IMPORTANT: Please read and follow these rules for safety.
1)Before starting your fireplace installation, read these installation instructions careful- ly to be sure you understand them in their entirety. Failure to follow them could cause a fireplace malfunction resulting in serious injury and/or property damage.
2)Always check your local building codes. The installation must comply with all local, regional and state codes and regulations.
3)This model fireplace must be installed with one of the chimney systems listed in the Chimney Section in this manual. These systems are intended for use as a residen- tial type appliance. The chimney must always vent to the outside of the building.
4)To ensure a safe fireplace system and to prevent the build-up of soot and creosote, inspect and clean the fireplace and chim- ney prior to use and periodically during the heating season.
5)Use solid fuel only. DO NOT use artificial logs containing petroleum products, chem- ical chimney cleaners, gas logs, gas light- ers, salt contaminated wood or flame col- orants in your fireplace. When using com- pressed sawdust logs use only at 1/3 capacity since these get very hot and expand.
6)DO NOT use charcoal or coal under any circumstances.
7)NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or any liquid to start or “freshen up” a fire in this fireplace. Keep any flammable liquid a safe distance from the fireplace.
8)NEVER leave children unattended when there is a fire burning in the fireplace.
9)Allow the fireplace to cool before servicing. Always shut off any electricity to the fire- place while working on it. This will prevent any possible electrical shock.
10)Regency is not responsible for any smoking or related problems that may result from the lack of adequate com- bustion air. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that adequate combustion air has been provided for the fireplace.
11)Regency Industries Ltd. does not warranty “smoke free” operation nor are we respon- sible for inadequate system draft caused by mechanical systems, general construc- tion conditions, inadequate chimney heights, adverse wind conditions and/or unusual environmental factors or conditions be- yond our control.
12)DO NOT use a fireplace insert or any other product not specified by Regency for use with this fireplace.
13)Never, under any circumstances, install a fireplace, chimney component or any ac- cessories, supplied by Regency, that have visible or suspected physical damage as a result of handling or transportation. These items should be inspected by a Regency dealer or qualified factory representative to ensure safe condition. When in doubt, consult your Regency dealer.
14)It is recommended that power is supplied to the terminal block of the unit to allow for the installation of blower components now or at a future date.
Emissions from burning wood or gas could contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
