F3500 Regency Freestanding Woodstove
installation
RESIDENTIAL
INSTALLATION
1)
Please read this entire manual before you install
and use your new woodstove. Failure to follow
instructions may result in property damage,
bodily injury or even death. Be aware that local
Codes and Regulations may override some
items in this manual. Check with your local
inspector.
2)
Select a position for your Regency Stove. Consult
the minimum clearance chart for your model
and set the stove in place.
For installation use
listed double wall connector systems only.
3)
To insure vertical alignment, suspend a plumb
bob from the ceiling over the exact center of
your stove flue and mark a spot on the ceiling
to indicate the center of the chimney.
4)
Check that the area above the ceiling is clear
for cutting. Re-confirm the clearance from the
stove to combustibles to insure that they are
within the prescribed limits.
5)
This woodstove must be connected to a UL
103 HT (ULC S629) listed chimney or a code
approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.
Space heater is to be connected to a factory
built chimney conforming to CAN/ULC-5629
standard for 650C factory built chimneys. The
chimney requirement is 6", refer to appropri-
ate sections in this manual for specifics.
6)
Install chimney according to chimney manu-
facturers instructions. The performance of your
woodstove is governed to a very large part by
the chimney system. Too short a chimney can
cause difficult start-up, dirty glass, back smok-
ing when door is open, and even reduced heat
output.
Too tall a chimney may prompt excessive
draft which can result in very short burn
times and excessive heat output. The use
of an inexpensive flue pipe damper may be
helpful in reducing excessive draft.
CAUTION
: The chimney should be the same
size as the 6" flue outlet on the stove. The
chimney must be listed as suitable for use with
solid fuels. For other types of chimneys check
with your local building code officials. Do not
confuse a chimney with a type “B” Venting
System used for gas appliances as suitable for
a wood burning appliance. For Mobile Home
installations refer to that section within this
manual.
7)
Mark the location of the pedestal base or legs
on the floor, then move the stove aside and
mark the position of the floor protector.
8)
The floor protector must be of non-combustible
material and must extend 16" (406mm) in front
of the door opening and 8" (203mm) to the
sides and rear of the unit. Some areas may
require a larger size floor protector. See your
local inspector. For outside air installation refer
to Mobile Home installation instructions within
this manual.
9)
When the floor protection is complete, position
the stove with the flue collar centered under the
installed chimney.
10)
In areas with frequent seismic activity, Regency
recommends that your unit is secured to the
floor by using the bolt down holes inside the
pedestal (the same ones used in Mobile Home
installations).
11)
For residential installations 6" (single wall OK)
double wall chimney, the chimney connector
must be at least 24 gauge steel. Do not use
galvanized pipe. For Mobile Home installation
refer to the Mobile Home installation instructions
within this manual.
12)
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIM-
NEY SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
13)
A chimney connector cannot pass through an
attic or roof space, closet or similar concealed
space, or a floor, ceiling, wall or partition of
combustible construction. In Canada, if pas-
sage through a wall, or partition of combustible
construction is desired, the installation shall
conform to CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code
for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equip-
ment.
14)
Your Regency Woodstove is not to be connected
to any air distribution duct.
Emissions from burning wood or gas
could contain chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
CAUTION:
Do not alter or makeshift chimney or install.
Install as per Manual.
NOTE: In Canada, floor protection must
extend 18" (450mm) to the front and
8" (203mm) to each side and back
of the stove.
MODULAR INSTALLATION OPTIONS
WARNING: ONLY USE SPECIFIED COMPONENTS.
The following items are required when assembling your Regency Stove. F3500 unit - the Rear Heat Deflector is supplied with the stove, but if you choose
not to use it you must use the Airmate instead.
Modular Part
See the Minimum Clearance to Combustible Materials chart in the Installation section of this manual
F3500
Airmate OR
Rear Heat Deflector
Convection heat with Airmate vs. Radiant Heat with Rear Heat Deflector. The Airmate pushes heat forward out into
the room, the Rear Heat Deflector deflects the heat upward. Refer to the Installation sections within this manual.
OPTIONS: These can be installed at time of installation or added later:
Blower/Fan
Adding the blower will increase the area heated by the stove, it can move warm air beyond the room where the stove
Ash Drawer Kit
Adding the Ash Drawer Kit makes cleaning ashes out of the stove easier and cleaner (refer to Bottom Shield Ash
Drawer Kit, Installation section).
Airmate
The Airmate pushes heat forward out into the room.
Outside Air Kit
Draw combustion air from the outside of dwelling.
ROOM AIR - IMPORTANT
For installation using room air for combustion,
remove knockout from the pedestal.
Mobile home installations require the use of
outside air.
Fresh air is important - if heater is starved for air
caused by exhaust fans or icing, the unit will not
operate properly.
On pedestal units there are two locations where
outside air may be adapted to the unit. If using
the bottom of the pedestal, do not remove knock-
out from the rear of the pedestal. Only remove
rear knockout if outside air will be brought in from
the rear.
Note: Once the knockout is removed there are
two tabs remaining. Bend both tabs out
for ease of installation of outside air kit.
