RESIDENTIAL
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 close
clearance installation use listed double wall
connector systems.
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 insure 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.
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
chimney 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-combus-
tible material and must extend 16" (406mm)
in front of the door opening and 6" (152mm)
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.
9)
When the floor protection is complete, posi-
tion the stove with the flue collar centered
under the installed chimney.
10)
In areas of seismic activity, Regency rec-
ommends 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).
11)
For residential installations using 6" "C"
Vent (single wall) the chimney connector
must be at least 24 gauge steel. Do not use
galvanized pipe. For Mobile Home installa-
tion refer to the Mobile Home installation
instructions within this manual.
12)
Do not connect this unit to a chimney
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 passage 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 Equipment.
14)
Your Regency Woodstove is not to be con-
nected to any air distribution duct.
Emissions from burning wood or gas
could contain chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
NOTE: In Canada, floor protection must
extend 18" (450mm) to the front
and 8" (200mm) to each side and
back of the stove.
MODULAR INSTALLATION OPTIONS
WARNING: ONLY USE SPECIFIED COMPONENTS.
The following items are required when assembling your Regency Stove. F2400 unit - the Rear Heat Deflector is supplied with the stove, but if you choose
not to use it you must use the Airmate instead.
Modular Part
Clearances are different. Generally you can get closer clearances with the airmate than with the rear heat deflector.
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.
Pedestal or Legs
There are no performance differences with either the pedestal or legs. It is primarily a personal preference. Legs can
be either painted steel or painted cast.
Leg installation requires the bottom shield.
OPTIONS: These can be installed at time of installation or added later:
Blower/Fan
Adding the blower will increase the area heated by the stove, it can move warm air beyond the room where the stove
is located.
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).
Screen Door
A simple add-on option that will allow you to enjoy the sound, warmth and view of an open fire.
