IMPORTANT: Please read and follow these rules for safety.

1)Before starting your fireplace installation, read these installation instructions carefully to be sure you understand them in their entirety. Failure to follow them could cause a fi replace malfunction resulting in serious injury and/or property damage.

2)Always check with your local building department, fire department and local authorities prior to installation to determine the need to obtain a permit.

3)This model fi replace must be installed with one of the chimney systems listed in the Chimney Section in this manual. These systems are intended for use as a residential type appliance. The chimney must always vent to the outside of the building.

4)WARNING: THIS FIREPLACE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET. TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET INTO THE FIREPLACE.

5)To ensure a safe fi replace system and to prevent the build-up of soot and creosote, inspect and clean the fi replace and chimney prior to use and periodically during the heating season.

6)Use solid fuel only. DO NOTuse artificial logs containing petroleum products, chemical chimney cleaners, gas logs, gas lighters, salt contaminated wood or fl ame colorants in your fireplace. When using compressed sawdust logs use only at 1/3 capacity since these get very hot and expand.

7)DO NOT use charcoal or coal under any circumstances.

8)NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fl uid, or any liquid to start or “freshen up” a fire in this fi replace. Keep any fl ammable liquid a safe distance from the fi replace.

9)Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fi tting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible fl oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending fi nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

10)WARNING: Only operate fireplace with doorsfullyopenwhenoptionalfirescreen is used.

11)NEVER leave children unattended when there is a fi re burning in the fi replace.

12)Allow the fi replace to cool before servicing. Always shut-off any electricity to the fireplace while working on it. This will prevent any possible electrical shock.

13)Regency is not responsible for any smoking or related problems that may result from the lack of adequate combustion air. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that adequate combustion air has been provided for the fireplace.

15)IMPORTANT: Check with your local building department as to the requirements of sealing any penetrations to the exterior. This will ensure that the integrity of the building is intact.

16)DO NOT use a fi replace insert or any other product not specifi ed by Regency for use with this fi replace.

17)NEVER, under any circumstances, install a fi replace, chimney component or any accessories, supplied by Regency, that have visible or suspected physical damage as a result of handling or transportation.
