BRICK
INSTALLATION
Firebrick comes installed in each heater and is
made to extend the life of your heater and to
radiate heat more evenly.
Important: Remove the packing material from
above and below the top bricks. Check to see
that all firebricks are in their correct positions and
have not become misaligned during shipping.
SAFETY GUIDELINES AND
WARNINGS
1) Never use petrol, petrol type lantern fuels,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or similar
liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in your
heater. Keep all such liquids well away from
the heater while it is in use.
2) Keep the door closed during operation and
maintain all seals in good condition.
3) Do not burn any quantities of paper, garbage,
and never burn flammable fluids such as
petrol, naptha or engine oil in your heater.
4) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
5) Do not overfire heater. If the flue connector,
flue baffle or the heater top begin to glow,
you are overfiring. Stop adding fuel and
close the draft control. Overfiring can cause
extensive damage to your heater including
warpage and premature steel corrosion.
Overfiring will void your warranty.
6) Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in
the flue system. Check and clean flue at
regular intervals. Failure to do so can result
in a serious flue fire.
7) Your Regency heater can be very hot. You
may be seriously burned if you touch the
heater while it is operating, keep children,
clothing and furniture away. Warn children
of the burn hazard. For safety reasons a
guard around the fire is recommended.
8) The heater consumes air while operating,
provide adequate ventilation with an air duct
or open a window while the heater is in use.
9) Do not use grates or andirons or other
methods for supporting fuel. Burn directly
on the base or bricks where supplied.
10) Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15
seconds prior to slowly opening the door
when refuelling the fire.
11) Do not connect your unit to any air distribu-
tion duct.
12) Your wood fire should burn dry, standard
firewood only. The use of cut timber, ply -
wood, “mill ends”, etc. is not allowed as this
fuel can easily overheat your wood fire.
Evidence of excessive overheating will void
your warranty. As well, a large portion of
sawmill waste is chemically treated timber,
which is illegal to burn in many areas. Salt
drift wood and chemically treated fire logs
also must not be burned in your wood fire.
13) DO NOT OPERATE WITH BROKEN
GLASS.
