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 ACCORDANCE
WITH AS/NZS 2918:2001 AND THE AP-
PROPRIATE 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) Select a position for your Regency Heater.
Consult the minimum clearance chart for
your model and set the heater in place. For
close clearance installation use listed double
wall connector systems.
4) To ensure vertical alignment, suspend a
plumb bob from the ceiling over the exact
center of your heater flue and mark a spot
on the ceiling to indicate the center of the
flue.
5) Check that the area above the ceiling is
clear for cutting. Re-confirm the clearance
from the heater to combustibles to ensure
that they are within the prescribed limits.
6) Mark the location of the pedestal base on
the floor, then move the heater aside and
mark the position of the floor protector.
7) 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
6
even reduced heat output. Too tall a flue may
prompt excessive draft which can result in very
short burn times and excessive heat output.
8) The floor protector must be of non-combustible
material. Refer to page 7 for floor protector
clearances.
9) When the floor protection is complete, position
the heater with the flue collar centered under
the installed flue.
10) In seismically active areas, Regency recom-
mends that your unit is secured to the floor by
using the bolt down holes inside the pedestal.
11) Do not connect this unit to a flue serving
another appliance.
SAFETY GUIDELINES AND
WARNINGS
1) Never use petrol, petrol-type lantern fuels, kero-
sene, 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 any quantities of paper, garbage,
and never burn flammable fluids such as petrol,
naptha or engine oil in your heater.
4) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
5) Do not overfire heater. If the flue connector,
flue baffle or the heater top begin to glow, you
are overfiring. Stop adding fuel and close the
draft control. Overfiring can cause extensive
damage to your heater including warpage and
premature steel corrosion. Overfiring will void
your warranty.
6) Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in the
flue system. Check and clean flue at regular
intervals. Failure to do so can result in a serious
flue fire.
7) Your Regency heater can be very hot. You may
be seriously burned if you touch the heater
while it is operating, keep children, clothing
and furniture away. Warn children of the burn
hazard. For safety reasons a guard around
the fire is recommended.
8) The heater consumes air while operating,
provide adequate ventilation with an air duct
or open a window while the heater is in use.
Due to tighter sealed homes, a potential
negative pressure can be created by extrac-
tion fans, etc.
9) Do not connect this unit to a flue 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 fire.
12) Do not connect your unit to any air distribution
duct.
13) Your wood fire should burn dry, standard fire-
wood only. The use of cut timber, plywood, "mill
ends", etc. is not allowed as this fuel can easily
overheat your wood fire. 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
fire logs also must not be burned in your wood
fire.
14) No combustible material should be closer than
the clearances as specified on page 7.
15) DO NOT OPERATE WITH BROKEN GLASS.
BRICK & BAFFLE
INSTALLATION
Firebrick comes installed in each heater and is
made to extend the life of your heater and to radiate
heat more evenly.
Important: Remove the packing material from
above and below the top bricks. Check to see that
all firebricks are in their correct positions and have
not become misaligned during shipping.
