Regency Gosford Freestanding Wood Fire
MAINTENANCE
9) During the fi rst few days it may be more
diffi cult to start the fi re. As you dry out your
fi rebrick and your masonry fl ue, your draft
will increase.
10) For those units installed at higher elevations
or into sub-standard masonry fi replaces,
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 fi re 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
suffi cient for the purpose. If you also have
a fi replace 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, fl ue baffl e
or any part of the chimney connector starts
to glow, you are overfi ring. 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 fi re.
Once all moisture has been removed, the
draft control may be adjusted to maintain
the fi re.
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 fi re to adjust
before fully opening the door.
16) The controls of your unit or the air supply
passages should not be altered to increase
fi ring for any reason.
17) If you burn the unit too slowly or at too low
a setting your unit will not be operating as
effi ciently as it can. An easy rule of thumb
says that if your glass is clean, then your
fl ue 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 fl ue 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 chimney fl ue of a slow burning fi re. As a
result, creosote residue accumulates on the fl ue
lining. When ignited, this creosote can result
in an extremely hot fi re.
WARNING: Things to remember in case
of a chimney fi re:
1. Close all draft and damper controls.
2. CALL THE FIRE AUTHORITY.
Ways to Prevent and Keep Unit
Free of Creosote
1) Burn stove with the draft control wide open
for about 10-15 minutes every morning
during burning season.
2) Burn stove 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 other-
wise 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 fi re is preferable to a large
smouldering one that can deposit creosote
within the system.
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
fi replace stove, including burning seasoned
wood and maintaining a clean stove and chim-
ney 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 stove require no
lubrication.
5) The chimney and chimney connector should
be inspected at least once every two months
during the heating season to determine is a
creosote buildup has occurred.
6) Have chimney system and unit cleaned
by competent chimney sweeps twice a
year during the fi rst year of use and at
least once a year thereafter or when a
signifi cant layer of creosote has accu-
mulated (3 mm/1/8" or more) it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney
fi re.
GLASS MAINTENANCE
Your Regency stove is supplied with 5mm
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
instructions for replacement.
Allow the stove to cool down before cleaning
the glass, do not clean the glass when it is hot.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
