HOW TO DETERMINE IF ALTERNATE
FLOOR PROTECTION MATERIALS ARE ACCEPTABLE
The specified floor 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 specification
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
specifiedRof0.893.Sinceproposedsystem
R is greater than required, the system is
acceptable.

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
full stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner
is mandatory, for both safety and perform-
ance purposes. When a flue 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, difficult start-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.
When referencing installation or connec-
tion to masonry fireplaces or chimneys, the
masonry construction must or shall be code
complying.
INSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE
The insert must be installed as per the require-
ments of your local inspection authority. Three
methods of flue connection are acceptable in
most areas, these include:
1) Positive flue connection, where a large
blocking plate and a short connector pipe
is used.
2) Direct flue connection, where a smaller
blocking plate and a connector pipe to the
first flue liner tile is used.
3) Full flue liner, where a stainless steel rigid
orflexiblelinerpipeisroutedfromthe 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
mostoptimumperformance. Yourretailershould
be able to help you decide which system would
be the best for your application.
In Canada this fireplace insert must be
installed with a continuous chimney liner
of 5.5" or 6" diameter extending from the
fireplace insert to the top of the chimney.
The chimney liner must conform to the
Class 3 requirements of CAN/ULC-S635
or CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for Lining
Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.
4) If the floor of your fireplace is below the
level of the fireplace opening, adjust the
insert's levelling bolts to accommodate the
difference. When additional shimming is
required, use non-combustible masonry or
steel shims.
5) Measureapproximatelythealignmentofthe
fluelinerwiththepositionofthesmokeoutlet
holeontheinserttocheckforpossibleoffset.
If an offset is required, use the appropriate
offset adaptor in your installation.
6) Once the above items have been checked,
slide your insert into position after first po-
sitioning and securing the flue liner to the
offset adaptor.
Attach the rod to the adaptor and slide the
adaptor onto the unit as the unit is slid into
position. Ensure a positive connection.
Secure the adaptor to the unit by using 2
bolts, flat washers, lock washers and one
screw in the front.
Re-install raincap at completion of installa-
tion.

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 brick over the front air
tube and then slide it back over the rear air
tube.
3) Tilt the left baffle brick up on top of the side
channel and it will leave enough room to
position the right baffle brick in the same
manner as Step 1) above. Then reposition
the left baffle brick flat on the air tube.
4) Important: push both baffle bricks so
they are tight against the side walls and
to the back.
Note: When getting the chimney cleaned,
remove the baffle bricks for access
to the flue, then replace them when
cleaning is completed.
Aswellasaprimaryandglasswashairsystem,
the unit has a full secondary draft system that

firebox, just below the flue baffle.
WARNING: To build a fire in ignorance or to
disregard the information contained in this
section can cause serious permanent dam-
age to the unit and void your warranty.

INSTALLATION
FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and in-
spected, you are ready for your first fire.
1) Open draft control fully.
2) Openfireboxdoorandbuildasmallfireusing
paper and dry kindling, wait a few minutes
foragoodupdraftin thefluetoestablishthe
fire. Leaving the door slightly open will help
your fire start more rapidly.
CAUTION:Neverleave unit unattended
ifdoorisleftopen.Thisprocedureisfor
firestart-uponly,asunitmay over-heat
if door is left open for too long.
3) With the draft still in the fully open position,
addtwoor 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.
4) After about 15 to 20 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,
you may adjust the draft control to a low
settingtooperatetheunitinitsmostefficient
mode.
6) During the first couple of hours, keep the
combustion rate at a moderate level and
avoid a large fire 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 first few hours, the insert 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 insert at a very high
temperaturethefirstfewtimesmaydamage
the paint. Burn fires at a moderate level the
first few days.
8) Do not place anything on the insert top
during the curing process. This may result
in damage to your paint finish.
9) During the first few hours it may be more
difficult to start the fire. As you dry out
your fire brick and your masonry flue (if
applicable), 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.

reaches temperature.
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. A slightly opened window is
sufficient for this purpose.
CAUTION:Ifthebodyofyourunit starts

fuel immediately and close the draft
control until the glow has completely
subsided.
14) Greenorwetwoodisnot recommendedfor
yourunit. Ifyoumustaddwet orgreenfuel,
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 insert 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.

Ways to Prevent and
Keep Unit Free of Creosote
1) Burn insert with draft control wide open for
about15minuteseverymorningduringburn-
ing season. This helps to prevent creosote
deposits within the heating system.
2) Burn insert with draft control wide open for

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
operated when the draft control rod is in the
closed position (pushed in). The fully closed
position is the low burn setting.
The fan must not be turned on until a fire has
been burning for at least 30 minutes.Also note
it is recommended that the fan be turned off
before each fuel loading and again wait for 30
minutes before the fan is turned on again. This
is too allow the stove to reach it's optimum
temperature.
To operate fan automatically, push switch on
sideof fanhousingto "Auto"and secondswitch
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 off the blower once the fire has gone out
and the unit has cooled to below a useful heat
output range.
To manually operate the fan system, push the
firstswitchto"Man"andsecondswitch toeither
"high" or "Low". This will bypass the sensing
deviceandallowfullcontrolofthefan.Switching
from "Auto" to "Manual" or "High" to "Low" may
be done at any time.
ASH DISPOSAL

build-up of ash around the start-up air housing
located inside the firebox, under the loading
door lip.
DO NOT ALLOW ASHES TO BUILD UP TO
THE LOADING DOORS.
Onlyremoveasheswhenthefirehasdieddown.
Even then, expect to find a few hot embers.
Always leave 1 to 2 inches of ash in the bottom
of the firebox. This helps in easier starting and
a more uniform burn of your fire.
Ashesshouldbeplacedinametalcontainerwith
a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible floor or
on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes
