INSTALLATION
RESIDENTIAL
INSTALLATION
1) Please read this entire manual before you
install and use your new woodstove. 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) Select a position for your Regency Stove.
Consult the minimum clearance chart for
your model and set the stove in place. For
close clearance installation use listed double
wall connector systems.
3) To insure vertical alignment, suspend a
plumb bob from the ceiling over the exact
center of your stove flue and mark a spot
on the ceiling to indicate the center of the
chimney.
4) Check that the area above the ceiling is
clear for cutting. Re-confirm the clearance
from the stove to combustibles to insure
that they are within the prescribed limits.
5) This woodstove must be connected to a
UL 103 HT (ULC S629) listed chimney or
a code approved masonry chimney with a
flue liner.
6) Install chimney according to chimney manu-
facturers instructions. The performance of
your woodstove is governed to a very large
part by the chimney system. Too short a
chimney can cause difficult start-up, dirty
glass, back smoking when door is open, and
even reduced heat output. Too tall a chimney
may prompt excessive draft which can result
in very short burn times and excessive heat
output. The use of an inexpensive flue pipe
damper may be helpful in reducing excessive
draft.
CAUTION: The chimney should be the same
size as the 6" flue outlet on the stove. The
chimney must be listed as suitable for use
with solid fuels. For other types of chimneys
check with your local building code officials.
Do not confuse a chimney with a type “B”
Venting System used for gas appliances
as suitable for a wood burning appliance.
For Mobile Home installations refer to that
section within this manual.
7) Mark the location of the pedestal base or legs
on the floor, then move the stove aside and
mark the position of the floor protector.
8) The floor protector must be of non-combus-
tible material and must extend 16" (406mm)
in front of the door opening and 6" (152mm)
to the sides and rear of the unit. Some areas
may require a larger size floor protector.
See your local inspector. For outside air
installation refer to Mobile Home installation
instructions within this manual.
9) When the floor protection is complete, posi-
tion the stove with the flue collar centered
under the installed chimney.
10) In seismically active areas, Regency rec-
ommends that your unit is secured to the
floor by using the bolt down holes inside
the pedestal (the same ones used in Mobile
Home installations).
11) For residential installations using 6" "C"
Vent (single wall) the chimney connector
must be at least 24 gauge steel. Do not use
galvanized pipe. For Mobile Home instal-
lation refer to the Mobile Home installation
instructions within this manual.
12) Do not connect this unit to a chimney
serving another appliance.
13) A chimney connector cannot pass through
an attic or roof space, closet or similar
concealed space, or a floor, ceiling, wall
or partition of combustible construction.
In Canada, if passage through a wall, or
partition of combustible construction is
desired, the installation shall conform to
CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-
Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.
14) Your Regency Woodstove is not to be con-
nected to any air distribution duct.
Emissions from burning wood or gas could
contain chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm.
NOTE: In Canada, floor protection must
extend 18" (450mm) to the front and
8" (200mm) to each side and back
of the stove.
MODULAR INSTALLATION OPTIONS
Modular Part Things to consider when choosing options:
Modular Option
Blower/Fan
Ash Drawer Kit
Screen Door
OPTIONS: These can be installed at time of installation or added later:
F2400M
Airmate OR
Rear Heat Deflector
F2400M, S2400M
Pedestal OR
Legs
Things to consider when choosing options
The following items are required when assembling your Regency Stove. F2400M unit - the Rear Heat Deflector is supplied with the stove, but if
you choose not to use it you must use the Airmate instead.
Clearances are different. See the Minimum Clearance to Combustible Materials chart in the Installation section of this
manual. Generally you can get closer clearances with the airmate than with the rear heat deflector.
Convection heat with Airmate vs. Radiant Heat with Rear Heat Deflector. The airmate pushes heat forward and into the
room, the rear heat deflector deflects the heat upward. Refer to the Installation section within this manual.
There are no performance differences with either the pedestal or legs. It is primarily a personal preference. Legs can
be either painted steel, painted cast, or gold plated cast.
Leg installation requires the bottom shield (refer to Leg and Bottom Shield Assembly, Installation section).
Adding the blower will increase the area heated by the stove, it can move warm air beyond the room where the stove
is installed (refer to Blower/Fan, Installation section).
Adding the Ash Drawer Kit makes cleaning ashes out of the stove easier and cleaner (refer to Bottom Shield Ash
Drawer Kit, Installation section).
A simple add-on option that will allow you to enjoy the sound, warmth and view of an open fire.

ROOM AIR
IMPORTANT
For installation using room air for combustion,
remove knockout from the pedestal, and/or from
the bottom if using a heat shield.
Mobile home installations require the use of
outside air.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Please read the section below carefully as clearances depend on whether the airmate or the
rear heat deflector is installed on the stove.
Measurements "From Unit" are from the top plate of the stove to a side wall or to a corner,
and from the rear heat shield to a back wall.
Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority.
On pedestal units there are two locations where
outside air may be adapted to the unit. If us-
ing the bottom of the pedestal, do not remove
knockout from the rear of the pedestal. Only
remove rear knockout if outside air will be
brought in from the rear.
On leg units outside air can only be brought in
from the bottom of the heat shield.
Note: Once the knockout is removed there
are two tabs remaining. Bend both
tabs out for ease of installation when
attaching outside air.

STOVE ASSEMBLY
PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION
All units require either the pedestal or 4 legs at-
tached to the base. The F2400M stove requires
either the Airmate or Rear Heat Deflector on top
of the stove. Clearances to combustible materials
vary depending on whether the airmate or rear
heat deflector is installed, so be sure to check
the Minimum Clearances, Installation section.
Airmate Assembly for F2400M
(850-105)
1) The airmate sits on top of the stove with
the slots in the sides fitting over the curved
deflector on the rear stove top. See diagram
1. Discard the Rear Heat Deflector that is
supplied with the unit, it is not required if the
airmate is installed.
2) Center the airmate and push it forward to the
front of the stove. The back of the airmate
should be level with the back and sides of
the rear heat shield. See Diagrams 2 & 3.
Rear Heat Deflector
Assembly for F2400M
(815-555)
The rear heat deflector is supplied with the stove
and must be installed unless the optional airmate
has been selected. It stops the heat radiated from
the flue collar from overheating the rear wall. The
rear heat deflector is installed on top of the rear
heat shield, as shown in Diagram 4.
S2400M Side Shield Adjustment
The left and right side shields are lowered for
shipping and handling. It allows for a handhold
on the top of the stove. Before placing in the
Step Stove in its final position, the side shields
must be raised.
Loosen the screws on the rear on the stove (3 per
side), slide the side panel up as far as possible
and then secure by tightening the screws.
Pedestal Assembly
F2400M & S2400M
(020-915)
1) For easier assembly, tip the stove on its
back (onto a soft surface to prevent scratch-
ing).
Hint: If you have chosen the Ash Drawer
option, remove the ash dump cover plates
before attaching the pedestal. See page 17
"Ashdrawer Kit Installation".
2) Remove the blanking plate if
a) you are not installing outside combustion
air or
b) outside air is to be brought in from the
rear of the stove.
3) Unscrew the 4 bolts in the under-side of the
stove. Align the holes in the corners of the
pedestal top with the corresponding holes
in the base of the stove. Fasten using a bolt
and washer for each corner.
4) Push the
Regency logo
into the two
holes in the
front bottom
left corner of
the pedestal
cover plate.
Note: Any paint touch up should be done
prior to placing logo on pedestal.
5) If not using ash drawer, then cover plate must
be installed. If using ash drawer, then disregard
cover plate.

Horizontal Installation
Standard Ceiling Installation
8) To complete your chimney installation, install
the double wall connector pipe from the
stove’s flue collar to the chimney support
device.
9) If you are using a horizontal connector,
the chimney connector should be as high
as possible while still maintaining the 18"
(457mm) minimum distance from the hori-
zontal connector to the ceiling.
10) NOTE: Residential Close Clearance and
Alcove installations require a listed dou-
ble wall connector from the stove collar
to the ceiling level.
The diagrams below illustrate one way to in-
stall your unit into a standard ceiling or with a
horizontal connector. Check with your dealer
or installer for information on other options
available to you.
INSTALLATION
STEP-BY-STEP
CHIMNEY AND
CONNECTOR
INSTALLATION
Note: These are a generic set of chimney in-
stallation instructions. Always follow
the manufacturers own instructions
explicitly. Verify the Minimum Recom-
mended Heights for Woodstove Flue
(Table 1 in the Installation section).
1) With your location already established, cut
and frame the roof hole. It is recommended
that no ceiling support member be cut for
chimney and support box installation. If it is
necessary to cut them, the members must
be made structurally sound.
2) Install radiant shield and support from
above.
3) Stack the insulated pipe onto your finish
support to a minimum height of 3 feet above
the roof penetration, or 2 feet above any
point within 10 feet measured horizontally.
There must be at least 3 feet of chimney
above the roof level.
Note: Increasing the chimney height above
this minimum level will sometimes
help your unit to “breathe” better
by allowing a greater draft to be cre-
ated. This greater draft can decrease
problems such as, difficult start-ups,
back-smoking when door is open,
and dirty glass. It might be sufficient
to initially try with the minimum re-
quired height, and then if problems
do arise add additional height at a
later date.
4) Slide the roof flashing over your chimney
and seal the flashing to the roof with roofing
compound. Secure the flashing to your roof
with nails or screws.
5) Place the storm collar over the flashing,
sealing the joints with a silicone caulking.
6) Fasten the raincap with spark screens (if
required) to the top of your chimney.
7) For optimum efficiency when installing into
a masonry chimney, size accordingly, i.e.
the 6" (152mm) flue dia. is 28.28 sq.in.

Bottom Shield 020-911
Legs (set of 4)
Steel - Painted Black 850-125
Cast - Painted Black 850-126
Cast - Gold Plated 850-127
The instructions below apply to the steel leg,
painted cast leg and the gold plated cast leg. It
will be easier to attach the legs to the stove if
the stove is tipped on its back (preferably on a
soft surface to prevent scratching). Ensure to be
extremely careful when tipping stove.
1) Remove the 4 bolts from underside of the
base of the pedestal and discard. Also
remove cover plate and put to the side.
2) Line up the heat shield with the bottom of
the unit.
3) Start threading the bolt and washer (supplied
with the bottom shield) for about 1/4 of the
way through the leg with the washers being
underneath the legs. Ensure that the legs
are properly aligned with heat shield and
tighten the bolts.
4) Level the stove by adjusting the levelling
bolts in the bottom of each leg.
5) Reinstall cover plate.
6) Install logo plate onto heat shield by placing
in 2 holes as shown in diagram.
If you are installing outside combustion air, bend
the tabs out 90 degrees. Pipe fresh air into the
bottom shield by using a minimum 4" duct pipe
with a mesh grill at the outside termination. At-
tach the pipe to the 2 tabs with screws.

FACTORY
BUILT CHIMNEY
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer's installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase and install the
ceiling support package or wall pass-through and "T" section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc.
Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer. The chimney must be the required height above the roof or other
obstructions for safety and proper draft operation.

Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the mini-
mum standards of the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) by having it inspected by
a professional. Make sure there are no cracks,
loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and
blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before
the stove is installed and operated. When
connecting the stove through a combustible
wall to a masonry chimney, special methods
are needed.
MASONRY
FIREPLACE
There are listed kits available to connect a stove
to a masonry fireplace. The kit is an adapter
that is installed at the location of the fireplace
damper. The existing damper may have to be
removed to allow installation.

Regency Freestanding Woodstove 13
Method A: 12" (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall
Member:
Using a minimum thickness 3.5" (89 mm) brick and a 5/8" (15.9 mm)
minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through.
The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specification
for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12" (304.8
mm) of brick masonry between the clay liner and wall combustibles.
The clay liner shall run from the brick masonry outer surface to the
inner surface of the chimney flue liner but not past the inner surface.
Firmly grout or cement the clay liner in place to the chimney flue liner.
Method B: 9" (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Using a 6" (152.4 mm) inside diameter, listed, factory-built Solid-Pak
chimney section with insulation of 1" (25.4 mm) or more, build a wall
pass-through with a minimum 9" (228.6 mm) air space between the
outer wall of the chimney length and wall combustibles. Use sheet
metal supports fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides, to
maintain the 9" (228.6 mm) air space. When fastening supports to
chimney length, do not penetrate the chimney liner (the inside wall
of the Solid-Pak chimney). The inner end of the Solid-Pak chimney
section shall be flush with the inside of the masonry chimney flue, and
sealed with a non-water soluble refractory cement. Use this cement
to also seal to the brick masonry penetration.
Method C: 6" (152.4 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Starting with a minimum 24 gage (.024" [.61 mm]) 6" (152.4 mm) metal
chimney connector, and a minimum 24 gage ventilated wall thimble
which has two air channels of 1" (25.4 mm) each, construct a wall
pass-through. There shall be a minimum 6" (152.4) mm separation area
containing fiberglass insulation, from the outer surface of the wall thimble
to wall combustibles. Support the wall thimble, and cover its opening
with a 24-gage minimum sheet metal support. Maintain the 6" (152.4
mm) space. There should also be a support sized to fit and hold the
metal chimney connector. See that the supports are fastened securely
to wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure the
metal chimney connector do not penetrate chimney flue liner.
Method D: 2" (50.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Start with a solid-pak listed factory built chimney section at least
12" (304 mm) long, with insulation of 1" (25.4 mm) or more, and an
inside diameter of 8" (2 inches [51 mm] larger than the 6" [152.4
mm] chimney connector). Use this as a pass-through for a minimum
24-gage single wall steel chimney connector. Keep solid-pak section
concentric with and spaced 1" (25.4 mm) off the chimney connector
by way of sheet metal support plates at both ends of chimney section.
Cover opening with and support chimney section on both sides with
24 gage minimum sheet metal supports. See that the supports are
fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners
used to secure chimney flue liner.

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION
Once you have properly marked the position of
your unit and the floor protection as outlined in
the Residential Installation items #1 through #8,
a supply of fresh air has to be supplied to your
unit. Cut a minimum 4" (102mm) diameter hole
through your floor protector and the floor directly
under your pedestal base to the outside. Use 4"
(102mm) duct pipe with a mesh grill to pipe fresh
air into the pedestal area. Block off the hole in
the back of the pedestal with the square plate
and the two 1/2" screws provided.
Place your unit in position and secure it to the
floor using two lag bolts 3/8" (10mm) x 3-1/2"
(89mm) through the two holes inside the pedestal
base. It is important to maintain the structural
integrity of the Mobile Home floor, walls and roof
when installing your unit.
For Mobile Home units installed in the U.S. the
unit must be grounded using a #8 ground wire
with approved termination and star washer.
In addition to standard installation instructions
the following requirements are mandatory for
installation in a mobile home.
1) The stove must be permanently bolted to
the floor of the Mobile Home using the floor
screws provided.
2) The stove must have a permanent outside
air source for combustion.
3) The stove must be electrically grounded to
the steel chassis of the Mobile Home.
4) A listed double-wall connector chimney
system, roof thimble, spark arrestor and roof
flashing kit suitable for use in Mobile Homes
must be used.
5) If the chimney exits the Mobile Home at a
location other than through the roof, and exits at
a point 7ft. (2130mm) or less above the ground
level on which the Mobile Home is positioned a
guard or method of enclosing the chimney shall
be fitted at the point of exit for a height up to
7ft. (2130mm).
6) The chimney shall be attached directly to
the room heater and shall extend at least 3 ft.
(914mm) above the part of the roof through
which it passes. The top of the chimney should
project at least 2ft. (610mm) above the highest
elevation of any part of the Mobile Home within
10 ft. (3048mm) of the chimney.
7) The chimney system shall comply with Local
Requirements.
8) Any openings in a chimney guard where
required must not permit the entrance of 3/4"
(19mm) diameter rod.
9) CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
OF THE MOBILE HOME ROOF, FLOOR,
WALLS AND CEILING MUST BE MAIN-
TAINED.
10) Check any other local building code as other
local codes may apply.
11) WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEP-
ING ROOM OF A MOBILE HOME.
12) Use silicone to create an effective vapour
barrier at the location where the chimney or
other component penetrates to the exterior of
the structure.

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 until it locks into
position. If the tube will not slide in easily,
simply use a pair of vise grips or pliers and
tap it into place with a hammer. A tighter fit
will ensure the tube will not move when the
unit is burning.
2) Slide the left baffle over the air tubes from
the front and then push it to the back.

3) Tilt the left baffle up on top of the side chan-
nel and it will leave enough room to position
the right baffle in the same manner as Step
1) above. Then reposition the left baffle flat
on the air tubes.
4) Important: push both baffles so they are
tight against the side walls.
Note: When getting the chimney cleaned,
push the baffles forward toward the
front of the stove, this should leave
sufficient access to the flue. If it is
not enough space then remove the
middle air tube (reverse the procedure
in step 1) above), and baffle and then
replace everything when cleaning is
completed.

grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove
the grounding prong from this plug.

Regency Freestanding Woodstove 19
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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) For those units installed at higher elevations
or into sub-standard masonry fireplaces,
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 fire 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
sufficient for the purpose. If you also have
a fireplace in your home, a downdraft may
be created by your Regency Stove causing
a draft down your chimney. If this occurs,
slightly open a window near your unit.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit,
flue baffle or any part of the chim-
ney connector starts to glow, you
are over firing. Stop loading fuel
immediately and close the draft con-
trol 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 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
passages should not be altered to increase
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.
4) After about 45 minutes, when your wood
has begun to burn strongly, adjust your draft
control down to keep the fire at a moderate
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 firebrick hearth, you may adjust the
draft control to a low setting to operate the
unit at its most efficient mode.
6) During the first few fires, keep the combus-
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 becomes sea-
soned. Windows and/or doors should be left
open to provide adequate ventilation while
this temporary condition exists. Burning the
stove at a very high temperature the first few
times may damage the paint. Burn fires at
a moderate level the first few days.
8) Do not place anything on the stove top dur-
ing the curing process. This may result in
damage to your paint finish.
Pull - Open Push - Closed
WARNING: To build a fire in ignorance
or to disregard the information con-
tained in this section can cause serious
permanent damage to the unit and void
your warranty!!
DRAFT CONTROL
Both the primary and air wash drafts are control-
led by the control rod located on the left 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 firebox, just
below the flue baffle.
Important: If you are using room air for combus-
tion, make sure that the back cover plate at the
rear of the pedestal is not installed. The cover
plate must be installed on the unit if your stove
is located in a mobile home or if using outside
air from the bottom.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
With your unit now correctly installed and safety
inspected by your local authority, you are now
ready to start a fire. Before establishing your
first fire, it is important that you fully understand
the operation of your draft control.
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 flame may be
drawn out of the fireplace stove open-
ing, creating risks from both fire and
smoke.
When operated with doors open the
manufacturer supplied screen must
be used.
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 us-
ing paper and dry kindling on the firebrick
hearth. Secure door on the firebox and wait
a few minutes for a good updraft in the flue to
establish the fire. (Leaving the door slightly
open will help your fire start more rapidly.)
CAUTION: Never leave unit
unattended if door is left open.
This procedure is for fire 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 fire.
Form a trench in the ash bed to allow air to
reach the rear of the firebox prior to closing
the door.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY GUIDELINES
AND WARNINGS
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, gar-
bage, 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 chimney con-
nector, 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
warpage and premature steel corrosion.
Over firing 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.
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 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 distribu-
tion duct.
13) Your woodstove should burn dry, standard
firewood only. The use of cut lumber, ply-
wood, “mill ends”, etc. is not allowed as this
fuel can easily overheat your woodstove.
Evidence of excessive overheating will void
your warranty. As well, a large portion of saw-
mill waste is chemically treated lumber, which
is illegal to burn in many areas. Salt drift
wood and chemically treated fire logs also
must not be burned in your woodstoves.
14) Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet
from your unit. Do not place wood, paper,
furniture, drapes or other combustibles near
the appliance.
15) WARNING: Do not operate without
either the Ash Plug properly seated
or the Ash Dump Plates screwed in
place, excessive temperatures will
result.
16) Do not operate with broken glazing.
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.
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.
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.
Bottom Shield (with Legs) Units:
To remove the drawer, lift slightly and slide
it out, and carry it away.
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 ma-
terials, 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.
FAN OPERATION
Automatic
To operate the fan automatically, push the bot-
tom 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.
Manual
To manually operate the fan system push the bot-
tom 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.
