TECHNOLOGY
1) Before starting a fire, open the bypass
damper, and fully open the draft control.
Eco-Boost™
Hybrid System
Secondary Air Tube
Cleans up the emissions in the air
from the initial burn resulting in a
high heat output.
Catalytic Combustor
Creates consistent heat by slowly
re-burning wood smoke particles
that would normally go up
the chimney.
2) Using dry kindling and rolled newspa-
per, build a fire base as normal, and ignite
leaving the door slightly open.
Regency Pro-Series units run on
a hybrid catalytic system called
Eco-Boost™ technology. This hybrid
system allows the fuel to burn at a
slower rate utilizing its full potential.
Applicable for the following units:
CI2600 & HI400
4) Once the fire becomes established
add large logs to the firebox until it is
fully loaded. Typically, after 20-30 minutes
you should be able to close the bypass
damper as temperatures will have
reached the “active” zone (beyond 500º F,
260º C).
3) Allow the fire to build, adding kindling
until the fire has a hold. After 5-10 minutes
add medium sized logs, after a further 5-
10 minutes close the door.
5) Adjust the draft control for desired
burn rate.
To obtain maximum burn times between 10 – 14 hours, it is important to have
the firebox and catalyst up to temperature (beyond 500º F, 260º C), after the
firebox is fully loaded. Only then should the bypass damper and draft control be
closed for the long burn.
LONG BURNING PROCEDURES
• START UP PROCEDURE
bypass closed; located inside firebox (top front)
5)
1) With the unit and chimney now up to
operational temperature the reloading
process will require less time. At the end
of the burn cycle and to restart the unit,
open the door and spread the coals out
with a poker.
2) Then add some kindling or medium
sized logs. The wood will light up almost
immediately. Follow from STEP 4 above
to get your fire back up and firebox fully
loaded, for your next long burn.
Always leave a minimum 1-2 inches of ash. This will insulate the rebox base and
maintain a higher temperature bed of hot coals and embers for a cleaner, longer burn.
• CONTINUOUS OPERATION PROCEDURE
Pro-Series wood burning is a
different technology compared to
regular non-catalytic inserts.With
their new hybrid technology Pro-
Series units are highly efficient,
long burning appliances.
Understanding the Pro-Series
technology and recommended
wood burning process will help
you achieve extended burn
times and use less wood over the
heating season.

PERFORMANCE OPTIONS
Pro-Series units offer
flexibility and versatility. Enjoy
the comfort of a crackling fire
while entertaining (Fast & High
Burn), or set the unit to low and
maintain heat for hours on a
single load (Long & Even Burn).
Fast & High Burn Long & Even Burn
Desired for maximum heat and an
aesthetically pleasing fire
for ambience.
Maintaining a desired long burn and
even heat level. Perfect for overnight
use or while away from the home.
Burn Time Shorter burn: 3-6 hours Longer burn: 6-14 hours
Temperature Medium-high output Steady even output
Reloading More frequent to maintain desired
appearance and ambience
Less frequently; 2-3 times per day
depending on desired heat output
Visual Appearance
Large flickering flames; wood crackling;
fire moves upward through the cata-
lyst near the top front of the unit, and
through the flue
Lower flame height; surface of wood
appears as white ash; fuel ‘bakes’; logs
slowly consume themselves; catalyst
glows red
Log size
Small, medium, large sized pieces of
seasoned wood as required to provide
the desired fire effect
Large, dense, seasoned hardwood logs
deliver best results
Bypass Damper
Closed, after temperature reaches
active zone
(beyond 500º F, 260º C)
Closed, after temperature reaches
active zone
(beyond 500º F, 260º C)
Draft Control Open (or partially open) to provide
desired results Closed (or mostly closed)
DID YOU KNOW?
Hardwood will burn for
longer than the equivalent
amount of softwood.
SAFE REMOVAL OF ASHES
Always assume ashes are
still hot, use a steel bucket
for disposal.
WOOD SIZE GUIDE
Kindling Medium Large
Represents approximately
1/2 full load for a Pro-Series insert
FOR BEST RESULTS:
• Use soft wood for Kindling and Medium split logs for a fast burn
• Use seasoned hard wood Large logs for a long burn
(moisture content should be 20% or less)
WHEN RELOADING:
Each time you load fresh wood into the firebox, it is important to rst fully open the bypass damper and the
draft control to prevent smoke from rolling out.
Since reloading causes the unit to drop in temperature allow it to run for 10-15 minutes before closing the
bypass, and a further 10-15 minutes before closing the draft control.
