Maintenance

6)Do not permit creosote or soot buildup in the chimney system. Check and clean chimney at regular intervals.

7)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.

8)The insert consumes air while operating, provide adequate ventilation with an air duct or open a window while the insert is in use.

9)Do not use grates, irons or other methods for supporting fuel. Burn directly on the bricks.

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 distribu- tion duct.

12)Your insert should burn dry, standard ﬁre- 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 portion of sawmill waste is chemically treated lumber, which is illegal to burn in many areas. Chemically treated ﬁre logs also must not be burned in your insert.

13)Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet from your unit.

14)Do not burn salt drift wood as it will corrode your unit and void the warranty.

15)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.

CREOSOTE

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which form creosote when combined with moisture. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney ﬂue of a slow-burning ﬁre. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ﬂue lining. When ignited, this creosote can make an extremely hot ﬁre.

Removal for Cleaning etc.

Removal of your insert for cleaning purposes is usually not required if a proper installation has been done. In the event that removal is re- quired, be sure not to damage any parts needed for re-installation. In most cases removal and replacement of the bafﬂe system should allow full access for cleaning.

WARNING: Things to remember in case of chimney ﬁre:

1)Close draft control

2)Call the Fire Department

Ways to Prevent and

Keep Unit Free of Creosote

1)Burn insert with draft control wide open for about 15 minutes every morning during burn- ing season. This helps to prevent creosote deposits within the heating system.

2)Burn insert with draft control wide open for about 10 - 15 minutes every time you add fresh wood. This allows the wood to achieve the charcoal stage faster and burns up any wood vapors 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)Check the chimney at least twice a month during the burning season for creosote build-up.

6)Have chimney system and unit cleaned by competent chimney sweeps twice a year during the ﬁrst year of use and at least once a year thereafter or when needed.

MAINTENANCE OF

GOLD-PLATED DOORS

The gold electroplated ﬁnish on the doors requires little maintenance, and need only be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOTuse abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as they may harm the ﬁnish and void the warranty.

DOOR GASKET

If the door gasket requires replacement, 7/8" diameter material must be used. A proper high temperature gasket adhesive is required. A gasket repair kit, Part # 846-570 is available from your local Regency dealer.

DOOR LATCH

ADJUSTMENT

The door latch may require adjustment as the door gasket material compresses after a few ﬁres. Removal of the spacer washer, shown in the diagram below, will allow the latch to be moved closer to the door frame, causing a tighter seal. Remove and replace the nuts, washer as shown.

GLASS CLEANING

Only clean your glass window when it is cool. Your local retailer can supply you with special glass cleaner if plain water and a soft cloth does not remove all deposits.

GLASS

REPLACEMENT

Your Regency Insert is supplied with 5 mm. 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.

GLASS REMOVAL

Allow the stove to cool before removing or replac- ing glass. Remove the door from the insert and remove the glass retainer. Use caution when removing broken glass to prevent injury.

When placing the replacement glass in the door, make sure that the glass gasketing will properly seal your unit. Replace the retainer and tighten securely, but do not wrench down on the glass as this may cause breakage. Do not substitute materials. If your glass door does break, do not continue to use your unit until it has been replaced.
