POLICY FOR SOLID FUEL BURNING & FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACES

The Regency® E21 may be installed and vented into any solid fuel fireplace that has been installed in accordance with the National, Provincial and local building codes and is constructed of non- combustible materials.

1)Installer must mechanically attach the sup- plied label to the inside of the firebox of the fireplace into which the gas fireplace insert is installed.

"WARNING: This fireplace has been converted for use with a gas fireplace insert only and cannot be used for burning wood or solid fuels unless all original parts have been replaced, and the fireplace re-approved by the authority having jurisdiction."

2)Do not cut any sheet-metal parts of the fireplace, in which the gas fireplace insert is to be installed.

3)If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1-1/2" (37.5mm) or less may be drilled though the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship like manner. This access hole must be plugged with a non-combustible insulation after the gas supply line has been installed.

4)The fireplace flue damper can be fully blocked open or removed for installation of the gas fireplace insert.

5)The fireplace and fireplace chimney must be clean and in good working order and constructed of non-combustible materials.

6)The chimney cleanouts must fit properly.

7)Refractory (firebricks), glass doors, screen rails, screen mesh and log grates can be removed from the fireplace before installing the gas fireplace insert.

8)Smoke shelves, shields and baffles may be removed if attached by mechanical fasteners. If any part is removed it must not weaken the structural integrity of the factory built.

9)Trim panels or surrounds shall not seal ventilation openings in the fireplace.
