INSTALLATION
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To build a fire in igno-
rance or to disregard the information
contained in this section can cause
serious permanent damage to the unit
and void your warranty!!
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
With your unit now correctly installed you are now
ready to start a fire. Before establishing your
first fire, it is important that you fully understand
the operation of your Catalytic combustor and
draft control.
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.
IMPORTANT
FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and inspected
you are ready for your first fire.
THIS UNIT IS DESIGNED TO BURN SEASONED
HARDWOOD ONLY. COAL AND BRIQUETTES
ARE NOT APPROVED.
1. Open the catalytic by-pass control fully.
(Handle facing forward)
2. Open firebox door and build a small fire using
paper and dry kindling on the firebrick base,
DO NOT USE A GRATE Secure door on the
firebox and 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 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 catalytic by-pass damper 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. The temperature in the stove and the gases
entering the combustor must reach between
260˚
C
- 370˚
C
for catalytic activity to start. From
the start up of a cold stove, a medium to high
firing rate must be maintained for 30min. This
ensures that the stove, catalyst and fuel are
all stabilized at proper operating temperatures.
Even though it is possible to have temperatures
at 315˚
C within minutes after a fire has been
started, if the fire is allowed to die down imme-
diately it may go out or the combustor may stop
working. Once the combustor starts working,
heat generated in it by burning the smoke will
keep it working. During re-fueling and rekindling
of the cool fire, or a fire that has burned down
to the charcoal phase, operate the stove at a
medium to high firing rate for about 10 minutes
to ensure that the catalyst reaches operating
temperatures
WARNING: Never build a roaring fire in
a cold stove. Always warm your stove
up slowly!
5.
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.
6. 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 tem-
porary condition exists. Burning the stove at a

DRAFT CONTROL
Both the primary and air wash drafts are controlled
by the control slide located on the front left side of
the unit (when facing the unit). To increase your draft
- slide to the left to open, and to decrease - slide to
the right closed. The F5102 unit has a secondary
draft system that continually allows combustion air
to the induction ports at the top of the firebox, just
in front of the catalytic combustor.
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance
up through the flue. The amount of draft in your flue
depends on the length of the flue, local geography,
nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much
draft may cause excessive temperatures in the ap-
pliance and may damage the catalytic combustor.
Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into the
room and plugging of the flue or catalyst.
very high temperature the first few times may
damage the paint. Burn fires at a moderate level
the first few days.
7. Do not place anything on the stove top during
the curing process. This may result in damage
to your paint finish.
8. 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.
9.
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.
10. Some cracking and popping noises may be
experienced during the heating up process.
These noises will be minimal when your unit
reaches temperature.
11. 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 flue.
If this occurs, slightly open a window near your
unit.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit, or
any part of the flue connector starts to
glow, you are over firing. Stop loading
fuel immediately and close the draft
control until the glow has completely
subsided.
12. 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.
13. If operating your fire on MED to HIGH setting, it
is recommended to keep the bypass door open
initially after loading . When operating the fire
on
LOW ,or overnight burn position, ensure the
bypass door is always closed.
