Theinsert can be badly damaged by mishandling.5) If your existing fireplace damper controlwill become inaccessible once you haveinstalled your <strong>Regency</strong> Insert, you shouldeither remove or secure it in the open position.6) Inspect your fireplace and chimney priorto installing your insert to determine that itis free from cracks, loose mortar or othersigns of damage. If repairs are required,they should be completed before installingyour insert. Do not remove bricks or mortarfrom your masonry fireplace.7) Do not connect the insert to a chimneysystem servicing another appliance oran air distribution duct.Emissions from burning wood or gas couldcontain chemicals known to the State of Californiato cause cancer, birth defects or otherreproductive harm.ChimneySpecificationsBefore installing, check and clean your chimneysystem thoroughly. If in doubt about its condition,seek professional advice. Your <strong>Regency</strong>Insert is designed for installation into a masonryfireplace that is constructed in accordance withthe requirements of "The Standard for Chimneys,<strong>Fireplace</strong>s, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliance",N.F.P.A. 211, the National BuildingCode of Canada, or the applicable local coderequirements.The appliance, when installed, must be electricallygrounded in accordance with local codes or,in the absence of local codes, with the NationalElectrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the CanadianElectrical code, CSA C22.1.<strong>Regency</strong> Inserts are designed to use either a5.5" (140mm) or 6" (152mm) flue.Requirements for InstallingSolid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built<strong>Fireplace</strong>s.1) The insert must be tested and meet therequirements of UL 1482 (U.S.) and or ULCS628 (Canada) when tested in a masonryfireplace built per ULC S628.2) The factory-built fireplace must be listed perUL 127 or ULC S610.3) Clearances obtained from the masonry fireplacetests are also relevant for installationin factory-built fireplaces.4) <strong>Installation</strong> must include a full height listedchimney liner type HT requirements (2100degree F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULCS635 (Canada). The liner must be securelyattached to the insert flue collar and thechimney top.5) Means must be provided to prevent roomair passage to the chimney cavity of thefireplace. This may be accomplished bysealing the damper area around the chimneyliner, or sealing the fireplace front.6) Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is notpermitted with the following exceptions;a. external trim pieces which do not affectthe operation of the fireplace may beremoved providing they can be storedon or within the fireplace for re-assemblyif the insert is removed.b. the chimney damper may be removedto install the chimney liner.7) Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steelfireplace liner or metal heat circulator) shallnot be blocked.8) Means must be provided for removal of theinsert to clean the chimney flue.9) Inserts that project in front of the fireplacemust be supplied with appropriate supportingmeans.10) Installer must mechanically attach the suppliedlabel to the inside of the firebox of thefireplace into which the insert is installed."WARNING: This fireplace has been convertedfor use with a wood insert only and cannot beused for burning wood or solid fuels unlessall original parts have been replaced, and thefireplace re-approved by the authority havingjurisdiction."In order for a solid-fuel insert to be certifiedfor use in factory-built fireplaces, the aboveinformation must be clearly stated in the installationmanual and appropriate markings. Finalapproval is contingent on the authority havingjurisdiction.Wood InsertSpecificationsYour fireplace opening requires the followingminimum sizes:Height: 21.5"Width: 25"Depth: 17"Two faceplates are available to seal the fireplaceopening:StandardOversize40" W x 30" H 48" W x 33" H6<strong>Regency</strong> I2400M

installationFlue ConnectorBracketPackage contains: 3 brackets and 6 screws.These brackets are to be used to hold the flueliner (not supplied) to the Insert and keep theconnection. The brackets are screwed into thetop of the Insert in the pre-punched holes andthen screwed into the flue liner.1) Positive FlueConnectionwith Cleanout2) Direct FlueConnectionwith CleanoutStep-by-step<strong>Installation</strong> Into AFactory Built<strong>Fireplace</strong>1) When installed in a factory built fireplace, afull stainless steel rigid or flexible flue lineris mandatory, for both safety and performancepurposes. When a flue or liner is inuse, the insert is able to breathe better byallowing a greater draft to be created. Thegreater draft can decrease problems suchas, difficult start-ups, smoking out the door,and dirty glass.2) In order to position the flue liner, the existingrain cap must be removed from yourchimney system. In most cases the fluedamper should also be removed to allowpassage of the liner.3) In most cases opening the existing sparkscreens fully should give enough room forthe insert installation. If it does not, removeand store.<strong>Installation</strong> Into AMasonry <strong>Fireplace</strong>The insert must be installed as per the requirementsof your local inspection authority. Threemethods of flue connection are acceptable inmost areas in the US, however a full flue lineris required in Canada.1) Positive flue connection, where a largeblocking plate and a short connector pipeis used.2) Direct flue connection, where a smallerblocking plate and a connector pipe to thefirst flue liner tile is used.3) Full flue liner, where a stainless steel rigidor flexible liner pipe is routed from the insertoutlet collar to the top of the chimney.<strong>Regency</strong> highly recommends the use of a fullliner as the safest installation and provides themost optimum performance. Your retailer shouldbe able to help you decide which system wouldbe the best for your application.3a) Full Flue Liner(No Cleanout Required)Note: A clean-out door is sometimesrequired, by your inspector, to beinstalled when either the Positive flueconnection or Direct flue connectionmethod is used.The use of one of the connection methods listedon this page not only increases the safety of yourinsert by directing the hot gases up the flue, butwill also help increase the unit's efficiency anddecrease creosote deposits in the chimney.When a connected flue or liner is in use, theinsert is able to “breathe” better by allowing agreater draft to be created. The greater draft candecrease problems such as, difficult start-ups,smoking out the door, and dirty glass.4) If the floor of your fireplace is below thelevel of the fireplace opening, adjust theinsert's levelling bolts to accommodate thedifference. When additional shimming isrequired, use non-combustible masonry orsteel shims.5) Measure approximately the alignment ofthe flue liner with the position of the smokeoutlet hole on the insert to check for possibleoffset. If an offset is required, use aproper stainless steel unit available with thechimney liner.6) Once the above items have been checked,slide your insert into position after first positioningthe flue liner and offset if required.(Re-install raincap at completion of installation).NOTE: Refer to "Requirements for InstallingSolid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built <strong>Fireplace</strong>s"section for the requirementsfor installing solid fuel inserts in factorybuilt fireplaces.<strong>Regency</strong> I2400MFlush Inserts9
installationStep-by-step <strong>Installation</strong>Of The Faceplate And TrimPrior to sliding your insert into its final positionand attaching the connector or liner pipe, thefaceplate side panel plates must be installedas follows:1) Slide the spring nuts (supplied) over theslots in the insert’s side convection panels(the spring nuts may need to be squeezedwith a pair of pliers first, to help them stayin position).2) Screw the side faceplate panels, (item A inthe diagram) one to each side.Note: It may be easier to install the insulation,faceplate top and faceplate trimwith the unit pulled slightly away fromthe fireplace face. If this is done, bevery careful not to disturb the connectorwhen shifting the unit to itsfinal position.Now that your insert is installed, check oncemore that all the clearances from the unit toany combustible materials are correct as listedearlier.3) Using the top panel (item B in the diagram)as a gauge, check that the side panels arewithin approximately 1/4" of the overall width.If the difference is greater than this, usethe supplied washers to attain the requiredwidth.4) The unit may now be slid into final positionand attached to the connection system.5) Once connection is made, the insulation stripsshould be installed between the insert faceplatesand the fireplace face. The faceplatetop may now be installed (with insulationstrip behind) by aligning its brackets with thetop flange on the side shields and the angleiron bar on the insert top. The faceplate trimmay be installed to the edgeof the faceplate at this time.Faceplate Assembly10<strong>Regency</strong> I2400M

Your hearth extension must bemade from a non-combustible material.Firebrick Assemblyensure the tube will not move when the unitis burning. Though there are four air tubesin the medium units.2) Slide the left baffle over the air tubes fromthe front and then push it to the back.Draft ControlBefore establishing your first fire, it is importantthat your fully understand the operation of youdraft control. The draft rod is on the left side ofthe Inserts and it controls the intensity of the fireby increasing or decreasing the amount of airallowed into the firebox. To increase your draft- pull open, and to decrease - push closed.Firebrick is included to extend the life of yourinsert and radiate heat more evenly. Check tosee that all firebricks are in their correct positionsand have not become misaligned duringshipping.Side ViewPull OpenPush Closed3) Tilt the left baffle up on top of the side channeland it will leave enough room to positionthe right baffle in the same manner as Step1) above. Then reposition the left baffle flaton the air tubes.As well as a primary and glass wash air system,the unit has a full secondary draft system thatallows air to the induction ports at the top of thefirebox, just below the flue baffle.WARNING: To build a fire in ignorance or todisregard the informa tion contained in thissection can cause serious permanent damageto the unit and void your warranty.Screen DoorFront ViewHook screen to the inside on the right sideof the firebox door opening. Lock in place byturning handle.Flue Baffle &Secondary Air Tube<strong>Installation</strong>The flue baffle system located in the upper areaof the firebox is removable to make cleaning yourchimney system easier. The baffles must beinstalled prior to your first fire. Smoke spillageand draft problems may occur if thebaffles are improperly positioned. Checkthe position of the baffles on a regular basis asthey can be dislodged if too much fuel is forcedinto the firebox.The unit arrives with the 2 baffle plates on thefloor of the firebox.1) If all 4 air tubes are installed continue onto Step 2), if not, follow the instructionsbelow. Install the air tube into the holes inthe side channels. The notch goes on theright hand side with the air holes facingtoward the door.

Operating instructionsinstallationSome SafetyGuidelines1) Never use gasoline, gasoline type lanternfuels, kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, orsimilar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a firein your heater. Keep all such liquids wellaway from the heater while it is in use.2) Keep the door closed during operation andmaintain all seals in good condition.3) Do not burn large quantities of paper in yourinsert.4) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smokespillage as this may set off a false alarm.5) Do not overfire your insert. If the insert beginto glow, you are overfiring. Stop addingfuel and close the draft control. Overfiringcan cause extensive damage to your stoveincluding warpage and premature steel corrosion.Overfiring will void your warranty.6) Do not permit creosote or soot buildup in thechimney system. Check and clean chimneyat regular intervals.7) Your <strong>Regency</strong> Insert can be very hot. Youmay be seriously burned if you touch theinsert while it is operating. Warn childrenof the burn hazard.8) The insert consumes air while operating,provide adequate ventilation with an airduct or open a window while the insert is inuse.9) Do not use grates, irons or other methodsfor supporting fuel. Burn directly on thebricks.10) Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15seconds prior to slowly opening the doorwhen refuelling the fire.11) Do not connect your unit to any air distributionduct.12) Your insert should burn dry, standard firewoodonly. The use of “mill ends” is discouragedas this fuel can easily overheat yourinsert. Evidence of excessive overheatingwill void your warranty. As well, a large portionof sawmill waste is chemically treatedlumber, which is illegal to burn in many areas.Chemically treated fire logs also must notbe burned in your insert.13) Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet fromyour unit.14) Do not burn salt drift wood as it will corrodeyour unit and void the warranty.15) Do not operate the unit if the glass is brokenor missing. Do not operate the unit if thegasketing is worn out and not sealing thedoor or the glass.It is very important to carefully maintain yourinsert, including burning seasoned wood andmaintaining a clean stove and chimney system.Have the chimney cleaned before the burningseason and as necessary during the season, ascreosote deposits may build up rapidly. Movingparts of your insert require no lubrication.WARNING<strong>Fireplace</strong> Stoves equipped with doorsshould be operated only with doors fullyopen or doors fully closed. If doors areleft partly open, gas and flame may bedrawn out of the fireplace stove opening,creating risks from both fire andsmoke.When operated with doors open themanufacturer supplied screen mustbe used.First FireWhen your installation is completed and inspected,you are ready for your first fire.1) Open draft control fully.2) Open firebox door and build a small fire usingpaper and dry kindling on the firebrick hearth,wait a few minutes for a good updraft in theflue to establish the fire. Leaving the doorslightly open will help your fire start morerapidly.CAUTION: Never leave unit unattendedif door is left open. Thisprocedure is for fire start-up only,as unit may over-heat if door is leftopen 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 toreach the rear of the firebox prior to closingthe door.4) After about 15 to 20 minutes, when yourwood has begun to burn strongly, adjustyour draft control down to keep the fire at amoderate level.WARNING: Never build a roaringfire in a cold stove. Always warmyour stove up slowly!5) Once a bed of coals has been established,you may adjust the draft control to a lowsetting to operate the unit in its most efficientmode.6) During the first couple of hours, keep thecombustion rate at a moderate level andavoid a large fire until the paint is cured.Only then can you operate the insert at itsmaximum setting, and only after the metalhas been warmed.7) For the first few hours, the insert will give offan odor from the paint. This is to be expectedas the high temperature paint becomes seasoned.Windows and/or doors should be leftopen to provide adequate ventilation whilethis temporary condition exists. Burning theinsert at a very high temperature the first fewtimes may damage the paint. Burn fires ata moderate level the first few days.8) Do not place anything on the insert topduring the curing process. This may resultin damage to your paint finish.<strong>Regency</strong> I2400M13
Operating instructions9) During the first few hours it may be moredifficult to start the fire. As you dry outyour fire brick and your masonry flue (ifapplicable), your draft will increase.10) For those units installed at higher elevationsor into sub-standard masonry fireplaces,drafting problems may occur. Consult anexperienced dealer or mason on methodsof increasing your draft.11) Some cracking and popping noises may beexperienced during the heating up process.These noises will be minimal when your unitreaches temperature.12) Before opening your door to reload, opendraft fully for approximately 10 to 15 secondsuntil fire has been re-established. This willminimize any smoking.13) All fuel burning appliances consume oxygenduring operation. It is important that yousupply a source of fresh air to your unitwhile burning. A slightly opened window issufficient for this purpose.CAUTION: If the body of your unitstarts to glow you are overfiring.Stop loading fuel immediately andclose the draft control until the glowhas completely subsided.14) Green or wet wood is not recommended foryour unit. If you must add wet or green fuel,open the draft control fully until all moisturehas been dispersed by the intense fire.Once all moisture has been removed, thedraft control may be adjusted to maintainthe fire.15) If you have been burning your insert on alow draft, use caution when opening thedoor. After opening the damper, open thedoor a crack, and allow the fire to adjustbefore fully opening the door.16) The controls of your unit should not bealtered to increase firing for any reason.Wood StorageStore wood under cover, such as in a shed, orcovered with a tarp, plastic, tar paper, sheetsof scrap plywood etc., as uncovered wood canabsorb water from rain or snow, delaying theseasoning process.Ash DisposalDuring constant use, ashes should be removedevery few days. Please take care to prevent thebuild-up of ash around the start-up air housinglocated inside the firebox, under the loadingdoor lip.DO NOT ALLOW ASHES TO BUILD UP TOTHE 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 bottomof the firebox. This helps in easier starting anda more uniform burn of your fire.Ashes should be placed in a metal container witha tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashesshould be placed on a noncombustible floor oron the ground, well away from all combustiblematerials, pending final disposal. If the ashesare disposed of by burial in soil or otherwiselocally dispersed, they should be retained in theclosed container until all cinders have thoroughlycooled. Other waste should not be placed in theash container.Fan OperationThe fan is to be operated only with the draftcontrol rod pulled out at least 1/2" from thefully closed position. The fan is not to be operatedwhen the draft control rod is in the closedposition (pushed in). The fully closed position isthe low burn setting.The fan unit must not be turned on until a firehas been burning for at least 30 minutes andthe unit is hot enough. As well, after each fuelloading the fan must be shut off until 30 minuteshas elapsed.To operate fan automatically, push switch onside of fan housing to "Auto" and second switchto either "High" or "Low" for fan speed. Theautomatic temperature sensor will engage theblower when the unit is at temperature and willshut off the blower once the fire has gone outand the unit has cooled to below a useful heatoutput range.To manually operate the fan system, push thefirst switch to "Man" and second switch to either"high" or "Low". This will bypass the sensingdevice and allow full control of the fan. Switchingfrom "Auto" to "<strong>Manual</strong>" or "High" to "Low" maybe done at any time.CreosoteWhen wood is burned slowly, it produces tar andother organic vapors, which form creosote whencombined with moisture. The creosote vaporscondense in the relatively cool chimney flue of aslow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residueaccumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, thiscreosote can make an extremely hot fire.Removal for CleaningRemoval of your insert for cleaning purposesis usually not required if a proper installationhas been done. In the event that removal is required,be sure not to damage any parts neededfor re-installation. In most cases removal andreplacement of the baffle system should allowfull access for cleaning.WARNING: Things to remember in caseof chimney fire:1) Close draft control2) Call the Fire DepartmentWays to Prevent andKeep Unit Free of Creosote1) Burn insert with draft control wide open forabout 45 minutes every morning during burningseason. This helps to prevent creosotedeposits within the heating system.2) Burn insert with draft control wide open forabout 10 - 15 minutes every time you addfresh wood. This allows the wood to achievethe charcoal stage faster and burns up anywood vapors which might otherwise bedeposited within the system.3) Only burn seasoned wood! Do not burnwet or green wood. Seasoned wood thathas been dried at least one year must beused.4) A small hot fire is preferable to a largesmouldering one that can deposit creosotewithin the system.5) Check the chimney at least twice a monthduring the burning season for creosotebuild-up.6) Have chimney system and unit cleanedby competent chimney sweeps twice ayear during the first year of use and atleast once a year thereafter or when asignificant layer of creosote has accumulated(3mm / 1/8" or more) it should beremoved to reduce the risk of a chimneyfire.14<strong>Regency</strong> I2400M
Maintenance OfGold-plated DoorsThe gold electroplated finish on the doors requireslittle maintenance, and need only be cleaned witha damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive materials orchemical cleaners, as they may harm the finishand void the warranty.Door GasketIf the door gasket requires replacement, 7/8"diameter material must be used.
