INSTALLATION

RESIDENTIAL

INSTALLATION

1)Read all instructions before installing your Regency Stove. Install and use only in accordance with these installation and operating instructions. Be aware that local Codes and Regulations may override some items in this manual. Check with your local inspector.

2)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 dou- ble wall connector systems (see page 13).

3)To insure vertical alignment, suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling over the exact center of your stove flue and mark a spot on the ceiling to indicate the center of the chimney.

4)Check that the area above the ceiling is clear for cutting. Re-confirm the clearance from the stove to combustibles to insure that they are within the prescribed limits.

5)Install chimney according to chimney man- ufacturers instructions. The performance of your woodstove is governed to a very large part by the chimney system. Too short a chimney can cause difficult start-up, dirty glass, backsmoking when door is open, and even reduced heat output. Too tall a chim- ney may prompt excessive draft which can result in very short burn times and exces- sive heat output. The use of an inexpensive flue pipe damper may be helpful in reducing excessive draft.

CAUTION: The chimney should be the same size as the flue outlet on the stove. The

chimney must be listed as suitable for use with solid fuels. For other types of chim- neys check with your local building code officials. 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 on page 12.

6)Mark the location of the pedestal base or legs on the floor, then move the stove aside and mark the position of the floor protector.

7)The floor protector must be of non-combus- tible material and must extend 16" in front of the door opening and 6" to the sides and rear of the unit. Some areas may require a larger size floor protector. See your local inspector. For outside air installation refer to Mobile Home installation instructions on page 12.

NOTE: In Canada, floor protection must extend 18" to the front and 8" to each side of the stove.

8)When the floor protection is complete, po- sition the stove with the flue collar centered under the installed chimney.

9)In seismically active areas, Regency rec- ommends that your unit is secured to the floor by using the bolt down holes inside the pedestal (the same ones used in Mobile Home installations).

10)For residential installations using "C" Vent (single wall) the chimney connector must be at least 24 gauge steel. Do not use galvanized pipe. For Mobile Home installa- tion refer to the Mobile Home installation instructions on page 12.

11)Do not connect this unit to a chimney serv- ing another appliance unless approved by

your local building authority.

12)A chimney connector cannot pass through an attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or a floor, ceiling, wall or partition of combustible construction. In Canada, if passage through a wall, or par- tition of combustible construction is de- sired, the installation shall conform to CAN/ CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel- Burning Appliances and Equipment.

13)Your Regency Woodstove is not to be connected to any air distribution duct.

Emissions from burning wood or gas could contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

ROOM AIR

IMPORTANT

For installation using room air for combustion, remove knockout from the pedestal, and/or from the bottom if using a heat shield.

Mobile home installations require the use of outside air.

On pedestal units there are two locations where outside air may be adapted to the unit. If using the bottom of the pedestal, do not remove knockout from the rear of the pedestal. Only remove rear knockout if outside air will be brought in from the rear.

On leg units outside air can only be brought in from the bottom of the heat shield.

Note: Once the knockout is removed there are two tabs remaining. Bend both tabs out for ease of installa- tion when attaching outside air.

MODULAR INSTALLATION OPTIONS

The following items are required when assembling your Regency Stove. F1100 and F3100 units - the Rear Heat Deflector is supplied with the stove, but if you choose not to use it you must use the Airmate instead.

	Modular Part	Things to consider when choosing options:
		Clearances are different. See the chart on pages 8 and 9. Generally you can get closer clearances with the airmate
	F1100 & F3100 only:	than with the rear heat deflector.
	Airmate OR	Convection heat with Airmate vs. Radiant Heat with Rear Heat Deflector. The airmate pushes heat forward and into
	Rear Heat Deflector
		the room, the rear heat deflector deflects the heat upward. See installation instructions on page 10.
	(all units)	There are no performance differences with either the pedestal or legs. It is primarily a personal preference. Legs
	Pedestal OR	can be either painted steel, painted cast, or gold plated cast.
	Legs
		Leg installation requires the bottom shield. See installation instructions on page 11.
OPTIONS: These can be installed at time of installation or added later:
	Modular Option	Things to consider when choosing options
	Blower/Fan	Adding the blower will increase the area heated by the stove, it can move warm air beyond the room where the stove
		is installed. Installation instructions on page 16.
	Ash Drawer Kit	Adding the Ash Drawer Kit makes cleaning ashes out of the stove easier and cleaner. Installation instructions on page
		15.
