Regency Insert & Hearth Heater 13
The automatic temperature sensor will engage
the blower when the unit is at temperature and
will shut off the blower once the fire has gone
out and the unit has cooled to below a useful
heat output range.
To manually operate the fan system, push the
first switch to "Man" and second switch to
either "high" or "Low". This will bypass the
sensing device and allow full control of the fan.
Switching from "Auto" to "Manual" or "High" to
"Low" may be done at any time.
ASH DISPOSAL
During constant use, ashes should be re-
moved every few days. Please take care to
prevent the build-up of ash around the start-up
air housing located inside the firebox, under
the loading door lip.
DO NOT ALLOW ASHES TO BUILD UP TO
THE LOADING DOORS.
Only remove ashes when the fire has died
down. Even then, expect to find a few hot
embers. Always leave 1 to 2 inches of ash in
the bottom of the firebox. This helps in easier
starting and a more uniform burn of your fire.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container
with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a noncombustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending final 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.
SOME SAFETY
GUIDELINES
1) Never use gasoline, gasoline 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 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 overfire your insert. If the insert or
its flue baffle begin to glow, you are over-
firing. 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and in-
spected, you are ready for your first fire.
1) Open draft control fully.
2) Open firebox door and build a small fire
using paper and dry kindling, wait a few
minutes for a good updraft in the flue to
establish the fire. Leaving the door slightly
open will help your fire start more rapidly.
CAUTION: Never leave unit unat-
tended if door is left open. This
procedure is for fire start-up only, as
unit may over-heat if door is left
open for too long.
3) With the draft still in the fully open position,
add two or three seasoned logs to your fire.
Form a trench in the ash bed to allow air to
reach the rear of the firebox 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 fire at
a moderate level.
WARNING: Never build a roaring
fire in a cold stove. Always warm
your stove up slowly!
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 efficient
mode.
6) During the first couple of hours, keep the
combustion rate at a moderate level and
avoid a large fire until the paint is cured. Only
then can you operate the insert at its max-
imum setting, and only after the metal has
been warmed.
7) For the first few hours, the insert will give
off an odor 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 first few times may dam-
age the paint. Burn fires at a moderate level
the first few days.
8) Do not place anything on the insert top
during the curing process. This may result
in damage to your paint finish.
9) During the first few hours it may be more
difficult to start the fire. As you dry out your
fire brick and your masonry flue (if applica-
ble), your draft will increase.
10)For those units installed at higher elevations
or into sub-standard masonry fireplaces,
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 proc-
ess. 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 sec-
onds until fire has been re-established. This
will minimize any smoking.
13)All fuel burning appliances consume oxy-
gen during operation. It is important that you
supply a source of fresh air to your unit
while burning. A slightly opened window is
sufficient for this purpose.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit (or
in the H2100M flue baffle) starts to
glow you are overfiring. Stop load-
ing fuel immediately and close the
draft control until the glow has com-
pletely subsided.
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 fire.
Once all moisture has been removed, the
draft control may be adjusted to maintain the
fire.
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 fire to adjust
before fully opening the door.
16)The controls of your unit should not be
altered to increase firing for any reason.
FAN OPERATION (ALL
UNITS)
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 fire 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.
