SAFETY GUIDELINES AND
WARNINGS
1)
Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuels,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or similar liquids
to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in your heater. Keep
all such liquids well away from the heater while
it is in use.
2)
Keep the door closed during operation and
maintain all seals in good condition.
3)
Do not burn any quantities of paper, garbage, and
never burn flammable fluids such as gasoline,
naptha or engine oil in your stove.
4)
If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
5) Do not overfire heater.
Attempts to achieve
heat output rates that exceed heater design
specifications can result in permanent damage
to the heater. If the chimney connector, flue
baffle or the stove top begin to glow, you are
overfiring. Stop adding fuel and close the draft
control. Overfiring can cause extensive damage
to your stove 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. Failure to do so can result in
a serious chimney fire.
7)
Your Regency stove can be very hot. You may be
seriously burned if you touch the stove while it is
operating, keep children, clothing and furniture
away. Warn children of the burn hazard.
8)
The stove consumes air while operating, provide
adequate ventilation with an air duct or open a
window while the stove is in use.
9)
Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serv
ing another appliance.
10)
Do not use grates or andirons or other methods
for supporting fuel. Burn directly on the bricks.
11)
Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15 seconds
prior to slowly opening the door when refuelling
the fire.
12)
Do not connect your unit to any air distribution
duct.
13)
Your woodstove must burn dry, seasoned-
standard firewood only. The use of cut lumber,
plywood, “mill ends”, coal, charcoal etc. is
prohibited as this fuel can easily overheat your
woodstove. Evidence of excessive overheating
will void your warranty. As well, a large portion of
sawmill waste is chemically treated lumber, which
is illegal to burn in many areas. Salt drift wood,
chemically treated fire logs and wet/green wood
also must not be burned in your woodstoves.
14)
Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet from
your unit. Do not place wood, paper, furniture,
drapes or other combustibles near the appli-
ance.
15) WARNING: Do not operate without either
the Ash Plug properly seated or the Ash
Dump Plates screwed in place, excessive
temperatures will result.
16)
Do not operate unit with broken glass.
TO REMOVE THE FAN:
Reverse Steps 5-2 in fan installation section.
Maintenance:
The sealed bearings are lubricat-
ed, there is no need to lubricate them further. (Ex-
tra lubricant will cause more lint and dust buildup
- causing the bearings to prematurely fail).
Regular cleaning and vacuuming of the fan area
will add to the life of the motor.
IMPORTANT:
These fans collect a lot of dust from within your
home. Ensure you maintain these fan motors
on a regular basis by vacuuming
the fan blades and housing using a soft brush
nozzle.
