 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.
 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.
 To insure vertical alignment, suspend a
plumb bob from the ceiling over the exact
center of your stove ue and mark a spot
on the ceiling to indicate the center of the
chimney.
 Check that the area above the ceiling is
clear for cutting. Re-conrm the clearance
from the stove to combustibles to insure
that they are within the prescribed limits.
 This woodstove must be connected to a
UL 103 HT (ULC S629) listed chimney or
a code approved masonry chimney with a
ue liner.
 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 difcult 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 ue pipe
damper may be helpful in reducing excessive
draft.
 : The chimney should be the same
size as the 6" ue 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 ofcials.
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.
 Mark the location of the pedestal base or legs
on the oor, then move the stove aside and
mark the position of the oor protector.
 The oor 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 oor protector.
See your local inspector. For outside air
installation refer to Mobile Home installation
instructions within this manual.
 When the oor protection is complete, posi-
tion the stove with the ue collar centered
under the installed chimney.
 In seismically active areas, Regency rec-
ommends that your unit is secured to the
oor by using the bolt down holes inside
the pedestal (the same ones used in Mobile
Home installations).
 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.

 A chimney connector cannot pass through
an attic or roof space, closet or similar
concealed space, or a oor, 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.

The following items are required when assembling your Regency Stove. F2400M unit - the Rear Heat Deector 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 deector.
Convection heat with Airmate vs. Radiant Heat with Rear Heat Deector. The airmate pushes heat forward and into the
room, the rear heat deector deects 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 re.

Once you have properly marked the position of
your unit and the oor 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 oor protector and the oor 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
oor 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 oor, 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.
 The stove must be permanently bolted to
the oor of the Mobile Home using the oor
screws provided.
 The stove must have a permanent outside
air source for combustion.
 The stove must be electrically grounded to
the steel chassis of the Mobile Home.
 A listed double-wall connector chimney
system, roof thimble, spark arrestor and roof
ashing kit suitable for use in Mobile Homes
must be used.
 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 tted at the point of exit for a height up to
7ft. (2130mm).
 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.
 The chimney system shall comply with Local
Requirements.
 Any openings in a chimney guard where
required must not permit the entrance of 3/4"
(19mm) diameter rod.

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 t
will ensure the tube will not move when the
unit is burning.

 During the rst few days it may be more
difcult to start the re. As you dry out your
rebrick and your masonry ue, your draft
will increase.
 For those units installed at higher elevations
or into sub-standard masonry replaces,
drafting problems may occur. Consult an
experienced dealer or mason on methods
of increasing your draft.
Some cracking and popping noises may be
experienced during the heating up process.
These noises will be minimal when your unit
reaches temperature.
 Before opening your door to reload, open
draft fully for approximately 10 to 15 seconds
until re has been re-established. This will
minimize any smoking.
 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
sufcient for the purpose. If you also have
a replace 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.

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 re.
Once all moisture has been removed, the
draft control may be adjusted to maintain
the re.
 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 re to adjust before
fully opening the door.
 The controls of your unit or the air supply
passages should not be altered to increase
ring for any reason.
 If you burn the unit too slowly or at too low
a setting your unit will not be operating as
efciently as it can. An easy rule of thumb
says that if your glass is clean, then your ue
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 ue as
often.
 After about 45 minutes, when your wood
has begun to burn strongly, adjust your draft
control down to keep the re at a moderate
level.

 Once a bed of coals has been established
on the rebrick hearth, you may adjust the
draft control to a low setting to operate the
unit at its most efcient mode.
 During the rst few res, keep the combus-
tion rate at a moderate level and avoid a
large re. Only after 5 or 6 such res can you
operate the stove at its maximum setting, and
only after the metal has been warmed.
 For the rst 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 rst few
times may damage the paint. Burn res at
a moderate level the rst few days.
 Do not place anything on the stove top dur-
ing the curing process. This may result in
damage to your paint nish.

 Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern
fuels, kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or
similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a re
in your heater. Keep all such liquids well
away from the heater while it is in use.
 Keep the door closed during operation and
maintain all seals in good condition.
 Do not burn any quantities of paper, gar-
bage, and never burn ammable uids
such as gasoline, naptha or engine oil in
your stove.
 If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
 Do not overre heater. If the chimney con-
nector, ue bafe or the stove top begin to
glow, you are over ring. Stop adding fuel and
close the draft control. Over ring can cause
extensive damage to your stove including
warpage and premature steel corrosion.
Over ring will void your warranty.
 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 re.
 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.
 The stove consumes air while operating,
provide adequate ventilation with an air
duct or open a window while the stove is in
use.
 Do not connect this unit to a chimney ue
serving another appliance.
 Do not use grates or andirons or other
methods for supporting fuel. Burn directly
on the bricks.
 Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15
seconds prior to slowly opening the door
when refuelling the re.
 Do not connect your unit to any air distribu-
tion duct.
 Your woodstove should burn dry, standard
rewood 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 re logs also
must not be burned in your woodstoves.
 Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet

 Do not allow ashes to build up to the loading
doors! Only remove ashes when the re has
died down. Even then, expect to nd a few
hot embers.
 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.
 Never start a re if the ash plug and ash
drawer are not in place. This will cause over
ring which can cause excessive warping of
the stove. Evidence of over ring can void
the warranty on your stove.
 The rebricks are brittle and can be damaged
if the plug is replaced carelessly or pieces
that are too large are forced through the
hole.

 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
rebox and burned during the next re or
removed through the door opening.
 Always leave 1/2 to 1 inch of ash in the
bottom of the rebox. This helps in easier
starting and a more uniform burn of your
re. Replace ash plug when ashes have
been removed.

To remove the drawer, lift slightly and slide
it out, and carry it away.
 When emptying the ash drawer, make sure
the ashes are cold. Ashes should be placed
in a metal container with a tight tting lid.
The closed container of ashes should be
placed on a non-combustible oor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible ma-
terials, pending nal 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.
 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.

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 re has
gone out and the unit cooled to below a useful
heat output range.

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.
