1) Never use petrol, petrol type lantern fuels, kerosene, 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 flam-
mable fluids such as petrol, naptha or engine oil in your stove.
4) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke spillage as this may
set off a false alarm.
5) Do not overfire heater. If the chimney connector, flue baffle or the
stove top begin to glow, you are overfiring. Stop adding fuel and close
the draft control. Overfiring can cause extensive damage to your stove
including warpage and premature steel corrosion. Overfiring will void
your warranty.
6) Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in the chimney system.
Check and clean chimney at regular intervals. Failure to do so can
result in a serious chimney fire.
7) Your Regency stove can be very hot. You may be seriously burned
if you touch the stove 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 stove consumes air while operating, provide adequate ventila-
tion with an air duct or open a window while the stove is in use or use
optional outside air kit.
9) Do not use grates or andirons or other methods for supporting fuel.
Burn directly on the base or bricks where supplied.
10) Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15 seconds prior to slowly
opening the door when refuelling the fire.
11) Do not connect your unit to any air distribution duct.
12) Your wood fire should burn dry, standard firewood 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.
13) DO NOT OPERATE WITH BROKEN GLASS.
