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) Please read this entire manual before you
install and use your new wood insert. Failure
to follow instructions may result in property
damage, bodily injury or even death. Installand 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 oran 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
SPECIFICATIONS

7) Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel
fireplace liner or metal heat circulator) shallnot be blocked.

Before 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.

8) Means must be provided for removal of theinsert to clean the chimney flue.

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.

"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."

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.

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
fireplace built per ULC S628.
2) The factory-built fireplace must be listed per
UL 127 or ULC S610.
3) Clearances obtained from the masonry fireplace tests are also relevant for installationin factory-built fireplaces.
4) Installation must include a full height listed
chimney liner type HT requirements (2100
degree F.) per UL 1777 (U.S.) or ULC
S635 (Canada). The liner must be securely
attached to the insert flue collar and thechimney top.
5) Means must be provided to prevent room
air passage to the chimney cavity of thefireplace. This may be accomplished bysealing the damper area around the chimney
liner, or sealing the fireplace front.

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.

INSTALLATIONINSTALLING YOUR
INSERTOPTIONAL FLUECONNECTOR KITYour insert is very heavy and will require twoor three people to move it into position. The
insert can be made a little lighter by removing
the cast iron door by opening it and lifting it
off its hinges. Be sure to protect your hearth
extension with a heavy blanket or carpet scrap
during the installation.

The Straight Flue Adaptor (Part #846-504)
shown here, may be used to produce a secureconnection between your flue connector and theinsert collar. Detailed installation instructions areincluded with the kit.

Hearth thickness of 0.5" with k value = 0.84",
r value = 0.6 or greater.

**

A non-combustible mantel may be installed
at a lower height if the framing is made ofmetal studs covered with a non-combustible
board.

**

Max. mantle depth is 10" (254mm).

Thermal floor protection is not required if the unit israised 3.5" minimum (measured from the bottom of
the stove). However, standard ember floor protection is required. It will need to be a non-combustible
material that covers 16" (406 mm) in the US and18" (450 mm) in Canada to the front of the unit and8" (200 mm) to the sides.
If the unit is not raised, thermal floor protection
required is 18" (450 mm) in the US and Canada.
All floor protection must be non-combustible (i.e.,
metals, brick, stone, mineral fiber boards, etc.) Any
organic materials (i.e. plastics, wood paper products, etc.) are combustible and must not be used.
The floor protection specified includes some formof thermal designation such as R-value (thermal
resistance) or k-factor (thermal conductivity).

Clearance diagram for Installations

Minimum Hearth Extension for the front(E) and sides (G) are measured from thefuel door opening.

HOW TO DETERMINE IF ALTERNATEFLOOR PROTECTION MATERIALS ARE ACCEPTABLE
DEFINITIONSThe specified floor protector should be 3/8"
(18mm) thick material with a K - factor of
0.84.
The proposed alternative is 4" (100mm) brickwith a C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8" (3mm) mineralboard with a K-factor of 0.29.
Step (a):Use formula above to convert specification
to R-value.
R = 1/k x T = 1/0.84 x .75 = 0.893.

8

Step (b):Calculate R of proposed system.
4" brick of C = 1.25, therefore
Rbrick = 1/C = 1/1.25 = 0.80
1/8" mineral board of k = 0.29, therefore
Rmin.bd. = 1/0.29 x 0.125 = 0.431
Total R = Rbrick + Rmineral board =0.8 + 0.431 = 1.231.
Step (c):Compare proposed system R of 1.231 to
specified R of 0.893. Since proposed system
R is greater than required, the system is
acceptable.

INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILTFIREPLACEFLUE CONNECTOR
BRACKET
Package 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 the
top of the Insert in the pre-punched holes andthen screwed into the flue liner.
1) Positive Flue
Connection
with Cleanout

2) Direct Flue
Connection
with Cleanout

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

INSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE
The insert must be installed as per the requirements of your local inspection authority. Threemethods of flue connection are acceptable inmost areas in the US, however a full flue liner
is required in Canada.
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.

3a) Full Flue Liner(No Cleanout Required)

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.

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 with thechimney liner.
6) 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).
NOTE: Refer to "Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built Fireplaces" section for the requirements
for installing solid fuel inserts in factorybuilt fireplaces.

OF THE FACEPLATE AND TRIM
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.

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:

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).

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.

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.
4) The unit may now be slid into final position
and attached to the connection system.
5) 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 angleiron bar on the insert top. The faceplate trim
may be installed to the edgeof the faceplate at this time.

to combustibles. Your hearth extension must be
made from a non-combustible material.

ensure the tube will not move when the unit
is burning. Though there are four air tubes
in the medium units.
2) Slide the left baffle over the air tubes fromthe front and then push it to the back.

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
shipping.

3) Tilt the left baffle up on top of the side channel and it will leave enough room to position
the right baffle in the same manner as Step
1) above. Then reposition the left baffle flaton the air tubes.

DRAFT CONTROL
Before establishing your first fire, it is importantthat your fully understand the operation of you
draft control. The draft rod is on the left side of
the Inserts and it controls the intensity of the fireby increasing or decreasing the amount of air
allowed into the firebox. To increase your draft- pull open, and to decrease - push closed.

Pull OpenPush Closed

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 information contained in thissection can cause serious permanent damage to the unit and void your warranty.

FLUE BAFFLE &SECONDARY AIR TUBEINSTALLATION
The flue baffle system located in the upper areaof the firebox is removable to make cleaning yourchimney system easier. The baffles must be
installed prior to your first fire. Smoke spillage and draft problems may occur if thebaffles are improperly positioned. Check
the position of the baffles on a regular basis as
they can be dislodged if too much fuel is forced
into the firebox.
The unit arrives with the 2 baffle plates on thefloor of the firebox.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSSOME 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 begin
to glow, you are overfiring. 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.
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 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 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 chemically treatedlumber, which is illegal to burn in many areas.
Chemically treated fire logs also must not
be burned in your insert.

Regency I2400M

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.

WARNING
Fireplace Stoves equipped with doors
should be operated only with doors fully
open or doors fully closed. If doors areleft partly open, gas and flame may be
drawn out of the fireplace stove opening, creating risks from both fire andsmoke.
When operated with doors open the
manufacturer supplied screen must
be used.

FIRST 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 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 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 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 theinsert at a very high temperature the first few
times may damage 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 resultin damage to your paint finish.

13

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9) During the first few hours it may be moredifficult to start the fire. As you dry out
your fire brick and your masonry flue (ifapplicable), 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.
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 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
starts to glow you are overfiring.
Stop loading fuel immediately andclose the draft control until the 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 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 alow draft, use caution when opening thedoor. After opening the damper, open thedoor a crack, and allow the fire to adjust
before fully opening the door.
16) The controls of your unit should not bealtered to increase firing for any reason.

WOOD STORAGE
Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or
covered with a tarp, plastic, tar paper, sheetsof scrap plywood etc., as uncovered wood canabsorb water from rain or snow, delaying theseasoning process.

ASH DISPOSAL

CREOSOTE

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.

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, thiscreosote can make an extremely hot fire.

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 theash container.

FAN OPERATION
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 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 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
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.
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. Switchingfrom "Auto" to "Manual" or "High" to "Low" maybe done at any time.

Removal for Cleaning
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

Ways to Prevent and
Keep Unit Free of Creosote
1) Burn insert with draft control wide open forabout 45 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! Do not burnwet or green wood. Seasoned wood thathas been dried at least one year must be
used.
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
by competent chimney sweeps twice ayear during the first year of use and at
least once a year thereafter or when asignificant layer of creosote has accumulated (3mm / 1/8" or more) it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney
fire.

MAINTENANCE
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 REPLACEMENTDOOR 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
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.

Your Regency Insert is supplied with 5 mm.
Neoceram ceramic glass (Part #846-304) thatwill withstand the highest heat that your unit willproduce. 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.

Avoid impact on glass doors suchas striking or slamming shut.
