Regency Wood Insert & Hearth Heater

13

automatic temperature sensor will engage the 
blower when the unit is at temperature and will 
shut off the blower once the fi re has gone out 
and the unit has cooled to below a useful heat 
output range. 

To manually operate the fan system, push the 
fi rst switch to "Man" and second switch to either 
"high" or "Low". This will bypass the sensing 
device and allow full control of the fan. Switch-
ing from "Auto" to "Manual" or "High" to "Low" 
may be done at any time.

During constant use, ashes should be removed 
every few days. Please take care to prevent the 
build-up of ash around the start-up air housing 
located inside the fi rebox, under the loading 
door lip.

Only remove ashes when the fi re has died down. 
Even then, expect to fi nd a few hot embers. 
Always leave 1 to 2 inches of ash in the bottom 
of the fi rebox. This helps in easier starting and 
a more uniform burn of your fi re.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with 
a tight fi tting lid. The closed container of ashes 
should be placed on a noncombustible fl oor or 
on the ground, well away from all combustible 
materials, pending fi nal disposal. If the ashes 
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise 
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the 
closed container until all cinders have thoroughly 
cooled.  Other waste should not be placed in 
the ash container.

1)  Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern 

fuels, kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or 
similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fi re 
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 large quantities of paper in your 

insert.

4)  If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke 

spillage as this may set off a false alarm.

5)  Do not overfi re your insert. If the insert or its 

fl ue baffl e begin to glow, you are overfi ring.  
Stop adding fuel and close the draft control. 
Overfi ring can cause extensive damage to 
your stove including warpage and premature 
steel corrosion. Overfi ring will void your 
warranty.

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

1) Open 

draft 

control 

fully.

2) Open 

fi rebox door and build a small fi re using 

paper and dry kindling, 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.

4)  After about 15 to 20 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, 

you may adjust the draft control to a low 
setting to operate the unit in its most effi cient 
mode.

6)  During the fi rst couple of hours, keep the 

combustion rate at a moderate level and 
avoid a large fi re until the paint is cured. 
Only then can you operate the insert at its 
maximum setting, and only after the metal 
has been warmed.

7)  For the fi rst few hours, the insert will give 

off an odour from the paint. This is to be 
expected as the high temperature paint 
becomes seasoned. Windows and/or doors 
should be left open to provide adequate 
ventilation while this temporary condition 
exists.  Burning the insert 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 insert top 

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

9)  During the fi rst few hours it may be more dif-

fi cult to start the fi re.  As you dry out your fi re 
brick and your masonry fl ue (if applicable), 
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 this purpose.

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 insert 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 should not be altered 

to increase fi ring for any reason.

The fan is to be operated only with the draft 
control rod pulled out at least 1/2" from the 
fully closed position.  The fan is not to be 
operated when the draft control rod is in the 
closed position (pushed in). The fully closed 
position is the low burn setting.

The fan unit must not be turned on until a fi re 
has been burning for at least 30 minutes and 
the unit is hot enough. As well, after each fuel 
loading the fan must be shut off until 30 minutes 
has elapsed.

To operate fan automatically, push switch on 
side of fan housing to "Auto" and second switch 
to either "High" or "Low" for fan speed. The
