Frequently Asked Questions - Mansfield L850B ST Regency

What type of wood can I burn in the Mansfield L850B ST?

Burn only untreated, air-dried seasoned hardwoods with moisture content below 20%. Do not burn treated wood, tea tree, oil-based woods, coal, cardboard, solvents, colored paper, or household waste.

What are the minimum clearance requirements?

The enclosure must use non-combustible framing and finishing. A 25 mm clearance is needed between any vertical or horizontal stud and the reduced clearance box. Triple skin flue requires 50 mm clearance to combustibles. The floor protector must extend 300 mm from the door (recommended 900 mm in front).

How do I start a fire?

Open the air slide fully. Use paper and dry kindling to start. Add start-up wood, then once established, add seasoned logs. After about 45 minutes, adjust air slide to moderate level. Never use flammable liquids to start or rekindle the fire.

How often should I clean the flue?

Inspect the flue at least every two months during heating season. Clean when creosote buildup reaches 3 mm. Have the flue professionally cleaned at least once a year, or more frequently if needed.

Why is my glass getting dirty?

Dirty glass can result from closing the air control too soon, burning wet wood, a dirty flue, insufficient combustion air, or worn door seals. Leave the air slide open for 10-15 minutes after reloading, and burn only seasoned hardwood to keep glass clean.

What should I do if the fire burns too fast?

Check that the door is properly closed and latched. Ensure the air slide is not left fully open. Worn seals can also cause excessive draft. If the flue is too tall, a flue damper may help. If the unit glows, you are overfiring – stop loading fuel and close the air slide and doors immediately.

How do I replace the glass?

Use approved personal protective equipment. Remove the door, then remove the top glass retainer, loosen bottom retainer bolts, and loosen side retainer screws. Carefully remove the old glass, install a new glass seal, place the new glass (part #2510221), and reassemble in reverse order.

Can I install a fan kit?

Yes, up to two optional fan kits can be installed. Each uses 150 mm diameter flexible duct with a maximum run of 9 meters. The fan housing must have 6 mm clearance to combustibles and be mounted to 407 mm on-center studs. Wiring must be done by a qualified electrician.

What is the warranty coverage?

The welded firebox steel is covered for 15 years, with labor for the first 2 years. Other components like stainless steel, air tubes, glass (thermal breakage), and electrical parts have 1-5 year coverage. Firebricks are not covered. See the full warranty in the manual for details.

Do I need outside air for this fireplace?

It is strongly recommended for airtight homes (e.g., 5-6 Star energy rated). The optional outside air kit must be installed before the fireplace is placed on the base frame. Ensure the base is hollow in the center to allow connection.

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 wood 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/AREA THE 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 FINISH TRIM, OUTSIDE AIR AND FAN KIT NEED TO BE EVALUATED BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION.
8) DETERMINE WHAT THE THICKNESS OF YOUR DESIRED NON-COMBUSTIBLE FINISHING MATERIALS WILL BE INCLUDING THE NON-COMBUSTIBLE BOARD. THIS PREDETERMINED THICKNESS WILL DICTATE THE POSITION OF THE NAILING STRIPS, 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 HAZARDS. 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, flue baffle or the heater top begin to glow, you are overfiring. Stop adding fuel and close the air slide control and both doors. 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 air slide control fully for 10 to 15 seconds prior to slowly opening the door when refuelling the fire.
11) Your wood fire should burn dry, hardwood, 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.

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.

Physical movement by an adolescent child.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS UNIT PREPARATION/FRAMING

BEFORE INSTALLING ENSURE THE FOLLOWING:

READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL

EVALUATE THE LOCATION OF YOUR FIREPLACE AND LOCATION OF OPTIONAL COMPONENTS SUCH AS FAN, OUTSIDE AIR AND FINISH TRIMS.

DETERMINE THE THICKNESS OF YOUR DESIRED NON-COMBUSTIBLE FINISHING MATERIALS INCLUDING THE REQUIRED NON-COMBUSTIBLE BOARD. THIS PREDETERMINED THICKNESS WILL DICTATETHE ENCLOSURE DEPTH, POSITION OF THE NAILING STRIPS, FRAMING AND OVERALL FINAL LOOK OF YOUR FIREPLACE.

The unit comes standard with nailing strips and clean edge frame installed on both sides. The clean edge frame comes with 20 mm standoff brackets on the top edge plus left & right hand sides (not on bottom) to ensure clearance to finished wall material.

Clean edge frame: MAXIMUM THICKNESS OF FINISHING MATERIAL: 15MM

1. Determine the location of the fireplace, flueing location and locations of the options such as the Fan Kit and outside air.
2. Construct your base frame. Please see BASE FRAME instructions on page 11. The base frame is required TO RAISE THE UNIT in order to meet the 300mm clearance to the floor protector.

1. Install the floor protector (see page on Installation instructions).

2. Frame out side walls only of the fireplace enclosure. DO NOT FRAME FRONT OR BACK WALL. All framing for the walls of the enclosure need to be constructed using steel studs. Please refer to page on clearances for clearances and enclosure depth.

3. Install the base frame and secure to the floor / floor protector ensuring the frame is level.

4. Due to the large capacity of the firebox, most homes (especially 'air tight' 5 or 6 Energy Star Rates homes) will require an external air supply to ensure that the fire receives sufficient combustion air. If using optional outside air kit please refer to the outside air kit in this manual. The optional air kit adapter must be installed prior to the unit being positioned on to the base frame. Install flexible duct from air kit adapter to external air source.

5. Install the fireplace on the base frame. Secure fireplace to the base frame

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS UNIT PREPARATION/FRAMING

1. Frame out the front & back walls of the enclosure using steel studs - refer to pages of this manual for clearances. Leave a 5 mm gap from the side of the Reduced Clearance Bos to any horizontal or vertical steel stud to allow for expansion.
2. You are now ready to install the flueing.

Please refer to Flue requirements in this manual then install your flue system.

1. After the flue has been installed, complete the install of your optional kits such as fan/heat distribution kit(s) and/or outside air kit.

When cutting a rectangular opening in the finishing material to fit around the clean edge :

Width

The width of the opening must include the actual width of the clean edge finish (outside edge to outside edge) plus allow for the 20 mm stand-offs on the left & right sides

Height

The height of the opening must include the actual height of the clean edge finish (outside edge to outside edge) plus allow for the 20 mm stand-offs on the top edge plus a 5 mm air gap along the bottom edge

The actual position of the opening in the facing material will depend on site conditions, finished floor level, the height of the reduced clearance box off floor protector level, etc. We suggest, to avoid errors, that these measurements be taken when the heater is actually installed in its final location.

Framing Width = Fireplace Width (569mm) less 2 x Cladding Thickness

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS UNIT PREPARATION/FRAMING

1. Install the nailing strips. The unit comes with eight nailing strips. The top, left and right side are all the same and the bottom one is the smaller piece. Install the top and side nailing strips with the slotted side on the unit. The left and right nailing strips should NOT be touching the floor. Secure with the screws provided. Install the bottom small nailing strip and secure to the left and right vertical ones. DO NOT TIGHTEN SCREWS on the top, left and right nailing strips.

Note: Keep left and right nailing strips off the floor to allow for adjust ability

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS UNIT PREPARATION / FRAMING & WALL FINISHING

IMPORTANT: DO NOT BEGIN FRAMING UNTIL THIS STEP HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

1. Set the Adjustable Nailing Strips in position by using a piece of the non-combustible cladding and finishing material as a gauge.
2. Hold the piece of cladding and finishing material flush with the front edge of the clean edge finish.
3. Slide the Adjustable Nailing Strips so they are tight against the back of the non-combustible cladding material and tighten the screws to lock the angles in place.
4. Repeat on the other side of the Mansfield fireplace.

1. Install the steel framing: Both walls require construction of non-combustible materials including the framing. Steel stud framing must be used. Install the left and right vertical steel frame and secure to the nailing strips. Position the steel frame behind the nailing strip. Install the top horizontal steel frame and secure to the top nailing strip.

1. Finish constructing the remainder of the front wall using steel framing. Ensure the framing is level and plumb and there is enough framing to secure the required non-combustible finishing material.
2. Install the non-combustible finishing material. Ensure there are no seams on the top and sides as these areas get extremely hot. Having no seams on the top and side will prevent cracking. Use only high heat non-combustible finishing material.
3. ENSURE ALL ADHESIVES / GLUES ETC. ARE HIGH HEAT RESISTANT. ALLOW BONDING AGENTS TO CURE PROPERLY BEFORE FIRING UNIT.

OPTIONAL OUTSIDE AIR KIT INSTALLATION

Due to the large capacity of the firebox, most homes (especially 'air tight' 5 or 6 Energy Star Rated homes) will require an external air supply to ensure that the fire receives enough combustion air. The Outside Air Kit cannot be fitted after the fireplace has been installed.

Provision will need to be made to extend the flex ducting for the Outside Air Kit to an external vent located through a wall, eaves or roof flume (not supplied).

When installing the outside air kit please ensure your pedestal base the unit sits on is hollow in the centre. The outside adapter attaches to the bottom of the unit. It is recommended not to down-size the outside air ducting.

1. Evaluate your base frame. Ensure there is adequate space to allow the hook up of the adapter beneath the reduced clearance box.
2. Gently lay the unit on its back to access the bottom. Remove the cover plate located on the bottom of the reduced clearance box accessing the primary air control.

FIREBRICK INSTALLATION

Some firebricks are not in place at time of delivery to prevent damage.

Place 2 right and 2 left vertical bricks at sides of fireplace first.

Then place 2 bottom bricks in position.

3 x Baffle Bricks need to be placed in position at top of firebox.

Firebricks are included as an integral part of the unit and not only enhance operating performance hence compliance of the unit but also to extend the life of your firebox.

Bricks must be replaced if damaged in any way in order not to Void the Warranty

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 both door & the air slide.

2. CALL THE FIRE BRIGADE.

Ways to Prevent and Keep Unit Free of Creosote

1) Burn heater with the air slide wide open for about 10-15 minutes every morning during burning season.
2) Burn heater with air slide 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 hardwood! 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, ash should be removed every few days.

Safety Precautions

1) Do not allow ash to build up to the loading doors. Only remove ash when the fire has died down. Even then, expect to find a few hot embers.
2) The firebricks are brittle and can be damaged if logs that are too large or forced/thrown in.
3) 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 bucket designed for ash removal is recommended. It should come with a tight fitting lid and wire handle for carrying.
4) 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

ALWAYS ENSURE APPROVED PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IS USED WHEN HANDLING DAMAGED GLASS

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 glass seal 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 fire bricks, air tubes, door rope seals, and door glass seal 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 rope seal 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) Loosen Door Latch securing bolts.
2) Move door latch back towards the firebox by a few millimetres to create a firmer door seal.
3) Retighten latch bolts.

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 SEASONED HARDWOODS ONLY. OTHER MATERIALS 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 hardwood 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
• Cardboard
• Solvents
• Colored Paper
  • Household Waste

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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

operating instructions

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

1) Split wood into 3 stacks: Kindling, Start Up, (larger pieces than kindling) and firewood.

2) Open air slide 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 wood and spread across the unit. It is important to create airspaces within the pieces of start up wood 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 air slide 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 air slide 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 air slide control to a lower 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 cures. 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.

(4.1) 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 air slide 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 an open 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 starts to glow, you are over firing. Stop loading fuel immediately and close the draft control until the glow has completely subsided.

15) If you have been burning your heater on a low draft, use caution when opening the door. After opening the air slide, open the door a crack, and allow the fire to adjust before fully opening the door.

16) The controls of your unit or the air supply passages should not be altered to increase firing for any reason.

17) 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 SECONDARY TUBES. 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 OPEN POSITION.

operating instructions 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 seals will change the airflow of the fireplace and can allow deposits to stick to the glass.	Inspect and replace any worn seals 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 seals 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 seals to ensure proper airflow patterns within the unit.
	The air slide 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.
	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 air slide control & both doors until the glow has completely subsided.
