Hampton Direct H300 User Manual

Hampton H300 Cast Freestanding Woodstove

7

1)  Please read this entire manual before you 

install and use your new woodstove. Failure 
to follow instructions may result in property 
damage, bodily injury or even death. Be 
aware that local Codes and Regulations 
may override some items in this manual. 
Check with your local inspector.

2)  Select a position for your Hampton Stove. 

Consult the minimum clearance chart for 
your model and set the stove in place. For 
close clearance installation use listed double 
wall connector systems.

3)  To insure vertical alignment, suspend a 

plumb bob from the ceiling over the exact 
center of your stove fl ue and mark a spot 
on the ceiling to indicate the center of the 
chimney.

4)  Check that the area above the ceiling is 

clear for cutting. Re-confi rm the clearance 
from the stove to combustibles to insure that 
they are within the prescribed limits.

5)  This woodstove must be connected to a 

UL 103 HT (ULC S629) listed chimney or 
a code approved masonry chimney with a 
fl ue liner.

6)  Install chimney according to chimney manu-

facturers instructions. The performance of 
your woodstove is governed to a very large 
part by the chimney system. Too short a 
chimney can cause diffi cult start-up, dirty 
glass, backsmoking when door is open, and 

even reduced heat output. Too tall a chimney 
may prompt excessive draft which can result 
in very short burn times and excessive heat 
output. The use of an inexpensive fl ue pipe 
damper may be helpful in reducing excessive 
draft.

 CAUTION: The chimney should be the same 

size as the 6" (152mm) fl ue outlet on the 
stove. The chimney must be listed as suit-
able for use with solid fuels. For other types 
of chimneys check with your local building 
code offi cials. Do not confuse a chimney 
with a type “B” Venting System used for gas 
appliances as suitable for a wood burning 
appliance (refer to the Mobile Home instal-
lations section).

7)  Mark the location of the legs on the fl oor, 

then move the stove aside and mark the 
position of the fl oor protector.

8)  The fl oor protector must be of non-combus-

tible material and must extend 18" (457mm) 
in front of the door opening and 6" (152mm)  
to the sides and rear of the unit.  Some areas 
may require a larger size fl oor protector. 

 

Refer to the Mobile Home Installation sec-
tion for outside air installation instructions 
and see your local inspector.

9)  When the fl oor protection is complete, posi-

tion the stove with the fl ue collar centered 
under the installed chimney.

10) In seismically active areas, we recommend 

that your unit is secured to the fl oor by using 
the bolt down holes inside the legs (the same 
ones used in Mobile Home installations).

11) For residential installations using 6" 

(152mm) "C" Vent (single wall) the chimney 
connector must be at least 24 gauge steel. 
Do not use galvanized pipe (refer to the 
Mobile Home installation section).

12) Do not connect this unit to a chimney 

13) A chimney connector cannot pass through 

an attic or roof space, closet or similar 
concealed space, or a fl oor, ceiling, wall 
or partition of combustible construction. 
In Canada, if passage through a wall, or 
partition of combustible construction is 
desired, the installation shall conform to 
CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-
Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.

14) Your Hampton Woodstove is not to be con-

nected to any air distribution duct.

Adding the blower will increase the area heated by the stove, it can move warm air beyond the room where the stove 
is installed (refer to the Optional Blower / Fan Installation section).

The side load door allows for putting in larger logs into the fi re easier ( refer to Side Load Door section).

Helps combustion in small or poorly ventilated houses. Installation instructions come with adaptor.

Add to the traditional look of the stove and double as a warming area for your cookstove creations.
