operating instructions
FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and in-
spected, you are ready for your first fire.
1) Open draft control fully.
2) Open firebox door and build a small fire using
paper and dry kindling on the firebrick hearth,
wait a few minutes for a good updraft in the
flue to establish the fire. Leaving the door
slightly open will help your fire start more
rapidly.
CAUTION: Never leave unit unat-
tended if door is left open. This
procedure is for fire start-up only,
as unit may over-heat if door is left
open for too long.
3) With the draft still in the fully open position,
add two or three seasoned logs to your fire.
Form a trench in the ash bed to allow air to
reach the rear of the firebox prior to closing
the door.
SAFETY
GUIDELINES
1)
Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern
fuels, kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or
similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire
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 large quantities of paper in your
insert.
4) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
5) Do not overfire your insert.
Attempts to
achieve heat output rates that exceed heater
design specifications can result in permanent
damage to the heater. If the insert begin to
glow, you are overfiring. Stop adding fuel and
close the draft control. Overfiring can cause
extensive damage to your stove including
warpage and premature steel corrosion.
Overfiring will void your warranty.
6)
Do not permit creosote or soot buildup in the
chimney system. Check and clean chimney
at regular intervals.
7) Your Regency Insert can be very hot. You
may be seriously burned if you touch the
insert while it is operating. Warn children
of the burn hazard.
8) The insert consumes air while operating,
provide adequate ventilation with an air duct
or open a window while the insert is in use.
9) Do not use grates, irons or other methods for
supporting fuel. Burn directly on the bricks.
10) Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15
seconds prior to slowly opening the door
when refuelling the fire.
11)
Do not connect your unit to any air distribu-
tion duct.
12) Your insert should burn dry, standard fire -
wood only. The use of “mill ends” is discour-
aged as this fuel can easily overheat your
insert. Evidence of excessive overheating
will void your warranty. As well, a large por-
tion of sawmill waste is chemically treated
lumber, which is illegal to burn in many areas.
Chemically treated fire logs also must not
be burned in your insert.
WARNING
Fireplace Stoves equipped with doors
should be operated only with doors fully
open or doors fully closed. If doors are
left partly open, gas and flame may be
drawn out of the fireplace stove open -
ing, creating risks from both fire and
smoke.
When operated with doors open the
manufacturer supplied screen must
be used.
13)
Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet from
your unit.
14) Do not burn salt drift wood as it will corrode
your unit and void the warranty.
15) Do not operate the unit if the glass is broken
or missing. Do not operate the unit if the
gasketing is worn out and not sealing the
door or the glass.
It is very important to carefully maintain your
insert, including burning seasoned wood and
maintaining a clean stove and chimney system.
Have the chimney cleaned before the burning
season and as necessary during the season, as
creosote deposits may build up rapidly. Moving
parts of your insert require no lubrication.
How to Light & Maintain a Wood Stove Fire
4) After about 15 to 20 minutes, when your wood
has begun to burn strongly, adjust your draft
control down to keep the fire at a moderate
level.
WARNING: Never build a roaring fire
in a cold stove. Always warm your
stove up slowly!
5) Once a bed of coals has been established, you
may adjust the draft control to a low setting to
operate the unit in its most efficient mode.
6) During the first couple of hours, keep the com -
bustion rate at a moderate level and avoid a
large fire until the paint is cured. Only then can
you operate the insert at its maximum setting,
and only after the metal has been warmed.
7) For the first few hours, the insert will give off
an odor from the paint. This is to be expected
as the high temperature paint becomes
seasoned. Windows and/or doors should
be left open to provide adequate ventilation
while this temporary condition exists. Burning
the insert at a very high temperature the
first few times may damage the paint. Burn
fires at a moderate level the first few days.
8) Do not place anything on the insert top
during the curing process. This may result
in damage to your paint finish.
