organic materials (i.e. plastics, wood paper products,
etc.) are combustible and must not be used. The fl oor
protection specifi ed includes some form of thermal
designation similar to R-value (thermal resistance)
or k-factor (thermal conductivity).
Floor protector listed to UL1618.
Clearance diagram for Installations
Minimum Hearth Extension for the front
(E) and sides (F) are measured from the
fuel door opening.
HOW TO DETERMINE IF ALTERNATE FLOOR PROTECTION MATERIALS ARE ACCEPTABLE
The specifi ed fl oor protector should be 3/8"
(18mm) thick material with a K - factor of 0.84.
The proposed alternative is 4" (100mm) brick
with a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8" (3mm) mineral
board with a K-factor of 0.29.
Step (a):
Use formula above to convert specifi cation
to R-value.
R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893.
Step (b):
Calculate R of proposed system.
4" brick of C = 1.25, therefore
Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80
1/8" mineral board of k = 0.29, therefore
Rmin.bd. = 1/0.29 x 0.125 = 0.431
Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral board =
0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231.
Step (c):
Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to
specifi ed R of 0.893. Since proposed system
R is greater than required, the system is
acceptable.

INSTALLING YOUR INSERT
Your insert is very heavy and will require two or three people to move it into position. The insert can be made lighter by removing the cast iron
door by opening it and lifting it off its hinges. Be sure to protect your hearth extension with a heavy blanket or carpet scrap during the installation.
Evaluate your minimum cavity opening. If the cavity height lends itself to conduct the install without removing the fl ue collar, then just slide the unit into place
and position the liner within the fl ue collar and secure.
If the cavity dictates the fl ue collar needs to be removed or the optional offset fl ue adaptor is required, please follow the steps below.
1. Remove door, manual package, and bricks - see instructions in manual.
2. Remove Bypass Rod - turn counter clockwise.

INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY FIREPLACE
The insert must be installed as per the requirements of your local inspection
authority. A full fl ue liner is required in Canada and the US with this ap-
pliance as it has a catalytic combustor.
1) Positive Flue
Connection
with Cleanout
The installation of a full liner not only increases the safety of your insert by
directing the hot gases up the fl ue, but will also help increase the unit's effi ciency and decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE
1. When installed in a factory built fi replace, a full stainless steel rigid or
fl exible fl ue liner is mandatory, for both safety and performance purposes.
When a fl ue or liner is in use, the insert is able to breathe better by allowing
a greater draft to be created. The greater draft can decrease problems
such as, diffi cult start-ups, smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
2. In order to position the fl ue liner, the existing rain cap must be removed
from your chimney system. In most cases the fl ue damper should also
be removed to allow passage of the liner.
3. In most cases opening the existing spark screens fully should give enough
room for the insert installation. If it does not, remove and store.
4. If the fl oor of your fi replace is below the level of the fi replace opening,
adjust the insert's levelling bolts to accommodate the difference. When
additional shimming is required, use non-combustible masonry or steel
shims.
5. Measure approximately the alignment of the fl ue liner with the position of
the smoke outlet hole on the insert to check for possible offset. If an offset
is required, use a proper stainless steel unit available with the chimney
liner.
6. Once the above items have been checked, slide your insert into position
after fi rst positioning the fl ue liner and offset if required. (Re-install raincap
at completion of installation).
NOTE: Refer to "Requirements for Installing Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-
built Fireplaces" section for the requirements for installing solid
fuel inserts in factory built fi replaces.
When a connected fl ue or liner is in use, the inser t is able to “breathe” better by
allowing a greater draft to be created. The greater draft can decrease problems
such as, diffi cult start-ups, smoking out the door, blocked catalyst,unburned
wood, and dirty glass.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
With your unit now correctly installed and safety
inspected by your local authority, you are now ready
to start a fi re. Before establishing your fi rst fi re, it
is important that you fully understand the operation of your Catalytic combustor and draft control.
WARNING
Fireplace Inserts equipped with doors
should be operated only with doors
fully closed. If doors are left partly open,
gas and fl ame may be drawn out of the
fi replace stove opening, creating risks
from both fi re and smoke.
DRAFT CONTROL
Both the primary and air wash drafts are controlled
by the control slide located on the front left side
of the unit (when facing the unit). To increase your
draft - slide to the left to open, and to decrease slide to the right closed. The CI2600/HI400 unit has
a secondary draft system that continually allows
combustion air to the induction ports at the top of
the fi rebox, just in front of the catalytic combustor.
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft
in your chimney depends on the length of the
chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and
other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive
temperatures in the appliance and may damage the
catalytic combustor. Inadequate draft may cause
back puffi ng into the room and plugging of the
chimney or catalyst.

FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and inspected
you are ready for your fi rst fi re.
THIS UNIT IS DESIGNED TO BURN SEASONED
CORDWOOD ONLY. COAL AND BRIQUETTES
ARE NOT APPROVED.
1. Open the catalytic by-pass control fully.
(Handle pulled out) and open primary air
damper to the full open position
2. The unit is equipped with log andirons to aid
in keeping fuel from sliding, rolling towards the
glass. Please ensure all fuel is loaded behind
the andirons.
Open fi rebox door and build a small fi re using
paper and dry kindling on the fi rebrick hearth,
DO NOT USE A GRATE Secure door on the
fi rebox and wait a few minutes for a good updraft in the fl ue to establish the fi re. (Leaving
the door slightly open will help your fi re start
more rapidly.)
CAUTION: Never leave unit unattended
if door is left open. This procedure
is for fi re start-up only, as unit may
overheat if door is left open for too
long.
3. With the catalytic by-pass damper still in the
fully open position, add two or three seasoned
logs to your fi re. Form a trench in the ash bed
to allow air to reach the rear of the fi rebox prior
to closing the door.
4. The temperature in the stove and the gases
entering the combustor must reach between
5000F - 7000F for catalytic activity to start. From
the start up of a cold stove, a medium to high
fi ring rate must be maintained for 30 min. This
ensures that the stove, catalyst and fuel are all
stabilized at proper operating temperatures.
Even though it is possible to have temperatures at 6000F within minutes after a fi re has
been started, if the fi re is allowed to die down
immediately it may go out or the combustor
may stop working. Once the combustor starts
working, heat generated in it by burning the
smoke will keep it working. During re-fueling
and rekindling of the cool fi re, or a fi re that has
burned down to the charcoal phase, operate
the stove at a medium to high fi ring rate for
about 10 minutes to ensure that the catalyst
reaches operating temperatures
WARNING: Never build a roaring fi re
in a cold stove. Always warm your
stove up slowly!
5. When re-fueling, always open by-pass control,
load fuel, then wait for at least 10-15 minutes
before closing the by-pass. Reason for the
10-15 min. is the fresh fuel and the opening
of the door will cause the catalyst to drop in
temperature as well as the moisture within the
wood which is the fi rst thing to be released.
6. During the fi rst few fi res, keep the combustion
rate at a moderate level and avoid a large fi re.
Only after 5 or 6 such fi res can you operate the
stove at its maximum setting, and only after the
metal has been warmed.
7. For the fi rst few days, the stove will give off an
odour from the paint. This is to be expected as
the high temperature paint becomes seasoned.
Windows and/or doors should be left open to
provide adequate ventilation while this temporary condition exists. Burning the stove at a
very high temperature the fi rst few times may
damage the paint. Burn fi res at a moderate level
the fi rst few days.
8. Do not place anything on the stove top during
the curing process. This may result in damage
to your paint fi nish.
9. During the fi rst few days it may be more diffi cult
to start the fi re. As you dry out your fi rebrick and
your masonry fl ue, your draft will increase.
10. For those units installed at higher elevations or
into sub-standard masonry fi replaces, drafting
problems may occur. Consult an experienced
dealer or mason on methods of increasing your
draft.
11. Some cracking and popping noises may be
experienced during the heating up process.
These noises will be minimal when your unit
reaches temperature.
12. Before opening your door to reload, open the
by-pass damper fully for approximately 10 to 15
seconds until the fi re has been re-established.
This will minimize any smoking (spilling) back
into the room. After loading wood and front door
closed, close the by-pass damper
13. All fuel burning appliances consume oxygen
during operation. It is important that you
supply a source of fresh air to your unit while
burning. A slightly opened window is suffi cient
for the purpose. If you also have a fi replace
in your home, a downdraft may be created by
your Regency Stove causing a draft down your
chimney. If this occurs, slightly open a window
near your unit.
CAUT ION: If the body of your unit, or any part
of the chimney connector starts to glow, you
are over fi ring. Stop loading fuel immediately
and close the draft control until the glow has
completely subsided.
14. Green or wet wood is not recommended for
your unit. If you must add wet or green fuel,
open the draft control fully until all moisture has
been dispersed by the intense fi re. Once all
moisture has been removed, the draft control
may be adjusted to maintain the fi re.
15. If you have been burning your stove on a low
draft, use caution when opening the door. After
opening the damper, open the door a crack, and
allow the fi re to adjust before fully opening the
door.
16. The controls of your unit or the air supply pas-
sages should not be altered to increase fi ring
for any reason.

operating instructions
17. If you burn the unit too slowly or at too low a set-
ting your unit will not be operating as effi ciently
as it can. An easy rule of thumb says that if
your glass is clean, catalytic thermostat is active, then your fl ue is clean and your exhaust is
clean. Burn the stove hot enough to keep your
glass clean and catalytic combustor ,you won't
need to clean your fl ue as often.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP
CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND
FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
ASH DISPOSAL
During constant use, ashes should be removed
every few days. Please take care to prevent the
build-up of ash around the start-up air housing
located inside the fi rebox, under the loading door lip.
DO NOT ALLOW ASHES TO BUILD UP TO THE
LOADING DOORS.
Only remove ashes when the fi re has died down.
Even then, expect to fi nd a few hot embers. Always
leave 1 to 2 inches of ash in the bottom of the fi rebox.
This helps in easier starting and a more uniform
burn of your fi re.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with
a tight fi tting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible fl oor or on
the ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending fi nal 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. Other waste should
not be placed in the ash container.
FAN OPERATION
The fan unit must not be turned on until a fi re has
been burning for at least 30 minutes and the unit
is hot enough. As well, after each fuel loading the
fan must be shut off until 30 minutes has elapsed.
To operate fan automatically, push switch on side of
fan housing to "Auto" and second switch to either
"High" or "Low" for fan speed. The automatic temperature sensor will engage the blower when the
unit is at temperature and will shut off the blower
once the fi re has gone out and the unit has cooled
to below a useful heat output range.
To manually operate the fan system, push the fi rst
switch to "Man" and second switch to either "high"
or "Low". This will bypass the sensing device and
allow full control of the fan. Switching from "Auto" to
"Manual" or "High" to "Low" may be done at any time.
To achieve maximum effi ciency and performance,
operate the fan in the low speed when the air control
is not more than ¼’’ open from its lowest setting. See
draft control instructions for operation of air control.
When the appliance is cool it is important to clean
in and around the fan. Always ensure areas on the
hearth are clean and ashes, debris etc. are not
pushed towards the bottom of the fascia. Always
brush and clean debris away from the unit, not
towards.
CREOSOTE
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and
other organic vapors, which form creosote when
combined with moisture. The creosote vapors
condense in the relatively cool chimney fl ue of a
slow-burning fi re. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the fl ue lining. When ignited,
this creosote can make an extremely hot fi re.
For wood-burning heaters, reference to the formation and removal of creosote buildup in the
chimney connector and chimney as follows (the
inspection frequency "once every two months'
stated below may be a shorter time period at
the manufacturer's or private labeler's options):
"Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal
The chimney connector and chimney should be
inspected at least once every two months during the
heating season to determine if a creosote buildup
has occurred.
If creosote has accumulated it should be removed
to reduce the risk of chimney fi re.
REMOVAL FOR CLEANING
Removal of your insert for cleaning purposes is
usually not required if a proper installation has been
done. In the event that removal is required, be sure
not to damage any parts needed for re-installation.
In most cases removal and replacement of the
baffl e system should allow full access for cleaning.
WARNING: In case of chimney fi re:
1. Close draft control
2. Call the Fire Department
WAYS TO PREVENT AND KEEP
UNIT FREE OF CREOSOTE
1. Burn insert with draft control wide open for
about 45 minutes every morning during burning
season. This helps to prevent creosote deposits
within the heating system.
2. Burn inser t with draft control wide open for about
10 - 15 minutes every time you add fresh wood.
This allows the wood to achieve the charcoal
stage faster and burns up any wood vapors
which might otherwise be deposited within the
system.
3. Only burn seasoned wood! Do not burn wet
or green wood. Seasoned wood that has been
dried at least one year must be used.
4. A small hot fi re is preferable to a large smoul-
dering one that can deposit creosote within the
system.
5. Check the chimney at least twice a month during
the burning season for creosote build-up.
6. Have chimney system and unit cleaned by
competent chimney sweeps twice a year
during the fi rst year of use and at least once
a year thereafter or when a signifi cant layer
of creosote has accumulated (3mm / 1/8" or
more) it should be removed to reduce the
risk of a chimney fi re.
WOOD STORAGE
Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or covered with a tarp, plastic, tar paper, sheets of scrap
plywood etc., as uncovered wood can absorb water
from rain or snow, delaying the seasoning process.

SAFETY GUIDELINES & WARNINGS
9. Do not connect this unit to a chimney fl ue serving another appliance.
10. Do not use grates, 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 fi re.
12. Do not connect your unit to any air distribution duct.
13. This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher effi ciencies and
lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
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 appliance.
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 and may poison or render ineffective the catalytic
combustor. Burning coal, cardboard, or loose paper can produce soot, or
large fl akes of char or fl y ash that can coat the combustor, causing smoke
spillage into the room, and rendering the combustor ineffective.
15. Do not operate with broken glazing.
16. The controls of your unit or the air supply passages should not be altered
to increase fi ring for any reason.
17. If you burn the unit too slowly or at too low a setting your unit will not be
operating as effi ciently as it can. An easy rule of thumb says that if your
glass is clean, catalytic thermostat is active, then your fl ue is clean and
your exhaust is clean. Burn the stove hot enough to keep your glass clean

CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR (PART # 106-534)
operating instructions
ACHIEVING AND MAINTAINING CATALYST LIGHT-OFF:
The temperature in the stove and the gases entering the combustor must be
raised to between 500F to 700F for catalytic activity to be initiated. During the
start up of a cold stove a medium to high fi ring rate must be maintained for
about 30 minutes. This ensures that the stove, catalyst and fuel are all stabilized at proper operating temperatures. Even though it is possible to have
temperatures at 600F within minutes after a fi re has been started, if the fi re
is allowed to die down immediately it may go out or the combustor may stop
working. Once the combustor starts working, heat generated in it by burning
the smoke will keep it working. During re-fueling and rekindling of the cool
fi re, or a fi re that has burned down to the charcoal phase, operate the stove
at a medium to high fi ring rate for about 10 minutes to ensure that he catalyst
reaches operating temperatures.
There are some obvious signs of trouble that your inspection may reveal.
The temperature in the stove and the gases entering the combustor must be
raised to between 500F to 700F for catalytic activity to be initiated. During the

fi re, or a fi re that has burned down to the charcoal phase, operate the stove
at a medium to high fi ring rate for about 10 minutes to ensure that he catalyst
reaches operating temperatures.
CATALYST MONITORING: It is important to periodically monitor the operation of the catalytic combustor to ensure that it is functioning properly and to
determine when it needs to be replaced. A non-functioning combustor will
result in a loss of heating effi ciency, and an increase in creosote and emissions. Following is a list of items that should be checked on a periodic basis.
• Combustors should be visually inspected at least three times during the
heating season to determine if physical degradation has occurred. Actual
removal of the combustor is not recommended unless more detailed inspection is warranted because of decreased performance. If any of these
conditions exist, refer to Catalyst trouble shooting section of this owner’s
manual.
• A good combustor is designed to withstand approximately 12,000 hours of
continuous use. This will translate into fi ve to ten years of use, depending
on the length of your heating season and how often you use your stove.
Proper maintenance will increase the combustor’s effectiveness and prevent many problems. Inspect your combustor before each heating season,
and during the season if your stove’s performance seems to change.
Step 1: Light the stove in accordance with instructions within this
manual.
Step 2: With smoke routed through the catalyst (by-pass closed)
go outside and observe the emissions leaving the chimney.
Step 3: Engage the bypass mechanism and move to by-pass
open position. And again observe the emission leaving
the chimney. Signifi cantly more smoke should be seen
when the smoke is not routed through the combustor (bypass open). Be careful not to confuse smoke with steam.
ACHIEVING PROPER DRAFT: Draft is the force which moves air from the
appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions
and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the
appliance and may damage the catalytic combustor. Inadequate draft may
cause back puffi ng into the room and plugging of the chimney or catalyst.
CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR CLEANING:
Method #1
A vacuum cleaner may be used, but never use high pressured air to
blow the cells free of any build-up. This can damage the cell walls. Any cell
blockage can be removed with the use of a pipe cleaner or a cotton swab
as well.
Method #2
Should the combustor’s cells become covered with fl y-ash, use a paintbrush or soft-bristled brush and dust the combustor gently.
Never use anything abrasive to clean the combustor.
Method #3
Normally the catalytic combustor requires little or no maintenance, it generates such high temperatures and therefore is basically self-cleaning.
However, should the combustor become covered with soot or creosote, it
is possible to burn the accumulation off by opening the bypass and building a hot fi re.
Once the hot fi re is created, close the bypass halfway and burn for 30 to 60
minutes with the bypass left in this position. Never use cleaning solvents
to clean it.
Check and clean the combustor, if necessary, before each burning season
and inspect the fl ue system for any signs of creosote buildup.
A clean fl ue helps prevent chimney fl ue fi res.
• You can get an indication of whether the catalyst is working by compar-
ing the amount of smoke leaving the chimney when the smoke is going
through the combustor and catalyst light – off has been achieved, to the
amount of smoke leaving the chimney when the smoke is not routed (bypass open) through the combustor.
