Routine Cleaning and Maintenance
FIREBOX
(weekly)
The paint on the steel firebox panels may peel. This is due to extreme conditions applied to the paint and is in no
way covered by warranty. Brush and vacuum up all soot and flyash from firebox.
AIR WASH
(semi-annually)
Vacuum out the air wash passages at the top of the glass (see Figure 33). We recommend that a soft brush nozzle
head is used on the vacuum.
EXHAUST VENT
(semi-annually)
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. Failure to clean
exhaust venting can result in a serious creosote fire.
BLOWER MECHANISMS
(semi-annually)
Unplug the stove then open the right and left side panels to access the two blowers. Vacuum all dust from motors.
DO NOT lubricate the motors. Check gaskets and replace if needed.
hIngeS
Check to make sure all hinges are working properly. You may use high temp anti-seize on door hinges for smoother
operation.
poSt SeaSon clean-up
Once you are finished using the pellet appliance for the season, unplug the stove for added electrical protection.
It is very important that the stove be thoroughly cleaned and serviced. Pellet stove should be regularly service for
optimum efficiency and prolonged life.
DOOR GLASS REPLACEMENT
Never run a stove with broken glass, new glass must be purchased and installed by a Regency dealer. The
door glass is made of high temperature “PYROCERAM” ceramic glass. The proper glass size is 13” x 9.5” x 0.2”
(5mm). To replace the glass, unscrew and remove the seven retainer screws. Carefully remove the glass and
any broken pieces using protective gloves. High temperature fiberglass tape should be used around the glass
on the sides and bottom. Place glass with fiberglass tape around outside into cast door, there should be no
gasket at the top. Use the same retainers to secure the glass in place, make sure glass is properly seated in the
cast door before tightening screws. Do not strike or slam door shut this can cause glass to break. The use of
substitute glass materials is prohibited use only part 50-2942.
