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 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.

jor cause of safety hazard. Check all local
building and safety codes before installation
of unit.

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.

NEY SYSTEM SERVICING ANOTHER APPLI-
ANCE OR AN AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT.

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 require-
ments 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 to use either a 5.5"
(140mm) or 6" (152mm) flue stainless steel liner.
This fireplace insert must be installed with a con-
tinuous chimney liner extending from the fireplace
insert to the top of the chimney. The chimney liner
must conform to the Class 3 requirements of CAN/
ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for Exist-
ing Masonry or Factory- Built Chimneys and Vents,
or CAN/ULC S640, Standard for Lining Systems for
New Masonry Chimneys,UL1777.
REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLING
SOLID-FUEL INSERTS IN FACTORY-
BUILT FIREPLACES.
1. The insert must be tested and meet the require-
ments of UL 1482 (U.S.) and or ULC S628
(Canada) when tested in a masonry fireplace.
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 chim-

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

"WARNING: This fireplace 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 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.
