Introduction

This manual is designed for the home owner in conjunction with the technical manual.

Rating Label Location:

The rating label is located on the inside of the rear hopper access cover.

Fuel Quality:

Fuel quality is important, please read the following:

Your Hampton pellet stove has been designed to burn ¼” (6mm) dia wood pellets and other organic pellet fuels (corn, wheat, barley). DO NOT use this appliance as an incinerator. DO NOT use unsuitable and non recommended fuels, including liquid fuels as this will void any warranties stated in this manual.

The performance of your pellet stove is greatly affected by the type and quality of fuel being burned. As the heat output of various quality fuels differs, so will the performance and heat output of the pellet stove.

AUTION: It is important to select and use only fuel that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities such as high salt content. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty. The Pellet Fuel Industries (P.F.I.) has established standards for wood pellet manufacturers. We recommend the use of pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for a recommended pellet type.

ASH: The ash content of the fuel and operation of your stove will directly determine the frequency of cleaning. The use of high ash fuels may result in the stove needing to be cleaned daily. A low ash fuel may allow longer intervals between cleaning.

CLINKERING: [clinkers are silica (sand) or other impurities in the fuel that will form a hard mass during the burning process]. This hard mass will block the air flow through the Burn Pot Liner and affect the performance of the stove. Any fuel, even approved types, may clinker. Check the Burn-Pot Liner daily to ensure that the holes are not blocked with clinkers. If they become blocked, remove the liner (when the unit is cold) and clean/scrape the clinkers out. Clean the holes with a small pointed object if required. Refer to the section Routine Cleaning and Maintenance.

FUEL FEED RATES: Due to different fuel densities and sizes, fuel feed rates may vary. This may require an adjustment to the slider damper setting or to the auger feed trim setting. Since Regency Fireplace Products Ltd. has no control over the quality of fuel that you use, we assume no liability for your choice in fuels.

FILLING FUEL HOPPER: Open lid on top of unit, check hopper for foreign objects, empty the bag into the hopper, and ensure hopper lid closes completely. Store fuels in a dry location at least 36” (1 m) away from the pellet stove, and clear of the space required for charging and ash removal.

WARNING: Parts of the appliance, especially the external surfaces, will be hot to touch when in operation so use due care.

FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in the heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.

Safety Warnings & Recommendations

Please read this entire Owner’s Manual before installing or operating your Hampton Pellet Stove. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or even death. Any unauthorized modification of the appliance or use of replacement parts not recommended by the manufacturer is prohibited. All national and local regulations and shall be complied with when operating this appliance.

Caution: Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.

Warning: Never place wood, paper, furniture, drapes or other combustible materials within 48” (122cm) of the front of the unit, 12” (30.5cm) from each side, and 4” (10cm) from the back of the unit. Do not let children or pets touch it when it is hot.
To prevent the possibility of a fire, ensure that the appliance is properly installed by adhering to the installation instructions. An Hampton dealer will be happy to assist you in obtaining information with regards to your local building codes and installation restrictions.

FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SMOKE DETECTION: All homes with a pellet burning stove should have at least one fire extinguisher in a central location known to all in the household. Smoke detectors should be installed and maintained in the room containing the stove. If it sounds the alarm, correct the cause but do not deactivate. You may choose to relocate the smoke detection devise within the room; DO NOT REMOVE THE SMOKE DETECTOR FROM THE ROOM.

CHIMNEY OR RUN AWAY FIRE (SOOT/CREOSOTE): Call local fire department (or dial 911). Close the draft fully. Extinguish the fire in the burn pot liner with a cup of water and close the door. Examine the flue pipes, chimney, attic, and roof of the house, to see if any part has become hot enough to catch fire. If necessary, spray with fire extinguisher or water from the garden hose. IMPORTANT: Do not operate the stove again until you are certain the chimney and its lining have not been damaged. Check daily for creosote build-up until experience shows how often you need to clean to be safe.

OPERATION: The door and ash drawer must be kept closed when the unit is in operation to prevent fume spillage and for proper and safe operation of the pellet stove. Also ensure all gaskets on the door are checked and replaced when necessary. Unit hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.

CAUTION: When operating during adverse weather, if the unit exhibits dramatic changes in combustion stop using the unit immediately.

FUEL: This stove is designed and approved to only burn wood pellets of any quality, corn, wheat, barley, and grass. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and may void the warranty. Check with your dealer for fuel recommendations. THE USE OF CORDWOOD IS PROHIBITED BY LAW. Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids such as gasoline, naptha or engine oil. SOOT/CREOSOTE: Operation of the stove with insufficient combustion air will result in the formation of soot/creosote which will collect on the glass, the heat exchanger, the exhaust vent system, and may stain the outside of the house. Frequently check your stove and and adjust the combustion air trim and/ or if necessary adjust the slider/damper as needed to ensure proper combustion. See: “Slider/Damper Setting”.

CLEANING: There will be some build up of fly ash and small amounts of creosote in the exhaust. This will vary due to the ash content of the fuel used and the operation of the stove. It is advisable to inspect and clean the exhaust vent semi-annually or every two tons of pellets. The appliance, flue gas connector and the chimney flue require regular cleaning. Check them for blockage prior to re-lighting after a prolonged shut down period. If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated in the flue (3mm or more) it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

ASHES: Disposed ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be on a non-combustible surface, well away from all combustible materials pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispensed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

This wood heater needs periodic inspection and repair for proper operation. Consult the owner’s manual for further information. It is against federal regulations to operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with the operating instructions in the owner’s manual. U.S.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Certified to comply with 2020 particulate emission standards. Under specific test conditions this heater has been shown to have a particulate emission level of 1.9 g/ hr.

Certified for use in Canda & USA. Refer to Intertek’s Directory of Building Products for detailed information

ELECTRICAL: The use of a surge protected power bar is highly recommended. The unit must be grounded. The grounded electrical cord should be connected to a standard 110-120 volts (4.2 Amps), 60 hertz electrical outlet and also must be accessible. If this power cord should become damaged, a replacement power cord must be purchased from the manufacturer or a qualified Hampton dealer. Be careful that the electrical cord is not trapped under the appliance and that it is clear of any hot surfaces or sharp edges. This unit’s maximum power requirement is 504 watts. When installing the stove in a mobile home, it must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the home and bolted to the floor.

GLASS: Do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door. Do not attempt to operate the stove with broken glass. The stove uses ceramic glass. Replacement glass must be purchased from an Hampton dealer. Do not attempt to open the door and clean the glass while the unit is in operation or if glass is hot. To clean the glass, use a soft cotton cloth and mild window cleaner, gas or wood stove glass cleaner, or take a damp paper towel and dip into the fly ash. This is a very mild abrasive and will not damage the glass. Do not use polishing compounds or abrasive cleaners.

KEEP ASH PAN FREE OF RAW FUEL. DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR NEW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN. A fire in the ash pan may occur.

INSTALLATION: Contact your local building or fire official to obtain a permit and any information on installation restrictions and inspection requirements for your area. Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of your home when passing a vent through walls, ceilings, or roofs, and all construction meets local building codes. It is recommended that the unit be secured into its position in order to avoid any displacement. This appliance must be installed on a floor with an adequate load bearing capacity, if existing construction doesn’t meet load capacity, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) must be taken to achieve it.

DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.

DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

FRESH AIR: This unit uses large quantities of air for combustion; outside Fresh Air connection is strongly recommended. Fresh Air must be connected to all units installed in Mobile and “Air Tight Homes” (R2000) or where required by local codes.

Consider all large air moving devices or any other appliance which may compete for fresh air when installing the unit and provide room air accordingly. NOTE: Extractor fans when operating in the same room or space as the appliance may cause problems. Limited air for combustion may result in poor performance, smoking and other side effects of poor combustion.

The stove’s exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slightly positive chimney pressure. It is very important to ensure that the exhaust system be sealed and airtight. The ash pan and viewing door must be locked securely for proper and safe operation of the pellet stove.

Do not burn with insufficient combustion air. A periodic check is recommended to ensure proper combustion air is admitted to the combustion chamber. Setting the proper combustion air is achieved by adjusting the slider damper located on the left side of the stove.

Soot or creosote may accumulate when the stove is operated under incorrect conditions such as a rich burn (black tipped, lazy orange flames).

If you have any questions with regards to your stove or the above-mentioned information, please feel free to contact your local dealer for further clarification and comments.

DO NOT turn unit off during start-up or unplug unit while operating; this may lead to smoke escaping from the stove.

Slider/Damper Set-Up:

This is used to regulate the airflow through the pellet stove and has been set at the factory.

Operating Instructions

This unit is designed to operate within a negative pressure range that may only be adjusted by a qualified technician. This can be measured using a Magnahelic pressure gauge once the unit has been running on heat level 5 setting after one hour of burn time. This adjustment is necessary for varying venting configurations. The reading can be taken from the ⅛” hole located on the right side of the Ash Box.

The Combustion Trim, Feed Trim and Fuel Type Functions can be used to compensate for varying fuel qualities. Refer to the Owners Manual for circuit board operation.

If, after long periods of burning, the fire builds up or there is a build up of clinkers, this would be a sign that the fuel quality is poor – this requires more air.

A tall, lazy flame with dark orange tips requires more air.
A short, brisk flame, like a blowtorch, has too much air .
If the flame is in the middle of these two characteristics with a bright yellow/orange, active flame with no black tips then the air is set for proper operation, refer to Figure 7.

SPECIAL NOTES:

Fuel quality is a major factor in how the stove will operate. If the fuel has a high moisture content or ash content the fire will be less efficient and has a higher possibility of the fire building up and creating clinkers (hard ash build-up).

Routine Cleaning and Maintenance

The following list of components should be inspected and maintained routinely to ensure that the appliance is operating at its optimum and giving you excellent heat value. The appliance, flue gas connector and the chimney flue require regular cleaning. Check them for blockage prior to re-lighting after a prolonged shut down period.

Check the Burn Pot Liner DAILY

TOOLS REQUIRED TO CLEAN UNIT:

Torx T-20 Screwdriver, ¼”, 5/16” ⅜”, & 7/16” wrench and/or socket, Brush, Soft Cloth, and Vacuum with fine filter bag

Cleaning Your Pellet Stove

IMPORTANT : The purchaser is responsible for the annual maintenance of the appliance, as outlined in the owner’s manual. The warranty may be voided due to problems caused by a lack of maintenance. Records/receipts of all maintenance completed by service companies must be kept in case asked for if there is warranty on the product.

BURNER POT AND LINER (Checked Daily/Emptied Weekly)
This is the ‘pot’ where the pellets are burned. Only clean when the unit is cold. Note: If, after long periods of burning, the fire continually builds up and overflows the burn pot or there is a build up of clinkers, this is an indication that the pellet fuel quality is poor or the stove may need cleaning. Check the stove for ash build up (clean if required) and adjust the combustion air trim and if required the slider/damper to produce the proper clean combustion.

Open the door using the door handle located on the right-hand side of the stove.
Lift the lever on burn pot to unlock the fire grate and remove it.
The agitator locks at the right; rotate the top of the agitator towards the back of the firebox to unlock t, slide it to the left, and lift it out of the burn pot liner.
Lift the burn pot liner out of the stove.
Lift the burn pot from the firebox by gently lifting it up at the front of the burn pot, then slide it out from around the air intake tube and the ignitor cartridge.
Remove any build up on the agitator (calcium build-ups are common when burning corn). Using a metal scrapper, remove material that has accumulated or is clogging the liner’s holes. Then dispose of the scrapped ashes from the liner and from inside the burn-pot.
Place the burn-pot back into the stove, there are hooks at the front of the burn pot that sit in a mount in the firebox. Ensure that the air intake tube and the ignitor cartridge. are properly inserted into the burn pot.
Place the liner back into the burn-pot, making sure that the ignitor hole in the liner is aligned with the ignitor tube; push the liner up against the ignitor tube.
Slide the agitator back into place and turn rotate the top towards the front of the stove to lock it in.
Set the fire grate in place, it should sit level on the front and back of the burn pot liner. Lock it in with the lever on the burn pot.
Close the door.

HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES (Weekly)
The Heat Exchanger Tube’s Cleaning Rake Handle is located above the firebox door. Move the handle all the way in and out a few times (ONLY WHEN THE UNIT IS COLD) in order to clean away any fly ash that may have collected on the heat exchanger tubes.

Routine Cleaning and Maintenance

As different types of pellets produce different amounts of ash, cleaning of the tubes should be done on a regular basis to enable the unit to run efficiently.

DOOR GLASS CLEANING (Weekly)
It is recommended that the door glass be cleaned weekly to keep creosote/soot levels to a minimum. Cleaning of the glass must only be done when stove is cold. Open the door by lifting the handle. The glass can be cleaned by wiping down the outside and inside of the glass with a dry soft cloth. If the glass has build up that can not be removed with only the cloth, clean the glass using paper towel and a gas appliance glass cleaner, this may be purchased through most dealers. If a gas appliance glass cleaner is not available, use a damp paper towel dipped in fly ash to clean the glass. After the glass has been cleaned use the dry soft cloth to wipe down the outside and inside of the glass.

ASH PAN AND DOOR GASKETS (Weekly)
After extended use the gasketing may come loose. To repair this, glue the gasketing on using hightemperature fiberglass gasket glue available from your local dealer. This is important to maintain an airtight assembly.

ASH BOX (Weekly)

IMPORTANT: The unit must be OFF while the ash pan is removed.

The ash box is located behind the lower door (see Figure 10). To remove the ash box, lift the latch on the right, open the ash box door, and lift it out.
Dump the ashes into a metal container stored away from combustibles. Monitor the ash level every week.
Remember that different pellet fuels will have different ash contents. Ash content is a good indication of fuel efficiency and quality. Refer to “Safety Warnings And Recommendations” for disposal of ashes. Vacuum the inside of the ash pan compartment inside the pedestal including the hole at the top back of the compartment. Insert the ash box until it makes contact with the ash box stop.

DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR RAW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN.

This vent should be cleaned every year or after two tons of pellets. We recommend contacting your dealer for professional cleaning. To clean the vent pipe, tap lightly on the pipe to dislodge any loose ash. Open the bottom of the “T” to dump the ash, then vacuum as much of the ash out of the vent pipe as possible.

Conditions:

Warranty protects against defect in manufacture or FPI factory assembled components only, unless herein specified otherwise.

Any part(s) found to be defective during the warranty period as outlined above will be repaired or replaced at FPI’s option through an accredited distributor, dealer or pre-approved and assigned agent provided that the defective part is returned to the distributor, dealer or agent for inspection if requested by FPI. Alternatively, FPI may at its own discretion fully discharge all of its obligations under the warranty by refunding the verified purchase price of the product to the original purchaser. The purchase price must be confirmed by the original Bill of Sale.

The authorized selling dealer, or an alternative authorized FPI dealer if pre-approved by FPI, is responsible for all in-field diagnosis and service work related to all warranty claims. FPI is not responsible for results or costs of workmanship of unauthorized FPI dealers or agents in the negligence of their service work.

At all times FPI reserves the right to inspect reported complaints on location in the field claimed to be defective prior to processing or authorizing of any claim. Failure to allow this upon request will void the warranty.

All warranty claims must be submitted by the dealer servicing the claim, including a copy of the Bill of Sale (proof of purchase by you). All claims must be complete and provide full details as requested by FPI to receive consideration for evaluation. Incomplete claims may be rejected.

Replacement units are limited to one per warranty term. Airtube and baffle replacements are limited to one replacement per term.

Unit must be installed according to all manufacturers’ instructions as per the manual.

All Local and National required codes must be met.

The installer is responsible to ensure the unit is operating as designed at the time of installation.

The original purchaser is responsible for annual maintenance of the unit, as outlined in the owner’s manual. As outlined below, the warranty may be voided due to problems caused by lack of maintenance.

Repair/replacement parts purchased by the consumer from FPI after the original coverage has expired on the unit will carry a 90 day warranty, valid with a receipt only. Any item shown to be defective will be repaired or replaced at our discretion. No labor coverage is included with these parts

Exclusions:
This Limited Lifetime Warranty does not extend to paint, rust or corrosion of any kind due to a lack of maintenance or improper venting, combustion air provision, corrosive chemicals (i.e. chlorine, salt, air, etc.), inner panels, door or glass gasketing, or any other additional factory fitted gasketing.

Malfunction, damage or performance based issues as a result of environmental conditions, location, chemical damages, downdrafts, installation error, installation by an unqualified installer, incorrect chimney components (including but not limited to cap size or type), operator error, abuse, misuse, use of improper fuels (plastics, garbage, solvents, cardboard, coal or coal products, oil based products, waxed cartons, compressed premanufactured logs), lack of regular maintenance and upkeep, acts of God, weather related problems from hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, floods, lightning strikes/bolts or acts of terrorism or war, which result in malfunction of the appliance are not covered under the terms of this Limited Lifetime Warranty.

FPI has no obligation to enhance or modify any unit once manufactured (i.e. as products evolve, field modifications or upgrades will not be performed on existing appliances).

This warranty does not cover dealer travel costs for diagnostic or service work. All labor rates paid to authorized dealers are subsidized, pre- determined rates. Dealers may charge homeowner for travel and additional time beyond their subsidy.

Any unit showing signs of neglect or misuse will not be covered under the terms of this warranty policy and may void this warranty. This includes units with rusted or corroded fireboxes which have not been reported as rusted or corroded within three (3) months of installation/purchase.

Units which show evidence of being operated while damaged, or with problems known to the purchaser and causing further damages will void this warranty. Units where the serial no. has been altered, deleted, removed or made illegible will void this warranty.

Minor movement, expansion and contraction of the steel is normal and is not covered under the terms of this warranty.

FPI is not liable for the removal or replacement of facings or finishing in order to repair or replace any appliance in the field.

Freight damages for products or parts are not covered under the terms of the warranty.

Products made or provided by other manufacturers and used in conjunction with the FPI appliance without prior authorization from FPI may void this warranty.

Limitations of Liability:

The original purchaser’s exclusive remedy under this warranty, and FPI’s sole obligation under this warranty, express or implied, in contract or in tort, shall be limited to replacement, repair, or refund, as outlined above. IN NO EVENT WILL FPI BE LIABLE UNDER THIS WARRANTY FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR DAMAGES TO PROPERTY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FPI MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE WARRANTY SPECIFIED HEREIN. THE DURATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO DURATION OF THE EXPRESSED WARRANTY SPECIFIED ABOVE. IF IMPLIED WARRANTIES CANNOT BE DISCLAIMED, THEN SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THIS WARRANTY.

Some U.S. states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or allow exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

Customers located outside the U.S. should consult their local, provincial or national legal codes for additional terms which may be applicable to this warranty.
