INSTALLATION
Regency Inserts are constructed with the high-
est quality materials and assembled under strict
quality control procedures that ensure years of
trouble free and reliable performance.
It is important that you read this manual thor-
oughly and fully understand the safe instal-
lation and operating procedures. The more
you understand the way your Regency Insert
operates, the more enjoyment you will experi-
ence from knowing that your unit is operating
at peak performance.
BEFORE INSTALLING
YOUR INSERT
1)
Please read this entire manual before you
install and use your new wood insert. Failure
to follow instructions may result in property
damage, bodily injury or even death. Install
and use only in accordance with manufactur-
er’s installation and operating instructions.
2)
Check your local building codes - Building
Inspection Department. You may require
a permit before installing your insert. Be
aware that local codes and regulations may
override some items in the manual.
WARNING: Careless installation is the
major cause of safety hazard. Check all
local building and safety codes before
installation of unit.
3)
Notify your home insurance company that
you plan to install a fi replace insert or hearth
heater.
4)
Your fi replace insert is heavy and requires
two or more people to move it safely. The
insert can be badly damaged by mishan-
dling.
5)
If your existing fi replace damper control
will become inaccessible once you have
installed your Regency Insert, you should
either remove or secure it in the open posi-
tion.
6)
Inspect your fi replace and chimney prior
to installing your insert to determine that it
is free from cracks, loose mortar or other
signs of damage. If repairs are required,
they should be completed before installing
your insert. Do not remove bricks or mortar
from your masonry fi replace.
7)
Do not connect the insert to a chimney
system servicing another appliance or
an air distribution duct.
CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR
FLUE-SYSTEM COMPONENTS FROM
DIFFERENT SOURCES OR MODIFYING
THE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATION OF
COMPONENTS MAY RESULT IN HAZ-
ARDOUS CONDITIONS. WHERE SUCH
ACTION IS CONSIDERED, THE MANU-
FACTURER SHOULD BE CONSULTED
IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.
3)
Re-confi rm the clearance from the insert to
combustibles to insure that they are within
the prescribed limits.
4)
Install chimney according to chimney manu-
facturers instructions. The performance of
your wood fi re is governed to a very large
part by the chimney system. Too short a
chimney can cause diffi 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.
5)
The
fl oor protector must be of non-combus-
tible material.
6)
Do not connect this unit to a chimney
serving another appliance.
