It is important that you read this manual thoroughly and fully understand the installation andoperating procedures. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury
or even death. The more you understand the way
your Hampton Insert operates, the more enjoyment you will experience from knowing that yourunit is operating at peak performance.

Before installing, check and clean your chimneysystem thoroughly. If in doubt about its condition, seek professional advice. Your Hampton
Insert is designed for installation into a masonry
fireplace that is constructed in accordance withthe requirements of "The Standard for Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliance", N.F.P.A. 211, the National Building
Code of Canada, or the applicable local code
requirements.

BEFORE INSTALLING
YOUR INSERT
1) Read all instructions before installing andusing your fireplace insert. Install and use
only in accordance with manufacturer’s
installation and operating instructions.
2) Check your local building codes - Building Inspection Department. You may
require a permit before installing yourinsert. Be aware that local codes andregulations may override some items inthe manual.
WARNING: Careless installation is the
major cause of safety hazard. Check all
local building and safety codes before
installation of unit.
3) Notify your home insurance company thatyou plan to install a fireplace insert.
4) Your fireplace insert is heavy and requires
two or more people to move it safely. The
insert and surrounding structure can bebadly damaged by mishandling.
5) If your existing fireplace damper control
will become inaccessible once you haveinstalled your Hampton Insert, you should
either remove or secure it in the open position.
6) Inspect your fireplace and chimney prior
to installing your insert to determine that it
is free from cracks, loose mortar or othersigns of damage. If repairs are required,
they should be completed before installingyour insert. Do not remove bricks or mortar
from your masonry fireplace.
7) Do not connect the insert to a chimney
flue servicing another appliance or an air
distribution duct.

The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or,in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the CanadianElectrical code, CSA C22.1.
Hampton Inserts are designed to use either a5.5" (140mm) or 6" (152mm) flue.
This insert must be connected to a code-approved masonry chimney or listed factory-built
fireplace chimney with a direct flue connector
into the first chimney liner section. The chimney
size should not be less than or more than threetimes greater than the cross-sectional area ofthe flue collar.

Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built
Fireplaces.
1) The insert must be tested and meet therequirements of UL 1482 (U.S.) and or ULC
S628 (Canada) when tested in a masonry
fireplace built per ULC S628.
2) The factory-built fireplace must be listed per
UL 127 or ULC S610.
3) Clearances obtained from the masonry fireplace tests are also relevant for installationin factory-built fireplaces.
4) Installation must include a full height listed
chimney liner type HT requirements (2100
degree F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC
S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely
attached to the insert flue collar and thechimney top.

6) Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is
not permitted with the following exceptions;a. external trim pieces which do not affectthe operation of the fireplace may beremoved providing they can be stored on
or within the fireplace for re-assembly if
the insert is removed.
b. the chimney damper may be removed to
install the chimney liner.
7) Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fireplace liner or metal heat circulator) shall not
be blocked.
8) Means must be provided for removal of theinsert to clean the chimney flue.
9) Inserts that project in front of the fireplacemust be supplied with appropriate supportingmeans.
10) Installer must mechanically attach the supplied label to the inside of the firebox of thefireplace into which the insert is installed.

Floor Protection
Please check to ensure that your floor protection and hearth will meet the standards for clearance to combustibles. Your hearth extension must be made from a non-combustible material.

HOW TO DETERMINE IF ALTERNATEFLOOR PROTECTION MATERIALS ARE ACCEPTABLE
The specified floor protector should be 3/8"
(18mm) thick material with a K - factor of
0.84.
The proposed alternative is 4" (100mm) brickwith a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8" (3mm) mineralboard with a K-factor of 0.29.
Step (a):Use formula above to convert specification
to R-value.
R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893.

Step (b):Calculate R of proposed system.
4" brick of C = 1.25, therefore
Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80
1/8" mineral board of k = 0.29, therefore
Rmin.bd. = 1/0.29 x 0.125 = 0.431
Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral board =0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231.
Step (c):Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to
specified R of 0.893. Since proposed system
R is greater than required, the system is
acceptable.

INSTALLATIONINSTALLING YOUR INSERTSTOP! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
CAST COMPONENTS ARE VERY FRAGILE.
USE EXTREME CARE WHEN HANDLING.

Your insert is very heavy and will require two or three people tomove it into position.
1) Remove the Door to make the insert easier to handle.
To remove the Door, open fully and release the push pin at the topof the door and lift out from the bottom.

3) Lift the unit up onto the Hearth and slide into the fireplace opening.
Be sure to leave the unit out at least 3 to 4 inches in order to makethe necessary flue connections and to install the fan and faceplate.
Be sure to protect your hearth extension during the installation,ie. with a heavy blanket.
NOTE: You will be required to purchase either the standard or offset
6" diameter (152mm) flue adaptor that is best suited for the specificinstallation.
List of Tools needed;- Pull Rod (included with insert)- 1/2” socket / ratchet- 3/8 open face wrench
4) Install flex liner into existing chimney as per liner manufacturer’s
specifications. See diagram 1.
5) Install the required flue adaptor onto the end of the flex liner. Secure
the adaptor using 3 screws - 1 on the front, left and right side asshown in diagram 2.

Push Pin
Alignment of the flue adaptor can be critical during the install, it isrecommended that the flex liner be left as compressed as possible.
Before inserting the unit the adaptor should hang, when level, slightly
above the required height.

6) Install the unit by first setting the rear of the unit into the fireplace. See
diagram 3. Ensure that the unit is centered in the existing fireplace
and lined up with the flue adaptor.

10) Ensure that the unit is still level.
11) To complete the installation and to ensure a secure fit and connection of the flue adaptor to the insert, it is essential that the two bolts,
flat washers and lock washers (supplied with packaged manual) be
installed and tightened using a 1/2" socket as shown in diagram 6.
This prevents the possibility of creosote drip and exhaust gas leakage.

Diagram 3
7) Slide the unit back until the flue adaptor is slightly engaged.
8) At this point it is recommended to level the unit and ensure that theleveling bolts rest on the surface of the fireplace. This will keep theadaptor from binding as the unit is slid into position.
9) Insert the provided pull rod through the hole in the top center ofthe unit. Secure the threaded end into the flue adaptor as shown indiagram 4. While sliding the unit into place pull on the rod to ensurethat the flue adaptor is properly engaged. See diagram 5.

INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE
When referencing installation or connection to masonry fireplaces or chimneys, themasonry construction must or shall be code
complying.
The insert must be installed as per the requirements of your local inspection authority. Threemethods of flue connection are acceptable inmost areas, these include:
1) Positive flue connection, where a large
blocking plate and a short connector pipe
is used.
2) Direct flue connection, where a smaller
blocking plate and a connector pipe to thefirst flue liner tile is used.
3) Full flue liner, where a stainless steel rigid
or flexible liner pipe is routed from the insert
outlet collar to the top of the chimney.
Hampton highly recommends the use of a full
liner as the safest installation and provides themost optimum performance. Your retailer shouldbe able to help you decide which system would
be the best for your application.

In Canada this fireplace insert must be
installed with a continuous chimney linerof 5.5" or 6" diameter extending from thefireplace insert to the top of the chimney.
The chimney liner must conform to theClass 3 requirements of CAN/ULC-S635
or CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for Lining
Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.
Note: A clean-out door is sometimes
required, by your inspector, to beinstalled when either the Positive flueconnection or Direct flue connection
method is used.

2) Direct Flue
Connection
with Cleanout5) Measure approximately the alignment of theflue liner with the position of the smoke outlet
hole on the insert to check for possible offset.
If an offset is required, use the appropriate
offset adaptor in your installation.

The use of one of the connection methods listedon this page not only increases the safety of yourinsert by directing the hot gases up the flue, butwill also help increase the unit's efficiency anddecrease creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected flue or liner is in use, theinsert is able to “breathe” better by allowing agreater draft to be created. The greater draft candecrease problems such as, difficult start-ups,smoking out the door, and dirty glass.

INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILTFIREPLACE
1) When installed in a factory built fireplace, afull stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner
is mandatory, for both safety and performance purposes. When a flue or liner is inuse, the insert is able to breathe better by
allowing a greater draft to be created. The
greater draft can decrease problems suchas, difficult start-ups, smoking out the door,
and dirty glass.

1) Positive Flue
Connection
with Cleanout

4) If the floor of your fireplace is below thelevel of the fireplace opening, adjust theinsert's levelling bolts to accommodate thedifference. When additional shimming isrequired, use non-combustible masonry or
steel shims.

6) Once the above items have been checked,
slide your insert into position after first positioning and securing the flue liner to theoffset adaptor.
Attach the rod to the adaptor and slide theadaptor onto the unit as the unit is slid into
position. Ensure a positive connection.
Secure the adaptor to the unit by using 2bolts, flat washers, lock washers and one
screw in the front.
Re-install raincap at completion of installation.

2) In order to position the flue liner, the existing rain cap must be removed from yourchimney system. In most cases the flue
damper should also be removed to allow
passage of the liner.
3) In most cases opening the existing spark
screens fully should give enough room forthe insert installation. If it does not, remove
and store.

Installer: Please record unit serial number here before installing blower.

INSTALLATIONFIREBRICK ASSEMBLY

DRAFT CONTROL

Firebrick is included to extend the life of yourinsert and radiate heat more evenly. Check to
see that all firebricks are in their correct positions and have not become misaligned during
shipping.

Before establishing your first fire, it is importantthat you fully understand the operation of draft
control. The draft control rod is on the left sideof the Insert and it controls the intensity of thefire by increasing or decreasing the amountof air allowed into the firebox. To increase thedraft, slide the rod to the left and to decrease
the draft, slide the rod to the right.

Side View
3) Tilt the left baffle brick up on top of the sidechannel and it will leave enough room toposition the right baffle brick in the samemanner as Step 1) above. Then reposition
the left baffle brick flat on the air tube.

BRICK FLUE BAFFLE &SECONDARY AIR TUBEINSTALLATION
The flue baffle system located in the upper areaof the firebox is removable to make cleaning
your chimney system easier. The brick baffles
must be installed prior to your first fire. Smoke
spillage and draft problems may occur if thebaffles are improperly positioned. Check theposition of the brick baffles on a regular basis as
they can be dislodged if too much fuel is forced
into the firebox.
1) If the two air tubes are installed continue
on to Step 2), if not, follow the instructions
below. Install the air tube into the holes in theside channels. The notch goes on the righthand side with the air holes facing toward
the door. Slide the tube into the left handside, as far as possible and then bring it backinto the hole on the right hand side until it
locks into position. If the tube will not slidein easily simply use a pair of vise grips orpliers and tap it into place with a hammer. A
tighter fit will ensure the tube will not movewhen the unit is burning.

Front View

4) Important: push both baffle bricks sothey are tight against the side walls andto the back.

Slide Left to
Increase Draft

Slide Right toDecrease Draft

As well as a primary and glass wash air system,
the unit has a full secondary draft system thatallows air to the induction ports at the top of thefirebox, just below the flue baffle.
WARNING: To build a fire in ignorance or todisregard the information contained in thissection can cause serious permanent damage to the unit and void your warranty.

Front View

Note: When getting the chimney cleaned,remove the baffle bricks for accessto the flue, then replace them whencleaning is completed.

2) Slide the left baffle brick over the front air
tube and then slide it back over the rear air
tube.

HI200 Hampton Wood Cast Insert

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSFIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and inspected, you are ready for your first fire.
1) Open draft control fully.
2) Open firebox door and build a small fire using
paper and dry kindling, wait a few minutes
for a good updraft in the flue to establish thefire. Leaving the door slightly open will help
your fire start more rapidly.

CAUTION: Never leave unit unattended
if door is left open. This procedure is forfire start-up only, as unit may over-heat
if door is left open for too long.
3) With the draft still in the fully open position,
add two or three seasoned logs to your fire.
Form a trench in the ash bed to allow air toreach the rear of the firebox prior to closing
the door.
4) After about 15 to 20 minutes, when yourwood has begun to burn strongly, adjust
your draft control down to keep the fire at amoderate level.

WARNING: Never build a roaring fire ina cold stove. Always warm your stove
up slowly!
5) Once a bed of coals has been established,
you may adjust the draft control to a low
setting to operate the unit in its most efficientmode.
6) During the first couple of hours, keep the
combustion rate at a moderate level andavoid a large fire until the paint is cured.
Only then can you operate the insert at its
maximum setting, and only after the metalhas been warmed.
7) For the first few hours, the insert will giveoff an odour from the paint. This is to be
expected as the high temperature paintbecomes seasoned. Windows and/or doors
should be left open to provide adequate
ventilation while this temporary condition
exists. Burning the insert at a very hightemperature the first few times may damage
the paint. Burn fires at a moderate level thefirst few days.

10) For those units installed at higher elevations
or into sub-standard masonry fireplaces,
drafting problems may occur. Consult anexperienced dealer or mason on methodsof increasing your draft.
11) Some cracking and popping noises may be
experienced during the heating up process.
These noises will be minimal when your unit
reaches temperature.
12) Before opening your door to reload, open
draft fully for approximately 10 to 15 seconds
until fire has been re-established. This will
minimize any smoking.
13) All fuel burning appliances consume oxygen
during operation. It is important that you
supply a source of fresh air to your unit
while burning. A slightly opened window is
sufficient for this purpose.

CAUTION: If the body of your unit starts
to glow you are overfiring. Stop loading
fuel immediately and close the draft
control until the glow has completely
subsided.

FAN OPERATION
The fan is to be operated only with the draft
control rod pulled out at least 1/2" from thefully closed position. The fan is not to be
operated when the draft control rod is in theclosed position (pushed in). The fully closed
position is the low burn setting.
The fan must not be turned on until a fire has
been burning for at least 30 minutes. Also note
it is recommended that the fan be turned off
before each fuel loading and again wait for 30
minutes before the fan is turned on again. This
is too allow the stove to reach it's optimum
temperature.
To operate fan automatically, push switch on theright side of fan housing to "Auto" and second
switch, on the left to either "High" or "Low" forfan speed. The automatic temperature sensor will engage the blower when the unit is attemperature and will shut off the blower once
the fire has gone out and the unit has cooled to
below a useful heat output range.

14) Green or wet wood is not recommended foryour unit. If you must add wet or green fuel,open the draft control fully until all moisture
has been dispersed by the intense fire.
Once all moisture has been removed, thedraft control may be adjusted to maintainthe fire.

15) If you have been burning your insert on alow draft, use caution when opening thedoor. After opening the damper, open thedoor a crack, and allow the fire to adjust
before fully opening the door.
16) The controls of your unit should not bealtered to increase firing for any reason.

To manually operate the fan system, push theswitch on the left to "Man" and switch on theright to either "high" or "Low". This will bypass
the sensing device and allow full control of thefan. Switching from "Auto" to "Manual" or "High"to "Low" may be done at any time.

8) Do not place anything on the insert top
during the curing process. This may resultin damage to your paint finish.
9) During the first few hours it may be more difficult to start the fire. As you dry out your firebrick and your masonry flue (if applicable),your draft will increase.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSASH DISPOSAL
During constant use, ashes should be removed
every few days. Please take care to prevent thebuild-up of ash around the start-up air housing
located inside the firebox, under the loading
door lip.
DO NOT ALLOW ASHES TO BUILD UP TO
THE LOADING DOORS.
Only remove ashes when the fire has died down.
Even then, expect to find a few hot embers.
Always leave 1 to 2 inches of ash in the bottomof the firebox. This helps in easier starting anda more uniform burn of your fire.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container witha tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible floor oron the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in theclosed container until all cinders have thoroughlycooled. Other waste should not be placed in
the ash container.

SOME SAFETY
GUIDELINES
1) Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuels, kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or similar
liquids or chemicals to start or ‘freshen up’ afire in your insert. Keep all such liquids wellaway from the heater while it is in use.
2) Never use alternate fuels such as charcoal
that have the possibility of generating carbon
monoxide.
3) Keep the door closed during operation andmaintain all seals in good condition.
4) Do not burn large quantities of paper in yourinsert.
5) Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids.
6) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
7) Do not overfire your insert. If the insert or its
flue baffle begin to glow, you are overfiring.
Stop adding fuel and close the draft control.
Overfiring can cause extensive damage toyour stove including warpage and prematuresteel corrosion. Overfiring will void yourwarranty.

168) Do not permit creosote or soot buildup in thechimney system. Check and clean chimney
at regular intervals.
9) Your Hampton Insert can be very hot. You
may be seriously burned if you touch theinsert while it is operating. Warn children of
the burn hazard. Keep furniture and clothingaway.
10) The insert consumes air while operating,provide adequate ventilation with an air duct
or open a window while the insert is in use.
11) Do not use grates, irons or other methods
for supporting fuel. Burn directly on the
bricks.
12) Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15
seconds prior to slowly opening the door
when refuelling the fire.
13) Do not connect your unit to any air distribution duct.
14) Your insert should burn dry, standard firewood only. The use of “mill ends” is discouraged as this fuel can easily overheat yourinsert. Evidence of excessive overheating
will void your warranty. As well, a large portion of sawmill waste is chemically treatedlumber, which is illegal to burn in many areas.
Chemically treated fire logs also must not
be burned in your insert.
15) Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet fromyour unit.
16) Do not burn salt drift wood as it will corrode
your unit and void the warranty.
17) Do not strike or slam the glass door shut as
this may cause the glass to break.
18) Do not operate the unit if the glass is broken
or missing. Do not operate the unit if thegasketing is worn out and not sealing thedoor or the glass.
It is very important to carefully maintain yourinsert, including burning seasoned wood andmaintaining a clean stove and chimney system.
Have the chimney cleaned before the burningseason and as necessary during the season, as
creosote deposits may build up rapidly. Moving
parts of your insert require no lubrication.

CREOSOTE
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar andother organic vapors, which form creosote whencombined with moisture. The creosote vapors
condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of aslow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited,
this creosote can make an extremely hot fire.

Removal for Cleaning etc.
Removal of your insert for cleaning purposes isusually not required if a proper installation has
been done. In the event that removal is required,be sure not to damage any parts needed for
re-installation. In most cases removal andreplacement of the baffle system should allow
full access for cleaning.

WARNING: Things to remember incase of chimney fire:
1) Close draft control
2) Call the Fire Department

Ways to Prevent and
Keep Unit Free of Creosote
1) Burn insert with draft control wide open forabout 15 minutes every morning during
burning season. This helps to prevent creosote deposits within the heating system.
2) Burn insert with draft control wide open forabout 10 - 15 minutes every time you add
fresh wood. This allows the wood to achieve
the charcoal stage faster and burns up any
wood vapors which might otherwise bedeposited 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 fire is preferable to a large
smouldering one that can deposit creosote
within the system.
5) Check the chimney at least twice a month
during the burning season for creosotebuild-up.
6) Have chimney system and unit cleaned bycompetent chimney sweeps twice a year
during the first year of use and at least oncea year thereafter or when needed.
