SAFETY GUIDELINES AND
WARNINGS
1)
Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuels,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or similar liquids
to start or ‘freshen up’ a
fi
re 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
fl
ammable
fl
uids such as gasoline,
naptha or engine oil in your stove. Some fuels
(eg. charcoal) can give off CO2, which is harmful
and can cause sickness.
4)
If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
5)
Do not over
fi
re heater. If the chimney connector,
fl
ue baf
fl
e or the stove top begin to glow, you are
over
fi
ring. Stop adding fuel and close the draft
control. Over
fi
ring can cause extensive damage
to your stove including warpage and premature
steel corrosion. Over
fi
ring will void your warranty.
Do not operated stove with access panes, doors
or windows open.
6)
Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in the
chimney system. Check and clean chimney at
regular intervals. Failure to do so can result in
a serious chimney
fi
re.
7)
Your Regency stove can be very hot. You may be
seriously burned if you touch the stove while it is
operating, keep children, clothing and furniture
away. Warn children of the burn hazard.
8)
The stove consumes air while operating, provide
adequate ventilation with an air duct or open a
window while the stove is in use.

fl
ue

10)
Do not use grates or andirons or other methods
for supporting fuel. Burn directly on the bricks.
11)
Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15 seconds
prior to slowly opening the door when refuelling
the
fi
re.
12)

duct.
13)
Your woodstove must burn dry, seasoned-
standard
fi
rewood only. The use of cut
lumber, plywood, “mill ends”, coal, charcoal
etc. is prohibited as this fuel can easily over-
heat your woodstove. Evidence of excessive
overheating will void your warranty. As well,
a large portion of sawmill waste is chemically
treated lumber, which is illegal to burn in many
areas. Salt drift wood, chemically treated
fi
re
logs and wet/green wood also must not be
burned in your woodstoves.
14)
Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet from
your unit. Do not place wood, paper, furniture,
drapes or other combustibles near the appli-
ance. House

re and property damage may
result if combustible items are stored within
the required clearances.
15) WARNING: Do not operate without either
the Ash Plug properly seated or the Ash
Dump Plates screwed in place, excessive
temperatures will result.
16)
Do not operate unit with broken glass.
17)

or striking.
18)
Caution:
Do not build a
fi
re too close to the
glass as soot and creosote will be created.
TO REMOVE THE FAN:
Reverse Steps 5-2 in fan installation section.
Maintenance:
The sealed bearings are lubricat-
ed, there is no need to lubricate them further. (Ex-
tra lubricant will cause more lint and dust buildup
- causing the bearings to prematurely fail).
Regular cleaning and vacuuming of the fan area
will add to the life of the motor.
IMPORTANT:
These fans collect a lot of dust from within your
home. Ensure you maintain these fan motors
on a regular basis by vacuuming the fan blades
and housing using a soft brush nozzle.
