CREOSOTE

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and 

other organic vapors, which when combined with 

moisture, form creosote. The creosote vapors 

condense  in  the  relatively  cool  chimney  flue  of 

a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue 

accumulates on the flue lining.  When ignited, this 

creosote can result in an extremely hot fire.

WARNING:    Things  to  remember  in  case  of  a 
chimney fire:

1. Close all draft and damper controls.

2. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Ways to Prevent and Keep Unit Free of 

Creosote

1)  Burn  stove  with  the  draft  control  wide  open 

for about 10-15 minutes every morning during 
burning season.

2)  Burn  stove  with  draft  control  wide  open  for 

about 10 - 15 minutes every time you apply 
fresh wood. This allows the wood to achieve 
the  charcoal  stage  faster  and  burns  up  any 
unburned gas vapours which might otherwise 
be deposited within the system.

3)  Only burn seasoned wood!  Avoid burning wet 

or green wood. Seasoned wood has been dried 
at least one year.

4)  A small hot fire is preferable to a large smoul-

dering one that can deposit creosote within the 
system.

5)  Check the chimney at least twice a month dur-

ing the burning season for creosote build-up.

6)  Have  chimney  system  and  unit  cleaned  by 

competent chimney sweeps twice a year during 
the first year of use and at least once a year 
thereafter or when a significant layer of creosote 
has accumulated (3 mm/1/8" or more) it should 
be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. 

 

GLASS REPLACEMENT

Allow the stove to cool before removing or replacing 

glass.  Remove the door from the stove 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, it should rest on the gasket not the 

glass, and tighten securely with a glass clips and 

screws.  Do not wrench down on the glass as this 

may cause breakage.

Do not use substitute materials.  If your glass does 

break, do not continue to use your unit until it has 

been replaced.

MAINTENANCE

It is very important to carefully maintain your fire

-

place stove, including burning seasoned wood and 

maintaining a clean stove and chimney system. 

Have the chimney cleaned before the burning 

season and as necessary during the season, as 

creosote deposits may build up rapidly. Moving 

parts of your stove require no lubrication.

DOOR CATCH

 ADJUSTMENT

The door catch may require adjustment as the door 

gasket material compresses after a few fires.  Re

-

moval of the spacer washer, shown in the diagram 

below, will allow the catch to be moved closer to 

the door frame, causing a tighter seal.  Remove 

and replace the nuts, washer and spacer as shown.

DOOR GASKET

If the door gasket requires replacement 7/8" diameter 

material must be used. Regency uses AMATEX # 10-

863KR 7/8" dia. gasket. A proper high temperature 

gasket adhesive is required.  See your Regency 

Dealer.

GLASS MAINTENANCE

Your Regency stove is supplied with 5 mm Neoceram 

ceramic glass that will withstand the highest heat 

that your unit will produce.  In the event that you 

break your glass by impact, purchase your replace-

ment from an authorized Regency dealer only, and 

follow our step-by-step instructions for replacement.

Allow the stove to cool down before cleaning the 

glass, do not clean the glass when it is hot. Do not 

use abrasive cleaners.
