1)  Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern 

fuels, kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or 
similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fi re 
in your heater. Keep all such liquids well 
away from the heater while it is in use.

2)  Keep the door closed during operation and 

maintain all seals in good condition.

3)  Do not burn any quantities of paper, gar-

bage, and never burn fl ammable fl uids such 
as gasoline, naptha or engine oil in your 
stove.

4)  If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke 

spillage as this may set off a false alarm.

5)  Do not overfi re heater. If the chimney con-

nector, fl ue baffl e or the stove top begin to 
glow, you are overfi ring. Stop adding fuel and 
close the draft control.  Overfi ring can cause 
extensive damage to your stove including 
warpage and premature steel corrosion. 
Overfi ring will void your warranty.

6)  Do not permit creosote or soot build-up 

in the chimney system. Check and clean 
chimney at regular intervals. Failure to do 
so can result in a serious chimney fi re.

7)  Your Hampton stove can be very hot. You 

may be seriously burned if you touch the 
stove while it is operating, keep children, 
clothing and furniture away.  Warn children 
of the burn hazard.

8)  The stove consumes air while operating, 

provide adequate ventilation with an air 
duct or open a window while the stove is in 
use.

9)  Do not connect this unit to a chimney fl ue 

serving another appliance.

10) Do not use grates or andirons or other 

methods for supporting fuel. Burn directly 
on the bricks.

11) Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15 

seconds prior to slowly opening the door 
when refuelling the fi re.

12) Do not connect your unit to any air distribu-

tion duct.

13) Your woodstove should burn dry, standard 

fi rewood only.  The use of cut lumber, ply-
wood, “mill ends”, etc. is not allowed as this 
fuel can easily  overheat your woodstove.  
Evidence 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.  Salt 
drift wood and chemically treated fi re logs 
also must not be burned in your wood-
stoves.

14) Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet 

from your unit. Do not place wood, paper, 
furniture, drapes or other combustibles near 
the appliance.

16) Do not operate with broken glass.

Both the primary and air wash drafts are control-
led by the control handle located on the right side 
of the unit (when facing the unit). To increase your 
draft - push lever to the back, and to decrease - 
pull lever to the front.  All units have a secondary 
draft system that continually allows combustion 
air to the induction ports at the bottom of the 
fi rebox, just below the rear cover.
