OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
16.
The controls of your unit or the air supply pas-
sages should not be altered to increase firing
for any reason.
17.
If you burn the unit too slowly or at too low a set-
ting your unit will not be operating as efficiently
as it can. An easy rule of thumb says that if
your glass is clean, catalytic thermostat is ac-
tive, then your flue is clean and your exhaust is
clean. Burn the stove hot enough to keep your
glass clean and catalytic combustor ,you won't
need to clean your flue as often.
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.
Route power cord to either left or right behind unit.
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.
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.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
AND WARNINGS
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS FOR FLUIDS
TO START FIRE.
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 flue 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 warping and
premature steel corrosion.
Over firing will void
your warranty.
6.
Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in the
flue system. Check and clean flue at regular
intervals. Failure to do so can result in a serious
flue 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 flue 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.
This heater is designed to burn natural wood
only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions
generally result when burning air dried sea-
soned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods
or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
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.
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.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP
CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNI-
TURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE
SKIN BURNS.
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.
