Regency Wood Insert & Hearth Heater5
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 fi replace 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 fi replace insert or hearth
heater.
4) Your fi replace 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 fi replace 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 fi replace 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 fi replace.
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
fi replace 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" (152mm)
fl ue.
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
fi replace built per ULC S628.
2) The factory-built fi replace must be listed per
UL 127 or ULC S610.
3) Clearances obtained from the masonry fi re-
place tests are also relevant for installation
in factory-built fi replaces.
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 fl ue collar and the
chimney top.
5) Means must be provided to prevent room
air passage to the chimney cavity of the
fi replace. This may be accomplished by
sealing the damper area around the chimney
liner, or sealing the fi replace front.
6) Alteration of the fi replace in any manner is not
permitted with the following exceptions;
a. external trim pieces which do not affect
the operation of the fi replace may be
removed providing they can be stored
on or within the fi replace for re-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
fi replace liner or metal heat circulator) shall
not be blocked.
8) Means must be provided for removal of the
insert to clean the chimney fl ue.
9) Inserts that project in front of the fi replace
must be supplied with appropriate supporting
means.
10) Installer must mechanically attach the sup-
plied label to the inside of the fi rebox of the
fi replace into which the insert is installed.
"WARNING: This fi replace has been converted
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
fi replace re-approved by the authority having
jurisdiction."
In order for a solid-fuel insert to be certifi ed
for use in factory-built fi replaces, the above
information must be clearly stated in the installation manual and appropriate markings. Final
approval is contingent on the authority having
jurisdiction.

INSTALLATION
LEG OPTION ON H2100
HEARTH HEATER
The addition of legs to the Hearth Heater does
not alter its certifi cation, 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 fi replace.
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
When referencing installation or connection to masonry fi replaces 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 fl ue connection are acceptable in
most areas, these include:
1) Positive fl ue connection, where a large
blocking plate and a short connector pipe
is used.
2) Direct fl ue connection, where a smaller
blocking plate and a connector pipe to the
fi rst fl ue liner tile is used.
3) Full fl ue liner, where a stainless steel rigid
or fl exible 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.
In Canada this fi replace insert must be installed with a continuous chimney liner of 6"
diameter extending from the fi replace insert
to the top of the chimney. The chimney liner
must conform to the Class 3 requirements
of CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.
Note: A clean-out door is sometimes
required, by your inspector, to be
installed when either the Positive fl ue
connection or Direct fl ue connection
method is used.
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 fl ue, but
will also help increase the unit's effi ciency and
decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected 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.
INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
NOTE: Adding the
legs changes the
height of the unit,
make sure you have
sufficient clearance
(min. 28") for your fl ue
connection.
FLUE CONNECTOR
BRACKET
Package contains: 3 brackets and 6 screws.
These brackets are to be used to hold the fl ue
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 fl ue liner.

(No Cleanout
Required)
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 exist-
ing 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.
Regency Wood Insert & Hearth Heater8
INSTALLATION
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).
FACEPLATE AND TRIM
Prior to sliding your insert into its fi nal 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)
(refer to Diagram 1).
2) Assemble the faceplate sides and top with
4 screws (see Diagram 2).
Diagram 3: I1100S
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 fi rst, to help them stay
in position).
2) Screw the side faceplate panels, (item A in
Diagram 4) one to each side.
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 required
width.
C) All units
The unit may now be slid into fi nal position and
attached to the connection system.
Once connection is made, the insulation strips
should be installed between the insert faceplates
and the fi replace face. The faceplate top may
now be installed (with insulation strip behind)
by aligning its brackets with the top fl ange 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 insula-
tion, faceplate top and faceplate trim
with the unit pulled slightly away from
the fi replace face. If this is done, be
very careful not to disturb the connector when shifting the unit to its
fi nal 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.

BRICK FLUE BAFFLE &
SECONDARY AIR TUBE
INSTALLATION
The fl ue baffl e system located in the upper area
of the fi rebox is removable to make cleaning
your chimney system easier. The brick baffl es
must be installed prior to your fi rst fi re. Smoke
spillage and draft problems may occur if the
baffl es are improperly positioned. Check the
position of the brick baffl es on a regular basis as
they can be dislodged if too much fuel is forced
into the fi rebox.
The Large Insert I3100L is shipped with one of
the secondary air tubes loose inside the fi rebox.
It needs to be installed after the brick baffl e are
installed. Follow the directions below.

Regency Wood Insert & Hearth Heater12
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and inspected, you are ready for your fi rst fi re.
1) Open draft control fully.
2) Open fi rebox door and build a small fi re using
paper and dry kindling, 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 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 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 15 to 20 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,
you may adjust the draft control to a low
setting to operate the unit in its most effi cient
mode.
6) During the fi rst couple of hours, keep the
combustion rate at a moderate level and
avoid a large fi re 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 fi rst few hours, the insert 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 insert 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 insert top
during the curing process. This may result
in damage to your paint fi nish.
9) During the fi rst few hours it may be more dif-
fi cult to start the fi re. As you dry out your fi re
brick and your masonry fl ue (if applicable),
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 this purpose.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit
(or in the H2100M fl ue baffl e) 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 insert 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 should not be altered
to increase fi ring 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 the fully 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 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.
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.
SOME SAFETY
GUIDELINES
1) Never use gasoline, gasoline 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 large quantities of paper in your
insert.
4) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
5) Do not overfi re your insert. If the insert or its
fl ue baffl e 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.
Regency Wood Insert & Hearth Heater13
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 fi re.
11) Do not connect your unit to any air distribu-
tion duct.
12) Your insert should burn dry, standard fi re-
wood 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 fi re 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 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.
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 baffl e system should allow
full access for cleaning.
WARNING: Things to remember 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 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 fi re 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 fi rst year of use and at least once
a year thereafter or when needed.
MAINTENANCE OF
GOLD-PLATED DOORS
The gold electroplated fi nish 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 fi nish 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
fi res. 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-by-step
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.
