SAFETY GUIDELINES
AND WARNINGS
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER
Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed
heater design specifications can result in permanent
damage to the heater.
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 any quantities of paper, garbage,
and never burn flammable fluids such as
gasoline, naptha or engine oil in your stove.
4)
If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
5)
Do not overfire heater. If the chimney connector,
flue baffle or the stove top begin to glow, you
are over firing. Stop adding fuel and close the
draft control. Over firing can cause extensive
damage to your stove including warpage and
premature steel corrosion. Over firing will void
your warranty.
6)
Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in the
chimney system. Check and clean chimney at
regular intervals. Failure to do so can result in
a serious chimney fire.
7)
Your Regency stove can be very hot. You may be
seriously burned if you touch the stove while it is
operating, keep children, clothing and furniture
away. Warn children of the burn hazard.
8)
The stove consumes air while operating, provide
adequate ventilation with an air duct or open a
window while the stove is in use.
9)
Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving
another appliance.
10)
Do not use grates or andirons or other methods
for supporting fuel. Burn directly on the bricks.
11)
Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15 seconds
prior to slowly opening the door when refuelling
the fire.
12)
Do not connect your unit to any air distribution
duct.
13)
Your woodstove should burn dry, standard
firewood only. The use of cut lumber, plywood,
“mill ends”, etc. is not allowed as this fuel can
easily overheat your woodstove. Evidence of
excessive overheating will void your warranty. As
well, a large portion of sawmill waste is chemi-
cally treated lumber, which is illegal to burn in
many areas. Salt drift wood and chemically
treated fire logs also must not be burned in your
woodstoves.
14)
Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet from your
unit. Do not place wood, paper, furniture, drapes
or other combustibles near the appliance.
15) WARNING: Do not operate without
either the Ash Plug properly seated or
the Ash Dump Plates screwed in place,
excessive temperatures will result.
16)
Do not operate with broken glazing.
CAUTION
: Warranty will be void if any make shift
compromises are used during installation.
CAUTION
: Do not connect to, or use in conjunction
with, any air distribution duct work, unless specifi-
cally approved for such installations.
CAUTION
: Poor performance, smoke spill-
age, incorrect chimney location, can be
possible effects of room air starvation, ic-
ing and exhaust fans. Ensure adequate
ventilation and correct chimney location.
CAUTION:
Certain fuels, such as charcoal and wet
wood, can crate the possibility of generating
carbon monoxide (CO). CO is a dangerous by
product hat is odourless and can cause seri-
ous injury.
ASH DISPOSAL
During constant use, ashes should be removed
every few days. The Ash Drawer option features
a convenient ash dump for easy removal of ash,
refer to Modular Installation Options section.
Safety Precautions
1)
Do not allow ashes to build up to the loading
doors! Only remove ashes when the fire has
died down. Even then, expect to find a few
hot embers.
2)
Please take care to prevent the build-up of ash
around the start-up air housing located inside
the stove box, under the loading door lip.
3)
Never start a fire if the ash plug and ash
drawer are not in place. This will cause over
firing which can cause excessive warping of
the stove. Evidence of over firing can void the
warranty on your stove.
4)
The firebricks are brittle and can be damaged
if the plug is replaced carelessly or pieces that
are too large are forced through the hole.
Ash Drawer Operating Guideline
1)
Only clean ashes out of the stove when the
unit has cooled down. Remove the plug by
lifting on the handle using the tool provided.
The plug may still be warm, use caution. Push
the ashes down the hole into the ash drawer,
the large pieces can be left in the firebox and
burned during the next fire or removed through
the door opening.
2)
Always leave 1/2 to 1 inch of ash in the bottom
of the firebox. This helps in easier starting and
a more uniform burn of your fire. Replace ash
plug when ashes have been removed.
3)
Pedestal Units:
To remove the drawer, lift slightly and slide it
out. When the drawer is completely out, slide
the cover plate over the ash drawer and carry
away.
Bottom Shield (with Legs) Units:
To remove the drawer, lift slightly and slide it
out, and carry it away.
4)
When emptying the ash drawer, make sure
the ashes are cold. Ashes should be placed
in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on
a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well
away from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by
burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until
all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste
should not be placed in the ash container.
5)
Before putting the ash drawer back into place,
make sure the ash plug is back in place.
Pedestal Units: make sure the cover lid is off.
FAN OPERATION
Automatic
To operate the fan automatically, push the bottom
switch on the side of the fan housing to "AUTO"
and the top switch to either "HIGH" or "LOW" for
fan speed.
This will allow the fan to turn on as the stove has
come up to operating temperature. It will also shut
the fan system off after the fire has gone out and
the unit cooled to below a useful heat output range.
Manual
To manually operate the fan system push the bottom
switch to "MAN" and the top switch to either "HIGH"
or "LOW". This will bypass the sensing device and
allow full control of the fan.
Switching from "AUTO" to "MAN" or "HIGH" to
"LOW" may be done anytime.
