Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Castleton woodstove
from Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products.
This stove will provide years of comfortable heat.
This stove also provides the benefits of advanced
technology in wood burning without the cost and
maintenance requirements of a catalytic device. The
Castleton blends modern technology with the unique
beauty and qualities of cast iron. We trust that you
will appreciate the quality of this handcrafted
product.
Your Castleton woodstove burns very efficiently, and
produces a large amount of heat. However, you
should not consider your Castleton the primary heat
source for your home. The Castleton’s large glass
window allows you to enjoy the fire from a variety of
locations in the room.
Please read this manual in its entirety. Its purpose is
to familiarize you with your stove's safe installation,
proper break-in, operation and maintenance. It
contains extremely important information so keep it
handy and refer to it often.
A qualified heating technician may need this owner’s
manual as a reference when installing this stove in
your home. There are national, state, and local
building codes that direct the technician on how to
install your stove. These codes stipulate the
dimension of stovepipe and clearances to walls,
ceilings, hearth, and other combustible surfaces.
The codes exist to reduce the risk of fire. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in fire, property
damage, bodily injury, and even death.
SAFETY NOTICE:
AN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED STOVE CAN
RESULT IN A HOUSE FIRE. FOR YOUR SAFETY,
CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION
DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR
FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND
INSTALLATION INSPECTION IN YOUR AREA.
The safety of your stove will depend on many
factors, some of which include: distance to
combustible objects, correct venting, and adequate
chimney maintenance. Should you have any
questions, do not hesitate to contact your dealer for
additional information.
Contact your dealer for any necessary warranty
service.
This Castleton Model 8030 stove is warranted by:
Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc®
317 Stafford Ave.
Morrisville, Vermont 05661, USA
www.Hearthstonestoves.com
Install the stove in a safe, open area, away from
traffic flow, doors, and hallways. If possible, try to
install the stove near an existing chimney and
chimney connector. It is extremely important to
install this stove with the proper clearance from
combustible surfaces. You can purchase specific
connector pipe and special wall coverings as
specified by this manual and the NFPA 211 code to
protect combustible surfaces. As a general rule,
keep furniture, drapes, curtains, wood, paper, and
other combustibles at least 36 inches (92 cm) away
from the stove. Never install the stove in or near a
storage location for gasoline, kerosene, charcoal
lighter fluid or any other flammable liquids.
Install the stove in your central living area to allow
heat to radiate naturally to distant rooms. Do not
install your stove in a poorly insulated area. This is
inefficient and would likely result in higher fuel
usage.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Read and understand this Owner's Manual
thoroughly before installing and using this
stove.
Make sure to install your stove:
According to the manufacturer's
recommendations
In accordance with all applicable codes
With the proper sized chimney
When using your stove, follow these safety
precautions:
Never modify this stove in any way.
Never burn kiln dried, painted or treated wood in
this stove.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE. Never burn
garbage or trash, colored or glossy paper,
solvents, plywood, artificial logs, cardboard, or
driftwood, in this stove.
Never burn coal in this stove.
DO NOT BURN FLAMMABLE FLUIDS.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO
START THE FIRE. Never use gasoline,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or other
flammable fluids to start or invigorate the fire.
These fuels will cause dangerous burning
conditions in the stove. Keep all such materials
away from the stove.
Never use a wood grate or other device to
elevate the fire.
Never allow logs in the firebox to hit the glass
when the door is closed.
Never slam the door or use the door to force
wood in to the stove.
Never over-fire your stove. (See page 24)
Never put articles of clothing or candles on a hot
stove.
Never connect the stove to a flue used by
another appliance.
Other safety guidelines:
Keep all combustible items such as furniture,
drapes, clothing, and other items, at least 36"
(0.92 m) from the stove (See page 8)
Install a smoke detector, preferably in an area
away from your wood stove.
Keep a fire extinguisher handy. We recommend
the type rated "A B C."
Dispose of ashes properly. (See page 24)
Keep children and pets away from the stove
when it is burning; they could be seriously
injured by touching a hot stove.
Clean your chimney system as needed. (See
page 26)
Outside combustion air may be required if:
1. This solid-fuel-fired appliance does
not draw steadily, smoke rollout
occurs, fuel burns poorly, or backdrafts occur whether or not there is
combustion present.
2. Existing fuel-fired equipment in the
house, such as fireplaces or other
heating appliances, smell, do not
operate properly, suffer smoke rollout when opened, or back-draft
whether or not there is combustion
present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm
(windless) day alleviates any of the
above symptoms.
4. The house is equipped with a wellsealed vapor barrier and tight fitting
windows and/or has any powered
devices that exhaust house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on
windows in the winter.

6. A ventilation system is installed in
the house.
If these or other indications suggest that infiltration
air is inadequate, additional combustion air should
be provided from the outdoors. Outside combustion
air can be provided to the appliance by using the
optional outside air kit #90-53300
At the End of Every Season:
Dismantle the chimney connector and clean it
thoroughly. Replace any pieces that show signs
of rust or deterioration.
Inspect and, if necessary, clean your chimney.
Clean out the inside of the stove thoroughly.
Inspect all door gasket material and replace if
worn, frayed, cracked or extremely hard.
PERIODIC CHECKLIST
Perform each of these tasks at the specified
intervals.
At the End of Every Week:
Empty ashes from the firebox, sooner if the
firebox is full.
At the Beginning of Every Other Month:
Depending upon your use of the stove, visually
inspect the chimney connector and chimney for
creosote. (see page 26)
Check door seals using the "dollar bill test." -
When the stove is cool, shut the door on a dollar
bill. If the bill pulls out without any resistance,
then your stove’s door is not sealing properly. To
tighten the seal, adjust the door latch
mechanism or change the door gasket. (Refer to
page 26.)
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
If you have a stovepipe or chimney fire, follow these
instructions:
1. If the fire is too threatening, leave the area and
call the fire department immediately! If not,
perform the next three steps.
2. Close the primary air control.
3. Close the stovepipe damper (if present).
4. Keep the stove front door closed!
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUT OUT A
STOVEPIPE OR CHIMNEY FIRE BY THROWING
WATER ONTO THE STOVE, STOVEPIPE, OR
CHIMNEY. THE EXTREMELY HIGH
TEMPERATURE OF SUCH FIRES CAN CAUSE
INSTANTANEOUS STEAM AND SERIOUS BODILY
HARM.
Once the chimney fire expires, leave the primary air
control closed and let the fire in the stove die out
completely. Inspect the stove, stovepipe, and
chimney thoroughly for any sign of damage before
firing the stove again. You must correct any damage
before using your stove again.

UNPACKING
Installation
INSTALLING YOUR STOVE
Hearthstone packages your Castleton woodstove
with the greatest care so that it ships safely. Under
certain circumstances, however, damage may occur
during transit and handling. When you receive the
Castleton, carefully unpack and inspect the stove
and all accompanying parts. Ensure that all parts are
included in the ash pan. If any parts are damaged or
missing, please contact your authorized Hearthstone
dealer immediately.
PACK LIST
Castleton Model 8030 Woodstove
Owner’s Manual
The label is attached by a cable to the bottom of the
stove. Take care when lifting the stove not to
damage the label or cable. After final positioning of
the stove, the label may be stored between the
bottom of the stove and the bottom heat shield.
Choose a place to install your Castleton woodstove.
Inspect this location to make sure that the stove and
stovepipes will have the required clearance from
combustible materials that are near the stove.
Combustibles include walls, floor, ceiling, and
chimney chase. You must carefully consider the
clearances to all of these combustibles before
actually connecting your stove.
If the floor is made of combustible material, then a
non-combustible floor protector is required between
the floor and the stove. An example of a noncombustible floor protector is a hearth constructed
with a continuous layer of tile, brick, slate, glass or
another non-combustible facing. There is no R-value
requirement.
If you use a Rear connector pipe, ensure it is listed
with Underwriter’s Laboratories. Check the listing of
your pipe with UL for the correct clearances.
The diagrams in this manual represent typical
installations, but are specific to the Simpson DuraVent DVL brand.
Clearances to NFPA Code 211 Protected
Surfaces
You can reduce the clearances to combustible
surfaces by using any National Fire Protection
Agency (NFPA) approved wall protection system.
Please refer to NFPA Code 211 for specifications
and complete details. You can obtain this
information directly from the NFPA.

HEARTH REQUIREMENTS & FLOOR PROTECTION
Ensure you protect combustible flooring with a covering of noncombustible material. The Castleton does not
require an insulated hearth pad. The minimum floor protection must be met under the stove and extend beyond
the stove as follows:
The minimum floor protection for US installations is 36-1/2in x 31-1/2in.
The minimum floor protection for installations in Canada is 44-1/2in x 37-1/2in.
* Installations in Canada require 18” (45.72 cm) of floor protection on both side and front.
** Rear clearance required only if stovepipe runs horizontally back above the top or behind the stove.
