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.Keepallsuchliquidswellawayfrom
the heater while it is in use.
2) Keep the door closed during operation and
maintain all seals in good condition.
3) Donotburnanyquantitiesofpaper,garbage,
and never burn flammable fluids such as
petrol, naptha or engine oil in your stove.
4) Ifyouhavesmokedetectors,preventsmoke
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,youareoverfiring.Stopaddingfueland
closethedraftcontrol. Overfiringcancause
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 use grates or andirons or other
methods for supporting fuel. Burn directly
on the base or bricks where supplied.
10) Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15
seconds prior to slowly opening the door
when refuelling the fire.
11) Do not connect your unit to any air distribu-
tion duct.
12) Your wood fire should burn dry, standard
firewood only. The use of cut timber, ply-
wood,“mill ends”, etc. is notallowed asthis
fuel can easily overheat your wood fire.
Evidenceofexcessiveoverheatingwillvoid
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.
13) DO NOT OPERATE WITH BROKEN
GLASS.

INSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE
The insert must be installed as per the require-
ments of your local inspection authority.
Regency highly recommends the use of a full
liner as the safest installation and provides the
mostoptimumperformance. Yourretailershould
be able to help you decide which system would
be the best for your application.
Full Flue Liner
The use of this connection method not only
increases the safety of your insert by directing
the hot gases up the flue, but will also help
increase the unit's efficiency and decrease
creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected flue or liner is in use, the
insert is able to “breathe” better by allowing a
greaterdrafttobecreated. Thegreaterdraftcan
decrease problems such as, difficult start-ups,
smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
1) When installed in a factory built fireplace, a
fullstainlesssteelrigidismandatory,forboth
safety and performance purposes. When
a flue or liner is in use, the insert is able to
breathe better by allowing a greater draft to
becreated. Thegreaterdraft candecrease
problemssuchas,difficultstart-ups,smoking
out the door, and dirty glass.
2) In order to position the flue liner, the exist-
ing rain cap must be removed from your
chimney system. In most cases the flue
damper should also be removed to allow
passage of the liner.
3) In most cases opening the existing spark
screens fully should give enough room for
the insert installation. If it does not, remove
and store.
4) If the floor of your fireplace is below the
level of the fireplace opening, adjust the
inserttoaccommodatethedifference.When
shimmingisrequired, usenon-combustible
masonry or steel shims.
5) Measureapproximatelythealignmentofthe

6) Once the above items have been checked,
slide your insert into position after first po-
sitioning the flue liner and offset if required.
