your model and set the stove in place. For
close clearance installation use listed double
wall connector systems.

bob from the ceiling over the exact center
of your stove flue and mark a spot on the
ceiling to indicate the center of the chimney.
5)
Check that the area above the ceiling is clear
for cutting. Re-confirm the clearance from

INSTALLATION
SAFETY GUIDELINES
AND WARNINGS
1)
Never use petrol, petrol 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
petrol, 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 con
-
nector, flue baffle or the stove top 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 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. For safety reasons a
guard around the fire is recommended.
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 base or bricks where supplied.
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 distribu-
tion duct.
13)
Your wood fire should burn dry, standard
firewood only. The use of cut timber, ply
-
wood, “mill ends”, etc. is not allowed as this
fuel can easily overheat your wood fire.
Evidence of excessive overheating will void
your warranty. As well, a large portion of
sawmill waste is chemically treated timber,
which is illegal to burn in many areas. Salt
drift wood and chemically treated fire logs
also must not be burned in your wood fire.
14)
No combustible material should be closer
than the clearances as specified on page
7.
15)
DO NOT OPERATE WITH BROKEN
GLASS.
even reduced heat output. Too tall a chimney
may prompt excessive draft which can re-
sult in very short burn times and excessive
heat output.
8)
The floor protector must be of non-com
-
bustible material. Refer to page 7 for floor
protector clearances.
9)
When the floor protection is complete, posi
-
tion the stove with the flue collar centered
under the installed chimney.
10)
In seismically active areas, Regency recom-
mends that your unit is secured to the floor
by using the bolt down holes inside the
pedestal.
11)
Do not connect this unit to a chimney
serving another appliance.
BRICK & CAST
INSTALLATION
Insert the rear cast plate first and then the side
plates ensuring the cut out sections lock in firmly.
The bricks can then be placed on the base of the
firebox between the cast side and rear plates.
Firebrick is included to extend the life of your
stove and radiate heat more evenly.
