RESIDENTIAL
INSTALLATION
Failure to install the appliance in con-
junction with the installation guide
and AS/NZS 2918:2001 will void the
warranty.
1) Please read this entire manual before you install
and use your new wood fire. Failure to follow in-
structions 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.
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 flue.
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 wood fire must be connected to a flue.
6) Install flue according to flue manufacturers
instructions. The performance of your wood
fire is governed to a very large part by the flue
system. Too short a flue can cause difficult
start-up, dirty glass, back smoking when door
is open, and even reduced heat output.
Too tall a flue 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.
The flue must be listed as suitable for use
with solid fuels. For other types of flues
check with your local building code offi-
cials. Do not confuse a flue with a type “B”
Venting System used for gas appliances
as suitable for a wood burning appliance.
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) When the floor protection is complete, position
the stove with the flue collar centered under the
installed flue.
9) In areas with frequent seismic activity, Regency
recommends that your unit is secured to the
floor by using the bolt down holes inside the
pedestal.
10) DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
11) Your Regency Wood fire is not to be connected
to any air distribution duct.
CAUTION:
Do not alter or makeshift flue or install.
Install as per Manual.
MODULAR INSTALLATION OPTIONS
WARNING: ONLY USE SPECIFIED COMPONENTS.
The following items are required when assembling your Regency Stove. F3502B unit - the Rear Heat Deflector is supplied with the stove, but if you choose
not to use it you must use the Airmate instead.
Modular Part See the Minimum Clearance to Combustible Materials chart in the Installation section of this manual
F3502B
Airmate OR
Rear Heat Deflector
Convection heat with Airmate vs. Radiant Heat with Rear Heat Deflector. The Airmate pushes heat forward out into
the room, the Rear Heat Deflector deflects the heat upward. Refer to the Installation sections within this manual.
OPTIONS: These can be installed at time of installation or added later:
Blower/Fan Adding the blower will increase the area heated by the stove, it can move warm air beyond the room where the stove
is located.
Ash Drawer Kit Adding the Ash Drawer Kit makes cleaning ashes out of the stove easier and cleaner (refer to Bottom Shield Ash
Drawer Kit, Installation section).
Airmate The Airmate pushes heat forward out into the room.
ROOM AIR - IMPORTANT
For installation using room air for combustion,
remove knockout from the pedestal.
Fresh air is important - if heater is starved for
air caused by exhaust fans or icing, the unit
will not operate properly.

STOVE ASSEMBLY
PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION
The F3502B unit requires the pedestal attached
to the base. The F3502B 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 F3502B
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 F3502B
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.
Side Shield Adjustment
The left and right side shields are lowered for ship-
ping 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.
1) 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.
2) If not using ash drawer, then cover plate must
be installed.

STEP-BY-STEP
FLUE AND CONNECTOR
INSTALLATION
Note: These are a generic set of flue instal-
lation instructions. Always follow
the manufacturers own instructions
explicitly. Verify the Minimum Recom-
mended Heights for Wood fire Flue
(Table 1 in the Installation section).
AS/NZS 2918:2001 installation of solid
fuel burning appliance.
1. With your location already established, cut
and frame the roof hole. It is recommended
that no ceiling joist be cut for flue and support
box installation. If it is necessary to cut them,
the joist must be made structurally sound.
2. Install radiant shield and support from above.
3. Stack the flue pipe onto your finish support
to a minimum height of 1m above the roof
penetration, or 0.6m above any point within
3m measured horizontally. There must be at
least 1m of flue above the roof level.
NOTE: Ensure each section of flue is positively
attached and secured.
Note: Increasing the flue height above this
minimum level will sometimes help
your unit to “breathe” better by allow-
ing a greater draft to be created. 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 required height,
and then if problems do arise add ad-
ditional height at a later date.
4. Slide the roof flashing over your flue 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, seal-
ing the joints with a silicone caulking.
6. Fasten the raincap to the top of your flue.

FAN INSTALLATION
FAN INSTALLATION
(240V FAN)
1) Remove the two screws from the top of the fan housing.
2) Slide the fan up into the rear heat shield.
3) After aligning holes, secure the fan to the rear heat shield using
the two screws removed earlier.
Note: The power cord should not be in contact with any hot
surfaces.
WARNING: FAN ASSEMBLY MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM
THE SOURCE OF ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING THE INSTALLATION.
FAN OPERATION
AUTOMATIC
To operate the fan automatically, push the bottom 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 operat-
ing 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.
If the fan cycles on and off continuously the thermo switch sensor is
not making contact with the stove body. Remove the fan, bend the
bracket closer to the stove and re-install the fan.
MANUAL
To manually operate the fan system push the bottom 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.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnec-
tion when servicing controls. Wiring errors
can cause improper and dangerous operation.
WARNING: Electrical Earthing Instructions
This appliance is equipped with a three pronged
(earthing) plug for your protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a prop-
erly earthed three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or

operating instructions
WARNING: To build a fire in igno-
rance or to disregard the information
contained in this section can cause
serious permanent damage to the unit
and void your warranty!!
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
With your unit now correctly installed you are now
ready to start a fire. Before establishing your
first fire, it is important that you fully understand
the operation of your Catalytic combustor and
draft control.
WARNING
Fireplace Stoves equipped with doors
should be operated only with doors
fully closed. If doors are left partly open,
gas and flame may be drawn out of the
fireplace stove opening, creating risks
from both fire and smoke.
IMPORTANT
FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and inspected
you are ready for your first fire.
THIS UNIT IS DESIGNEDTO BURN SEASONED
HARDWOOD ONLY. COAL AND BRIQUETTES
ARE NOT APPROVED.
1. Open the catalytic by-pass control fully.
(Handle facing forward)
2. Open firebox door and build a small fire using
paper and dry kindling on the firebrick base,
DO NOT USE A GRATE 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 catalytic by-pass damper still in the fully
open position, add two or three seasoned logs
to your fire in front to back configuration. Form
a trench in the ash bed to allow air to reach the
rear of the firebox prior to closing the door.
4. The temperature in the stove and the gases
entering the combustor must reach between
260˚ C - 370˚C for catalytic activity to start. From
the start up of a cold stove, a medium to high
firing rate must be maintained for 30min. This
ensures that the stove, catalyst and fuel are
all stabilized at proper operating temperatures.
Even though it is possible to have temperatures
at 315˚ C within minutes after a fire has been
started, if the fire is allowed to die down imme-
diately it may go out or the combustor may stop
working. Once the combustor starts working,
heat generated in it by burning the smoke will
keep it working. During re-fueling and rekindling
of the cool fire, or a fire that has burned down
to the charcoal phase, operate the stove at a
medium to high firing rate for about 10 minutes
to ensure that the catalyst reaches operating
temperatures
WARNING: Never build a roaring fire in
a cold stove. Always warm your stove
up slowly!
5. During the first few fires, keep the combustion
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.
6. 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 seasoned.
Windows and/or doors should be left open to
provide adequate ventilation while this tem-
porary condition exists. Burning the stove at a
very high temperature the first few times may

Primary Air Damper
Catalyst Bypass Control
DRAFT CONTROL
Both the primary and air wash drafts are controlled
by the control slide located on the front left side
of the unit (when facing the unit). To increase your
draft - slide to the left to open, and to decrease
- slide to the right closed. The F3502B unit has
a secondary draft system that continually allows
combustion air to the induction ports at the top of
the firebox, just in front of the catalytic combustor.
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance
up through the flue. The amount of draft in your flue
depends on the length of the flue, local geography,
nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much
draft may cause excessive temperatures in the ap-
pliance and may damage the catalytic combustor.
Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into the
room and plugging of the flue or catalyst.
damage the paint. Burn fires at a moderate level
the first few days.
7. Do not place anything on the stove top during
the curing process. This may result in damage
to your paint finish.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Some cracking and popping noises may be
experienced during the heating up process.
These noises will be minimal when your unit
reaches temperature.
11. 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 flue.
If this occurs, slightly open a window near your
unit.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit, or
any part of the flue connector starts to
glow, you are over firing. Stop loading
fuel immediately and close the draft
control until the glow has completely
subsided.
12. 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.
13. If operating your fire on LOW, MED to HIGH
setting, it is recommended to keep the bypass
door open initially after loading . Once loaded,
always ensure bypass is CLOSED during op-
eration.
How to Light and
Maintain a Wood Stove Fire

|
16 operating instructions
16. The controls of your unit or the air supply pas-
sages should not be altered to increase firing
for any reason.
17. If you burn the unit too slowly or at too low a set-
ting your unit will not be operating as efficiently
as it can. An easy rule of thumb says that if
your glass is clean, catalytic thermostat is ac-
tive, then your flue is clean and your exhaust is
clean. Burn the stove hot enough to keep your
glass clean and catalytic combustor ,you won't
need to clean your flue as often.
FAN OPERATION
Automatic
To operate the fan automatically, push the bottom
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.
Route power cord to either left or right behind unit.
Manual
To manually operate the fan system push the bottom
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.
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.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
AND WARNINGS
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS FOR FLUIDS
TO START FIRE.
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, garbage, 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 flue connector,
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 warping and
premature steel corrosion. Over firing will void
your warranty.
6. Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in the
flue system. Check and clean flue at regular
intervals. Failure to do so can result in a serious
flue 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 flue 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 distribution
duct.
13. This heater is designed to burn natural wood
only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions
generally result when burning air dried sea-
soned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods
or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
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.
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 materials, 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.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP
CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNI-
TURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE
SKIN BURNS.
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.

CREOSOTE
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and
other organic vapours combine with moisture to
form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in
the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow burning
fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on
the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote can
result in an extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be
inspected at least once every two months during
the heating season to determine if creosote build
up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it
should be removed to reduce the risk of chimney fire.
CAUTION: Things to remember in case 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) Burn stove with the draft control wide open
for about 10-15 minutes every morning during
burning season.
2) Burn stove with draft control wide open for about
10 - 15 minutes every time you apply fresh wood.
This allows the wood to achieve the charcoal
stage faster and burns up any unburned gas
vapours which might otherwise be deposited
within the system.
3) Only burn seasoned wood! Avoid burning
wet or green wood. Seasoned wood has been
dried at least one year.
WOOD STORAGE
Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or cov-
ered 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 stove,
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 stove require no
lubrication. The integrity of all heater parts including
baffle plates, cast iron liners, fire bricks, air tubes,
air bars, door rope seals, and door glass is impera-
tive for the correct operation and longevity of your
Regency Wood heater. They should be inspected
on a regular basis and replaced if they show any
signs of undue wear or damage. Failure of any of
these componenets can damage the heater and
void warranty.
4) A small hot fire is preferable to a large smoul-
dering one that can deposit creosote within the
system.
5) The chimney and chimney connector should be
inspected at least once every two months during
the heating season to determine is a creosote
buildup has occurred.
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 accumulated (3 mm/1/8" or
more) it should be removed to reduce the
risk of a chimney fire.
DOOR CATCH
ADJUSTMENT
The door Catch may require adjustment as the
door gasket compresses after a few fires. The
door latch compression may require adjustment to
renew seal. Removal of the spacer washer, (see
page 28), will allow the latch to be moved closer
to the door frame, causing a tighter seal. Remove
and replace the nuts, washer and spacer as shown
on in this manual.
DOOR GASKET
If the door gasket requires replacement 5/8" diameter
material must be used. Regency uses a gasket rope
5/8" Medium Density (Part #846-530). A proper high
temperature gasket adhesive is required. See your
Regency Dealer.
GLASS MAINTENANCE
Your Regency stove is supplied with 5mm Neoceram
ceramic glass (Part #940-416/P) 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 deal-
er only, and follow our step-by-step instructions for
replacement (refer to Glass Replacement section).
Allow the stove to cool down before cleaning
the glass. Cleaning the glass will prevent build
up of carbon and allow full view of the fire.
WARNING: Do not clean the glass when it is hot.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners, a damp
cloth and glass cleaner is effective.
THERMOMETER
The catalyst thermometer is only a indication of
the flue gas temperature as they pass through
the catalyst. The thermostat probe that is in-
serted into the opening, must be cleaned at least
once a year. Use 220 sand paper to clean probe.
GLASS REPLACEMENT
Allow the stove to cool before removing or replacing
glass. Remove the door from the stove and remove
the glass retainer. To avoid injury use caution when
removing broken glass. Wear safety gloves. When
placing the replacement glass in the door, make
sure that the glass gasketing will properly seal
your unit. Replace the retainer, it should rest on
the gasket not the glass, and tighten securely with
a glass clips and screws. Do not wrench down on
the glass as this may cause breakage.
Do not use substitute materials. If your glass does
break, do not use your unit until it has been replaced.
WARNING: Do not abuse the door by striking or
slamming shut. Cracked glass can cause the heater
to overfire.

CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR
ACHIEVING AND MAINTAINING CATALYST LIGHT-OFF:
The temperature in the stove and the gases entering the combustor must
be raised to between 260C to 371C for catalytic activity to be initiated.
During the start up of a cold stove a medium to high firing rate must be
maintained for about 30 minutes. This ensures that the stove, catalyst and
fuel are all stabilized at proper operating temperatures. Even though it is
possible to have temperatures at 316C within minutes after a fire has been
started, if the fire is allowed to die down immediately it may go out or the
combustor may stop working. Once the combustor starts working, heat
generated in it by burning the smoke will keep it working. During re-fueling
and rekindling of the cool fire, or a fire that has burned down to the char-
coal phase, operate the stove at a medium to high firing rate for about 10
minutes to ensure that he catalyst reaches operating temperatures.
There are some obvious signs of trouble that your inspection may reveal.

and rekindling of the cool fire, or a fire that has burned down to the char-
coal phase, operate the stove at a medium to high firing rate for about 10
minutes to ensure that he catalyst reaches operating temperatures.
CATALYST MONITORING: It is important to periodically monitor the
operation of the catalytic combustor to ensure that it is functioning properly
and to determine when it needs to be replaced. A non-functioning combus-
tor will result in a loss of heating efficiency, and an increase in creosote
and emissions. Following is a list of items that should be checked on a
periodic basis.
• Combustors should be visually inspected at least three times during the
heating season to determine if physical degradation has occurred. Actual
removal of the combustor is not recommended unless more detailed
inspection is warranted because of decreased performance. If any of
these conditions exist, refer to Catalyst trouble shooting section of this
owner’s manual.
• A good combustor is designed to withstand approximately 12,000 hours
of continuous use. This will translate into five to ten years of use, depend-
ing on the length of your heating season and how often you use your
stove. Proper maintenance will increase the combustor’s effectiveness
and prevent many problems. Inspect your combustor before each heating
season, and during the season if your stove’s performance seems to
change.
• This catalytic heater is equipped with a temperature probe to monitor
catalyst operation. Properly functioning combustors typically maintain
temperatures in excess of 260C and often reach temperatures in excess
of 538C. If catalyst temperatures are not in within, refer to Catalyst
trouble shooting section of this manual.
• You can get an indication of whether the catalyst is working by compar-
ing the amount of smoke leaving the chimney when the smoke is going
through the combustor and catalyst light – off has been achieved, to the
amount of smoke leaving the chimney when the smoke is not routed (by-
pass open) through the combustor.
CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR CLEANING:
Method #1
A vacuum cleaner may be used, but never use high pressured air to
blow the cells free of any build-up. This can damage the cell walls. Any
cell blockage can be removed with the use of a pipe cleaner or a cotton
swab as well.
Method #2
Should the combustor’s cells become covered with fly-ash, use a paint-
brush or soft-bristled brush and dust the combustor gently.
Never use anything abrasive to clean the combustor.
Method #3
Normally the catalytic combustor requires little or no maintenance, it
generates such high temperatures and therefore is basically self-cleaning.
However, should the combustor become covered with soot or creosote, it
is possible to burn the accumulation off by opening the bypass and build-
ing a hot fire.
Once the hot fire is created, close the bypass halfway and burn for 30
to 60 minutes with the bypass left in this position. Never use cleaning
solvents to clean it.
Check and clean the combustor, if necessary, before each burning sea-
son and inspect the flue system for any signs of creosote buildup.
A clean flue helps prevent chimney flue fires.

Step 1: Light the stove in accordance with instructions within this
manual.
Step 2: With smoke routed through the catalyst (by-pass closed)
go outside and observe the emissions leaving the chimney.
Step 3: Engage the bypass mechanism and move to by-pass
open position. And again observe the emission leaving the
chimney. Significantly more smoke should be seen when
the smoke is not routed through the combustor (by-pass
open). Be careful not to confuse smoke with steam.
ACHIEVING PROPER DRAFT: Draft is the force which moves air from the
appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions
and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the
appliance and may damage the catalytic combustor. Inadequate draft may
cause back puffing into the room and plugging of the chimney or catalyst.

The catalytic thermometer on top of the stove should read in the active zone
after the stove has been in operation for several hours. If the thermometer's
indicator needle does not stay in the active zone, even with a hot fire, over a
period of regular use, the catalyst may need to be cleaned. If this persists it
may be necessary to replace it.
If the combustor must be examined or replaced, follow this procedure:
1. Allow the stove to burn out and cool down.
2. Remove stainless steel smoke deflector - See instructions in this manual.
3. Open the door and loosen the two 7/16” bolts -see locations below.
4. Lift flame shield slightly upwards in keyhole slot and pull it forward and down.
COMBUSTOR ASSEMBLY
REMOVAL / REPLACEMENT:
5. Use a pair of pliers and gently slide out the band at each end. The assembly
will loosen enough that it can be pulled forward, lowered, and pulled out
through the door.
TO REPLACE THE COMBUSTOR:
First clean the combustor area and the area around the by-pass,use a
vacuum cleaner.
Lift the new combustor into position, with the stainless flanges on each end
facing forward.
The combustor should slide easily into position, you may need to pinch down
the top center with your finger to start, gently push as far to the back of the
stove as possible.
Replace the flame shield in the orientation shown below.
Lift it into position, place the key slot opening over the bolt and push the flame
shield down to seat. Tighten the bolt till its SNUG only, do not over tighten.
The flame shield should rest at an angle (about 45 degrees) with the thin
end at the bottom and the thick end near the top of the stove.
NOTE: Replacement combustors can be retrieved from Applied Ceramics
or Contact your local Regency Dealer for details.
DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IF COMBUSTOR BECOMES
INACTIVE - DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT COMBUSTOR.
NOTE: If also replacing the gasket in the bypass door (see next page),
