9)  During the fi rst few days it may be more 

diffi cult to start the fi re. As you dry out your 
fi rebrick and your masonry fl ue, 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 the purpose.  If you also have 
a fi replace in your home, a downdraft may 
be created by your Regency Stove causing 
a draft down your chimney. If this occurs, 
slightly open a window near your unit.

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 stove 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 or the air supply 

passages should not be altered to increase 
fi ring for any reason.

17) If you burn the unit too slowly or at too low 

a setting your unit will not be operating as 
effi ciently as it can.  An easy rule of thumb 
says that if your glass is clean, then your fl ue 
is clean and your exhaust is clean.  Burn the 
stove hot enough to keep your glass clean 
and you won't need to clean your fl ue as 
often.

4)  After about 45 minutes, when your wood 

has begun to burn strongly, adjust your draft 
control down to keep the fi re at a moderate 
level.

5)  Once a bed of coals has been established 

on the fi rebrick hearth, you may adjust the 
draft control to a low setting to operate the 
unit at its most effi cient mode.

6)  During the fi rst few fi res, keep the combus-

tion rate at a moderate level and avoid a 
large fi re. Only after 5 or 6 such fi res can you 
operate the stove at its maximum setting, and 
only after the metal has been warmed.

7) For 

the 

fi rst few days, the stove will give off an 

odour from the paint. This is to be expected 
as the high temperature paint becomes sea-
soned. Windows and/or doors should be left 
open to provide adequate ventilation while 
this temporary condition exists. Burning the 
stove 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 stove top dur-

ing the curing process. This may result in 
damage to your paint fi nish.

Both the primary and air wash drafts are control-
led by the control rod located on the left side 
of the unit (when facing the unit). To increase 
your draft - pull open, and to decrease - push 
closed.  All units have a secondary draft system 
that continually allows combustion air to the 
induction ports at the top of the fi rebox, just 
below the fl ue baffl e.  

Important:  If you are using room air for combus-
tion, make sure that the back cover plate at the 
rear of the pedestal is not installed.  The cover 
plate must be installed on the unit if your stove 
is located in a mobile home or if using outside 
air from the bottom.

With your unit now correctly installed and safety 
inspected by your local authority, you are now 
ready to start a fi re.  Before establishing your 
fi rst fi re, it is important that you fully understand 
the operation of your draft control.

When your installation is completed and in-
spected you are ready for your fi rst fi re.

1) Open 

control 

fully.

2)  Open fi rebox door and build a small fi re us-

ing paper and dry kindling on the fi rebrick 
hearth.  Secure door on the fi rebox and 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.)

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.
