Regency Inserts are constructed with the high- est quality materials and assembled under strict quality control procedures that insure years of trouble free and reliable performance.
It is important that you read this manual thor- oughly and fully understand the safe installa- tion and operating procedures. The more you understand the way your Regency Insert op- erates, the more enjoyment you will experience from knowing that your unit is operating at peak performance.
BEFORE INSTALLING
YOUR INSERT
1)Read all instructions before installing and using your fireplace insert. Install and use only in accordance with manufacturer’s installation and operating instructions.
2)Check your local building codes - Building Inspection Department. You may require a permit before installing your insert. Be aware that local codes and regulations may over- ride some items in the manual.
WARNING: Careless installation is the major cause of safety hazard. Check all local building and safety codes before installation of unit.
3)Notify your home insurance company that you plan to install a fireplace insert or hearth heater.
4)Your fireplace insert is heavy and requires two or more people to move it safely. The insert can be badly damaged by mishan- dling.
5)If your existing fireplace damper control will become inaccessible once you have in- stalled your Regency Insert, you should either remove or secure it in the open position.
6)Inspect your fireplace and chimney prior to installing your insert to determine that it is free from cracks, loose mortar or other signs of damage. If repairs are required, they should be completed before installing your insert. Do not remove bricks or mortar from your masonry fireplace.
7)Do not connect the insert to a chimney system servicing another appliance or an air distribution duct.
Emissions from burning wood or gas could contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
CHIMNEY
SPECIFICATIONS
Before installing, check and clean your chim- ney system thoroughly. If in doubt about its condition, seek professional advice. Your Re- gency Insert is designed for installation into a masonry fireplace that is constructed in ac- cordance with the requirements of "The Stand- ard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliance", N.F.P.A. 211, the National Building Code of Canada, or the appli- cable local code requirements.
The appliance, when installed, must be electri- cally grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical code, CSA C22.1.
Regency Inserts are designed with a 6" flue.
Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built
Fireplaces.
1)The insert must be tested and meet the requirements of UL 1482 (U.S.) and or ULC S628 (Canada) when tested in a masonry fireplace built per ULC S628.
2)The factory-built fireplace must be listed per UL 127 or ULC S610.
3)Clearances obtained from the masonry fire- place tests are also relevant for installation in factory-built fireplaces.
4)Installation must include a full height listed chimney liner type HT requirements (2100 degree F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely at- tached to the insert flue collar and the chimney top.
5)Means must be provided to prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fire- place. This may be accomplished by sealing the damper area around the chimney liner, or sealing the fireplace front.
6)The air flow within and around the fireplace shall not be altered by the installation of the insert (i.e. no louvers or cooling air or outlet ports are blocked), unless specifically test- ed as such for each factory-built fireplace manufacturer and model line. (Note - using
alouvered face plate (surround) complies with this requirement).
7)Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is not permitted with the following excep- tions;
a.external trim pieces which do not affect the operation of the fireplace may be removed providing they can be stored on or within the fireplace for re-assem- bly if the insert is removed.
b.the chimney damper may be removed to install the chimney liner.
8)Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fireplace liner or metal heat circulator) shall not be blocked.
9)Means must be provided for removal of the insert to clean the chimney flue.
10)Inserts that project in front of the fireplace must be supplied with appropriate support- ing means.
11)A permanent metal warning label must be attached to the back of the fireplace stating that the fireplace must be restored to its original condition for safe use with out the insert.
In order for a solid-fuel insert to be certified for use in factory-built fireplaces, the above infor- mation must be clearly stated in the installation manual and appropriate markings. Final ap- proval is contingent on the authority having jurisdiction.

INSTALLING YOUR
INSERT
Your insert is very heavy and will require two or three people to move it into position. The insert can be made a little lighter by removing the cast iron door by opening it and lifting it off its hinges.
