INSTALLATION
Regency Inserts are constructed with the highest quality materials and assembled under strict
quality control procedures that insure years of
trouble free and reliable performance.
It is important that you read this manual thoroughly and fully understand the safe installation and operating procedures. The more you
understand the way your Regency Insert operates, the more enjoyment you will experience
from knowing that your unit is operating at peak
performance.
BEFORE INSTALLING
YOUR INSERT
1) Read all instructions before installing and
using your fireplace insert. Install and use
only in accordance with manufacturer’s
installation and operating instructions.
2) Check your local building codes - Building
Inspection Department. You may require a
permit before installing your insert. Be aware
that local codes and regulations may override some items in the manual.
WARNING: Careless installation is the
major cause of safety hazard. Check
all local building and safety codes
before installation of unit.
3) Notify your home insurance company that
you plan to install a fireplace insert or hearth
heater.
4) Your fireplace insert is heavy and requires
two or more people to move it safely. The
insert can be badly damaged by mishandling.
5) If your existing fireplace damper control will
become inaccessible once you have installed your Regency Insert, you should
either remove or secure it in the open
position.
6) Inspect your fireplace and chimney prior to
installing your insert to determine that it is
free from cracks, loose mortar or other
signs of damage. If repairs are required,
they should be completed before installing
your insert. Do not remove bricks or mortar
from your masonry fireplace.
7) Do not connect the insert to a chimney
system servicing another appliance or an
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.
CHIMNEY
SPECIFICATIONS
Before installing, check and clean your chimney system thoroughly. If in doubt about its
condition, seek professional advice. Your Regency Insert is designed for installation into a
masonry fireplace that is constructed in accordance with the requirements of "The Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid
Fuel Burning Appliance", N.F.P.A. 211, the
National Building Code of Canada, or the applicable local code requirements.
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes
or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the
Canadian Electrical code, CSA C22.1.
Regency Inserts are designed with a 6" flue.
Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built
Fireplaces.
1) The insert must be tested and meet the
requirements of UL 1482 (U.S.) and or ULC
S628 (Canada) when tested in a masonry
fireplace built per ULC S628.
2) The factory-built fireplace must be listed
per UL 127 or ULC S610.
3) Clearances obtained from the masonry fireplace tests are also relevant for installation
in factory-built fireplaces.
4) Installation must include a full height listed
chimney liner type HT requirements (2100
degree F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC S635
(Canada). The liner must be securely attached to the insert flue collar and the
chimney top.
5) Means must be provided to prevent room air
passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace. This may be accomplished by sealing
the damper area around the chimney liner,
or sealing the fireplace front.
6) The air flow within and around the fireplace
shall not be altered by the installation of the
insert (i.e. no louvers or cooling air or outlet
ports are blocked), unless specifically tested as such for each factory-built fireplace
manufacturer and model line. (Note - using
a louvered face plate (surround) complies
with this requirement).
7) Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is
not permitted with the following exceptions;
a. external trim pieces which do not affect
the operation of the fireplace may be
removed providing they can be stored
on or within the fireplace for re-assembly if the insert is removed.
b. the chimney damper may be removed to
install the chimney liner.
8) Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel
fireplace liner or metal heat circulator) shall
not be blocked.
9) Means must be provided for removal of the
insert to clean the chimney flue.
10) Inserts that project in front of the fireplace
must be supplied with appropriate supporting means.
11) A permanent metal warning label must be
attached to the back of the fireplace stating
that the fireplace must be restored to its
original condition for safe use with out the
insert.
In order for a solid-fuel insert to be certified for
use in factory-built fireplaces, the above information must be clearly stated in the installation
manual and appropriate markings. Final approval is contingent on the authority having
jurisdiction.

LEG OPTION ON H2100
HEARTH HEATER
The addition of legs to the Hearth Heater does
not alter its certification, it does not become a
freestanding woodstove. The H2100 can only
be installed as a Hearth Heater i.e. vented into
a masonry or factory built fireplace.
The instructions below apply to the steel leg,
painted cast leg and the gold plated cast leg. It
will be easier to attach the legs to the stove if
it is tipped on its back (preferably on a soft
surface to prevent scratching).
1) Thread the bolt and washer through the
leg, and then into the nutsert in the base
of the stove and tighten.
2) Level the stove by adjusting the levelling
bolts in the bottom of each leg.
INSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE
The insert must be installed as per the requirements of your local inspection authority. Three
methods of flue connection are acceptable in
most areas, these include:
1) Positive flue connection, where a large
blocking plate and a short connector pipe is
used.
2) Direct flue connection, where a smaller
blocking plate and a connector pipe to the
first flue liner tile is used.
3) Full flue liner, where a stainless steel rigid
or flexible liner pipe is routed from the insert
outlet collar to the top of the chimney.
Regency highly recommends the use of a full
liner as the safest installation and provides the
most optimum performance. Your retailer should
be able to help you decide which system would
be the best for your application.
The use of one of the connection methods
listed on this page not only increases the safety
of your insert by directing the hot gases up the
flue, but will also help increase the unit's
efficiency and decrease creosote deposits in
the chimney.
When a connected flue 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, difficult startups, smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
1) When installed in a factory built fireplace,
a full stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner
is mandatory, for both safety and performance purposes. When a flue 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, difficult start-ups, smoking out the door,
and dirty glass.
2) In order to position the flue liner, the existing
rain cap must be removed from your chimney system. In most cases the flue damper
should also be removed to allow passage
of the liner.
NOTE: Adding the legs
changes the height of
the unit, make sure you
have sufficient clearance (min. 28") for your
flue connection.
FLUE CONNECTOR
BRACKET
Package contains: 3 brackets and 6 screws.
These brackets are to be used to hold the flue
liner (not supplied) to the Insert and keep the
connection. The brackets are screwed into the
top of the Insert in the pre-punched holes and
then screwed into the flue 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 floor of your fireplace is below the
level of the fireplace 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 flue 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 first
positioning the flue liner and offset if required. (Re-install raincap at completion of
installation).
FACEPLATE AND TRIM
Prior to sliding your insert into its final position
and attaching the connector or liner pipe, the
faceplate side panel plates must be installed as
follows:
A) I1100S Small Insert
1) Fasten the faceplate mounting bracket to
the side of the insert (one on each side)
using the screws provided (2 screws per
bracket). Diagram 1.
Diagram 3: I1100S
B) H2100M, I2100M and I3100L Inserts
1) Slide the spring nuts (supplied) over the
slots in the insert’s side convection panels
(the spring nuts may need to be squeezed
with a pair of pliers first, to help them stay
in position).
2) Screw the side faceplate panels, (item A in
diagram 4) one to each side.
C) All units
The unit may now be slid into final position and
attached to the connection system.
Once connection is made, the insulation strips
should be installed between the insert faceplates and the fireplace face. The faceplate top
may now be installed (with insulation strip
behind) by aligning its brackets with the top
flange on the side shields and the angle iron bar
on the insert top. The faceplate trim may be
installed to the edge of the faceplate at this time.
I1100S: Drill two 5/32" diameter holes through
the trim and side panels and screw the trim to
the panels using the gold plated screws provided.
Note: It may be easier to install the insu-
lation, faceplate top and faceplate
trim with the unit pulled slightly
away from the fireplace face. If
this is done, be very careful not to
disturb the connector when shifting the unit to its final position.
Now that your insert is installed, check once
more that all the clearances from the unit to any
combustible materials are correct as listed
earlier.
Diagram 1: I1100S
2) Assemble the faceplate sides and top with
4 screws. See Diagram 2.
Diagram 2: I1100S
Rear View
3) Attach the assembled faceplate to the faceplate mounting brackets.
3) Using the top panel (item B in the diagram) as
a gauge, check that the side panels are
within approximately 1/4" of the overall
width. If the difference is greater
than this, use the supplied
washers to attain the re-
quired width.

FLOOR PROTECTION
Please check to ensure that your floor protection and hearth will meet the standards for
clearance to combustibles. Your hearth extension must be made from a non-combustible
material.
FIREBRICK ASSEMBLY
Firebrick is included to extend the life of your
insert and radiate heat more evenly. Check to
see that all firebricks are in their correct
positions and have not become misaligned
during shipping.
Small Insert (I1100S)
BRICK FLUE BAFFLE &
SECONDARY AIR TUBE
INSTALLATION
The flue baffle system located in the upper area
of the firebox is removable to make cleaning
your chimney system easier. The brick baffles
must be installed prior to your first fire. Smoke
spillage and draft problems may occur if
the baffles are improperly positioned.
Check the position of the brick baffles on a
regular basis as they can be dislodged if too
much fuel is forced into the firebox.
The Large Insert I3100L is shipped with two of
the secondary air tubes loose inside the firebox. They need to be installed after the brick
baffle are installed. Follow the directions below.
Large Insert I3100L
The unit arrives with the first two air tubes
(from the front) and the 2 baffle bricks on the
floor of the firebox. The baffle bricks are
positioned first and then the air tubes are
installed.
NOTE: If the first 2 airtubes are already
installed in the stove, they must
be removed in order to install the
Brick Baffles.
3) Important: push both baffle bricks so
they are tight against the side walls.
Front View
4) Install the two front air tubes into the holes
on the side channels. The notch goes on
the right hand side with the air holes facing
forward toward the door opening. If the
tube will not slide in easily, simply use a pair
of vise grips or pliers and tap it into place
with a hammer. A tighter fit will ensure the
tube will not move when the unit is burning.

1) If the two air tubes are installed continue on
to Step 2), if not, follow the instructions
below. Install the air tube into the holes in the
side channels. The notch goes on the right
hand side with the air holes facing toward
the door. Slide the tube into the left hand
side, as far as possible and then bring it
back into the hole on the right hand side until
it locks into position. If the tube will not slide
in easily simply use a pair of vise grips or
pliers and tap it into place with a hammer. A
tighter fit will ensure the tube will not move
when the unit is burning. See the diagram
for the large air tube installation (page 11),
though there are only two air tubes in the
small units.
2) Slide the left baffle brick over the front air
tube and then slide it back over the rear air
tube.

Note: When getting the chimney cleaned,
remove the baffle bricks for access to the flue, then replace them
when cleaning is completed.
Hearth Heater (H2100M) -
Steel Baffle
Place the insulation batt on top of the baffle.
Make sure that this batt is laying flat and does
not obstruct the smoke from getting up the flue
opening. This insulating batt may be wrapped
in paper for handling purposes and does not
require removal. Batt hold down weights are
supplied with the unit and are to be placed on
the insulation to either side of the flame spreader as shown in the diagram and at the rear,
directly in front of the flue opening.
Lift the front end of the baffle up and over the
rear of the air
tube. On
Hearth Heater
(H2100M) remove center
tube by sliding
it sideways
first and then
down.
DRAFT CONTROL
Before establishing your first fire, it is important
that your fully understand the operation of you
draft control. The draft rod is on the left side of
the Inserts and it controls the intensity of the fire
by increasing or decreasing the amount of air
allowed into the firebox. To increase your draft
- pull open, and to decrease - push closed.
Pull Open Push Closed
As well as a primary and glass wash air
system, the unit has a full secondary draft
system that allows air to the induction ports at
the top of the firebox, just below the flue baffle.
WARNING: To build a fire in ignorance or
to disregard the information contained in
this section can cause serious permanent damage to the unit and void your
warranty.
DOOR HANDLE
Attach spring handle by rotating counter clockwise onto rod.
Ensure that the rod
fits into the entire
length of the
spring handle.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and inspected, you are ready for your first fire.
1) Open draft control fully.
2) Open firebox door and build a small fire
using paper and dry kindling, wait a few
minutes for a good updraft in the flue to
establish the fire. Leaving the door slightly
open will help your fire start more rapidly.
CAUTION: Never leave unit unattended if door is left open. This
procedure is for fire start-up only, as
unit may over-heat 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 fire.
Form a trench in the ash bed to allow air to
reach the rear of the firebox prior to closing
the door.
4) After about 15 to 20 minutes, when your
wood has begun to burn strongly, adjust
your draft control down to keep the fire at
a moderate level.
WARNING: Never build a roaring
fire in a cold stove. Always warm
your stove up slowly!
5) Once a bed of coals has been established,
you may adjust the draft control to a low
setting to operate the unit in its most efficient
mode.
6) During the first couple of hours, keep the
combustion rate at a moderate level and
avoid a large fire until the paint is cured. Only
then can you operate the insert at its maximum setting, and only after the metal has
been warmed.
7) For the first few hours, the insert will give
off an odor 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 insert at a very high
temperature the first few times may damage the paint. Burn fires at a moderate level
the first few days.
10)For those units installed at higher elevations
or into sub-standard masonry fireplaces,
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 fire 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
sufficient for this purpose.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit (or
in the H2100M flue baffle) starts to
glow you are overfiring. 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 fire.
Once all moisture has been removed, the
draft control may be adjusted to maintain the
fire.
15)If you have been burning your insert on a
low draft, use caution when opening the
door. After opening the damper, open the
door a crack, and allow the fire to adjust
before fully opening the door.
16)The controls of your unit should not be
altered to increase firing for any reason.
FAN OPERATION (ALL
UNITS)
The fan is to be operated only with the draft
control rod pulled out at least 1/2" from thefully closed position. The fan is not to be
operated when the draft control rod is in the
closed position (pushed in). The fully closed
position is the low burn setting.
The automatic temperature sensor will engage
the blower when the unit is at temperature and
will shut off the blower once the fire has gone
out and the unit has cooled to below a useful
heat output range.
To manually operate the fan system, push the
first 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.
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 firebox, under
the loading door lip.
DO NOT ALLOW ASHES TO BUILD UP TO
THE LOADING DOORS.
Only remove ashes when the fire has died
down. Even then, expect to find a few hot
embers. Always leave 1 to 2 inches of ash in
the bottom of the firebox. This helps in easier
starting and a more uniform burn of your fire.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container
with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a noncombustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending final 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.
SOME SAFETY
GUIDELINES
1) Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern
fuels, kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or
similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire
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 large quantities of paper in your
insert.
8) Do not place anything on the insert top
during the curing process. This may result
in damage to your paint finish.
9) During the first few hours it may be more
difficult to start the fire. As you dry out your
fire brick and your masonry flue (if applicable), your draft will increase.
Regency Insert & Hearth Heater13
The fan unit must not be turned on until a fire 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.
4) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
5) Do not overfire your insert. If the insert or
its flue baffle begin to glow, you are overfiring. Stop adding fuel and close the draft
control. Overfiring can cause extensive
damage to your stove including warpage
and premature steel corrosion. Overfiring
will void your warranty.
Page 14
MAINTENANCE
6) Do not permit creosote or soot buildup in the
chimney system. Check and clean chimney
at regular intervals.
7) Your Regency Insert can be very hot. You
may be seriously burned if you touch the
insert while it is operating. Warn children of
the burn hazard.
8) The insert consumes air while operating,
provide adequate ventilation with an air
duct or open a window while the insert is
in use.
9) Do not use grates, irons or other methods
for supporting fuel. Burn directly on the
bricks.
10)Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15
seconds prior to slowly opening the door
when refuelling the fire.
11)Do not connect your unit to any air distribution duct.
12)Your insert should burn dry, standard firewood only. The use of “mill ends” is discouraged as this fuel can easily overheat
your insert. Evidence of excessive overheating will void your warranty. As well, a
large portion of sawmill waste is chemically
treated lumber, which is illegal to burn in
many areas. Chemically treated fire logs
also must not be burned in your insert.
13)Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet from
your unit.
14)Do not burn salt drift wood as it will corrode
your unit and void the warranty.
15)Do not operate the unit if the glass is broken
or missing. Do not operate the unit if the
gasketing is worn out and not sealing the
door or the glass.
It is very important to carefully maintain your
insert, 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 insert require no lubrication.
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
flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
When ignited, this creosote can make an extremely hot fire.
Removal for Cleaning etc.
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 baffle system
should allow full access for cleaning.
WARNING: Things to remember in case
of chimney fire:
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 15 minutes every morning during
burning season. This helps to prevent
creosote deposits within the heating system.
2) Burn insert 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! Avoid
burning wet or green wood. Seasoned
wood has been dried at least one year.
4) A small hot fire is preferable to a large
smouldering 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 first year of use and at least once
a year thereafter or when needed.
MAINTENANCE OF
GOLD-PLATED DOORS
The gold electroplated finish on the doors
requires little maintenance, and need only be
cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as they
may harm the finish and void the warranty.
DOOR GASKET
If the door gasket requires replacement, 7/8"
diameter material must be used. A proper high
temperature gasket adhesive is required. A
gasket repair kit, Part # 846-570 is available
from your local Regency dealer.
DOOR LATCH
ADJUSTMENT
The door latch may require adjustment as the
door gasket material compresses after a few
fires. Removal of the spacer washer, shown
in the diagram below, will allow the latch to be
moved closer to the door frame, causing a
tighter seal. Remove and replace the nuts,
washer as shown.
GLASS CLEANING
Only clean your glass window when it is cool.
Your local retailer can supply you with special
glass cleaner if plain water and a soft cloth
does not remove all deposits.
GLASS
REPLACEMENT
Your Regency Insert 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-bystep instructions.
GLASS REMOVAL
Allow the stove to cool before removing or
replacing glass. Remove the door from the
insert and remove the glass retainer. Use
caution when removing broken glass to prevent injury.
When placing the replacement glass in the door,
make sure that the glass gasketing will properly
seal your unit. Replace the retainer and tighten
securely, but do not wrench down on the glass
as this may cause breakage. Do not substitute
materials. If your glass door does break, do not
continue to use your unit until it has been
replaced.
