operating instructions

ficult to start the fire. As you dry out your 

firebrick and your masonry flue, your draft 

will increase.

10)

 For those units installed at higher elevations 

or  into  sub-standard  masonry  fireplaces, 

drafting problems may occur. Consult an 

experienced dealer or mason on methods 

of increasing your draft.

11) 

Some cracking and popping noises may be 

experienced during the heating up process. 

These noises will be minimal when your unit 

reaches temperature.

12)

 Before opening your door to reload, open 

draft fully for approximately 10 to 15 seconds 

until fire has been re-established. This will 

minimize any smoking.

13)

 All fuel burning appliances consume oxygen 

during operation.  It is important that you 

supply a source of fresh air to your unit 

while burning. A slightly opened window is 

sufficient for the purpose.  If you also have 

a fireplace in your home, a downdraft may 

be created by your Regency Stove causing 

a draft down your chimney. If this occurs, 

slightly open a window near your unit.

CAUTION:  If the body of your unit, 

flue baffle or any part of the chim

-

ney connector starts to glow, you 

are over firing.  Stop loading fuel 

immediately and close the draft con

-

trol until the glow has completely 

subsided.

14) 

Green or wet wood is not recommended for 

your unit.  If you must add wet or green fuel, 

open the draft control fully until all moisture 

has  been  dispersed  by  the  intense  fire.  

Once all moisture has been removed, the 

draft control may be adjusted to maintain 

the fire.

15)

 If you have been burning your stove on a low 

draft, use caution when opening the door.  

After opening the damper, open the door 

a crack, and allow the fire to adjust before 

fully opening the door.

16)

 The controls of your unit or the air supply 

passages should not be altered to increase 

firing for any reason.

17)

 If you burn the unit too slowly or at too low 

a setting your unit will not be operating as 

efficiently as it can.  An easy rule of thumb 

says that if your glass is clean, then your flue 

is clean and your exhaust is clean.  Burn the 

stove hot enough to keep your glass clean 

and you won't need to clean your flue as 

often.

4)

  After about 45 minutes, when your wood has 

begun to burn strongly, adjust your draft control 

down to keep the fire at a moderate level.

 

WARNING:  Never build a roaring fire 

in a cold stove.  Always warm your 

stove up slowly!

5)

  Once a bed of coals has been established on 

the firebrick hearth, you may adjust the draft 

control to a low setting to operate the unit at 

its most efficient mode.

6)

  During the first few fires, keep the combustion 

rate at a moderate level and avoid a large fire. 

Only after 5 or 6 such fires can you operate 

the stove at its maximum setting, and only 

after the metal has been warmed.

7)

  For the first few days, the stove will give off an 

odour from the paint. This is to be expected 

as the high temperature paint becomes sea-

soned. Windows and/or doors should be left 

open to provide adequate ventilation while 

this temporary condition exists. Burning the 

stove at a very high temperature the first few 

times may damage the paint. Burn fires at a 

moderate level the first few days.

8)

  Do not place anything on the stove top during 

the curing process. This may result in damage 

to your paint finish.

9)

  During the first few days it may be more dif

WARNING:  To build a fire in ignorance 

or  to  disregard  the  information  con

-

tained in this section can cause serious 

permanent damage to the unit and void 

your warranty!!

DRAFT CONTROL

Both the primary and air wash drafts are control

-

led by the control rod located on the left side 

of the unit (when facing the unit). To increase 

your draft - pull open, and to decrease - push 

closed.  All units have a secondary draft system 

that continually allows combustion air to the 

induction  ports  at  the  top  of  the  firebox,  just 

below the flue baffle.  

Important:

  If you are using room air for combus-

tion, make sure that the back cover plate at the 

rear of the pedestal is not installed.  The cover 

plate must be installed on the unit if your stove 

is located in a mobile home or if using outside 

air from the bottom.

OPERATING  
INSTRUCTIONS

With your unit now correctly installed and safety 

inspected by your local authority, you are now 

ready to start a fire.  Before establishing your 

first fire, it is important that you fully understand 

the operation of your draft control.

WARNING

Fireplace Stoves equipped with doors 

should be operated only with doors fully 

open or doors fully closed. If doors are 

left partly open, gas and flame may be 

drawn out of the fireplace stove open

-

ing, creating risks from both fire and 

smoke.

When operated with doors open the 

manufacturer  supplied  screen  must 

be used.

FIRST FIRE

When your installation is completed and inspected 

you are ready for your first fire.

1)

  Open control fully.

2)

  Open firebox door and build a small fire us

-

ing  paper  and  dry  kindling  on  the  firebrick 

hearth.  Secure door on the firebox and wait 

a few minutes for a good updraft in the flue to 

establish the fire.  (Leaving the door slightly 

open will help your fire start more rapidly.)

  CAUTION:  Never leave unit unattended 

if door is left open.  This procedure 

is for fire start-up only, as unit may 

overheat if door is left open for too 

long.

3)

  With the draft still in the fully open position 

add two or three seasoned logs to your  fire. 

Form a trench in the ash bed to allow air to 

reach the rear of the firebox prior to closing 

the door.
