operating instructions
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 unattended
if door is left open. This procedure is for
fire start-up only, as unit may overheat 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.
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 at its most efficient
mode.
6) During the first few fires, keep the combustion
rate at a moderate level and avoid a large
fire. Only after 5 or 6 such fires can you
operate the stove at its maximum setting,
and only after the metal has been warmed.
7) For the first few days, the stove will give off an
odour 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. Burn -
ing the stove 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 stove top dur-
ing the curing process. This may result in
damage to your paint finish.
9) During the first few days it may be more
difficult to start the fire. As you dry out your
firebrick and your masonry flue, your draft
will increase.
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.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
With your unit now correctly installed and safety
inspected by your local authority, you are now
ready to start a fire. Before establishing your
first fire, it is important that you fully understand
the operation of your draft control.
Pull - Open Push - Closed
WARNING: To build a fire in ignorance or
to disregard the information contained in
this section can cause serious permanent
damage to the unit and void your warranty!!
FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and in-
spected you are ready for your first fire.
1) Open control fully.
2) Open firebox door and build a small fire
using paper and dry kindling. Secure door
on the firebox and wait a few minutes for a
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 Stove causing
a draft down your chimney. If this occurs,
slightly open a window near your unit.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit,
flue baffle or any part of the chim -
ney connector starts to glow, you
are overfiring. Stop loading fuel
immediately and close the draft con -
trol 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 stove 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
stove hot enough to keep your glass clean
and you won't need to clean your flue as
often.
NOTE: If using a smoke detector, select an
area in the room where the appliance
is located that will not prematurely set
off the smoke detector.
WARNING
Fireplace Stoves equipped with doors
should be operated only with doors fully
closed. If doors are left partly open,
gas and flame may be drawn out of the
fireplace stove opening, creating risks
from both fire and smoke.
When operated with doors open the
manufacturer supplied screen must
be used.
DRAFT CONTROL
Both the primary and air wash drafts are control -
led by the control rod located on the left side
of the unit (when facing the unit). To increase
your draft - pull open, and to decrease - push
closed. All units have a secondary draft system
that continually allows combustion air to the
induction ports at the top of the firebox, just
below the flue baffle.
Important: If you are using room air for com-
bustion, make sure that the back cover plate
at the rear of the pedestal is not installed. The
cover plate must be installed on the unit if your
stove is located in a mobile home or if using
outside air.
