INSTALLATION
CHIMNEY
SPECIFICATIONS
Before installing, check and clean your chimney
system thoroughly. If in doubt about its condi-
tion, seek professional advice. Your Regency
Insert is designed for installation into a masonry
replace that is constructed in accordance with
the requirements of "The Standard for Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Ap-
pliance", N.F.P.A. 211, the National Building
Code of Canada, or the applicable local code
requirements.
The appliance, when installed, must be electri-
cally grounded in accordance with local codes or,
in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian
Electrical code, CSA C22.1.
Regency Inserts are designed to use either a
5.5" (140mm) or 6" (152mm) ue.
Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built
Fireplaces.
1) The insert must be tested and meet the
requirements of UL 1482 (U.S.) and or ULC
S628 (Canada) when tested in a masonry
replace built per ULC S628.
2) The factory-built replace must be listed per
UL 127 or ULC S610.
3) Clearances obtained from the masonry re-
place tests are also relevant for installation
in factory-built replaces.
4) Installation must include a full height listed
chimney liner type HT requirements (2100
degree F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC
S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely
attached to the insert ue collar and the
chimney top.
5) Means must be provided to prevent room
air passage to the chimney cavity of the
replace. This may be accomplished by
sealing the damper area around the chimney
liner, or sealing the replace front.
6) Alteration of the replace in any manner is not
permitted with the following exceptions;
a. external trim pieces which do not a󰀨ect
the operation of the replace may be
removed providing they can be stored
on or within the replace for re-assembly
if the insert is removed.
b. the chimney damper may be removed
to install the chimney liner.
Regency Inserts are constructed with the high-
est quality materials and assembled under strict
quality control procedures that insure years of
trouble free and reliable performance.
It is important that you read this manual thor-
oughly and fully understand the safe instal-
lation and operating procedures. The more
you understand the way your Regency Insert
operates, the more enjoyment you will experi-
ence from knowing that your unit is operating
at peak performance.
BEFORE INSTALLING
YOUR INSERT
1) Please read this entire manual before you
install and use your new wood insert. Failure
to follow instructions may result in property
damage, bodily injury or even death. Install
and use only in accordance with manufactur-
er’s installation and operating instructions.
2) Check your local building codes - Building
Inspection Department. You may require
a permit before installing your insert. Be
aware that local codes and regulations may
override some items in the manual.
WARNING: Careless installation is the
major cause of safety hazard. Check all
local building and safety codes before
installation of unit.
3) Notify your home insurance company that
you plan to install a replace insert or hearth
heater.
4) Your replace insert is heavy and requires
two or more people to move it safely. The
insert can be badly damaged by mishan-
dling.
5) If your existing replace damper control
will become inaccessible once you have
installed your Regency Insert, you should
either remove or secure it in the open posi-
tion.
6) Inspect your replace and chimney prior
to installing your insert to determine that it
is free from cracks, loose mortar or other
signs of damage. If repairs are required,
they should be completed before installing
your insert. Do not remove bricks or mortar
from your masonry replace.
7) Do not connect the insert to a chimney
system servicing another appliance or
an air distribution duct.
7) Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel re-
place liner or metal heat circulator) shall not
be blocked.
8) Means must be provided for removal of the
insert to clean the chimney ue.
9) Inserts that project in front of the replace
must be supplied with appropriate supporting
means.
10) Installer must mechanically attach the supplied
label to the inside of the rebox of the replace
into which the insert is installed.
In order for a solid-fuel insert to be certied for use
in factory-built replaces, the above information
must be clearly stated in the installation manual and
appropriate markings. Final approval is contingent
on the authority having jurisdiction.

INSTALLATION
Clearance diagram for Installations
Side and Top facing is a maximum of 1.5" thick.
Floor protection must be non-combustible, insula-
tive material with an R value of 1.1 or greater.
* Hearth thickness of 0.5" with k value = 0.84",
r value = 0.6 or greater.
** A non-combustible mantel may be installed
at a lower height if the framing is made of
metal studs covered with a non-combustible
board.
** Max. mantle depth is 10" (254mm).
Thermal oor protection is not required if the unit is
raised 3.5" minimum (measured from the bottom of
the stove). However, standard ember oor protec-
tion is required. It will need to be a non-combustible
material that covers 16" (406 mm) in the US and
18" (450 mm) in Canada to the front of the unit and
8" (200 mm) to the sides.
If the unit is not raised, thermal oor protection
required is 18" (450 mm) in the US and Canada.
All oor protection must be non-combustible (i.e.,
metals, brick, stone, mineral ber boards, etc.) Any
organic materials (i.e. plastics, wood paper prod-
ucts, etc.) are combustible and must not be used.
The oor protection specied includes some form
of thermal designation such as R-value (thermal
resistance) or k-factor (thermal conductivity).
MASONRY AND FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE CLEARANCES
The minimum required clearances to combustible materials when installed into a masonry or factory built replace are listed below.

HOW TO DETERMINE IF ALTERNATE
FLOOR PROTECTION MATERIALS ARE ACCEPTABLE
The specied oor protector should be 3/8"
(18mm) thick material with a K - factor of
0.84.
The proposed alternative is 4" (100mm) brick
with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8" (3mm) mineral
board with a K-factor of 0.29.
Step (a):
Use formula above to convert specication
to R-value.
R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893.
Step (b):
Calculate R of proposed system.
4" brick of C = 1.25, therefore
Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80
1/8" mineral board of k = 0.29, therefore
Rmin.bd. = 1/0.29 x 0.125 = 0.431
Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral board =
0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231.
Step (c):
Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to
specied R of 0.893. Since proposed system
R is greater than required, the system is
acceptable.

FLUE CONNECTOR
BRACKET
Package contains: 3 brackets and 6 screws.
These brackets are to be used to hold the ue
liner (not supplied) to the Insert and keep the
connection. The brackets are screwed into the
top of the Insert in the pre-punched holes and
then screwed into the ue liner.
INSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE
The insert must be installed as per the require-
ments of your local inspection authority. Three
methods of ue connection are acceptable in
most areas in the US, however a full ue liner
is required in Canada.
1) Positive ue connection, where a large
blocking plate and a short connector pipe
is used.
2) Direct ue connection, where a smaller
blocking plate and a connector pipe to the
rst ue liner tile is used.
3) Full ue liner, where a stainless steel rigid
or exible liner pipe is routed from the insert
outlet collar to the top of the chimney.
Regency highly recommends the use of a full
liner as the safest installation and provides the
most optimum performance. Your retailer should
be able to help you decide which system would

3a) Full Flue Liner
(No Cleanout Required)
be the best for your application.
Note: A clean-out door is sometimes
required, by your inspector, to be
installed when either the Positive ue
connection or Direct ue connection
method is used.
The use of one of the connection methods listed
on this page not only increases the safety of your
insert by directing the hot gases up the ue, but
will also help increase the unit's e󰀩ciency and
decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected ue or liner is in use, the
insert is able to “breathe” better by allowing a
greater draft to be created. The greater draft can
decrease problems such as, di󰀩cult start-ups,
smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
STEP-BY-STEP
INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
1) When installed in a factory built replace, a
full stainless steel rigid or exible ue liner
is mandatory, for both safety and perform-
ance purposes. When a ue or liner is in
use, the insert is able to breathe better by
allowing a greater draft to be created. The
greater draft can decrease problems such
as, di󰀩cult start-ups, smoking out the door,
and dirty glass.
2) In order to position the ue liner, the exist-
ing rain cap must be removed from your
chimney system. In most cases the ue
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 oor of your replace is below the
level of the replace opening, adjust the
insert's levelling bolts to accommodate the
di󰀨erence. When additional shimming is
required, use non-combustible masonry or
steel shims.
5) Measure approximately the alignment of
the ue liner with the position of the smoke
outlet hole on the insert to check for pos-
sible o󰀨set. If an o󰀨set is required, use a
proper stainless steel unit available with the
chimney liner.
6) Once the above items have been checked,
slide your insert into position after rst po-
sitioning the ue liner and o󰀨set if required.
(Re-install raincap at completion of installa-
tion).
NOTE: Refer to "Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built Fire-
places" section for the requirements
for installing solid fuel inserts in factory
built replaces.

INSTALLATION
Faceplate Assembly
Prior to sliding your insert into its nal position
and attaching the connector or liner pipe, the
faceplate side panel plates must be installed
as follows:
1) Slide the spring nuts (supplied) over the
slots in the insert’s side convection panels
(the spring nuts may need to be squeezed
with a pair of pliers rst, to help them stay
in position).
2) Screw the side faceplate panels, (item A in
the diagram) one to each side.
3) Using the top panel (item B in the diagram)
as a gauge, check that the side panels are
within approximately 1/4" of the overall width.
If the di󰀨erence is greater than this, use
the supplied washers to attain the required
width.
4) The unit may now be slid into nal position
and attached to the connection system.
5) Once connection is made, the insulation strips
should be installed between the insert face-
plates and the replace face. The faceplate
top may now be installed (with insulation
strip behind) by aligning its brackets with the
top ange on the side shields and the angle
iron bar on the insert top. The faceplate trim
may be installed to the edge
of the faceplate at this time.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION
OF THE FACEPLATE AND TRIM
Note: It may be easier to install the insula-
tion, faceplate top and faceplate trim
with the unit pulled slightly away from
the replace face. If this is done, be
very careful not to disturb the con-
nector when shifting the unit to its
nal position.
Now that your insert is installed, check once
more that all the clearances from the unit to
any combustible materials are correct as listed
earlier.

3) Tilt the left ba󰀪e up on top of the side chan-
nel and it will leave enough room to position
the right ba󰀪e in the same manner as Step
1) above. Then reposition the left ba󰀪e at
on the air tubes.
DRAFT CONTROL
Before establishing your rst re, it is important
that your fully understand the operation of you
draft control. The draft rod is on the left side of
the Inserts and it controls the intensity of the
re by increasing or decreasing the amount of
air allowed into the rebox. To increase your
draft - pull open, and to decrease - push closed.
As well as a primary and glass wash air system,
the unit has a full secondary draft system that
allows air to the induction ports at the top of the
rebox, just below the ue ba󰀪e.
WARNING: To build a re in ignorance or to
disregard the information contained in this
section can cause serious permanent dam-
age to the unit and void your warranty.
The unit arrives with the 2 ba󰀪e plates on the
oor of the rebox.
1) If all 4 air tubes are installed continue on
to Step 2), if not, follow the instructions
below. Install the air tube into the holes in
the side channels. The notch goes on the
right hand side with the air holes facing
toward the door. Slide the tube into the left
hand side, as far as possible and then bring
it back into the hole on the right hand side.
Use a pair of vise grips or pliers and tap it
into place with a hammer. A tighter t will

INSTALLATION
The ue ba󰀪e system located in the upper area
of the rebox is removable to make cleaning your
chimney system easier. The ba󰀪es must be
installed prior to your rst re. Smoke spill-
age and draft problems may occur if the
ba󰀪es are improperly positioned. Check
the position of the ba󰀪es on a regular basis as
they can be dislodged if too much fuel is forced
into the rebox.
FLOOR PROTECTION
Please check to ensure that your oor protection
and hearth will meet the standards for clearance
to combustibles. Your hearth extension must be
made from a non-combustible material.
FIREBRICK ASSEMBLY
Firebrick is included to extend the life of your
insert and radiate heat more evenly. Check to
see that all rebricks are in their correct posi-
tions and have not become misaligned during
shipping.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and in-
spected, you are ready for your rst re.
1) Open draft control fully.
2) Open rebox door and build a small re using
paper and dry kindling on the rebrick hearth,
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 unat-
tended if door is left open. This
procedure is for re start-up only,
as unit may over-heat 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 15 to 20 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 stove. Always warm
your stove up slowly!
5) Once a bed of coals has been established,
you may adjust the draft control to a low
setting to operate the unit in its most e󰀩cient
mode.
6) During the rst couple of hours, keep the
combustion rate at a moderate level and
avoid a large re until the paint is cured.
Only then can you operate the insert at its
maximum setting, and only after the metal
has been warmed.
7) For the rst few hours, the insert will give o󰀨
an odor 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
insert 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 insert top
during the curing process. This may result
in damage to your paint nish.
SOME SAFETY
GUIDELINES
1) Never use gasoline, gasoline 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 large quantities of paper in your
insert.
4) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set o󰀨 a false alarm.
5) Do not overre your insert. If the insert begin
to glow, you are overring. Stop adding
fuel and close the draft control. Overring
can cause extensive damage to your stove
including warpage and premature steel cor-
rosion. Overring will void your warranty.
6) Do not permit creosote or soot buildup in the
chimney system. Check and clean chimney
at regular intervals.
7) Your Regency Insert can be very hot. You
may be seriously burned if you touch the
insert while it is operating. Warn children
of the burn hazard.
8) The insert consumes air while operating,
provide adequate ventilation with an air
duct or open a window while the insert is in
use.
9) Do not use grates, irons or other methods
for supporting fuel. Burn directly on the
bricks.
10) Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15
seconds prior to slowly opening the door
when refuelling the re.
11) Do not connect your unit to any air distribu-
tion duct.
12) Your insert should burn dry, standard re-
wood only. The use of “mill ends” is discour-
aged as this fuel can easily overheat your
insert. Evidence of excessive overheating
will void your warranty. As well, a large por-
tion of sawmill waste is chemically treated
lumber, which is illegal to burn in many areas.
Chemically treated re logs also must not
be burned in your insert.
WARNING
Fireplace Stoves equipped with doors
should be operated only with doors fully
open or doors fully closed. If doors are
left partly open, gas and ame may be
drawn out of the replace stove open-
ing, creating risks from both re and
smoke.
When operated with doors open the
manufacturer supplied screen must
be used.
13) Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet from
your unit.
14) Do not burn salt drift wood as it will corrode
your unit and void the warranty.
15) Do not operate the unit if the glass is broken
or missing. Do not operate the unit if the
gasketing is worn out and not sealing the
door or the glass.
It is very important to carefully maintain your
insert, including burning seasoned wood and
maintaining a clean stove and chimney 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 insert require no lubrication.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ASH DISPOSAL
During constant use, ashes should be removed
every few days. Please take care to prevent the
build-up of ash around the start-up air housing
located inside the rebox, under the loading
door lip.
DO NOT ALLOW ASHES TO BUILD UP TO
THE LOADING DOORS.
Only remove ashes when the re has died down.
Even then, expect to nd a few hot embers.
Always leave 1 to 2 inches of ash in the bottom
of the rebox. This helps in easier starting and
a more uniform burn of your re.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with
a tight tting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible oor or
on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending nal 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.
Removal for Cleaning
Removal of your insert for cleaning purposes
is usually not required if a proper installation
has been done. In the event that removal is re-
quired, be sure not to damage any parts needed
for re-installation. In most cases removal and
replacement of the ba󰀪e system should allow
full access for cleaning.
WARNING: Things to remember in case
of chimney re:
1) Close draft control
2) Call the Fire Department
Ways to Prevent and
Keep Unit Free of Creosote
1) Burn insert with draft control wide open for
about 45 minutes every morning during burn-
ing season. This helps to prevent creosote
deposits within the heating system.
2) Burn insert with draft control wide open for
about 10 - 15 minutes every time you add
fresh wood. This allows the wood to achieve
the charcoal stage faster and burns up any
wood vapors which might otherwise be
deposited within the system.
3) Only burn seasoned wood! Do not burn
wet or green wood. Seasoned wood that
has been dried at least one year must be
used.
4) A small hot re is preferable to a large
smouldering one that can deposit creosote
within the system.
5) Check the chimney at least twice a month
during the burning season for creosote
build-up.
6) Have chimney system and unit cleaned
by competent chimney 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 accu-
mulated (3mm / 1/8" or more) it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney
re.
CREOSOTE
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and
other organic vapors, which form creosote when
combined with moisture. The creosote vapors
condense in the relatively cool chimney ue of a
slow-burning re. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited, this
creosote can make an extremely hot re.
FAN OPERATION
The fan is to be operated only with the draft
control rod pulled out at least 1/2" from the
fully closed position. The fan is not to be oper-
ated when the draft control rod is in the closed
position (pushed in). The fully closed position is
the low burn setting.
The fan unit must not be turned on until a re
has been burning for at least 30 minutes and
the unit is hot enough. As well, after each fuel
loading the fan must be shut o󰀨 until 30 minutes
has elapsed.
To operate fan automatically, push switch on
side of fan housing to "Auto" and second switch
to either "High" or "Low" for fan speed. The
automatic temperature sensor will engage the
blower when the unit is at temperature and will
shut o󰀨 the blower once the re has gone out
and the unit has cooled to below a useful heat
output range.
To manually operate the fan system, push the
rst switch to "Man" and second switch to either
"high" or "Low". This will bypass the sensing
device and allow full control of the fan. Switching
from "Auto" to "Manual" or "High" to "Low" may
be done at any time.
9) During the rst few hours it may be more
di󰀩cult to start the re. As you dry out
your re brick and your masonry ue (if
applicable), 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
su󰀩cient for this purpose.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit
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 insert 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 should not be
altered to increase ring for any reason.
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
MAINTENANCE OF
GOLD-PLATED DOORS
The gold electroplated nish on the doors
requires little maintenance, and need only be
cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive
materials or chemical cleaners, as they may
harm the nish and void the warranty.
DOOR GASKET
If the door gasket requires replacement, 7/8"
diameter material must be used. A proper high
temperature gasket adhesive is required. A
gasket repair kit, Part # 846-570 is available
from your local Regency dealer.
DOOR LATCH
ADJUSTMENT
The door latch may require adjustment as the
door gasket material compresses after a few
res. Removal of the spacer washer, shown
in the diagram below, will allow the latch to
be moved closer to the door frame, causing
a tighter seal. Remove and replace the nuts,
washer as shown.
GLASS CLEANING
Only clean your glass window when it is cool.
Your local retailer can supply you with special
glass cleaner if plain water and a soft cloth does
not remove all deposits.
GLASS REPLACEMENT
Your Regency Insert is supplied with 5 mm.
Neoceram ceramic glass (Part #846-304) 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.
GLASS REMOVAL
Allow the stove to cool before removing or replac-
ing glass. Remove the door from the insert and
remove the glass retainer. Use caution when
removing broken glass to prevent injury.
When placing the replacement glass in the
door, make sure that the glass gasketing will
properly seal your unit. Replace the retainer
and tighten securely, but do not wrench down
on the glass as this may cause breakage. Do
not substitute materials. If your glass door does
break, do not continue to use your unit until it
has been replaced.
Avoid impact on glass doors such
as striking or slamming shut.
