Regency Fireplaces are constructed with the highest quality materials and assembled under strict quality control procedures that ensure years of trouble free and reliable performance.

It is important that you read this manual thoroughly and fully understand the safe installation and operating procedures. The more you understand the way your Regency Fireplace operates, the more enjoyment you will experience from knowing that your unit is operating at peak performance.

BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FIREPLACE

1) Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new wood fireplace. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or even death. Install and use only in accordance with manufacturer's installation and operating instructions.
2) Check your local building codes - Building Inspection Department. You may require a permit before installing your fireplace. Be aware that local codes and regulations may override some items in the manual.
3) Notify your home insurance company that you plan to install a fireplace insert or freestanding heater.
4) THE FIREPLACE CAN GET VERY HOT. DO NOT INSTALL, PLACE OR POSITION TV'S, PAINTINGS, PICTURES, CANDLES, FURNITURE, DRAPES OR ANY OTHER COMBUSTIBLE ITEMS ON THE WALL OR NEAR THE FIREPLACE.
5) ENSURE THERE ARE NO EXHAUST FANS WITHIN THE VICINITY OF THE FIREPLACE AS THIS CAN CAUSE THE FIREPLACE TO EMIT FUMES BACK INTO THE ROOM.
6) ENSURE THERE IS ADEQUATE AIR SUPPLY WITHIN THE ROOM/ARE ATHE FIREPLACE IS BEING INSTALLED IN TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION OF THE FIREPLACE. INSTALL OPTIONAL OUTSIDE AIR KIT IF IN DOUBT.
7) EVALUATE THE LOCATION OF YOUR FIREPLACE AND OPTIONAL COMPONENTS. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO DETERMINE HOW THE FIREPLACE IS GOING TO BE FINISHED. THE FEATURES YOU WOULD LIKE TO INCORPORATE SUCH AS THE OUTSIDE AIR KIT AND EXTERNAL FAN KITS NEED TO BE EVALUATED PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.
8) DETERMINE WHAT THICKNESS OF YOUR DESIRED NON-COMBUSTIBLE FINISHING MATERIALS WILL BE INCLUDING THE HEAT RESISTANT NON-COMBUSTIBLE BOARD. THIS PRE-DETERMINED THICKNESS WILL DICTATE THE POSITION OF THE SUPPORT FLANGES, FRAMING AND OVERALL FINAL LOOK OF YOUR FIREPLACE.
9) Your fireplace is heavy and requires two or more people to move it safely. The fireplace can be badly damaged by mishandling and or injury can occur.
10) Do not connect the fireplace to a flue system servicing another appliance or an air distribution duct.

WARNING: CARELESS INSTALLATION IS THE MAJOR CAUSE OF SAFETY HAZARD. CHECK ALL LOCAL BUILDING AND SAFETY CODES BEFORE INSTALLATION OF UNIT.

THE APPLIANCE, WHEN INSTALLED, MUST BE ELECTRICALLY GROUNDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL CODES.

SAFETY GUIDELINES AND WARNINGS/CAUTIONS

1) Never use petrol, petrol 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 petrol, naptha or engine oil in your heater.
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 heater top begin to glow, you are overfiring. Stop adding fuel and close the draft control. Overfiring can cause extensive damage to your heater including warpage and premature steel corrosion. Overfiring 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 heater can be very hot. You may be seriously burned if you touch the heater while it is operating, keep children, clothing and furniture away. Warn children of the burn hazard. For safety reasons a guard around the fire is recommended.
8) The heater consumes air while operating, provide adequate ventilation with an air duct or open a window while the heater is in use or use optional outside air kit.
9) Do not use grates or andirons or other methods for supporting fuel. Burn directly on the base or bricks where supplied.
10) Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15 seconds prior to slowly opening the door when refuelling the fire.
11) Do not connect your unit to any air distribution duct.
12) Your wood fire should burn dry, standard firewood only. The use of cut timber, plywood, "mill ends", etc. is not allowed as this fuel can easily overheat your wood fire. Evidence of excessive overheating will void your warranty. As well, a large portion of sawmill waste is chemically treated timber, which is illegal to burn in many areas. Salt drift wood and chemically treated fire logs also must not be burned in your wood fire.
13) DO NOT OPERATE WITH BROKEN GLASS.

WARNING

Ensure that curtains, blinds and drapes cannot extend to or anywhere near the fire as this could cause an extremely dangerous operating condition.

These must be secured by any means possible.

Examples not limited to

If a window or door is opened, the wind/breeze could cause them to move.

APPLIANCE MAINTENANCE

CREOSOTE

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which when combined with moisture, form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool 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.

WARNING: Things to remember in case of a flue fire:

1. Close all draft and damper controls.

2. CALL THE FIRE BRIGADE.

Ways to Prevent and Keep Unit Free of Creosote

1) Burn heater with the draft control wide open for about 10-15 minutes every morning during burning season.
2) Burn heater 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.
4) A small hot fire is preferable to a large smouldering one that can deposit creosote within the system.
5) The flue should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.
6) Have flue system and unit cleaned by competent flue 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/) it should be removed to reduce the risk of a flue fire.

ASH REMOVAL

During constant use, ashes should be removed every few days.

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 heater box, under the loading door lip.
3) The firebricks are brittle and can be damaged if pieces that are too large are forced/thrown in.
4) Shovel out the ash into an appropriate container for removing ashes. The ash can still have hot embers so dispose of carefully. A large metal pail pail designed for ash removal is recommended. It should come with a tight fitting lid and wire handle for carrying.
5) Leave about 25mm of ash in the firebox. It will make it easier to build and maintain a fire. The hot coals tend to nestle into the ash and glow, adding more heat to the fuel and reflecting the heat back into the fire.

GLASS INSTALLATION

1. Remove the door from the heater by lifting it up off hinge pins.
2. Remove the top glass retainer.
3. Loosen the bolts on the bottom retainer.
4. Loosen screws on the left and right side retainers.
5. Remove the glass carefully and keep it aside.
6. Install a new gasket onto the window frame.
7. Install the new glass.
8. Reverse steps 1-4 to reassemble the unit.

Replacement Glass Part Number: 2510221

MAINTENANCE

It is very important to carefully maintain your heater, including burning seasoned wood and maintaining a clean heater and flue system. Have the flue cleaned before the burning season and as necessary during the season, as creosote deposits may build up rapidly. Moving parts of your heater 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 imperative 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 components can damage the heater and void warranty.

GLASS MAINTENANCE

Your Regency heater is supplied with Neoceram ceramic glass 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 dealer only, and follow our step-by-step instructions for replacement.

Allow the heater to cool down before cleaning the glass, do not clean the glass when it is hot and do not use abrasive cleaners as both will damage the glass.

DOOR LATCH ADJUSTMENT

The door latch may require adjustment as the door gasket material compresses over time.

Follow the steps below to allow the latch to be moved closer to the door frame, causing a tighter seal

1) Unscrew latching sleeve.
2) Move door latch back towards the firebox by a few millimetres.
3) Retighten latch bolts.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom	Possible Cause	Solution
Fire will not start or starts slowly	The combustion air control is closed, or insufficient combustion air is reaching the fire.	Ensure that the air control is open and that the air inlet is free from debris. If necessary crack open the fireplace door until the fire is started.
	Wet or insufficient kindling was used to try to start the fire	Use drier kindling and paper if necessary to start the fire. The initial burn helps to warm the flue and establish a proper draft.
	Trying to burn wet "fuel" wood will slow down the start	Use drier "fuel" wood for the fire, and allow more air space to start the fire. Wood should have a moisture content of 15-20% for best results. Use more kindling to dry the "fuel" wood.
	A negative air pressure in the home which can reverse or impede the natural flow of flue gasses.	Crack open a door or window, and turn off all exhaust devices. Typically increasing flue height will help to increase fireplace draw.
	A dirty or blocked flue or blocked air inlets can reverse or impede the natural flow of flue gasses.	Inspect the flue and fireplace for buildup or blockage and as necessary have the flue and fireplace cleaned.
Dirty Glass	The air control may have been closed to soon, slowing down the burn of the fire, which will allow deposits to stick to the glass	Leave the air control open longer, at least 10-15 minutes every time you insert fresh wood, to ensure the fire has reached optimum temperature and properly established a draft.
	Burning wet wood will slow the burn of the fire, produce more smoke, and allow unburned fuel to stick to the glass.	Use drier wood for the fire. Wood should have a moisture content of 15-20% for best results.
	A dirty flue, or an improperly sized or installed vent, will impede the flow of flue gasses slowing down the fire and allowing unburned fuel to stick to the glass.	Inspect the flue for buildup or blockage and to ensure that the proper size and configuration of venting was installed (refer to the Unit's manual) and as necessary have the flue cleaned, repaired, or replaced.
	An inadequate supply of combustion air will slow the burn and allow deposits to stick to the glass.	Ensure that air intakes are clean and clear of any debris. It may be necessary to install an outside air kit to provide adequate air supply.
	Worn gaskets will change the airflow of the fireplace and can allow deposits to stick to the glass.	Inspect and replace any worn gaskets to ensure proper airflow patterns within the unit.

Symptom	Possible Cause	Solution
Fire burning too fast	The door may have been left open, or the door latch may need adjustment.	Ensure that the door is properly closed and that when latched that the latch holds the door closed. If necessary adjust the latch (refer to the manual).
	Worn gaskets and/or an improperly installed ash plug (freestanding units) will change the airflow of the fireplace and can increase the speed of the burn by bypassing the air control system.	Inspect and replace any worn gaskets to ensure proper airflow patterns within the unit. Remove ash plug and clean the plug and surrounding area, then re-seat the plug into the bottom of the heater.
	The air control may have been left open, allowing the fire to burn faster	Once the fireplace has reached optimum temperature, adjust the primary air control to maintain optimum burn.
	Soft, rotten and extremely dry wood will burn quickly.	As much as possible use a dense and seasoned wood, preferably at 15-20% moisture content. If necessary mix newer, less seasoned wood with fuel that may be burning too fast.
	An overly tall flue may create an excessive draft, which will increase the speed of the burn.	Although heater pipe dampers are not recommended in today's EPA Certified units, it is possible to install a flue damper in the pipe at a height of 18" above the flue of the unit. This will restrict the flue gasses and help decrease the speed of the burn.
	CAUTIONIf the body of your unit starts to glow, you are overfiring the unit. STOP loading fuel immediately and close the draft control until the glow has completely subsided.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

With your unit now correctly installed and safety inspected by your local authority, you are now ready to start a fire. Before establishing your first fire, it is important that you fully understand the operation of your draft control.

WARNING: ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE TESTING AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED AS BREACHING AS/NZS 4013.

WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE.

WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS APPLIANCE WHEN IT IS OPERATING.

WARNING: DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN HEATER INSTALLATION CLEARANCES. CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: OPEN AIR CONTROL (AND DAMPER WHEN FITTED) BEFORE OPENING FIRING DOOR.

CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED WITH A CRACKED GLASS.

CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION: THE USE OF SOME TYPES OF PRESERVATIVE-TREATED WOOD AS A FUEL CAN BE HAZARDOUS.

AIR SLIDE CONTROL

Both the primary and air wash drafts are controlled by the control rod located at the bottom of the unit (when facing the unit). To increase your draft - pull right to open, and to decrease - push left. All units have a secondary draft system that continually allows combustion air to the induction ports at the top of the firebox, just below the flue baffle.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

BURN ONLY HARDWOOD TIMBER THAT HAS BEEN SEASONED AND THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE LESS THAN 20%.

FRESHLY CUT WOOD REQUIRES AT LEAST 12-18 MONTHS TO BE READY FOR USE.

USING SEASONED TIMBER WITH PROPER MOISTURE CONTENT WILL ENSURE DRAFT, CLEAN GLASS, EFFICIENCY AND HEAT OUTPUTS.

CAUTION: BURN UNTREATED AIR DRIED SEA- SONED HARDWOODS ONLY. OTHER MATERI- ALS SUCH AS WOOD PRESERVATIVES, METAL FOILS, COAL, PLASTIC, GARBAGE, SULPHUR COAL, BRIQUETTES OR OIL WILL DAMAGE THE FIRE AND ATMOSPHERE AND VOID THE WARRANTY.

"This wood heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to green or freshly cut hardwoods."

DO NOT BURN (WILL VOID WARRANTY)

• Treated wood
• Tea Tree
• Oil based woods
  • Coal
• Garbage
• Cardboard
• Solvents
• Colored Paper
• Trash

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For safety reasons and in order to avoid over firing of your unit do not burn your fire with the door open or ajar

WARNING: To build a fire in ignorance or to disregard the information contained in this section can cause serious permanent damage to the unit and void your warranty.

WOOD STORAGE

Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or covered 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.

WARNING: Do not over-fire this unit and always open the door slowly when reloading

LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE AND THE FIRST FEW FIRES

When your installation is completed and inspected you are ready for your first fire1

1) Split wood into 3 stacks: Kindling, Start Up, (larger pieces than kindling) and firewood.
2) Open draft control fully.
3) Open firebox door and build a small fire using paper and dry kindling on the firebrick base. Secure door on the firebox and wait a few minutes for a good updraft in the flue to establish the fire.
Add start up fuel and spread across the unit. It is important to create airspaces within the pieces of start up fuel for proper ignition and clean combustion. (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.
4) With the draft still in the fully open position add two or 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.
5) After about 45 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 heater. Always warm your heater up slowly!
6) Once a bed of coals has been established on the base of the firebox, you may adjust the draft control to a low setting to operate the unit at its most efficient mode.
7) 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 heater at its maximum setting, and only after the metal has been warmed.
8) For the first few days, the heater 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 temporary condition exists. Burning the heater at a very high temperature the first few times may damage the paint. Burn fires at a moderate level the first few days.
9) Do not place anything on the heater top during the curing process. This may result in damage to your paint finish.
10) During the first few days it may be more difficult to start the fire. As you dry out the firebrick and your masonry flue, the draft will increase.

e11) 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.
12) Some cracking and popping noises may be experienced during the heating up process. These noises will be minimal when your unit reaches temperature.
13) Before opening your door to reload, open draft fully for approximately 10 to 15 seconds until fire has been re-established. This will minimize any smoking. Open door slowly.
14) 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 Heater causing a draft down your flue. If this occurs, slightly open a window near your unit.

CAUTION: If the body of your unit, flue baffle 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.

15) 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.
16) If you have been burning your heater 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.
17) The controls of your unit or the air supply passages should not be altered to increase firing for any reason.
18) If you burn the unit too slowly or at too low a setting your unit will not be operating as efficiently as it can. An easy rule of thumb says that if your glass is clean, then your flue is clean and your exhaust is clean. Burn the heater hot enough to keep your glass clean and you won't need to clean your flue as often.

DO NOT OVERLOAD FIREPLACE OR COVER THE REAR SECONDARY TUBE. ENSURE COALS / FUEL ARE BEHIND LOG RETAINER DO NOT OPEN DOOR WITH A ROARING FIRE OR WITH AIR CONTROL IN LOW POSITION.

WHEN REFUELING ALWAYS ENSURE AIR CONTROL IS IN HIGH POSITION.
