Safety Warnings & Recommendations
* This manual is designed for the technician in conjunction with the owner’s manual. *
Please read this entire Technical 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 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/CREASOTE): 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
creasote 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
and grass
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/CREASOTE: Operation of the stove with insufficient combustion air will result in the formation
of soot/creasote 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: “
S
etting”.
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 creasote 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.
. Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and may void the

Safety Warnings & Recommendations
ELECTRICAL:
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.

deciding Whereto locateyour pellet appliance:
1. Do not install the stove in a bedroom or room where people sleep in.
2. Locate the stove in a large and open room that is centrally located in the house. This will optimize
heat circulation.
3. Check clearances to combustibles and for the least amount of interference to house framing, plumbing,
wiring, etc.
4. You can vent the stove with approved pipe through an exterior wall behind the unit or pass it through
the ceiling and roof. The stove can connect to an existing masonry or metal chimney (must be lined
if the chimney is over 6” (15 cm) diameter, or over 28 inches² (180 cm²) cross sectional area).
5. This unit must not be installed directly onto carpet. If it is to be installed on a carpeted area, a solid
surface (wood, metal or approved hearth pad) must be installed between the unit and the carpet.
6. 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.
7. Do not obtain combustion air from an attic, garage or any unventilated space. Combustion air may be
obtained from a ventilated crawlspace.
8. The power cord is 8 feet (2.43 m) long and may require a grounded extension cord to reach the
nearest electrical outlet.

hot enough to cause burns if touched by children. Non-combustible shielding or guards may be required.
3. Termination must exhaust above the inlet elevation. It is recommended that at least five feet of vertical pipe be
installed outside when the appliance is vented directly through a wall, to create some natural draft to prevent the
possibility of smoke or odor during appliance shut down or power failure. This will keep exhaust from causing a
nuisance or hazard from exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. In any case, the safest and preferred
venting method is to extend the vent through the roof vertically.
4. Distance from the bottom of the termination and grade is 12” (30 cm) minimum. This is conditional upon the
plants and nature of grade surface. The exhaust gases are hot enough to ignite grass, plants and shrubs located
in the vicinity of termination. The grade surface must not be lawn.
5. If the unit is incorrectly vented or the air to fuel mixture is out of balance, a slight discoloration of the exterior
of the house might occur. Since these factors are beyond the control of Regency Fireplace Products, we grant no
guarantee against such incidents.
6. Horizontal terminations must extend at least 12” (30 cm) away from the building.
NOTE: Venting terminals shall not be recessed into walls or siding.

horizontal exhauSt through Wall inStallation:
Vent installation: install vent at clearances specified by the vent manufacturer.
A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed spaces,
or a floor, or ceiling. Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired,
the installation must conform to CAN/CSA-B365 Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and
Equipment and with all local regulations, including those referring to regional and national. Only use
venting of L or PL type or corn certified venting if corn will be burned as a fuel with an inside diameter of 4
inches (100 mm). All joints in the exhaust venting system must be fastened with at least three (3) screws.
1. Place the appliance 15” (37.5 cm) away from the wall. If the stove will be installed on a hearth pad,
set the unit on it.
2. Locate the center of the exhaust pipe on the stove. Extend that line to the wall. Once you have located
the center point on the wall, refer to pellet vent manufacturer installation instructions for correct hole
size and clearance to combustibles.
3. Install the wall thimble as per the instructions written on the thimble. Maintain an effective vapour
barrier in accordance with local building codes.
4. Install a length of vent pipe into the wall thimble. Try not to have joints inside the thimble. The pipe
should install easily into the thimble.
5. Connect the exhaust vent pipe to the exhaust pipe on the stove. Seal the connection with high
temperature silicone.
6. Install the fresh air intake (see
Outside Fresh Air COnneCtiOn).
7. Push the stove straight back, leaving a minimum of 3” (7.6 cm) clearance from the back of the stove
to the wall. Refer to Vent Manufacturers’ instructions if sealant is required.

8. The pipe must extend at least 12” (30 cm) away from the building. If necessary, bring another
length of pipe to the outside of the home to connect to the first section. Do not forget to place
high temperature silicone around the pipe that passes through the thimble if required by vent
manufacturer.
9. Install a vertical pipe, or if all requirements for direct venting are met, install vent termination. The
stainless steel cap termination manufactured by the vent manufacturer is recommended. However,
when the vent terminates several feet above ground level and there are no trees, plants, etc. within
several feet, a 45° elbow can be used as termination. The elbow must be turned down to prevent
rain from entering.
NOTE:
• It is recommended that horizontal through wall installations have 3 to 5 feet (91 to 152 cm) of vertical
pipe in the system to help naturally draft the unit in the event of extreme weather or a power outage.
• Some horizontal through wall installations may require a “T” and 3 to 5 feet (91 to 152 cm) of vertical
pipe outside the building to help draft the unit. This may be required if a proper burn cannot be
maintained, after the stove has been tested and the airflow set. This is due to the back pressure in the
exhaust caused by airflow around the structure.
• Follow vent manufacturer guidelines for installation, clearance to combustibles, and sealing of venting.
High temp Sealant must be used when connecting vent pipe to the unit’s starter pipe. Improper seals
at the vent joints may cause combustion by-products to leak into the room where installed - seal as
required by vent manufacturer.

This unit is designed to operate within a negative pressure range
of 0.15-0.17 inches of water column (37-42 Pa). (See
image on right for location to measure negative pressure
test port). This can be measured using a Magnahelic pressure
gauge once the unit has been running on heat level 5 setting after
Negative Pressure
Testing Port
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.
The easiest way to make sure that an efficient flame is achieved is to understand the characteristics of the fire.
• 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 20.
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).

Troubleshooting
DO NOT:
● Service the stove with wet hands. The stove is an electrical appliance, which may pose a shock hazard
if handled improperly. Only qualified technicians should deal with possible internal electrical failures.
● Do not remove from the firebox any screws without penetrating oil lubrication.
WHAT TO DO IF:
1. The stove will not start.
2. The stove will not operate when hot.
3. The exhaust blower will not function normally.
4. Light # 3 on Heat output bar flashing.
5. Auger light flashes but auger motor does not turn at all.
6. The 200 °F (93 °C) high limit temperature sensor has tripped.
7. The convection blower will not function normally.
8. Ignitor- the Fuel will not light.
9. Control settings (Heat Level) has no effect on the fire.
10. The stove keeps going out.
11 The agitator does not turn.
*NOTE: All troubleshooting procedures should be carried out by qualified technicians or installers.
1. The stove will not start.
• Check the line fuse to see if it has blown.
• Make sure the stove is plugged in and the wall outlet is supplying power.
• If the Control Board has been placed in the ON /OFF thermostat mode, then turn the thermostat up
to call for heat.
• Ensure the burn pot liner is correctly placed in the burn pot
• Check the Heat Level Indicator. - If the # 3 light is flashing (unit may be out of fuel)
• Check the Door and Ash Pan door - THEY MUST BE CLOSED TIGHT.
• See section 8 “The Fuel will not light”.
• Check the fuse on the circuit board.
• If the unit still does not start, contact your local service dealer for service.
2. The stove will not operate when hot.
• Check the Heat Level Indicator if a fire is not detected or if the fire has gone out the #3 light will flash
because the Exhaust Temperature Sensor’s contacts have opened.
• Check the hopper for fuel.
• Incorrect air damper/combustion air trim setting.
Excessive air may consume the fire too quickly before the next drop of fuel, leaving completely
unburned fuel in the burn pot liner.
Insufficient air may cause the vacuum switch to open or will cause build up, further restricting the air
flow through the Burn Pot Liner. This in turn will cause the fuel to burn cold and very slowly. Fuel may
build up and smother the fire. In this case clean the burn pot.
NOTE: The unit may require a change to the vent system or installation of fresh air to correct Air to
Fuel ratio problems if unable to achieve proper damper setting.
• Combustion Blower failure. - The Combustion Blower is not turning fast enough to generate the
proper vacuum in the fire box. Visual Check – is the blower motor turning. See section #3 - The
Exhaust Blower will not function normally.
• Poor Quality Fuel – Insufficient energy in the fuel to produce enough heat to keep the stove
burning
20
Hampton GC60 Cast Pellet Stove Technical Manual
Page 21
Troubleshooting
• Exhaust Temperature Sensor failure. Bypass sensor located on Exhaust Blower, if stove now operates
properly, the unit may require cleaning or a new sensor. Contact your local dealer for service.
• Check the agitator to make sure it is turning properly
3. The exhaust motor will not function normally.
• Check the line fuse to see if it has blown.
• Open the access panels; check all connections against the wiring diagram.
• Check the Exhaust Blower voltage across the blower motor wires (>=115V on #5 setting and >= 75V
on #1 setting). – Replace the Circuit Board if the Voltage reading is less than 75 V. with a line voltage
of >115 V AC.
• Clean all exhaust passages and venting.
• Check and, if necessary, replace capacitor.
4. Light # 3 on Heat output bar flashing (The Exhaust Temp. Switch contacts have opened.)
• Stove ran out of fuel - check fuel level in the hopper.
• See sections #2 - Stove will not operate when hot, #3 - The Exhaust motor will not function normally,
and #5 - Unit is on but auger does not turn at all for more suggestions.
• Severe negative pressure in area where unit is installed - Check the operation by opening a window,
does this solve the problem? If it does, install fresh air intake to unit or room. Venting system may
require vertical section to move termination into a low pressure zone.
• To reset Circuit Board after a trouble code - push the ON/OFF button.
5. Unit is on but auger motor does not turn at all.
• Check the line fuse to see if it has blown.
• Check the Door and Ash Pan door - THEY MUST BE CLOSED TIGHT.
• If the Auger gear box does not turn but the motor’s armature does try to spin, then the auger is
jammed. Try to break apart jam by poking at the jam through the drop tube. If this fails then empty
the hopper and remove the Auger Cover **Remember to re-seal the cover after installation**
• Auger stopped running. Pinch, break or blockage in Vacuum Hose - Check hose for pinch points or
damage, replace or re-route as required. Blow out Vacuum Hose and intake pipe.
• Damage to wires between Circuit Board and Vacuum Switch and Auger Motor - Inspect wires and
connectors.
• Vacuum Switch failure - Bypass the vacuum switch, if this corrects the problem check for above
problems before replacing the Vacuum Switch.
• Blocked exhaust / venting system - Have stove and venting cleaned and inspected.
• Check Vacuum levels at the Vacuum Switch, with a Magnahelic Gauge (readings must be above .07”
W.C. on low fire).
6. Light # 4 on Heat output bar flashing The 200 °F ( 93 °C) high limit temperature sensor
has tripped.
• Reset sensor and determine cause. Was it Convection Blower failure or Circuit board control
problems?
• Hopper lid has been left open for longer than two minutes.

Troubleshooting
7. The convection blower will not function normally.
• Check the line fuse to see if it has blown.
• Clean all grill openings at the back and below unit .
• Check the Voltage across the blower wires, It should adjust with the heat output settings. If not
contact your local dealer for service.
8. Ignitor - the pellets will not light.
• Check the line fuse to see if it has blown.
NOTE: The ignitor should be bright orange in color.
• Everything else in the stove operates but the ignitor will not light the pellets.
• Make sure the burn pot liner is up tight and square to the ignitor
• Check to see if the exhaust blower is operating. If not, contact your local dealer for service.
9. Control settings (Heat Level) has no effect on the fire.
• Check position of the Thermostat slide switch on the Circuit Board.
• If there is no control of the Heat Level button, make sure the thermostat is calling for heat.
• Call your local dealer for service.
10. The stove keeps going out.
If the stove goes out and leaves fresh unburned fuel in the burn pot liner, the fire is going out before
the stove shuts off.
• Trim the combustion air down to decrease the magnahelic pressure.
• Turn the Heat Level up slightly (poor quality fuels will require slightly higher settings).
• Set the auger trim up one setting
If the stove goes out and there are partially burned pellets left in the burn pot liner, the stove has shut
down due to a lack of air, exhaust temperature, or power failure.
• Trim the combustion air to a higher setting to increase the magnahelic pressure inside the stove.
• Check to see if the stove needs a more complete cleaning.
• Turn the Heat Level up slightly (poor quality fuel will require slightly higher settings).
• Jump the exhaust temperature sensor, if this fixes the problem then replace the white 120 °F ( 49
°C) sensor
• Did the power go out?
• Contact your local Dealer for service.
11. The agitator does not turn.
• Ensure unit has finished start-up.
• Ensure agitator is locked into the drive shaft properly and is not jammed.
• Check drive chain assembly and gear motor for damage.
• Check the agitator motor is functioning properly.

WARRANTY
FPI is the manufacturer of the Hampton line of pellet heating products. At FPI, our commitment to the highest level of quality and
customer service is the most important thing we do. Each Hampton stove is built on a tradition of using only the nest materials and
is backed by our Exclusive Lifetime Limited Warranty to the original purchaser. With Hampton, you’re not just buying a stove, you’re
buying a company with years of unequalled performance and quality.
Limited Lifetime Warranty:
Under this warranty, FPI covers the replace or stove body and accessories against defects in materials and workmanship, for part
repair or replacement for the rst seven (7) years and limited labour for the rst two (2) years to the original purchaser. This Warranty
covers: Firebox, Heat Exchanger, Burn Pot, Firebox Panels, Ceramic Glass, Pedestals, Panels, Legs, Log Sets and Door Assembly.
Please see the exclusions and limitation section below as certain restrictions and exclusions apply to this warranty.
Limited Three (3) Year Warranty
Under this warranty, FPI covers the Burn Pot Liner against defects in materials and workmanship, for part repair or replacement for
the rst three (3) years and limited labour for the rst two (2) years to the original purchaser. Please see the exclusions and limitation
section below as certain restrictions and exclusions apply to this warranty.
Limited Two (2) Year Warranty:
Under this warranty, FPI covers: Auger Motor, Circuit Board, Timers, Temp Sensors, Blowers, Vacuum Switch and Wire Harness,
against defects in materials and workmanship, for part repair or replacement for the rst two (2) years and limited labour for the rst
two (2) years to the original purchaser. Please see the exclusions and limitation section below as certain restrictions and exclusions
apply to this warranty.
Limited One (1) Year Warranty:
Under this warranty, FPI covers the Ignitor and all exterior surface nishes against defects in materials and workmanship, for part
repair or replacement and limited labour for the rst (1) year to the original purchaser. Please see the exclusions and limitation section
below as certain restrictions and exclusions apply to this warranty.
Please Note - Burning Corn or Grains - Burning corn or other grains creates a harsher environment than burning wood pellets. The sugar in corn
turns to acid during the combustion process and erodes certain components at a faster rate. The burn pot liner and the agitator in your Multi - Fuel
stove is a consumable item when burning corn or other grains, and not covered under warranty. We expect that these components will last a couple
of burn seasons but due to the wide variety and quality of grains we are not able to accurately predict how long they will last.
Here is how our Warranty works
If you have any concerns with your Hampton product please contact the dealer where you purchased the replace or stove. Your
dealer shall make all claims in writing in reference to this warranty policy. Any and all parts and service will be handled through the
selling dealer.
