It is very important to carefully maintain your  
stove, including burning seasoned wood and 
maintaining 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 stove require no lubrication.

Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or 
covered with a tarp, plastic, tar paper, sheets 
of scrap plywood, etc., as uncovered wood can 
absorb water from rain or snow, delaying the 
seasoning process.

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and 
other organic vapours, which when combined 
with moisture, form creosote. The creosote va-
pours condense in the relatively cool chimney 
fl ue of a slow burning fi re. As a result, creosote 
residue accumulates on the fl ue lining.  When 
ignited, this creosote can result in an extremely 
hot fi re.

Your Hampton stove is supplied with 5 mm 
Neoceram ceramic glass (Part #940-345) that 
will withstand the highest heat that your unit will 
produce.  In the event that you break your glass 
by impact, purchase your replacement from an 
authorized Hampton dealer only, and follow our 
step-by-step Glass Installation/Replacement 
instructions (refer to previous section).

It will be necessary to clean carbon and fl y ash 
off of the glass at times. If carbon and fl y ash 
remain on the glass for an extended period of 
time, the glass could eventually become etched 
and cloudy.

1)  Allow the stove to cool down completely 

before cleaning the glass, do not clean the 
glass when it is hot. 

2)  Use cleaners specifi cally designed for this 

glass cleaning. Do not use abrasive clean-
ers.

3)  Ensure the glass is dry before burning your 

stove.

1)  Burn stove with the draft control wide open 

for about 10-15 minutes every morning 
during burning season.

2)  Burn stove with draft control wide open 

for about 10 - 15 minutes every time you 
apply fresh wood. This allows the wood to 
achieve the charcoal stage faster and burns 
up any unburned gas vapours 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 fi re is preferable to a large 

smouldering one that can deposit creosote 
within the system.

5)  The chimney and chimney connector should 

be inspected at least once every two months 
during the heating season to determine if a 
creosote buildup has occurred.

6)  Have chimney system and unit cleaned
