INSTALLATION

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 instal- lation and operating procedures. The more you understand the way your Regency Insert operates, the more enjoyment you will experi- ence from knowing that your unit is operating at peak performance.

BEFORE INSTALLING

YOUR INSERT

1)Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new wood insert. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or even death. Install and use only in accordancewith manufactur- er’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 override 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 fi replace insert or hearth heater.

4)Your fi replace 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 fi replace damper control will become inaccessible once you have installed your Regency Insert, you should either remove or secure it in the open posi- tion.

6)Inspect your fi replace 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 fi replace.

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 Cali- fornia to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

replace built per ULC S628.

2)The factory-built fi replace must be listed per UL 127 or ULC S610.

3)Clearances obtained from the masonry fi re- place tests are also relevant for installation in factory-built fi replaces.

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 attached to the insert fl ue collar and the chimney top.

Note: using a louvered faceplate (surround) complies with this requirement.

7)Alterationofthefireplaceinanymannerisnot permitted with the following exceptions;
