SAFETY GUIDELINES
AND WARNINGS
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.
15) WARNING: Do not operate without
the Ash Plug properly seated.
16) Do not operate with broken glass.

led by the control handle located on the right side

or to disregard the information con-
tained in this section can cause serious
permanent damage to the unit and void
