the ue
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 replaces 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 ue connection are acceptable in
most areas, these include:
1) Positive ue connection, where a large
blocking plate and a short connector pipe
is used.
2) Direct ue connection, where a smaller
blocking plate and a connector pipe to the
rst ue liner tile is used.
3) Full ue liner, where a stainless steel rigid
or exible liner pipe is routed from the insert
outlet collar to the top of the chimney.
Hampton highly recommends the use of a full
liner as the safest installation and provides the
most optimum performance. Your retailer should
be able to help you decide which system would
be the best for your application.
In Canada this replace insert must be
installed with a continuous chimney liner
of 5.5" or 6" diameter extending from the
replace 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 oor of your replace is below the
level of the replace opening, adjust the
insert's levelling bolts to accommodate the
difference. When additional shimming is
required, use non-combustible masonry or
steel shims.
5) Measure approximately the alignment of the
ue liner with the position of the smoke outlet
hole on the insert to check for possible offset.
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 rst po-
sitioning and securing the ue 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, at washers, lock washers and one
screw in the front.
Re-install raincap at completion of installa-
tion.
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance
up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures
in the appliance and may cause damage.An uncon-
trollable burn or excessive temperature indicates
excessive draft. Inadequate draft may cause back
pufng into the room and plugging of the chimney.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak
smoke into the room through appliance and chim-
ney connector joints. Ensure the heater is installed
in areas that are not too close to neighbors or in
valleys that would cause unhealthy air quality or
nuisance conditions.

BRICK FLUE BAFFLE &
SECONDARY AIR TUBE
INSTALLATION
The ue bafe system located in the upper area
of the rebox is removable to make cleaning
your chimney system easier. The brick bafes
must be installed prior to your rst re. Smoke
spillage and draft problems may occur if the
bafes are improperly positioned. Check the
position of the brick bafes on a regular basis as
they can be dislodged if too much fuel is forced
into the rebox.
FIREBRICK ASSEMBLY
Firebrick is included to extend the life of your
insert and radiate heat more evenly. Check to
see that all rebricks are in their correct posi-
tions and have not become misaligned during
shipping.

DRAFT CONTROL
Before establishing your rst re, it is important
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
re by increasing or decreasing the amount
of air allowed into the rebox. 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. Install the air tube into the holes in the
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, as far as possible and then bring it back
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 t will ensure the tube will not move
when the unit is burning.
2) Slide the left bafe brick over the front air
tube and then slide it back over the rear air
tube.
3) Tilt the left bafe brick up on top of the side
channel and it will leave enough room to
position the right bafe brick in the same
manner as Step 1) above. Then reposition
the left bafe brick at on the air tube.
4) Important: push both bafe bricks so
they are tight against the side walls and
to the back.
Note: When getting the chimney cleaned,
remove the bafe bricks for access
to the ue, then replace them when
cleaning is completed.
As well as a primary and glass wash air system,
the unit has a full secondary draft system that
allows air to the induction ports at the top of the
rebox, just below the ue bafe.
WARNING: To build a re in ignorance or to
disregard the information contained in this
section can cause serious permanent dam-
age to the unit and void your warranty.

SEASONED WOOD
Whether you burn wood in a replace, stove or insert, good quality rewood is the key to convenience, efciency and safety. Wet wood and pieces that are
not the right size and shape for your wood burner can be frustrating, burn inefciently and deposit creosote that can fuel a dangerous chimney re. Good
planning, seasoning and storage of the rewood supply are essential to successful wood burning.
• Stack the wood in separate rows in an open location where the summer sun can warm it and breezes can carry away the moisture. Do not stack
unseasoned wood tightly in an unvented storage area.
• Do not allow rewood to lie on the ground for more than a couple of days before stacking. Mould and rot can set in quickly.
• Stack the wood up off the ground on poles, lumber rails or pallets.
• The top of the pile can be covered to keep off rain, but do not cover the sides.
Softer woods like pine, spruce and poplar/aspen that is cut, split and stacked properly in the early spring maybe be ready for burning in the fall. Extremely
hard woods like oak and maple, and large pieces of rewood, may take a minimum of a full year to dry enough. Drying may also take longer in damp climates
There are a few ways to tell if wood is dry enough to burn efciently. Use as many indicators as possible to judge the dryness of the rewood your are con-
sidering. Here are ways to judge rewood moisture.
• Using a moisture meter, select the species of fuel and then penetrate the pins into a split piece. Ideal moisture and seasoned rewood should be
less than 20% moisture content.
• Checks or cracks in the end grain can be an indication of dryness, but may not be a reliable indicator. Some wet wood has checks and some dry
wood has no checks.
• The wood tends to darken from white or cream colour to grey or yellow as it dries.
• Two dry pieces banged together sound hollow; wet pieces sound solid and dull.
• Dry wood weighs much less than wet wood.
• Split a piece of wood. If the exposed surface feels damp, the wood is too wet to burn.

operating instructions
FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and in-
spected, you are ready for your rst re.
1) Open draft control fully.
2) Open rebox door and build a small re using
paper and dry kindling, wait a few minutes
for a good updraft in the ue to establish the
re. Leaving the door slightly open will help
your re start more rapidly.
CAUTION: Never leave unit unattended
if door is left open. This procedure is for
re start-up only, as unit may over-heat
if door is left open for too long.
3) With the draft still in the fully open position,
add two or three seasoned logs to your re.
Form a trench in the ash bed to allow air to
reach the rear of the rebox 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 re at a
moderate level.
WARNING: Never build a roaring re 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
setting to operate the unit in its most efcient
mode.
6) During the rst couple of hours, keep the
combustion rate at a moderate level and
avoid a large re 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 rst few hours, the insert 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 insert at a very high
temperature the rst few times may damage
the paint. Burn res at a moderate level the
rst few days.
8) Do not place anything on the insert top
during the curing process. This may result
in damage to your paint nish.
9) During the rst few hours it may be more dif-
cult to start the re. As you dry out your re
brick and your masonry ue (if applicable),
your draft will increase.
10) For those units installed at higher elevations
or into sub-standard masonry replaces,
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 re has been re-established. This will
minimize any smoking.
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
sufcient for this purpose.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit starts
to glow you are overring. 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 re.
Once all moisture has been removed, the
draft control may be adjusted to maintain
the re.
15) If you have been burning your insert on a
low draft, use caution when opening the
door. After opening the damper, open the
door a crack, and allow the re to adjust
before fully opening the door.
16) The controls of your unit should not be
altered to increase ring for any reason.
FAN OPERATION
The fan is to be operated only with the draft
control rod pulled out at least 1/2" from the
fully closed position. The fan is not to be
operated when the draft control rod is in the
closed position (pushed in). The fully closed
position is the low burn setting.
The fan must not be turned on until a re 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.
To operate fan automatically, push switch on the
right side of fan housing to "Auto" and second
switch, on the left to either "High" or "Low" for
fan speed. The automatic temperature sen-
sor will engage the blower when the unit is at
temperature and will shut off the blower once
the re has gone out and the unit has cooled to
below a useful heat output range.
Fan Wiring Diagram
To manually operate the fan system, push the
switch on the left to "Man" and switch on the
right to either "high" or "Low". This will bypass
the sensing device and allow full control of the
fan. Switching from "Auto" to "Manual" or "High"
to "Low" may be done at any time.

and premature steel corrosion. Overring will
void your warranty.
8) Do not permit creosote or soot buildup in the
chimney system. Check and clean chimney at
regular intervals.
9) Your Hampton Insert can be very hot. You
may be seriously burned if you touch the insert
while it is operating. Warn children of the burn
hazard. Keep furniture and clothing away.
10) The insert consumes air while operating,
provide adequate ventilation with an air duct
or open a window while the insert is in use.
11) Do not use grates, irons or other methods for
supporting fuel. Burn directly on the bricks.
12) Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15 seconds
prior to slowly opening the door when refuelling
the re.
13) Do not connect your unit to any air distribution
duct.
14) Your insert should burn dry, standard rewood
only. The use of “mill ends” is discouraged as
this fuel can easily overheat your insert. Evi-
dence of excessive overheating will void your
warranty. As well, a large portion of sawmill
waste is chemically treated lumber, which is
illegal to burn in many areas. Chemically treated
re logs also must not be burned in your insert.
15) Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet from
your unit.
16) Do not burn salt drift wood as it will corrode
your unit and void the warranty.
17) Do not strike or slam the glass door shut as
this may cause the glass to break.
18) Do not operate the unit if the glass is broken or
missing. Do not operate the unit if the gasket-
ing is worn out and not sealing the door or the
glass.
It is very important to carefully maintain your insert,
including burning seasoned wood and maintain-
ing a clean stove and chimney system. Have the
chimney cleaned before the burning season and as
necessary during the season, as creosote deposits
may build up rapidly. Moving parts of your insert
require no lubrication.
ASH DISPOSAL
During constant use, ashes should be removed
every few days. Please take care to prevent the
build-up of ash around the start-up air housing
located inside the rebox, under the loading
door lip.
DO NOT ALLOW ASHES TO BUILD UP TO
THE LOADING DOORS.
Only remove ashes when the re has died down.
Even then, expect to nd a few hot embers.
Always leave 1 to 2 inches of ash in the bottom
of the rebox. This helps in easier starting and
a more uniform burn of your re.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with
a tight tting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible oor or
on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending nal disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled. Other waste should not be placed in
the ash container.
SOME SAFETY
GUIDELINES
1) Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fu-
els, kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or similar
liquids or chemicals to start or ‘freshen up’ a
re in your insert. Keep all such liquids well
away from the heater while it is in use.
2) Never use alternate fuels such as charcoal
that have the possibility of generating carbon
monoxide.
3) Keep the door closed during operation and
maintain all seals in good condition.
4) Do not burn large quantities of paper in your
insert.
5) Do not burn garbage or ammable uids.
6) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
7) Do not overre your insert. Attempts
to achieve heat output rates that exceed
heater design specications can result in
permanent damage to the heater. If the
insert or its ue bafe begin to glow, you are
overring. Stop adding fuel and close the
draft control. Overring can cause extensive
damage to your stove including warpage
CREOSOTE
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and
other organic vapors, which form creosote when
combined with moisture. The creosote vapors
condense in the relatively cool chimney ue of a
slow-burning re. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited, this
creosote can make an extremely hot re.
Removal for Cleaning etc.
Removal of your insert for cleaning purposes is
usually not required if a proper installation has been
done. In the event that removal is required, be sure
not to damage any parts needed for re-installation.
In most cases removal and replacement of the
bafe system should allow full access for cleaning.
WARNING: Things to remember in case
of chimney re:
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 burn-
ing season. This helps to prevent creosote
deposits within the heating system.
2) Burn insert with draft control wide open for about
10 - 15 minutes every time you add fresh wood.
This allows the wood to achieve the charcoal
stage faster and burns up any wood vapors
which might otherwise be deposited within the
system.
3) Only burn seasoned wood! Avoid burning
wet or green wood. Seasoned wood has been
dried at least one year.
4) A small hot re is preferable to a large smoul-
dering one that can deposit creosote within the
system.
5) Check the chimney at least twice a month dur-
ing the burning season for creosote build-up.
6) Have chimney system and unit cleaned by
competent chimney sweeps twice a year during
the rst year of use and at least once a year
thereafter or when needed.
