INSTALLATION
When your installation is completed and in-
spected, you are ready for your rstre.
Open draft control fully.
Open rebox door and build a small re using
paper and dry kindling on the rebrick hearth,
wait a few minutes for a good updraft in the
ue to establish the re. Leaving the door
slightly open will help your re start more
rapidly.
With the draft still in the fully open position,
add two or three seasoned logs to your re.
Form a trench in the ash bed to allow air to
reach the rear of the rebox prior to closing
the door.
After about 15 to 20 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,
you may adjust the draft control to a low
setting to operate the unit in its most efcient
mode.
During the rst couple of hours, keep the
combustion rate at a moderate level and
avoid a large re until the paint is cured.
Only then can you operate the insert at its
maximum setting, and only after the metal
has been warmed.
For the rst few hours, the insert will give off
an odor 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
insert 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 insert top
during 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 large quantities of paper in your
insert.
If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
Do not overre your insert. If the insert begin
to glow, you are overring. Stop adding
fuel and close the draft control. Overring
can cause extensive damage to your stove
including warpage and premature steel cor-
rosion. Overring will void your warranty.
Do not permit creosote or soot buildup in the
chimney system. Check and clean chimney
at regular intervals.
Your Regency Insert can be very hot. You
may be seriously burned if you touch the
insert while it is operating. Warn children
of the burn hazard.
The insert consumes air while operating,
provide adequate ventilation with an air
duct or open a window while the insert is in
use.
Do not use grates, irons 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 insert should burn dry, standard re-
wood only. The use of “mill ends” is discour-
aged as this fuel can easily overheat your
insert. Evidence of excessive overheating
will void your warranty. As well, a large por-
tion of sawmill waste is chemically treated
lumber, which is illegal to burn in many areas.
Chemically treated re logs also must not
be burned in your insert.
Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet from
your unit.
Do not burn salt drift wood as it will corrode
your unit and void the warranty.
Do not operate the unit if the glass is broken
or missing. Do not operate the unit if the
gasketing is worn out and not sealing the
door or the glass.
It is very important to carefully maintain your
insert, 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 insert require no lubrication.
