operating instructions
FAN OPERATION
Automatic
To operate the fan - turn on the rheostat.
This will allow the fan to turn on as the stove has
come up to operating temperature. It will also shut
the fan system off after the fire has gone out and
the unit cooled to below a useful heat output range.
Operate the fan in the low speed position when
burning in the LOW-MED LOW heat output ranges
and operate in the high setting for MED-HIGH to
HIGH heat outputs.
Route power cord to either left or right behind unit.
Ash Disposal
During constant use, ashes should be removed
every few days.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with
a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on
the ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of
by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Safety Precautions
1.
Do not allow ashes to build up to the loading
doors! Only remove ashes when the fire has
died down. Even then, expect to find a few hot
embers.
2.
Please take care to prevent the build-up of ash
around the start-up air housing located inside
the stove box, under the loading door lip.
3.
Never start a fire if the ash plug and ash drawer
are not in place. This will cause over firing which
can cause excessive warping of the stove.
Evidence of over firing can void the warranty
on your stove.
4.
The firebricks are brittle and can be damaged
if the plug is replaced carelessly or pieces that
are too large are forced through the hole.
Safety Guidelines
and Warnings
CAUTION: do not use chemicals as fluids
to start fire.
1. CAUTION:
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. If the chimney connector,
flue baffle or the stove top begin to glow, you
are over firing. Stop adding fuel and close the
draft control. Over firing can cause extensive
damage to your stove including warping and
premature steel corrosion. Over firing 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 serving
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.
This heater is designed to burn natural wood
only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions
generally result when burning air dried sea-
soned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods
or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
14.
In the event of component failure, replace parts
with only Regency listed parts.
15.
Warning: do not abuse glass door such as
striking or slamming shut.
CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN
OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN,
CLOTHING AND FURNITURE
AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN
BURNS.
Cleaning & Maintaining Your Wood Stove
CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT TO, OR
USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY
AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT WORK
UNLESS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED
FOR SUCH INSTALLATION.
CAUTION: DO NOT BURN GARBAGE
OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS
GASOLINE, NAPTHA OR ENGINE
OIL. SOME FUELS COULD GENER-
ATE CARBON MONOXIDE AND ARE
VERY DANGEROUS.
DO NOT BURN:
•
Treated wood
• Coal
• Garbage
• Cardboard
• Solvents
• Colored Paper
• Trash
• Salt drift wood
• Cut lumber, plywood, mill
ends.
Burning treated wood, garbage, solvents, colored
paper or trash may result in release of toxic
fumes. Burning coal, cardboard, or loose paper
can produce soot, or large flakes of char or fly ash,
causing smoke spillage into the room.
