Regency Hampton GC60 Large Pellet Stove OWNER'S MANUAL - Manual (Page 6)

Safety Warnings & Recommendations
ELECTRICAL: The use of a surge protected power bar is 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.
