1) Please read this entire manual before you
install and use your new wood re. Failure
to follow instructions may result in property
damage, bodily injury or even death. Be
aware that local Codes and Regulations may
override some items in this manual. Check
with your local inspector.
2) THE APPLIANCE AND FLUE-SYSTEM
SHALL BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH AS/NZS 2918:2001 AND THE AP-
PROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
RELEVANT BUILDING CODE OR CODES.
APPLIANCES INSTALLED IN ACCORD-
ANCE WITH THIS STANDARD SHALL
COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF
AS/NZS 4013 WHERE REQUIRED BY THE
REGULATORY AUTHORITY.
ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE
THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN
WRITING BY THE TESTING AUTHORITY
IS CONSIDERED TO BE IN BREACH OF
THEAPPROVAL GRANTED FOR COMPLI-
ANCE WITH AS/NZS 4013.
CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR
FLUE-SYSTEM COMPONENTS FROM
DIFFERENT SOURCES OR MODIFYING
THE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATION OF
COMPONENTS MAY RESULT IN HAZ-
ARDOUS CONDITIONS. WHERE SUCH
ACTION IS CONSIDERED, THE MANU-
FACTURER SHOULD BE CONSULTED
IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.
3) Select a position for your Regency Heater.
Consult the minimum clearance chart for
your model and set the heater in place. For
close clearance installation use listed double
wall connector systems.
4) To ensure vertical alignment, suspend a
plumb bob from the ceiling over the exact
center of your heater ue and mark a spot
on the ceiling to indicate the center of the
ue.
5) Check that the area above the ceiling is
clear for cutting. Re-conrm the clearance
from the heater to combustibles to ensure
that they are within the prescribed limits.
6) Mark the location of the pedestal base on
the oor, then move the heater aside and
mark the position of the oor protector.
7) Install ue according to ue manufacturers
instructions. The performance of your wood
re is governed to a very large part by the
ue system. Too short a ue can cause
difcult start-up, dirty glass, backsmoking
when door is open, and
RESIDENTIAL
INSTALLATION
even reduced heat output. Too tall a ue may
prompt excessive draft which can result in
very short burn times and excessive heat
output.
8) The oor protector must be of non-com-
bustible material. Refer to page 7 for oor
protector clearances.
9) When the oor protection is complete, posi-
tion the heater with the ue collar centered
under the installed ue.
10) In areas with seismic activity, Regency
recommends that your unit is secured to the
oor by using the bolt down holes inside the
pedestal.
11) Do not connect this unit to a ue serving
another appliance.
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 re 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 ammable uids such as
petrol, naptha or engine oil in your heater.
4) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
5) Do not overre heater. If the ue connector,
ue bafe or the heater top begin to glow,
you are overring. Stop adding fuel and
close the draft control. Overring can cause
extensive damage to your heater including
warpage and premature steel corrosion.
Overring will void your warranty.
6) Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in
the ue system. Check and clean ue at
regular intervals. Failure to do so can result
in a serious ue re.
7) Your Regency heater can be very hot. You
may be seriously burned if you touch the
heater while it is operating, keep children,
clothing and furniture away. Warn children
of the burn hazard. For safety reasons a
guard around the re is recommended.
8) The heater consumes air while operating,
provide adequate ventilation with an air duct
or open a window while the heater is in use.
9) Do not connect this unit to a ue 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 re.
12) Do not connect your unit to any air distribution
duct.
13) Your wood re should burn dry, standard re-
wood only. The use of cut timber, plywood, “mill
ends”, etc. is not allowed as this fuel can easily
overheat your wood re. 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
re logs also must not be burned in your wood
re.
14) No combustible material should be closer than
the clearances, see page 7.
15) DO NOT OPERATE WITH BROKEN GLASS.
CAST PLATE
INSTALLATION
Install the cast plates by placing the rear cast plate
rst and then the side plates ensuring the cut out
sections lock in rmly.

which has a thermal resistance of 0.8m2k/w for 4mm sheets of cement
bre sheet.
The ue pipe shall extend not less than 4.6m above the top of the oor protector.
NOTE: Installation must be carried out by a licensed installer in accordance
with AS/NZS 2918:2001.
IMPORTANT
* (1) The Hawkwind Standard flue kit requires one 130o x 900mm
stainless reflective shield; between the decromesh casing and ac-
tive flue.
* (2) The AHD Special Insulated flue kit must be installed with a
40mm air gap around the flue to any combustible surfaces and the
ceiling ring must be spaced as such to provide an air gap of 20mm
to the ceiling.
A 180º x 900mm stainless reflective must be fitted behind the active
flue.
NOTE: A minimum clearance of 100mm (flat wall) or 75mm (corner wall) must be retained for all wall surfaces to allow for fan access and maintenance.

Pull - Open
WARNING: To build a re in ignorance
or to disregard the information con-
tained in this section can cause serious
permanent damage to the unit and void
your warranty!!
AIR SLIDE CONTROL
Both the primary and air wash drafts are control-
led by the control rod located on the right side
of the unit (when facing the unit). To increase
your draft - pull open, and to decrease - push
closed. All units have a secondary draft system
that continually allows combustion air to the
induction ports at the top of the rebox, just
below the ue bafe.
3 SPEED
FAN OPERATION
A 3 speed fan is tted to the heater. The fan is con-
trolled by a thermodisc, and Auto / Manual switch
and a speed selection switch. The Auto / Manual
switch is mounted on the back of the pedestal. The
speed select switch is located on the right hand side
of the pedestal and has selections for fan OFF/
LOW / MED /HI. The OFF position is marked by a
red dot on the pedestal.
Manual control of the fan
Select Manual control and the fan speed will be
directly controlled by the selection of the fan speed
switch.
Automatic Control of the fan
Select Auto control of the fan and the fan will be
controlled by the selection on the fan speed switch
and the temperature of the heater. The thermodisc
in the fan circuit ensures that the heater has achieved
a high temperature before the fan can operate– this
may take 20-30 minutes. When the heater cools
down the fan will automatically turn off–this may
take 20-30 minutes.
Selection OFF on the fan speed switch will always
turn the fan off immediately.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
With your unit now correctly installed and safety
inspected by your local authority, you are now
ready to start a re. Before establishing your
rst re, it is important that you fully understand
the operation of your draft control.
CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
MAINTAINEDAND OPERATEDATALL TIMES
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUC-
TIONS.
CAUTION: THE USE OF SOME TYPES OF
PRESERVATIVE-TREATED WOOD ASA FUEL
CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
WARNING: ANY MODIFICATION OF THE AP-
PLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED
IN WRITING BY THE TESTING AUTHORITY
IS CONSIDERED AS BREACHING AS/NZS
4013.
WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START OR
REKINDLE THE FIRE.
WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQ-
UIDS OR AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF
THIS APPLIANCE WHEN IT IS OPERATING.
WARNING: DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN
HEATER INSTALLATION CLEARANCES.
WARNING: OPEN AIR CONTROL (AND
DAMPER WHEN FITTED) BEFORE OPENING
FIRING DOOR.
FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and inspected
you are ready for your rst re.
1) Open control fully.
2) Open rebox door and build a small re using
paper and dry kindling on the rebox base. Se-
cure door on the rebox and wait a few minutes
for a good updraft in the ue to establish the
re. (Leaving the door slightly open will help
your re start more rapidly.)
CAUTION: Never leave unit unattended if
door is left open. This procedure is for re
start-up only, as unit may overheat if door
is left open for too long.
3) With the draft still in the fully open position add
two or three seasoned logs to your re. Form
a trench in the ash bed to allow air to reach the
rear of the rebox prior to closing the door.
4) After about 45 minutes, when your wood has
begun to burn strongly, adjust your draft control
down to keep the re at a moderate level.
WARNING: Never build a roaring re in a
cold heater. Always warm your heater up
slowly!
5) Once a bed of coals has been established on
the base of the rebox, you may adjust the draft
control to a low setting to operate the unit at its
most efcient mode.
Push - Closed
For safety reasons and in order to avoid
over ring of your unit do not burn your
re with the door open or ajar.

Regency Albany Freestanding Wood Fire 9
maintenance
6) During the rst few res, keep the combustion
rate at a moderate level and avoid a large re.
Only after 5 or 6 such res can you operate the
heater at its maximum setting, and only after
the metal has been warmed.
7) For the rst few days, the heater will give off
an odour from the paint. This is to be expected
as the high temperature paint becomes sea-
soned. Windows and/or doors should be left
open to provide adequate ventilation while
this temporary condition exists. Burning the
heater at a very high temperature the rst few
times may damage the paint. Burn res at a
moderate level the rst few days.
8) Do not place anything on the heater top during
the curing process. This may result in damage
to your paint nish.
9) During the rst few days it may be more difcult
to start the re. As you dry out your rebrick
and your masonry ue, your draft will increase.
10) For those units installed at higher elevations or
into sub-standard masonry 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
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 sufcient for the
purpose. If you also have a replace in your
home, a downdraft may be created by your
Regency Heater causing a draft down your
ue. If this occurs, slightly open a window near
your unit.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit, ue bafe or
any part of the ue connector starts to glow, you
are over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 re. Once all
moisture has been removed, the draft control
may be adjusted to maintain the re.
15) If you have been burning your heater on a low
draft, use caution when opening the door. After
opening the damper, open the door a crack,
and allow the re to adjust before fully opening
the door.
16) The controls of your unit or the air supply pas-
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 ue of a slow burn-
ing re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates
on the ue lining. When ignited, this creosote can
result in an extremely hot re.
WARNING: Things to remember in case
of a ue re:
1. Close all draft and damper controls.
2. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Ways to Prevent and Keep Unit Free
of Creosote
1) Burn heater with the draft control wide open
for about 10-15 minutes every morning during
burning season.
2) Burn heater 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 otherwise
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 re is preferable to a large smoul-
dering one that can deposit creosote within the
system.
5) The ue and ue connector should be inspected
at least once every two months during the heat-
ing season to determine is a creosote buildup
has occurred.
6) Have ue system and unit cleaned by com-
petent ue sweeps twice a year during the
rst year of use and at least once a year
thereafter or when a signicant layer of
creosote has accumulated (3 mm) it should
be removed to reduce the risk of a ue re.
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 re-
place heater, including burning seasoned wood
and maintaining a clean heater and ue system.
Have the ue cleaned before the burning season
and as necessary during the season, as creosote
deposits may build up rapidly. Moving parts of your
heater require no lubrication. The integrity of all
heater parts including bafe plates, cast iron liners,
re bricks, air tubes, air bars, door rope seals, and
door glass is imperative for the correct operation
and longevity of your Regency Wood heater. They
should be inspected on a regular basis and replaced
if they show any signs of undue wear or damage.
Failure of any of these components can damage
the heater and void warranty.
GLASS MAINTENANCE
Your Regency heater is supplied with 5mm Ne-
oceram 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 heater to cool down before cleaning the
glass, do not clean the glass when it is hot. Do not
use abrasive cleaners.
sages should not be altered to increase ring
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 efciently
as it can. An easy rule of thumb says that if your
glass is clean, then your ue is clean and your
exhaust is clean. Burn the heater hot enough
to keep your glass clean and you won't need
to clean your ue as often.
DOOR LATCH
ADJUSTMENT
The door latch may require adjustment as the door
gasket material compresses over time.
Follow the steps below to allow the latch to be
moved closer to the door frame, causing a tighter
seal.
1. Carefully remove the split pin, Latching Sleeve
and pin from the handle
2. Spin the door handle anti-clockwise (when look-
ing at the front of the door) to the required depth
3. Re-install the split pin, Latching Sleeve & pin
into the handle
4. Adjust the Set Screw to the proper depth to
ensure the handle cannot rotate 360 degrees.
