5INSTALLATION
Regency Inserts are constructed with the highest quality materials and assembled under strict
quality control procedures that insure years oftrouble free and reliable performance.
It is important that you read this manual thoroughly and fully understand the safe installation and operating procedures. The more
you understand the way your Regency Insert
operates, the more enjoyment you will experience from knowing that your unit is operating
at peak performance.

BEFORE INSTALLING
YOUR INSERT
1) Read all instructions before installing andusing your fireplace insert. Install and use
only in accordance with manufacturer’s
installation and operating instructions.
2) Check your local building codes - Building
Inspection Department. You may requirea permit before installing your insert. Be
aware that local codes and regulations may
override some items in the manual.
WARNING: Careless installation is the
major cause of safety hazard. Check all
local building and safety codes before
installation of unit.
3) Notify your home insurance company thatyou plan to install a fireplace insert or hearth
heater.
4) Your fireplace insert is heavy and requires
two or more people to move it safely. The
insert can be badly damaged by mishandling.
5) If your existing fireplace damper control
will become inaccessible once you haveinstalled your Regency Insert, you should
either remove or secure it in the open position.
6) Inspect your fireplace and chimney prior
to installing your insert to determine that it
is 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 mortar
from your masonry fireplace.
7) Do not connect the insert to a chimneysystem servicing another appliance or an
air distribution duct.
Emissions from burning wood or gas could
contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or otherreproductive harm.

CHIMNEY
SPECIFICATIONSBefore installing, check and clean your chimneysystem thoroughly. If in doubt about its condition, seek professional advice. Your Regency
Insert is designed for installation into a masonry
fireplace that is constructed in accordance withthe requirements of "The Standard for Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliance", N.F.P.A. 211, the National Building
Code of Canada, or the applicable local code
requirements.
The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or,in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the CanadianElectrical code, CSA C22.1.

9) Inserts that project in front of the fireplacemust be supplied with appropriate supportingmeans.
10) Installer must mechanically attach the supplied label to the inside of the firebox of thefireplace into which the insert is installed.
"WARNING: This fireplace has been converted
for use with a wood insert only and cannot be
used for burning wood or solid fuels unless
all original parts have been replaced, and thefireplace re-approved by the authority having
jurisdiction."
In order for a solid-fuel insert to be certified
for use in factory-built fireplaces, the above
information must be clearly stated in the installation manual and appropriate markings. Finalapproval is contingent on the authority having
jurisdiction.

Regency Inserts are designed to use either a5.5" (140mm) or 6" (152mm) flue.

Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built
Fireplaces.
1) The insert must be tested and meet therequirements of UL 1482 (U.S.) and or ULC
S628 (Canada) when tested in a masonry

INSTALLATIONLEG OPTION ON H2100
HEARTH HEATERINSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE

The addition of legs to the Hearth Heater does
not alter its certification, it does not become afreestanding woodstove. The H2100 can only
be installed as a Hearth Heater i.e. vented intoa masonry or factory built fireplace.

When referencing installation or connection to masonry fireplaces or chimneys, themasonry construction must or shall be code
complying.

The instructions below apply to the cast legs.
It will be easier to attach the legs to the stove
if it is tipped on its back (preferably on a soft
surface to prevent scratching).
1) Thread the bolt and washer through theleg, and then into the nutsert in the baseof the stove and tighten.
2) Level the stove by adjusting the levellingbolts in the bottom of each leg.

The insert must be installed as per the requirements of your local inspection authority. Threemethods of flue connection are acceptable inmost areas, these include:
1) Positive flue connection, where a large
blocking plate and a short connector pipe
is used.
2) Direct flue connection, where a smaller
blocking plate and a connector pipe to thefirst flue liner tile is used.
3) Full flue liner, where a stainless steel rigid
or flexible liner pipe is routed from the insert
outlet collar to the top of the chimney.
Regency highly recommends the use of a full
liner as the safest installation and provides themost optimum performance. Your retailer shouldbe able to help you decide which system would
be the best for your application.

NOTE: Adding thelegs changes theheight of the unit,
make sure you havesufficient clearance(min. 28") for your flueconnection.

FLUE CONNECTOR
BRACKETIn Canada this fireplace insert must be
installed with a continuous chimney linerof either 5.5" or 6" diameter extending
from the fireplace insert to the top of thechimney. The chimney liner must conformto the Class 3 requirements of CAN/ULCS640, Standard for Lining Systems for
New Masonry Chimneys.
Note: A clean-out door is sometimes
required, by your inspector, to beinstalled when either the Positive flueconnection or Direct flue connection
method 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.

INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILTFIREPLACE
1) When installed in a factory built fireplace, afull stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner
is mandatory, for both safety and performance purposes. When a flue or liner is inuse, the insert is able to breathe better by
allowing a greater draft to be created. The
greater draft can decrease problems suchas, difficult start-ups, smoking out the door,
and dirty glass.

1) Positive Flue
Connection
with Cleanout

2) Direct Flue
Connection
with Cleanout

2) In order to position the flue liner, the existing rain cap must be removed from yourchimney system. In most cases the flue
damper should also be removed to allow
passage of the liner.

Package contains: 3 brackets and 6 screws.
3) In most cases opening the existing spark
screens fully should give enough room forthe insert installation. If it does not, remove
and store.

These brackets are to be used to hold the flueliner (not supplied) to the Insert and keep theconnection. The brackets are screwed into the
top of the Insert in the pre-punched holes andthen screwed into the flue liner.

INSTALLATION
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 or
steel shims.
5) Measure approximately the alignment of
the flue liner with the position of the smokeoutlet hole on the insert to check for possible offset. If an offset is required, use aproper stainless steel unit available withthe chimney liner.

FACEPLATE AND TRIM
Prior to sliding your insert into its final position
and attaching the connector or liner pipe, thefaceplate side panel plates must be installed
as follows:A) H2100M and I3100L Insert
1) Slide the spring nuts (supplied) over theslots in the insert’s side convection panels(the spring nuts may need to be squeezed
with a pair of pliers first, to help them stayin position).
2) Screw the side faceplate panels, (item A in
the diagram) one to each side.
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, use
the supplied washers to attain the required
width.

Flush Inserts

B) All units
The unit may now be slid into final position andattached to the connection system.
Once connection is made, the insulation strips
should be installed between the insert faceplates
and the fireplace face. The faceplate top may
now be installed (with insulation strip behind)by aligning its brackets with the top flange on
the side shields and the angle iron bar on theinsert top. The faceplate trim may be installed
to the edge of the faceplate at this time.
Note: It may be easier to install the insulation, faceplate top and faceplate trim
with the unit pulled slightly away fromthe fireplace face. If this is done, bevery careful not to disturb the connector when shifting the unit to its
final position.
Now that your insert is installed, check once
more that all the clearances from the unit to
any combustible materials are correct as listed
earlier.

Hearth Heater6) Once the above items have been checked,
slide your insert into position after first positioning the flue liner and offset if required.
(Re-install raincap at completion of installation).

Please check to ensure that your floor protection
and hearth will meet the standards for clearance
to combustibles. Your hearth extension must be
made from a non-combustible material.

FIREBRICK ASSEMBLY
Firebrick is included to extend the life of yourinsert and radiate heat more evenly. Check to
see that all firebricks are in their correct positions and have not become misaligned during

BRICK FLUE BAFFLE &SECONDARY AIR TUBEINSTALLATION
The flue baffle system located in the upper areaof the firebox is removable to make cleaning
your chimney system easier. The brick baffles
must be installed prior to your first fire. Smoke
spillage and draft problems may occur if thebaffles are improperly positioned. Check theposition of the brick baffles on a regular basis as
they can be dislodged if too much fuel is forced
into the firebox.

3) Important: push both baffle bricks sothey are tight against the side walls.

The Large Insert I3100L is shipped with one of
the secondary air tubes loose inside the firebox.
It needs to be installed after the brick baffle are
installed. Follow the directions below.

Regency Wood Insert & Hearth Heater

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSFIRST FIRE
When 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 using
paper and dry kindling, wait a few minutes
for a good updraft in the flue to establish thefire. Leaving the door slightly open will help
your fire start more rapidly.

CAUTION: Never leave unit unattended 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 toreach the rear of the firebox prior to closing
the door.
4) After about 15 to 20 minutes, when yourwood has begun to burn strongly, adjust
your draft control down to keep the fire at amoderate 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 efficientmode.
6) During the first couple of hours, keep the
combustion rate at a moderate level andavoid a large fire until the paint is cured.
Only then can you operate the insert at its
maximum setting, and only after the metalhas been warmed.
7) For the first few hours, the insert will giveoff an odour from the paint. This is to be
expected as the high temperature paintbecomes seasoned. Windows and/or doors
should be left open to provide adequate
ventilation while this temporary condition
exists. Burning the insert at a very hightemperature the first few times may damage
the paint. Burn fires at a moderate level thefirst few days.
8) Do not place anything on the insert top
during the curing process. This may resultin 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 firebrick and your masonry flue (if applicable),

Regency Wood Insert & Hearth Heater

your draft will increase.
10) For those units installed at higher elevations
or into sub-standard masonry fireplaces,
drafting problems may occur. Consult anexperienced dealer or mason on methodsof increasing your draft.

to either "High" or "Low" for fan speed. The
automatic temperature sensor will engage theblower 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.

11) Some cracking and popping noises may be
experienced during the heating up process.
These noises will be minimal when your unit
reaches temperature.

To manually operate the fan system, push thefirst 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.

12) Before opening your door to reload, open
draft fully for approximately 10 to 15 seconds
until fire 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
sufficient for this purpose.

CAUTION: If the body of your unit
(or in the H2100M flue baffle) starts
to glow you are overfiring. Stoploading fuel immediately and closethe draft control until the glow hascompletely 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 moisture
has 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 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 thefully closed position. The fan is not to be
operated when the draft control rod is in theclosed 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 andthe unit is hot enough. As well, after each fuelloading the fan must be shut off until 30 minutes
has elapsed.
To operate fan automatically, push switch onside of fan housing to "Auto" and second switch

ASH DISPOSAL
During constant use, ashes should be removed
every few days. Please take care to prevent thebuild-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 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 ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible floor oron 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 theclosed container until all cinders have thoroughlycooled. Other waste should not be placed in
the ash container.

SOME SAFETY
GUIDELINES
1) Never use gasoline, gasoline type lanternfuels, kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or
similar 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 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 overfiring.
Stop adding fuel and close the draft control.
Overfiring can cause extensive damage toyour stove including warpage and prematuresteel corrosion. Overfiring will void your13

MAINTENANCE
warranty.
6) Do not permit creosote or soot buildup in thechimney system. Check and clean chimney
at regular intervals.
7) Your Regency Insert can be very hot. You
may be seriously burned if you touch theinsert while it is operating. Warn children of
the burn hazard.
8) The insert consumes air while operating,provide adequate ventilation with an airduct or open a window while the insert isin use.
9) Do not use grates, irons or other methods
for supporting fuel. Burn directly on the
bricks.
10) Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15
seconds prior to slowly opening the door
when refuelling the fire.
11) Do not connect your unit to any air distribution duct.
12) Your insert should burn dry, standard firewood only. The use of “mill ends” is discouraged as this fuel can easily overheat yourinsert. Evidence of excessive overheating
will void your warranty. As well, a large
portion of sawmill waste is chemicallytreated lumber, which is illegal to burn inmany areas. Chemically treated fire logs
also must not be 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 corrode
your unit and void the warranty.
15) Do not operate the unit if the glass is broken
or 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, as
creosote deposits may build up rapidly. Moving
parts of your insert require no lubrication.

CREOSOTE
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar andother organic vapors, which form creosote whencombined with moisture. The creosote vapors
condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of aslow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited,14

this creosote can make an extremely hot fire.

Removal for Cleaning etc.
Removal of your insert for cleaning purposes
is usually not required if a proper installation
has been done. In the event that removal is required, be sure not to damage any parts needed
for re-installation. In most cases removal andreplacement of the baffle system should allow
full access for cleaning.

WARNING: Things to remember in caseof chimney fire:
1) Close draft control
2) Call the Fire Department

from your local Regency dealer.

DOOR LATCH
ADJUSTMENT
The door latch may require adjustment as thedoor gasket material compresses after a few
fires. Removal of the spacer washer, shownin the diagram below, will allow the latch to
be moved closer to the door frame, causing
a tighter seal. Remove and replace the nuts,
washer as shown.

Ways to Prevent and
Keep Unit Free of Creosote
1) Burn insert with draft control wide open forabout 15 minutes every morning during burning season. This helps to prevent creosote
deposits within the heating system.
2) Burn insert with draft control wide open forabout 10 - 15 minutes every time you add
fresh wood. This allows the wood to achieve
the charcoal stage faster and burns up any
wood vapors which might otherwise bedeposited 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 fire is preferable to a large
smouldering one that can deposit creosote
within the system.
5) Check the chimney at least twice a month
during the burning season for creosotebuild-up.
6) Have chimney system and unit cleaned bycompetent chimney sweeps twice a year
during the first year of use and at least oncea year thereafter or when needed.

MAINTENANCE OF
GOLD-PLATED DOORSThe gold electroplated finish on the doors
requires little maintenance, and need only becleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive
materials or chemical cleaners, as they may
harm the finish and void the warranty.

GLASS CLEANING
Only clean your glass window when it is cool.
Your local retailer can supply you with special
glass cleaner if plain water and a soft cloth does
not remove all deposits.

GLASS
REPLACEMENTYour Regency Insert is supplied with 5 mm.
Neoceram ceramic glass that will withstandthe highest heat that your unit will produce. In
the event that you break your glass by impact- purchase your replacement from an authorized
Regency dealer only, and follow our step-by-step
instructions.

GLASS REMOVAL
Allow the stove to cool before removing or replacing glass. Remove the door from the insert andremove the glass retainer. Use caution whenremoving broken glass to prevent injury.
When placing the replacement glass in thedoor, make sure that the glass gasketing will
properly seal your unit. Replace the retainer
and tighten securely, but do not wrench downon the glass as this may cause breakage. Do
not substitute materials. If your glass door does
break, do not continue to use your unit until it
has been replaced.

DOOR GASKET
If the door gasket requires replacement, 7/8"
diameter material must be used. A proper hightemperature gasket adhesive is required. A
gasket repair kit, Part # 846-570 is available
