SAFETY GUIDELINES AND
WARNINGS
1)Never use gasoline, gasoline 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 gasoline, naptha or engine oil in your stove.
4)If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
5)Do not overfire heater. If the chimney connector, flue baffle or the stove top begin to glow, you are overfiring. Stop adding fuel and close the draft control. Overfiring can cause extensive damage to your stove including warpage and premature steel corrosion. Overfiring will void your warranty.
6)Do not permit creosote or soot
7)Your Regency stove can be very hot. You may be seriously burned if you touch the stove while it is operating, keep children, clothing and furniture away. Warn children of the burn hazard.

12)Do not connect your unit to any air distribution duct.
13)Your woodstove must burn dry, seasoned- standard firewood only. The use of cut lumber, plywood, “mill ends”, coal, charcoal etc. is prohibited as this fuel can easily overheat your woodstove.

FAN MAINTENANCE
TO REMOVE THE FAN:
Reverse Steps 5-2 in fan installation section.
Maintenance: The sealed bearings are lubricat- ed, there is no need to lubricate them further. (Ex- tra lubricant will cause more lint and dust buildup
-causing the bearings to prematurely fail). Regular cleaning and vacuuming of the fan area will add to the life of the motor.
IMPORTANT:
These fans collect a lot of dust from within your home. Ensure you maintain these fan motors on a regular basis by vacuuming
the fan blades and housing using a soft brush nozzle.
