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 connect this unit to a chimney flue
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 fire.
12) Do not connect your unit to any air distribu-
tion duct.
13) Your wood fire should burn dry, standard
firewood only. The use of cut timber, ply-
wood,“mill ends”,etc. isnotallowed 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.
14) No combustible material should be closer
than the clearances as specified on page
7.
15) DO NOT OPERATE WITH BROKEN
GLASS.

8) The floor protector must be of non-com-
bustible material. Refer to page 7 for floor
protector clearances.
9) Whenthe floor protection is complete,posi-
tion the stove with the flue collar centered
under the installed chimney.
10) Inseismicallyactiveareas,Regencyrecom-
mends that your unit is secured to the floor
by using the bolt down holes inside the
pedestal.
11) Do not connect this unit to a chimney
serving another appliance.
BRICK INSTALLATION
Firebrick comes installed in each stove and is
made to extend the life of your stove and to
radiate heat more evenly.
Important: Remove the packing material from
above and below the top bricks. Check to see
thatallfirebricksareintheircorrectpositionsand
have not become misaligned during shipping.

the heater as follows;
From Sides: 200mm
From Front: 300mm (In front of door opening)
From Back: 200mm
The floor protector should consist of 12mm thick cement fibre sheet

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4) After about 45 minutes, when your wood
hasbeguntoburnstrongly,adjustyourdraft
controldownto keepthefireat amoderate
level.
WARNING: Never build a roaring fire in
a cold stove. Always warm your stove
up slowly!
5) Once a bed of coals has been established
on the base of the firebox, you may adjust
the draft control to a low setting to operate
the unit at its most efficient mode.
6) Duringthefirstfewfires,keepthecombus-
tion 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.
7) 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
becomesseasoned.Windowsand/ordoors
should be left open to provide adequate
ventilation while this temporary condition
exists. Burning the stove at a very high
temperaturethefirstfewtimesmaydamage

8) Do not place anything on the stove top
during the curing process. This may result
in damage to your paint finish.

FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and in-
spected you are ready for your first fire.
1) Open control fully.
2) Open firebox door and build a small fire
using paper and dry kindling on the firebox
base. Securedooronthefireboxandwaita

open will help your fire start more rapidly.)

9) 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.
10) Forthoseunitsinstalledathigherelevations
or into sub-standard masonry fireplaces,
drafting problems may occur. Consult an
experienced dealer or mason on methods
of increasing your draft.

12) Before opening your door to reload, open
draftfullyforapproximately10to15seconds
until fire has been re-established. This will
minimize any smoking.
13) Allfuelburningappliancesconsumeoxygen
during operation. It is important that you
supply a source of fresh air to your unit
while burning.Aslightly opened window is
sufficient for the purpose. If you also have
a fireplace in your home, a downdraft may
becreatedbyyourRegencyStovecausing
a draft down your chimney. If this occurs,
slightly open a window near your unit.
CAUTION: Ifthebodyofyourunit,fluebaffle

the glow has completely subsided.
14) Greenorwetwoodisnotrecommendedfor
yourunit. Ifyoumustaddwetorgreenfuel,
openthedraftcontrolfullyuntilallmoisture
has been dispersed by the intense fire.
Once all moisture has been removed, the
draft control may be adjusted to maintain
the fire.
15) If you have been burning your stove on a
low draft, use caution when opening the
door. After opening the damper, open the
door a crack, and allow the fire to adjust
before fully opening the door.
16) The controls of your unit or the air supply
passagesshouldnotbealteredtoincrease
firing for any reason.
17) If you burn the unit too slowly or at too low
a setting your unit will not be operating as
efficiently as it can. An easy rule of thumb
says that if your glass is clean, then your
flue is clean and your exhaust is clean.
Burn the stove hot enough to keep your
glass clean and you won't need to clean
your flue as often.
MAINTENANCE
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 chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As a
result,creosoteresidueaccumulatesontheflue
lining. When ignited, this creosote can result
in an extremely hot fire.
WARNING: Thingstorememberincase
of a chimney fire:
1. Close all draft and damper controls.
2. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Ways to Prevent and Keep Unit
Free of Creosote
1) Burnstove with thedraft control wide open
for about 10-15 minutes every morning
during burning season.
2) Burn stove with draft control wide open for
about10-15minutes everytimeyouapply
freshwood.Thisallowsthewoodtoachieve
thecharcoal stagefasterand burnsup any
unburned gas vapours which might other-
wise be deposited within the system.
3) Onlyburnseasonedwood! Avoidburning
wet or green wood. Seasoned wood has
been dried at least one year.
4) A small hot fire is preferable to a large
smoulderingonethatcan depositcreosote
within the system.
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
fireplace stove, including burning seasoned
wood and maintaining a clean stove and chim-
ney 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 stove require no
lubrication.
5) Thechimneyandchimneyconnectorshould
beinspectedatleastonceeverytwomonths
duringthe heatingseason to determine is a
creosote buildup has occured.
6) Have chimney system and unit cleaned
by competent chimney sweeps twice a
year during the first year of use and at
least once a year thereafter or when a
significant layer of creosote has accu-
mulated(3mm/1/8"or more)itshouldbe
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney
fire.
GLASS MAINTENANCE
Your Regency stove is supplied with 5 mm
Neoceram ceramic glass that will withstand
the highest heat that your unit will produce. In
the event that you break your glass by impact,
purchaseyour replacementfrom anauthorized
Regencydealeronly,andfollowourstep-by-step
instructions for replacement.
Allow the stove to cool down before cleaning
the glass, do not clean the glass when it is hot.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
