MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Never leave unit unat- tended if door is left open. This procedure is for fire start-up only, as unit may overheat if door is left open for too long. The door is to be opened for a maximum of 5 min- utes while loading or for ignition purposes only.

3) With the draft still in the fully open position

add two or three seasoned logs to your fire.

Form a trench in the ash bed to allow air to

reach the rear of the firebox prior to closing

12)Green or wet wood is not recommended for your unit since most of the energy will be used to drive off the moisture instead of heating your home. As well, green or wet wood can result in dirty glass.

13)Always maintain clean glass. Clean glass means a clean flue; if you are experiencing dirty glass you may be operating a fire that is set too low. Ask your dealer for details.

14)Keep your spark arrester on the flue clean. It should be checked and maintained regu- larly, at least monthly.

burn in many areas. Salt drift wood, chemically treated fire logs and pressure treated woods must not be burned in your woodstoves.

12)Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet from your unit.

13)IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the convec- tion louvers at any time. Blocking air into this area will cause excessively high firebox temperatures and a potentially dangerous situation.

	the door.
4)	During the first few days it may be
	more difficult to start the fire. As you
	dry out your firebrick, your draft will
	increase. Due to the large quantity of
	firebrick, which has a high water content,
	it may take many fires (20 or more) to
	thoroughly cure the firebrick. The firebrick
	will become lighter in colour as it dries out.
5)	After about 15 to 20 minutes, when your
	wood has begun to burn strongly, adjust
	your draft control down to keep the fire at
	a moderate level.
	WARNING: Never build a roaring fire in
	a cold stove. Always warm your stove
	up slowly!
6) Once a bed of coals has been established,
	you may adjust the draft control to a low
	setting to operate the unit at its most effi-
	cient mode.
7)	For the first few days, the stove will give
	off an odour from the paint and oil burn off.
	This is to be expected as the high temper-
	ature paint becomes seasoned. Windows
	and/or doors should be left open to provide
	adequate ventilation while this temporary
	condition exists. Burning the stove at a
	very high temperature the first few times
	may damage the paint. Burn fires at a
	moderate level the first few days.
8)	For those units installed at higher eleva-
	tions drafting problems may occur. Consult
	an experienced dealer on methods of in-
	creasing your draft. Follow the Flue Height
	Chart (Table 1 page 12).
9) Some cracking and popping noises may be
	experienced during the heating up proc-
	ess. These noises will be minimal when
	your unit reaches temperature.
10) Before opening your door to reload, open
	draft fully for approximately 10 to 15 sec-
	onds until fire has been re-established.
	This will minimize any smoking.
11) All fuel burning appliances consume oxy-
	gen during operation. It is important that you
	supply a source of fresh air to your unit
	while burning.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

1)Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuels, kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel or similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in your fireplace. Keep all such liquids well away from the unit while in use.

2)Keep the door closed during operation and maintain all seals in good condition.

3)Do not burn large quantities of paper in your fireplace.

4)If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke spillage as this may set off a false alarm.

5)Do not overfire fireplace. If overfiring takes place, stop adding fuel and close the draft control. Overfiring can cause extensive damage to your unit including warpage and premature steel corrosion. Overfiring will void your warranty.

6)Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in the chimney system. Check and clean chimney at regular intervals.

7)The fireplace face can be very hot. You may be seriously burned if you touch the unit while in operation. Warn children of the burn hazard.

8)Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving another appliance.

9)Do not use grates or andirons or other methods for supporting fuel. Burn directly on the bricks.

10)When refuelling the fire turn off blowers, open draft prior to slowly opening the door. Failure to do so could result in smoke spillage.

11)Your unit should burn dry, standard fire- wood only. The use of “mill ends” is discouraged as this fuel can easily over- heat your fireplace. Evidence of exces- sive overheating will void your warranty.

As well, a large portion of sawmill waste is chemically treated lumber, which is illegal to

MAINTENANCE

Gold Plated Doors and Louvers

The optional gold electroplated finish on the doors and louvers requires little maintenance and needs only to be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as they may harm the finish and void the warranty. Keep doors and louvers off during construction to avoid damage.

Door Gasket

If the door gasket requires replacement, your must use 7/8 in. dia. oval, high density material, 6-1/2 ft. long. A proper high temperature gas- ket adhesive is required. Contact your dealer for the Regency Gasket Repair Kit, Part # 846- 570.

Door Hinges

Grease door hinges with high temperature grease regularly for smooth operation and to avoid squeaks.

Glass Cleaning

Only clean your glass window when it is cool. Your local retailer can supply you with a recommended glass cleaner if plain water and a soft cloth does not remove all deposits. Do not use oven cleaner on the glass as it will etch the glass.

Glass Removal/Replacement

Allow the stove to cool before removing or replacing glass. Remove the door from the insert 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 and tighten securely, but do not wrench down on the glass as this may cause breakage. Do not substitute materials. If your glass door breaks, do not use your unit until it has been replaced. See Diagram on page 19.
