RESIDENTIAL
INSTALLATION
1) Please read this entire manual before you
install and use your new wood fi re. 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) THE APPLIANCE AND FLUE-SYSTEM
SHALL BE INST ALLED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH AS/NZS 2918:2001 AND THE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
RELEVANT BUILDING CODE OR CODES.
APPLIANCES INSTALLED IN ACCORD-
ANCE WITH THIS STANDARD SHALL
COMPL Y WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF
AS/NZS 4013 WHERE REQUIRED BY THE
REGULAT OR Y AUTHORITY.
ANY MODIFICA TION OF THE APPLIANCE
THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN
WRITING BY THE TESTING AUTHORITY
IS CONSIDERED TO BE IN BREACH OF
THE APPROV AL GRANTED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH AS/NZS 4013.
CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR
FLUE-SYSTEM COMPONENTS FROM
DIFFERENT SOURCES OR MODIFYING
THE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICA TION OF
COMPONENTS MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. WHERE SUCH
ACTION IS CONSIDERED, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE CONSULTED
IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.
3) Select a position for your Regency Stove.
Consult the minimum clearance chart for
your model and set the stove in place. For
close clearance installation use listed double
wall connector systems.
4) T o insure vertical alignment, suspend a plumb
bob from the ceiling over the exact center
of your stove fl ue and mark a spot on the
ceiling to indicate the center of the chimney.
5) Check that the area above the ceiling is clear
for cutting. Re-confi rm the clearance from
the stove to combustibles to insure that they
are within the prescribed limits.
6) Mark the location of the pedestal base on the
fl oor, then move the stove aside and mark
the position of the fl oor protector.
7) Install chimney according to chimney manufacturers instructions. The performance of
your wood fi re is governed to a very large
part by the chimney system. Too short a
chimney can cause diffi cult start-up, dirty
glass, backsmoking when door is open, and
even reduced heat output. T oo tall a chimney
may prompt excessive draft which can result
in very short burn times and excessive heat
output.
8) The fl oor protector must be of non-com-
bustible material. Refer to page 7 for fl oor
protector clearances.
9) When the fl oor protection is complete, posi-
tion the stove with the fl ue collar centered
under the installed chimney.
10) In seismically active areas, Regency recommends that your unit is secured to the fl oor
by using the bolt down holes inside the
pedestal.
11) Do not connect this unit to a chimney
serving another appliance.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
AND WARNINGS
1) Never use petrol, petrol type lantern fuels,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or similar
liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fi re 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 fl ammable fl uids such as
petrol, 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 overfi re heater. If the chimney con-
nector, fl ue baffl e or the stove top begin to
glow, you are overfi ring. Stop adding fuel and
close the draft control. Overfi ring can cause
extensive damage to your stove including
warpage and premature steel corrosion.
Overfi ring 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 fi re.
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. For safety reasons a
guard around the fi re is recommended.
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 fl ue
serving another appliance.
10) Do not use grates or andirons or other
methods for supporting fuel. Burn directly
on the base or bricks where supplied.
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) Y our wood fi re should burn dry, standard
fi rewood only. The use of cut timber, ply-
wood, “mill ends”, etc. is not allowed as this
fuel can easily overheat your wood fi re.
Evidence of excessive overheating will void
your warranty. As well, a large portion of
sawmill waste is chemically treated timber,
which is illegal to burn in many areas. Salt
drift wood and chemically treated fi re logs
also must not be burned in your wood fi re.
14) No combustible material should be closer
than the clearances as specifi ed on page
7.
15) DO NOT OPERATE WITH BROKEN
GLASS.
BRICK INSTALLATION
Firebrick comes installed in each stove and is
made to extend the life of your stove and to
radiate heat more evenly.
Important: Remove the packing material from
above and below the top bricks. Check to see
that all fi rebricks are in their correct positions and
have not become misaligned during shipping.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 draft control.
CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
MAINTAINED AND OPERA TED AT ALL TIMES
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: THE USE OF SOME TYPES OF
PRESERVATIVE-TREATED WOOD AS A FUEL
CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
WARNING: ANY MODIFICA TION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED
IN WRITING BY THE TESTING AUTHORITY
IS CONSIDERED AS BREACHING AS/NZS
4013.
WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START OR
REKINDLE THE FIRE.
WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF
THIS APPLIANCE WHEN IT IS OPERATING.
WARNING: DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN
HEATER INSTALLATION CLEARANCES.
WARNING: OPEN AIR CONTROL (AND
DAMPER WHEN FITTED) BEFORE OPENING
FIRING DOOR.
For safety reasons and in order to avoid
over fi ring of your unit do not burn your
fi re with the door open or ajar.
AIR SLIDE CONTROL
Both the primary and air wash drafts are controlled by the control rod located on the right side
of the unit (when facing the unit). To increase
your draft - pull open, and to decrease - push
closed. All units have a secondary draft system
that continually allows combustion air to the
induction ports at the top of the fi rebox, just
below the fl ue baffl e.
Push - Closed
Pull - Open
WARNING: T o build a fi re in ignorance
or to disregard the information contained in this section can cause serious
permanent damage to the unit and void
your warranty!!
FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and inspected you are ready for your fi rst fi re.
1) Open control fully.
2) Open fi rebox door and build a small fi re
using paper and dry kindling on the fi rebox
base. 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 draft 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) After about 45 minutes, when your wood
has begun to burn strongly, adjust your draft
control down to keep the fi re at a moderate
level.
WARNING: Never build a roaring fi re in
a cold stove. Always warm your stove
up slowly!
5) Once a bed of coals has been established
on the base of the fi rebox, you may adjust
the draft control to a low setting to operate
the unit at its most effi cient mode.
6) During the fi rst few fi res, keep the combus-
tion 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.
8
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.
Regency Narrabri™ Freestanding Wood Fire

MAINTENANCE
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
draft fully for approximately 10 to 15 seconds
until fi re has been re-established. This will
minimize any smoking.
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.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit, fl ue baffl e
or any part of the chimney connector starts
to glow, you are overfi 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
passages should not be altered to increase
fi ring for any reason.
CREOSOTE
When wood is burned slowly, it produces
tar and other organic vapours, which when
combined with moisture, form creosote. The
creosote vapours 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 result
in an extremely hot fi re.
WARNING: Things to remember in case
of a chimney fi re:
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! A void burning
wet or green wood. Seasoned wood has
been dried at least one year.
4) A small hot fi re is preferable to a large
smouldering one that can deposit creosote
within the system.
5) The chimney and chimney connector should
be inspected at least once every two months
during the heating season to determine is a
creosote buildup has occured.
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 accu-
mulated (3 mm/1/8" or more) it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney
fi re.
MAINTENANCE
It is very important to carefully maintain your
fi replace 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.
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 replacement 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.
DOOR LATCH
ADJUSTMENT
The door latch may require adjustment as the
door gasket material compresses over time.
Follow the steps below to allow the latch to
be moved closer to the door frame, causing a
tighter seal;
1) Unscrew latching sleeve.
2) Remove allen screw.
3) Spin door handle clockwise to desired depth.
4) Re-install allen screw and latching sleeve.
5) Adjust set screw to proper depth to ensure
that the handle does not rotate 360 degrees.
Set
Allen Screw
Screw
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, then your
fl ue is clean and your exhaust is clean.
Burn the stove hot enough to keep your
glass clean and you won't need to clean
your fl ue as often.
Regency Narrabri™ Freestanding Wood Fire
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.
