10) For those units installed at higher elevations
or into sub-standard masonry fireplaces,
drafting problems may occur. Consult an
experienced dealer or mason on methods
of increasing your draft.
11) Some cracking and popping noises may be
experienced during the heating up process.
These noises will be minimal when your unit
reaches temperature.
12) Before opening your door to reload, open
draft fully for approximately 10 to 15 seconds
until fire has been re-established. This will
minimize any smoking.
13) All fuel burning appliances consume oxygen
during operation. It is important that you
supply a source of fresh air to your unit
while burning. A slightly opened window is
sufficient for the purpose. If you also have a
fireplace in your home, a downdraft may be
created by your Regency Heater causing a
draft down your flue. If this occurs, slightly
open a window near your unit.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit, flue baffle
or any part of the flue connector starts to
glow, you are overfiring. Stop loading fuel
immediately and close the draft control until
the glow has completely subsided.
14) Green or wet wood is not recommended for
your unit. If you must add wet or green fuel,
open the draft control fully until all moisture
has been dispersed by the intense fire.
Once all moisture has been removed, the
draft control may be adjusted to maintain
the fire.
15) If you have been burning your heater on
a low draft, use caution when opening the
door. After opening the damper, open the
door a crack, and allow the fire to adjust
before fully opening the door.
16) The controls of your unit or the air supply
passages should not be altered to increase
firing for any reason.
17) If you burn the unit too slowly or at too low
a setting your unit will not be operating as
efficiently as it can. An easy rule of thumb
says that if your glass is clean, then your
flue is clean and your exhaust is clean.
Burn the heater hot enough to keep your
glass clean and you won't need to clean
your flue as often.
CREOSOTE
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and
other organic vapours, which when combined
with moisture, form creosote. The creosote
vapours condense in the relatively cool flue of a
slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited,
this creosote can result in an extremely hot fire.
WARNING: Things to remember in case
of a flue fire:
1. Close all draft and damper controls.
2. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Ways to Prevent and Keep Unit
Free of Creosote
1) Burn heater with the draft control wide open
for about 10-15 minutes every morning
during burning season.
2) Burn heater with draft control wide open
for about 10 - 15 minutes every time you
apply fresh wood. This allows the wood to
achieve the charcoal stage faster and burns
up any unburned gas vapours which might
otherwise be deposited within the system.
3) Only burn seasoned wood! Avoid burning
wet or green wood. Seasoned wood has
been dried at least one year.
4) A small hot fire is preferable to a large
smouldering one that can deposit creosote
within the system.
5) The flue and flue connector should be
WOOD STORAGE
Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or
covered with a tarp, plastic, tar paper, sheets
of scrap plywood, etc., as uncovered wood can
absorb water from rain or snow, delaying the
seasoning process.
MAINTENANCE
It is very important to carefully maintain your
fireplace insert, including burning seasoned
wood and maintaining a clean fireplace and flue
system. Have the flue cleaned before the burning
season and as necessary during the season, as
creosote deposits may build up rapidly. Moving
parts of your heater require no lubrication. The
integrity of all heater parts including baffle plates,
cast iron liners, fire bricks, air tubes, air bars,
door rope seals, and door glass is imperative
for the correct operation and longevity of your
Regency Wood heater. They should be inspected
on a regular basis and replaced if they show any
signs of undue wear or damage. Failure of any
of these componenets can damage the heater
and void warranty.
inspected at least once every two months
during the heating season to determine if a
creosote buildup has occured.
6) Have flue system and unit cleaned by
competent flue sweeps twice a year dur -
ing the first year of use and at least once
a year thereafter or when a significant
layer of creosote has accumulated (3
mm/1/8" or more) it should be removed
to reduce the risk of a flue fire.
GLASS MAINTENANCE
Your Regency heater is supplied with Neoceram
ceramic glass that will withstand the highest
heat that your unit will produce. In the event
that you break your glass by impact, purchase
your replacement from an authorized Regency
dealer only, and follow our step-by-step instruc-
tions for replacement.
Allow the heater to cool down before cleaning
the glass, do not clean the glass when it is hot.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.

ADJUSTMENT
The door latch may require adjustment as the
door gasket material compresses over time.
Follow the steps below to allow the latch to
be moved closer to the door frame, causing a
tighter seal;
1) Unscrew latching sleeve.
2) Remove allen screw.
3)
Spin door handle clockwise to desired depth.
4) Re-install allen screw and latching sleeve.
5) Adjust set screw to proper depth to ensure
that the handle does not rotate 360 degrees.
