INSTALLATIONRESIDENTIALINSTALLATION1) Please read this entire manual before youinstall and use your new wood fi re. Failureto follow instructions may result in propertydamage, bodily injury or even death. Beaware that local Codes and Regulations mayoverride some items in this manual. Checkwith your local inspector.2) THE APPLIANCE AND FLUE-SYSTEMSHALL BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCEWITH AS/NZS 2918:2001 AND THE AP-PROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS OF THERELEVANT BUILDING CODE OR CODES.APPLIANCES INSTALLED IN ACCORD-ANCE WITH THIS STANDARD SHALLCOMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OFAS/NZS 4013 WHERE REQUIRED BY THEREGULATORY AUTHORITY.ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCETHAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED INWRITING BY THE TESTING AUTHORITYIS CONSIDERED TO BE IN BREACH OFTHE APPROVAL GRANTED FOR COMPLI-ANCE WITH AS/NZS 4013.CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE ORFLUE-SYSTEM COMPONENTS FROMDIFFERENT SOURCES OR MODIFYINGTHE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATION OFCOMPONENTS MAY RESULT IN HAZ-ARDOUS CONDITIONS. WHERE SUCHACTION IS CONSIDERED, THE MANU-FACTURER SHOULD BE CONSULTEDIN THE FIRST INSTANCE.3) Select a position for your Regency Stove.Consult the minimum clearance chart foryour model and set the stove in place. Forclose clearance installation use listed doublewall connector systems.4) To insure vertical alignment, suspend a plumbbob from the ceiling over the exact centerof your stove fl ue and mark a spot on theceiling to indicate the center of the chimney.5) Check that the area above the ceiling is clearfor cutting. Re-confi rm the clearance fromthe stove to combustibles to insure that theyare within the prescribed limits.6) Mark the location of the pedestal base on thefl oor, then move the stove aside and markthe position of the fl oor protector.7) Install chimney according to chimney manufacturersinstructions. The performance ofyour wood fi re is governed to a very largepart by the chimney system. Too short achimney can cause diffi cult start-up, dirtyglass, backsmoking when door is open, andeven reduced heat output. Too tall a chimneymay prompt excessive draft which can resultin very short burn times and excessiveheat output.8) The fl oor protector must be of non-combustiblematerial. Refer to page 7 for fl oorprotector clearances.9) When the fl oor protection is complete, positionthe stove with the fl ue collar centeredunder the installed chimney.10) In seismically active areas, Regency recommendsthat your unit is secured to the fl oorby using the bolt down holes inside thepedestal.11) Do not connect this unit to a chimneyserving another appliance.SAFETY GUIDELINESAND WARNINGS1) Never use petrol, petrol type lantern fuels,kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or similarliquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fi re in yourheater. Keep all such liquids well away fromthe heater while it is in use.2) Keep the door closed during operation andmaintain all seals in good condition.3) Do not burn any quantities of paper, garbage,and never burn fl ammable fl uids such aspetrol, naptha or engine oil in your stove.4) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smokespillage as this may set off a false alarm.5) Do not overfire heater. If the chimney connector,fl ue baffl e or the stove top begin toglow, you are overfiring. Stop adding fuel andclose the draft control. Overfi ring can causeextensive damage to your stove includingwarpage and premature steel corrosion.Overfi ring will void your warranty.6) Do not permit creosote or soot build-upin the chimney system. Check and cleanchimney at regular intervals. Failure to doso can result in a serious chimney fi re.7) Your Regency stove can be very hot. Youmay be seriously burned if you touch thestove while it is operating, keep children,clothing and furniture away. Warn childrenof the burn hazard. For safety reasons aguard around the fi re is recommended.8) The stove consumes air while operating,provide adequate ventilation with an airduct or open a window while the stove is inuse.9) Do not connect this unit to a chimney fl ueserving another appliance.10) Do not use grates or andirons or othermethods for supporting fuel. Burn directlyon the base or bricks where supplied.11) Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15seconds prior to slowly opening the doorwhen refuelling the fi re.12) Do not connect your unit to any air distributionduct.13) Your wood fi re should burn dry, standardfi rewood only. The use of cut timber, plywood,“mill ends”, etc. is not allowed as thisfuel can easily overheat your wood fi re.Evidence of excessive overheating will voidyour warranty. As well, a large portion ofsawmill waste is chemically treated timber,which is illegal to burn in many areas. Saltdrift wood and chemically treated fi re logsalso must not be burned in your wood fi re.14) No combustible material should be closerthan the clearances as specified on page7.15) DO NOT OPERATE WITH BROKENGLASS.BRICK & CASTINSTALLATIONInsert the rear cast plate fi rst and then the sideplates ensuring the cut out sections lock in firmly.The bricks can then be placed on the base of thefi rebox between the cast side and rear plates.Firebrick is included to extend the life of yourstove and radiate heat more evenly.6Regency Hume Freestanding Wood Fire

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSOPERATINGINSTRUCTIONSWith your unit now correctly installed and safetyinspected by your local authority, you are nowready to start a fi re. Before establishing yourfi rst fi re, it is important that you fully understandthe operation of your draft control.CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BEMAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMESIN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUC-TIONS.CAUTION: THE USE OF SOME TYPES OFPRESERVATIVE-TREATED WOOD AS A FUELCAN BE HAZARDOUS.WARNING: ANY MODIFICATION OF THE AP-PLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVEDIN WRITING BY THE TESTING AUTHORITYIS CONSIDERED AS BREACHING AS/NZS4013.WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLELIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START ORREKINDLE THE FIRE.WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQ-UIDS OR AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OFTHIS APPLIANCE WHEN IT IS OPERATING.WARNING: DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHINHEATER INSTALLATION CLEARANCES.WARNING: OPEN AIR CONTROL (ANDDAMPER WHEN FITTED) BEFORE OPENINGFIRING DOOR.For safety reasons and in order to avoidover firing of your unit do not burn yourfire with the door open or ajar.AIR SLIDE CONTROLBoth the primary and air wash drafts are controlledby the control rod located on the right sideof the unit (when facing the unit). To increaseyour draft - pull open, and to decrease - pushclosed. All units have a secondary draft systemthat continually allows combustion air to theinduction ports at the top of the fi rebox, justbelow the fl ue baffl e.Push - ClosedPull - OpenWARNING: To build a fire in ignoranceor to disregard the information containedin this section can cause seriouspermanent damage to the unit and voidyour warranty!!FIRST FIREWhen your installation is completed and inspectedyou are ready for your fi rst fi re.1) Open control fully.2) Open fi rebox door and build a small fi re usingpaper and dry kindling on the fi rebrickhearth. Secure door on the fi rebox and waita few minutes for a good updraft in the flue toestablish the fi re. (Leaving the door slightlyopen will help your fi re start more rapidly.)CAUTION: Never leave unit unattendedif door is left open. This procedure is forfire start-up only, as unit may overheatif door is left open for too long.3) With the draft still in the fully open positionadd two or three seasoned logs to your fi re.Form a trench in the ash bed to allow air toreach the rear of the fi rebox prior to closingthe door.4) After about 45 minutes, when your woodhas begun to burn strongly, adjust your draftcontrol down to keep the fi re at a moderatelevel.WARNING: Never build a roaring fire ina cold stove. Always warm your stoveup slowly!5) Once a bed of coals has been establishedon the base of the fi rebox, you may adjustthe draft control to a low setting to operatethe unit at its most efficient mode.6) During the fi rst few fi res, keep the combustionrate at a moderate level and avoid alarge fi re. Only after 5 or 6 such fi res canyou operate the stove at its maximumsetting, and only after the metal has beenwarmed.7) For the fi rst few days, the stove will giveoff an odour from the paint. This is to beexpected as the high temperature paintbecomes seasoned. Windows and/or doorsshould be left open to provide adequateventilation while this temporary conditionexists. Burning the stove at a very hightemperature the first few times may damagethe paint. Burn fi res at a moderate level thefi rst few days.8) Do not place anything on the stove topduring the curing process. This may resultin damage to your paint fi nish.8Regency Hume Freestanding Wood Fire

MAINTENANCE9) During the fi rst few days it may be morediffi cult to start the fi re. As you dry out yourfi rebrick and your masonry fl ue, your draftwill increase.10) For those units installed at higher elevationsor into sub-standard masonry fi replaces,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 fi re 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 issuffi cient for the purpose. If you also havea fi replace in your home, a downdraft maybe created by your Regency Stove causinga draft down your chimney. If this occurs,slightly open a window near your unit.CAUTION: If the body of your unit, flue baffleor any part of the chimney connector startsto glow, you are overfiring. Stop loading fuelimmediately and close the draft control untilthe glow has 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 fi re.Once all moisture has been removed, thedraft control may be adjusted to maintainthe fi re.15) If you have been burning your stove on alow draft, use caution when opening thedoor. After opening the damper, open thedoor a crack, and allow the fi re to adjustbefore fully opening the door.16) The controls of your unit or the air supplypassages should not be altered to increasefi ring for any reason.CREOSOTEWhen wood is burned slowly, it producestar and other organic vapours, which whencombined with moisture, form creosote. Thecreosote vapours condense in the relativelycool chimney fl ue of a slow burning fi re. As aresult, creosote residue accumulates on the fluelining. When ignited, this creosote can resultin an extremely hot fi re.WARNING: Things to remember in caseof a chimney fire:1. Close all draft and damper controls.2. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.Ways to Prevent and Keep UnitFree of Creosote1) Burn stove with the draft control wide openfor about 10-15 minutes every morningduring burning season.2) Burn stove with draft control wide open forabout 10 - 15 minutes every time you applyfresh wood. This allows the wood to achievethe charcoal stage faster and burns up anyunburned gas vapours which might otherwisebe deposited within the system.3) Only burn seasoned wood! Avoid burningwet or green wood. Seasoned wood hasbeen dried at least one year.4) A small hot fi re is preferable to a largesmouldering one that can deposit creosotewithin the system.5) The chimney and chimney connector shouldbe inspected at least once every two monthsduring the heating season to determine is acreosote buildup has occurred.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(3 mm/1/8" or more) it should beremoved to reduce the risk of a chimneyfire.MAINTENANCEIt is very important to carefully maintain yourfi replace stove, including burning seasonedwood and maintaining a clean stove and chimneysystem. Have the chimney cleaned beforethe burning season and as necessary duringthe season, as creosote deposits may build uprapidly. Moving parts of your stove require nolubrication.GLASS MAINTENANCEYour Regency stove is supplied with 5 mmNeoceram ceramic glass that will withstandthe highest heat that your unit will produce. Inthe event that you break your glass by impact,purchase your replacement from an authorizedRegency dealer only, and follow our step-by-stepinstructions for replacement.Allow the stove to cool down before cleaningthe glass, do not clean the glass when it is hot.Do not use abrasive cleaners.DOOR LATCHADJUSTMENTThe door latch may require adjustment as thedoor gasket material compresses over time.Follow the steps below to allow the latch tobe moved closer to the door frame, causing atighter seal;1) Unscrew latching sleeve.2) Remove allen screw.3) Spin door handle clockwise to desired depth.4) Re-install allen screw and latching sleeve.5) Adjust set screw to proper depth to ensurethat the handle does not rotate 360 degrees.17) If you burn the unit too slowly or at too lowa setting your unit will not be operating aseffi ciently as it can. An easy rule of thumbsays that if your glass is clean, then yourfl ue is clean and your exhaust is clean.Burn the stove hot enough to keep yourglass clean and you won't need to cleanyour fl ue as often.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.AllenScrewSet ScrewLatchingSleeveRear View of Door shownRegency Hume Freestanding Wood Fire 9
