Regency CS1200  Freestanding Wood Stove

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and 
other organic vapors, which when combined with 
moisture, form creosote. The creosote vapors 
condense in the relatively cool chimney fl ue  of 
a slow burning fi re. As a result, creosote residue 
accumulates on the fl ue lining.  When ignited, this 
creosote can result in an extremely hot fi re.

WARNING:  Things to remember in case of a 
chimney fi re:

1. Close all draft and damper controls.

2. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Ways to Prevent and Keep Unit Free of 

Creosote

1)  Burn stove with the draft control wide open 

for about 10-15 minutes every morning during 
burning season.

2)  Burn stove with draft control wide open for 

about 10 - 15 minutes every time you apply 
fresh wood. This allows the wood to achieve 
the charcoal stage faster and burns up any 
unburned gas vapours which might otherwise 
be deposited within the system.

3)  Only burn seasoned wood!  Avoid burning wet 

or green wood. Seasoned wood has been dried 
at least one year.

4)  A small hot fi re is preferable to a large smoul-

dering one that can deposit creosote within the 
system.

5)  Check the chimney at least twice a month dur-

ing the burning season for creosote build-up.

6)  Have chimney system and unit cleaned by 

competent chimney sweeps twice a year during 
the fi rst year of use and at least once a year 
thereafter or when a signifi cant layer of creosote 
has accumulated (3 mm/1/8" or more) it should 
be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fi re. 

 

Allow the stove to cool before removing or replacing 
glass.  Remove the door from the stove and remove 
the glass retainer. Use caution when removing 
broken glass to avoid injury.  When placing the 
replacement glass in the door, make sure that the 
glass gasketing will properly seal your unit.  Replace 
the retainer, it should rest on the gasket not the 
glass, and tighten securely with a glass clips and 
screws.  Do not wrench down on the glass as this 
may cause breakage.

Do not use substitute materials.  If your glass does 
break, do not continue to use your unit until it has 
been replaced.

It is very important to carefully maintain your fi re-
place stove, including burning seasoned wood and 
maintaining a clean stove and chimney system. 
Have the chimney cleaned before the burning 
season and as necessary during the season, as 
creosote deposits may build up rapidly. Moving 
parts of your stove require no lubrication.

The door catch may require adjustment as the door 
gasket material compresses after a few fi res.  Re-
moval of the spacer washer, shown in the diagram 
below, will allow the catch to be moved closer to 
the door frame, causing a tighter seal.  Remove 
and replace the nuts, washer and spacer as shown.

If the door gasket requires replacement 7/8" diameter 
material must be used. Regency uses AMATEX # 10-
863KR 7/8" dia. gasket. A proper high temperature 
gasket adhesive is required.  See your Regency 
Dealer.

Your Regency stove is supplied with 5 mm Neoceram 
ceramic glass that will withstand the highest heat 
that your unit will produce.  In the event that you 
break your glass by impact, purchase your replace-
ment from an authorized Regency dealer only, and 
follow our step-by-step instructions for replacement.

Allow the stove to cool down before cleaning the 
glass, do not clean the glass when it is hot. Do not 
use abrasive cleaners.
