1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Information
Dear customer, thank you for choosing Regal's products which have been
designed and manufactured in accordance with the latest technological
developments and safety rules.
Our products have been particularly designed with usability in mind. We
suggest you take every point of these instructions into consideration in
order to ensure your own safety as well as a secure, cost-effective and
environmentally friendly use of your fireplace.
1.2 Instructions
The instructions included in this manual are applicable to all models,
unless otherwise stated. The installation should be completed by
experienced and trained staff and the person who will carry out the
installation must follow these instructions. Regal is not responsible for any
physical or property damage that might be caused by the incorrect
application of the instructions or incorrect maintenance of the product.
2 A FEW WORDS ABOUT ENERGY FIREPLACES
2.1 Combustible - Manufacturing Materials
Regal energy fireplaces have been designed and manufactured in
accordance with the European Standard EN 13229/A1 13229/A2 about
inset appliances including open fires fired by solid fuels (Greek Standard
ELOT No 1915) and offer maximum performance with minimum fuel
consumption, meeting the heating requirements of houses of any size.
They are intended for domestic use and they operate on firewood.
The firebox is completely made of resistant to high temperatures and airtight steel, which prevents the exhaust gases from escaping and also
offers the appropriate heat exchange from the combustion chamber to the
air chambers, resulting in exhaust gases without swirls. The glass of Regal
fireboxes is ceramic, 4mm thick and highly heat-resistant, up to 750 Cᵒ.
2.2 Firebox Installation Guide - Aero 3 Advantages - User Guide
The combustion chamber is of closed type, ensuring the highest
performance and efficiency of the firebox. The door of the firebox can be
opened vertically to provide access to the combustion chamber as well as
horizontally so that you can easily clean the glass.
Important advantages of Aero 3 fireboxes
Intake of primary fresh air into the combustion chamber through
the adjustable damper. This way you can control the intensity of
the combustion by providing oxygen whenever you wish.
Secondary combustion over the primary one with preheated fresh
air, which enters from the back side of the combustion chamber at
an angle of 65°, initiating an impressive second combustion over
the firewood, reducing the CO content of exhaust gases to the
minimum and achieving maximum performance.
Tertiary air curtain with preheated fresh air which circulates
between the glass and the flame, preventing combustion smoke
from dirtying the glass. When the temperature inside the
combustion chamber exceeds 500 °C, this tertiary combustion is
initiated on the glass of the heat-resistant (up to 750 °C) ceran
door.
Three air chambers with the second one located close to the
combustion chamber, increasing the room's temperature to the
maximum by taking in external humid fresh air. Therefore, the
room's humidity remains at normal levels without the need to
recycle the air.

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 Place of installation
The fireplace must not be turned upside down or turned to a horizontal
position during transportation.
The fireplace's design allows its installation either in parallel or at an angle
to the wall.
The floor on which your firebox will be mounted must be able to support its
weight as well as the liner that will be fitted on your firebox at a later stage.
The walls around the firebox should be made of fireproof inert materials.
3.2 External air ducts
Since the energy fireplace is a combustion facility inside your living space
and needs to receive air from the area of installation, you have to ensure
that a sufficient supply of clean air is available.
The requirements and the special characteristics of your living space have
to be taken into account before the installation.
The external air duct ensures the exchange of air and oxygen. The
diameter of the air duct should be at least 120mm and the distance
between the air duct and the floor about 100mm. The air duct is very
important for the smooth operation of the fireplace, especially in small
rooms or rooms with insulating frames.
Regal fireboxes with the aero3 system should be connected to two fresh
air ducts of Φ120mm diameter if possible or at least with one duct of the
same diameter. One of the ducts will be inserted into the air motor* and
the other one will be free under the area of the firebox. (An air motor of
450-650m3 air flow is recommended.)

3.3 Connection of the motor to the firebox
If you have bought the ventilator kit along with your fireplace, the
ventilator's electrical connection diagram and the fireplace's operation
manual are both included in the packaging.
It is recommended not to install the liner in your fireplace before making
sure that everything works properly. Operate your fireplace for 1 or 2 days
in order to ensure that there are no malfunctions and after that you can
proceed with the liner installation.
The installation must be carried out in accordance with the local
regulations as well as the relevant national and European standards.
Regal is not responsible for any damage caused to materials, humans or
animals due to a poor installation of the firebox. The company's
responsibility is limited to the manufacturing part of the firebox.
Regal reserves the right to change the contents of this manual without any
warning.
4 CHIMNEY
4.1 Specifications
The chimney should meet the following specifications:
The construction and materials of the chimney must be in
accordance with safety rules.
The recommended construction material is stainless sheet metal
and the duct must be insulated so it can maintain the temperature
and offer the right draught for preventing the condensation of
exhaust gases on its inner walls.
The chimney's internal diameter must comply with the construction
specifications.

ENERGY FIREPLACES -SUBJECT TO CHANGE DUE TO IMPROVEMENTS ENERGY FIREPLACES -SUBJECT TO CHANGE DUE TO IMPROVEMENTS
The chimney's height is relative to the diameter of the exhaust gases duct
(see table below).
4.2 Caution notes
You should not pass cables or other flammable materials through the
chimney.
The chimney must be installed by trained staff and its inclination should
not be greater than 45ᵒ. Moreover, the path of the exhaust gases should
be clear of any obstacles.
5 OPERATION
5.1 Combustible materials
Well-dried firewood of low humidity is recommended for the combustion in
the energy fireplace (Note: Humidity content based on the combustion-ISO
331:1983 and ISO 687:1974. Raw wood 12% to 15% based on ΕLΟΤ
ΕΝ13229:2001)
Firewood with high humidity content and liquids can result in deposits in
the chimney interior (fire hazard), return of exhaust gases and reduced
performance of the fireplace. Use of different combustible materials than
that mentioned above may result in damage to the fireplace itself.
Resinous wood (fir, pine, etc.) must be avoided in order to prevent the
contamination of the firebox and the ceramic glass with tar residues.
The warranty shall be invalid in case of firewood burning that does not
comply with the above specifications. The burning of painted wood, plastic
and other materials which release toxic gases and are harmful for humans
and the environment, is prohibited.
5.2 Lighting the first fire
During the first lighting of fire at the firebox, the area of installation must be
properly ventilated. Note that you may notice smoke and intense smell due
to the fact that the protective paint needs to dry.
The handles and the protective glass should be cleaned using a cleaning
cloth. Any dirt that is not removed will be burnt and leave spots which you
won't be able to remove at a later stage.
During the first two days of operation you should make cautious use of the
fireplace using only small loads of firewood, so that the different materials
of your fireplace will take their time to settle and dehumidify without being
subjected to intense thermal shock.
5.3 How to light the firebox
You should not use flammable materials (alcohol, gasoline, petrol etc.) for
lighting the firebox and you should not use water for putting out the flame.
Any damage caused by such actions is not covered by the warranty.
Make sure that the fresh air inlet damper is open. The warm air outlet on
top of the fireplace must also be open. The ventilator's switch must be on.
The size of the firewood is relative to the width and depth of the firebox's
combustion chamber (refer to the relevant table).
Through the practical use and operation of your energy fireplace, you will
be able to determine the configuration that better serves your needs.
