F2450M Regency Freestanding Woodstove
installation
1. Please read this entire manual before you install
and use your new woodstove. Failure to follow
instructions may result in property damage,
bodily injury or even death. Be aware that local
Codes and Regulations may override some
items in this manual. Check with your local
inspector.
2. Select a position for your Regency Stove. Consult
the minimum clearance chart for your model
and set the stove in place. For installation use
listed double wall connector systems only.
3. To insure vertical alignment, suspend a plumb
bob from the ceiling over the exact center of
your stove flue and mark a spot on the ceiling
to indicate the center of the chimney.
4. Check that the area above the ceiling is clear
for cutting. Re-confirm the clearance from the
stove to combustibles to ensure that they are
within the prescribed limits.
5. This woodstove must be connected to a UL
103 HT (ULC S629) listed chimney or a code
approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.
Space heater is to be connected to a factory
built chimney conforming to CAN/ULC-5629
standard for 650C factory built chimneys. The
chimney requirement is 6", refer to appropriate
sections in this manual for specifics.
6. Install chimney according to chimney manu-
facturers instructions. The performance of your
woodstove is governed to a very large part by
the chimney system. Too short a chimney can
cause difficult start-up, dirty glass, back smok-
ing when door is open, and even reduced heat
output.
Too tall a chimney may prompt excessive draft
which can result in very short burn times and
excessive heat output. The use of an inexpensive
flue pipe damper may be helpful in reducing
excessive draft.
CAUTION
: The chimney should be the same
size as the 6" flue outlet on the stove. The chim-
ney must be listed as suitable for use with solid
fuels. For other types of chimneys check with
your local building code officials. Do not confuse
a chimney with a type “B” Venting System used
for gas appliances as suitable for a wood burning
appliance. For Mobile Home installations refer
to that section within this manual.
7.
Mark the location of the pedestal base or legs
on the floor, then move the stove aside and
mark the position of the floor protector.
8. The floor protector must be of non-combustible
material and must extend 16" (406mm) (USA
)in front of the door opening and 8" (203mm)
to the sides and rear of the unit. Some areas
may require a larger size floor protector. See
your local inspector. For outside air installation
refer to Mobile Home installation instructions
within this manual.
11. For residential installations 6" (single wall OK)
double wall chimney, the chimney connector
must be at least 24 gauge steel. Do not use
galvanized pipe. For Mobile Home installation
refer to the Mobile Home installation instructions
within this manual.
12.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIM-
NEY SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
13. A chimney connector cannot pass through an
attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed
space, or a floor, ceiling, wall or partition of
combustible construction. In Canada, if pas-
sage through a wall, or partition of combustible
construction is desired, the installation shall
conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code
for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equip-
ment.
14.
Your Regency Woodstove is not to be con-
nected to any air distribution duct.
CAUTION:
Do not alter or makeshift chimney or install.
Install as per Manual.
NOTE: In Canada, floor protection
must extend 18" (450mm)
to the front and 8" (203mm)
to each side and back of the
stove.

Modular Part
See the Minimum Clearance to Combustible Materials chart in the Installation section of this manual
F2450M Airmate OR
Rear Heat Deflector
Convection heat with Airmate vs. Radiant Heat with Rear Heat Deflector. The Airmate pushes heat forward out into the
room, the Rear Heat Deflector deflects the heat upward. Refer to the Installation sections within this manual.
OPTIONS :
Blower/ Fan
Adding the blower will increase the area heated by the stove, it can move warm air beyond the room where the stove
Ash Drawer Kit
Adding the Ash Drawer Kit makes cleaning ashes out of the stove easier and cleaner (refer to Bottom Shield Ash
Drawer Kit, Installation section)
Outside Air Kit
Allows outside combustion air to enter firebox
Bottom heat shield + legs
Used instead of pedestal
Pedestal

9. When the floor protection is complete, position
the stove with the flue collar centered under the
installed chimney.
10. In areas with frequent seismic activity, Regency
recommends that your unit is secured to the
floor by using the bolt down holes inside the
pedestal (the same ones used in Mobile Home
installations).
IMPORTANT:
During the first few fires, a white film may de-
velop on the glass front as part of the curing
process.
The glass should be cleaned
or
the film will bake on and become very difficult
to remove. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and
NEVER
clean the glass while it is hot.
