Regency Freestanding Woodstove

INSTALLATION
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
fl
ue 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-con
fi
rm 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
fl
ue 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 dif
fi
cult start-up, dirty
glass, backsmoking 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
fl
ue pipe
damper may be helpful in reducing excessive
draft.
CAUTION
: The chimney should be the same
size as the 6"
fl
ue 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 of
fi
cials.
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 on page 14.
7)
Mark the location of the pedestal base or legs
on the
fl
oor, then move the stove aside and
mark the position of the
fl
oor protector.
8)
The
fl
oor protector must be of non-combus-
tible material and must extend 16" in front
of the door opening and 6" to the sides and
rear of the unit. Some areas may require
a larger size
fl
oor protector. See your local
inspector. For outside air installation refer
to Mobile Home installation instructions on
page 14.
9)
When
the
fl
oor protection is complete, posi-
tion the stove with the
fl
ue collar centered
under the installed chimney.
10)
In seismically active areas, Regency rec-
ommends that your unit is secured to the
fl
oor by using the bolt down holes inside
the pedestal (the same ones used in Mobile
Home installations).
11)
For residential installations using 6" (152mm)
"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 on page 14.
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
fl
oor, ceiling, wall
or partition of combustible construction. In
Canada, if passage through a wall, or parti-
tion of combustible construction is desired,
the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-
B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burn-
ing 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, fl oor protection must
extend 18" (450mm) to the front and
8" (200mm) to each side and back
of the stove.
MODULAR INSTALLATION OPTIONS
Modular Part
Things to consider when choosing options:
Modular Option
Blower/Fan
Ash Drawer Kit
Screen Door
OPTIONS: These can be installed at time of installation or added later:
Airmate OR
Rear Heat Defl ector
Pedestal OR
Legs
Things to consider when choosing options
The following items are required when assembling your Regency Stove. F2402M unit - the Rear Heat De
fl
ector is supplied with the stove, but if
you choose not to use it you must use the Airmate instead.
Clearances are different. Generally you can get closer clearances with the airmate than with the rear heat de
fl
ector.
Convection heat with Airmate vs. Radiant Heat with Rear Heat De
fl
ector. The airmate pushes heat forward and into
the room, the rear heat de
fl
ector de
fl
ects the heat upward.
There are no performance differences with either the pedestal or legs. It is primarily a personal preference. Legs can
be either painted steel, painted cast, or gold plated cast.
Leg installation requires the bottom shield.
Adding the blower will increase the area heated by the stove, it can move warm air beyond the room where the stove
is installed.
Adding the Ash Drawer Kit makes cleaning ashes out of the stove easier and cleaner.
A simple add-on option that will allow you to enjoy the sound, warmth and view of an open
fi
re.
