LABEL SAFETY

installation

Regency Inserts are constructed with the highestqualitymaterialsandassembledunderstrict 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 youplantoinstallafireplaceinsertorhearth 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

Beforeinstalling,checkandcleanyourchimney system thoroughly. If in doubt about its condition, seek professional advice. Your Regency

Insertisdesignedforinstallationintoamasonry fireplace that is constructed in accordance with therequirementsof"TheStandardforChimneys,

Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliance", N.F.P.A. 211, the National Building

Regency Inserts are designed to use either a 5.5" (140mm) or 6" (152mm) flue.

Requirements for Installing Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built Fireplaces.

1)The insert must be tested and meet the requirements of UL1482 (U.S.) and or ULC S628 (Canada) when tested in a masonry fireplace built per ULC S628.

2)Thefactory-builtfireplacemustbelistedper

UL 127 or ULC S610.

3)Clearancesobtainedfromthemasonryfireplace 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 sealingthedamperareaaroundthechimney liner, or sealing the fireplace front.

6)Alterationofthefireplaceinanymannerisnot 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 onorwithinthefireplaceforre-assembly if the insert is removed.

b.the chimney damper may be removed to install the chimney liner.

7)Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fireplace liner or metal heat circulator) shall not be blocked.

8)Means must be provided for removal of the insert to clean the chimney flue.

9)Inserts that project in front of the fireplace mustbesuppliedwithappropriatesupporting means.

"WARNING:Thisfireplacehasbeenconverted for use with a wood insert only and cannot be used for burning wood or solid fuels unless all original parts have been replaced, and the fireplace re-approved by the authority having jurisdiction."

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.

Thermal floor protection is not required if the unit is raised 3.5" minimum (measured from the bottom of the stove). However, standard ember floor protection is required. It will need to be a non-combustible material that covers 16" (406 mm) in the US and 18" (450 mm) in Canada to the front of the unit and 8" (200 mm) to the sides.

Leg Option On H2100

Installation Into a

Hearth Heater

Masonry Fireplace

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 cast legs. 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.

NOTE: Adding the legs changes the height of the unit, make sure you have sufficient clearance (min. 28") for your flue connection.

When referencing installation or connection to masonry fireplaces or chimneys, the masonry construction must or shall be code complying.

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 mostoptimumperformance. Yourretailershould be able to help you decide which system would be the best for your application.

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.

In Canada this fireplace insert must be installed with a continuous chimney liner of either 5.5" or 6" diameter extending from the fireplace insert to the top of the chimney.Thechimneylinermustconform to the Class 3 requirements of CAN/ULCS640, Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.

Note: A clean-out door is sometimes required, by your inspector, to be installedwheneitherthePositiveflue connectionorDirectflueconnection method is used.

Theuseofoneoftheconnectionmethodslisted onthispagenotonlyincreasesthesafetyofyour 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 greaterdrafttobecreated. Thegreaterdraftcan decrease problems such as, difficult start-ups, 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.

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.
