MAINTENANCE
It is very important to carefully maintain your fire- place stove, 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 stove require no lubrication.
CREOSOTE
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which when combined with moisture, form creosote. 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 result in an extremely hot fire.
WARNING: Things to remember in case of a chimney fire:
1.Close all draft and damper controls.
2.CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
DOOR CATCH
ADJUSTMENT
The door catch may require adjustment as the door gasket material compresses after a few fires. Re- moval of the spacer washer, shown in the diagram below, will allow the catch to be moved closer to the door frame, causing a tighter seal. Remove and replace the nuts, washer and spacer as shown.
MAINTENANCE
GLASS REPLACEMENT
Allow the stove to cool before removing or replacing glass. Remove the door from the stove and remove the glass retainer. Use caution when removing broken glass to avoid injury. When placing the replacement glass in the door, make sure that the glass gasketing will properly seal your unit. Replace the retainer, it should rest on the gasket not the glass, and tighten securely with a glass clips and screws. Do not wrench down on the glass as this may cause breakage.
Do not use substitute materials. If your glass does break, do not continue to use your unit until it has been replaced.
Ways to Prevent and Keep Unit Free of
Creosote
1)Burn stove with the draft control wide open for about
2)Burn stove with draft control wide open for about 10 - 15 minutes every time you apply fresh wood. This allows the wood to achieve the charcoal stage faster and burns up any unburned gas vapours 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 smoul- dering one that can deposit creosote within the system.
5)Check the chimney at least twice a month dur- ing the burning season for creosote
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 a significant layer of creosote has accumulated (3 mm/1/8" or more) it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

DOOR GASKET
If the door gasket requires replacement 7/8" diameter material must be used. Regency uses AMATEX # 10- 863KR 7/8" dia. gasket. A proper high temperature gasket adhesive is required. See your Regency Dealer.
