Regency Inserts are constructed with the high-
est 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 thor-
oughly and fully understand the safe instal-
lation and operating procedures. The more
you understand the way your Regency Insert
operates, the more enjoyment you will experi-
ence from knowing that your unit is operating
at peak performance.
BEFORE INSTALLING
YOUR INSERT
1) Please read this entire manual before you
install and use your new wood insert. Failure
to follow instructions may result in property
damage, bodily injury or even death. Install
and use only in accordance with manufactur-
er'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 mishan-
dling.

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 posi-
tion.
6) Inspect your fireplace and flue prior to install-
ing 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 flue system
servicing another appliance or an air
distribution duct.
RESIDENTIAL
INSTALLATION
1) Please read this entire manual before you
install and use your new wood fire. 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 ACCORD-
ANCE 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 COMPLI-
ANCE 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 HAZ-
ARDOUS CONDITIONS. WHERE SUCH
ACTION IS CONSIDERED, THE MANU-
FACTURER SHOULD BE CONSULTED
IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.
3) Re-confirm the clearance from the insert to
combustibles to insure that they are within
the prescribed limits.
4) Install flue according to flue manufacturers
instructions. The performance of your wood
fire is governed to a very large part by the
flue system. Too short a flue can cause
difficult start-up, dirty glass, backsmoking
when door is open, and even reduced heat
output. Too tall a flue may prompt excessive
draft which can result in very short burn times
and excessive heat output.
5) The floor protector must be of non-combus-
tible material.
6) Do not connect this unit to a flue serving
another appliance.
