Before  installing,  check  and  clean  your  chimney 
system thoroughly. If in doubt about its condition, 
seek professional advice. Your Regency Insert is 
designed for installation into a masonry fireplace 
that is constructed in accordance with the require-
ments 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.  

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 Canadian Electrical 
code, CSA C22.1.

This fireplace insert must be installed with a con-
tinuous chimney liner extending from the fireplace 
insert to the top of the chimney. The chimney liner 
must conform to the Class 3 requirements of CAN/
ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for Exist-
ing Masonry or Factory- Built Chimneys and Vents,

and fully understand the safe installation and operat-
ing procedures. The more you understand the way 
your Regency Insert operates, the more enjoyment 
you will experience from knowing that your unit is 
operating at peak performance.

7.

must be clearly stated in the installation manual and 
appropriate markings. Final approval is contingent
