INSTALLATION

RESIDENTIAL

INSTALLATION

1) Please read this entire manual before you

install and use your new wood 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 INSTALLED 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 COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF AS/NZS 4013 WHERE REQUIRED BY THE REGULATORY AUTHORITY.

ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE

THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE TESTING AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED TO BE IN BREACH OF THE APPROVAL GRANTED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH AS/NZS 4013.

CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR

FLUE-SYSTEM COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES OR MODIFYING THE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATION 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) To insure vertical alignment, suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling over the exact center

of your stove 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-con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

oor, then move the stove aside and mark the position of the oor protector.

7) Install chimney according to chimney manufacturers instructions. The performance of

your wood re is governed to a very large

part by the chimney system. Too short a

chimney can cause difcult start-up, dirty

glass, backsmoking 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.

8) The oor protector must be of non-combustible material. Refer to page 7 for oor

protector clearances.

9) When the oor protection is complete, position the stove with the ue collar centered

under the installed chimney.

10) In seismically active areas, Regency recom-

mends that your unit is secured to the 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 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 ammable 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 overre heater. If the chimney connector, ue bafe or the stove top begin to glow, you are overring. Stop adding fuel and close the draft control. Overring can cause

extensive damage to your stove including warpage and premature steel corrosion.

Over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 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 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 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 re.

12) Do not connect your unit to any air distribution duct.

13) Your wood re should burn dry, standard rewood only. The use of cut timber, ply-

wood, “mill ends”, etc. is not allowed as this

fuel can easily overheat your wood 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 re logs also must not be burned in your wood re.

14) No combustible material should be closer

than the clearances as specied on page

15) DO NOT OPER ATE WITH BROK EN GLASS.

BRICK & CAST INSTALLATION

Insert the rear cast plate rst and then the side plates ensuring the cut out sections lock in rmly.

The bricks can then be placed on the base of the

rebox between the cast side and rear plates.

Firebrick is included to extend the life of your stove and radiate heat more evenly.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

With your unit now correctly installed and safety inspected by your local authority, you are now

ready to start a re. Before establishing your rst re, it is important that you fully understand

the operation of your draft control.

CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED 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 MODIFICATION 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 CONT ROL (AND DAMPER WHEN FITTED) BEFORE OPENING FIRING DOOR.

For safety reasons and in order to avoid

over ring of your unit do not burn your 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 rebox, just below the ue bafe.

Pull - Open

Push - Closed

WARNING: To build a 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 in-

spected you are ready for your rst re.

1) Open control fully.

2) Open rebox door and build a small re us-

ing paper and dry kindling on the rebrick hearth. Secure door on the rebox and wait a few minutes for a good updraft in the ue to establish the re. (Leaving the door slightly open will help your re start more rapidly.)

CAUTION: Never leave unit unattended

if door is left open. This procedure is for

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 re.

Form a trench in the ash bed to allow air to

reach the rear of the 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 re at a moderate

level.

WARNING: Never build a roaring 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 rebox, you may adjust

the draft control to a low setting to operate

the unit at its most efcient mode.

6) During the rst few res, keep the combus- tion rate at a moderate level and avoid a

large re. Only after 5 or 6 such res can

you operate the stove at its maximum setting, and only after the metal has been warmed.

7) For the 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 rst few times may damage the paint. Burn res at a moderate level the rst few days.

8) Do not place anything on the stove top

during the curing process. This may result

in damage to your paint nish.

Regency Gosford Freestanding Wood Fire

MAINTENANCE

9) During the rst few days it may be more

difcult to start the re. As you dry out your rebrick and your masonry ue, your draft

will increase.

10) For those units installed at higher elevations

or into sub-standard masonry 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 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

sufcient for the purpose. If you also have a 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, ue bafe

or any part of the chimney connector starts

to glow, you are over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 re.

Once all moisture has been removed, the draft control may be adjusted to maintain

the 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 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

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

efciently as it can. An easy rule of thumb

says that if your glass is clean, then your

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 ue as often.

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 ue of a slow burning re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue

lining. When ignited, this creosote can result

in an extremely hot re.

WARNING: Things to remember in case

of a chimney re:

1. Close all draft and damper controls.

2. CALL THE FIRE AUTHORITY.

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! Avoid burning wet or green wood. Seasoned wood has been dried at least one year.

4) A small hot 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 occurred.

6) Have chimney system and unit cleaned by competent chimney sweeps twice a

year during the rst year of use and at

least once a year thereafter or when a signicant layer of creosote has accumulated (3 mm/1/8" or more) it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney

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.

MAINTENANCE

It is very important to carefully maintain your

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) Remove split pin and roller sleeve.

2) Spin door handle anti-clockwise to tighten.

3) Replace split pin and roller sleeve.

* Set screw with Allen key provided.
