quality materials and assembled under strict quality
control procedures that ensure years of trouble freeand reliable performance.

CHIMNEY
SPECIFICATIONS

It is important that you read this manual thoroughly
and fully understand the installation and operatingprocedures. Failure to follow instructions may resultin property damage, bodily injury or even death. The
more you understand the way your Regency Insert
operates, the more enjoyment you will experiencefrom knowing that your unit is operating at peak
performance.

Before installing, check and clean your chimneysystem thoroughly. If in doubt about its condition,
seek professional advice. Your Regency Insert isdesigned for installation into a masonry fireplacethat is constructed in accordance with the 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 theapplicable local code requirements.

BEFORE INSTALLING
YOUR INSERTThe appliance, when installed, must be electricallygrounded in accordance with local codes or, in theabsence of local codes, with the National ElectricalCode, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electricalcode, CSA C22.1.

Note: The CI1200 does not include a blower andone cannot be added to this appliance. If a blower
is required, you must purchase the CI1250 whichcomes with a standard blower. The CI1250 has
an increased height to accommodate the blower.

Regency Inserts are designed to use either a 5.5"
or 6" (152mm) flue.

1) Read all instructions before installing and using your fireplace insert. Install and use onlyin accordance with manufacturer’s installationand 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 installationof unit.
3) Notify your home insurance company that you
plan to install a fireplace insert.
4) Your fireplace insert is heavy and requires two
or more people to move it safely. The insert andsurrounding structure can be badly damagedby mishandling.
5) If your existing fireplace damper control will
become inaccessible once you have installed
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 freefrom cracks, loose mortar or other signs ofdamage. If repairs are required, they should
be completed before installing your insert. Do
not remove bricks or mortar from your masonry
fireplace.

This insert must be connected to a code-approved
masonry chimney or listed factory-built fireplacechimney with a direct flue connector into the firstchimney liner section.

Requirements for Installing
Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built
Fireplaces.

6) Alteration of the fireplace in any manner is not
permitted with the following exceptions;a. external trim pieces which do not affect theoperation of the fireplace may be removed
providing they can be stored on or within
the fireplace for re-assembly if the insert isremoved.
b. the chimney damper may be removed to
install the chimney liner.
7) Circulating air chambers (i.e. in a steel fireplace liner or metal heat circulator) shall not
be blocked.
8) Means must be provided for removal of theinsert to clean the chimney flue.
9) Inserts that project in front of the fireplace mustbe supplied with appropriate supporting means.
10) Installer must mechanically attach the suppliedlabel to the inside of the firebox of the fireplace
into which the insert is installed.
"WARNING: This fireplace has been
converted for use with a wood insert only andcannot be used for burning wood or solid fuels
unless all original parts have been replaced,
and the fireplace re-approved by the authority
having jurisdiction."

1) The insert must be tested and meet the requirements 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 fireplacetests are also relevant for installation in factorybuilt 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 attachedto the insert flue collar and the chimney top.
5) Means must be provided to prevent room air
passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace.
This may be accomplished by sealing thedamper area around the chimney liner, or
sealing the fireplace front.

Please check to ensure that your floor protection
and hearth will meet the standards for clearance to
combustibles. Your hearth extension must be madefrom a non-combustible material.
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 non-combustible
material that covers 16" (406mm) in the US and18" (450mm) in Canada to the front of the unit
and 8" (200mm)in Canada, 6" (152mm)in the US

HOW TO DETERMINE IF ALTERNATEFLOOR PROTECTION MATERIALS ARE ACCEPTABLE
The specified floor protector should be 3/8" (18mm)
thick material with a K - factor of 0.84.
The proposed alternative is 4" (100mm) brick witha C-factor of 1.25 over 1/8" (3mm) mineral board
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.

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 isgreater than required, the system is acceptable.

INSTALLATIONINSTALLING YOUR INSERTSTOP! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
CAST COMPONENTS ARE VERY FRAGILE.
USE EXTREME CARE WHEN HANDLING.
Your insert is very heavy and will require two or three people to moveit into position.
When handling cast parts, please handle with care as they can be damaged.
1) Open door to a 45° angle
2) Holding door firmly from top and bottom - lift door up and off to remove.

3) Lift the unit up onto the Hearth and slide into the fireplace opening. Be sure
to leave the unit out at least 3 to 4 inches in order to make the necessary
flue connections and to install the fan and faceplate.
Be sure to protect your hearth extension during the installation, ie.
with a heavy blanket.
NOTE: You will be required to purchase either the standard or offset 6" diameter (152mm) flue adaptor that is best suited for the specific installation.
List of Tools needed;- Pull Rod (included with insert)- 1/2” socket / ratchet- 3/8 open face wrench
4) Install flex liner into existing chimney as per liner manufacturer’s specifications. See diagram 1.

NOTE: Door is heavy.
5) Install the required flue adaptor onto the end of the flex liner. Secure theadaptor using 3 screws - 1 on the front, left and right side as shown indiagram 2.
Alignment of the flue adaptor can be critical during the install, it is recommended that the flex liner be left as compressed as possible. Before
inserting the unit the adaptor should hang, when level, slightly above therequired height.

NOTE: For Masonry installation make sure that the firebox is level withthe hearth using non-combustible materials and no more than 1/2 to 1
inch of the levelling bolt.

INSTALLATION
6) Install the unit by first setting the rear of the unit into the fireplace. See
diagram 3. Ensure that the unit is centered in the existing fireplace
and lined up with the flue adaptor.

10) Ensure that the unit is still level.
11) To complete the installation and to ensure a secure fit and connection of
the flue adaptor to the insert, it is essential that the two bolts, flat washers and lock washers (supplied with packaged manual) be installed andtightened using a 1/2" socket as shown in diagram 6. This prevents thepossibility of creosote drip and exhaust gas leakage.

Diagram 3
7) Slide the unit back until the flue adaptor is slightly engaged.
8) At this point it is recommended to level the unit and ensure that the levelingbolts rest on the surface of the fireplace. This will keep the adaptor frombinding as the unit is slid into position.
9) Insert the provided pull rod through the hole in the top center of the unit.
Secure the threaded end into the flue adaptor as shown in diagram 4. Whilesliding the unit into place pull on the rod to ensure that the flue adaptor isproperly engaged. See diagram 5.

INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE
When referencing installation or connection tomasonry fireplaces or chimneys, the masonry
construction must or shall be code complying.

The insert must be installed as per the requirementsof your local inspection authority. Three methodsof flue connection are acceptable in most 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 the first 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 the most
optimum performance. Your retailer should be able
to help you decide which system would be the bestfor your application.

In Canada this fireplace insert must be installed with a continuous chimney liner of 5.5"
or 6" diameter extending from the fireplace
insert to the top of the chimney. The chimney
liner must conform to the Class 3 requirements of CAN/ULC-S635 or CAN/ULC-S640,
Standard for Lining Systems for New Masonry
Chimneys.

Note: A clean-out door is sometimes required,by your inspector, to be installed wheneither the Positive flue connection or
Direct flue connection method is used.

2) Direct Flue
Connection
with Cleanout5) Measure approximately the alignment of theflue liner with the position of the smoke outlet
hole on the insert to check for possible offset. If
an offset is required, use the appropriate offset
adaptor in your installation.

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, but will
also help increase the unit's efficiency and decrease
creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected flue or liner is in use, the insert
is able to “breathe” better by allowing a greater
draft to be created. The greater draft can decrease
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, a fullstainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner is mandatory, for both safety and performance purposes.
When a flue or liner is in use, the insert is able
to breathe better by allowing a greater draft tobe created. The greater draft can decrease
problems such as, difficult start-ups, smoking
out the door, and dirty glass.

1) Positive Flue
Connection
with Cleanout

4) If the floor of your fireplace is below the levelof the fireplace opening, adjust the insert'slevelling bolts to accommodate the difference.
When additional shimming is required, use
non-combustible masonry or steel shims.

6) Once the above items have been checked, slide
your insert into position after first positioning
and securing the flue liner to the offset adaptor.
Attach the rod to the adaptor and slide theadaptor onto the unit as the unit is slid into
position. Ensure a positive connection.
Secure the adaptor to the unit by using 2 bolts,
flat washers, lock washers and one screw inthe front.
Re-install raincap at completion of installation.

2) In order to position the flue liner, the existingrain cap must be removed from your chimneysystem. 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 for the insert

DRAFT CONTROLBRICK 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 brick baffles must be
installed prior to your first fire. Smoke spillage
and draft problems may occur if the baffles
are improperly positioned. Check the position of
the brick baffles on a regular basis as they can be
dislodged if too much fuel is forced into the firebox.

Before establishing your first fire, it is important thatyou fully understand the operation of draft control.

Side View
3) Tilt the left baffle brick up on top of the sidechannel and it will leave enough room to position the right baffle brick in the same manneras Step 1) above. Then reposition the left baffle
brick flat on the air tube.

Left - Open

Front View
4) Important: push both baffle bricks so they
are tight against the side walls and to theback.

1) If the two air tubes are installed continue on
to Step 2), if not, follow the instructions below.
Install the air tube into the holes in the sidechannels. The notch goes on the right handside with the air holes facing toward the door.
Slide the tube into the left hand side, as far as
possible and then bring it back into the hole on
the right hand side until it locks into position.
If the tube will not slide in easily simply use apair of vise grips or pliers and tap it into placewith a hammer. A tighter fit will ensure the tube
will not move when the unit is burning.
2) Slide the left baffle brick over the front air tube
and then slide it back over the rear air tube.

Right - Closed

The draft control rod is on the left side of the Insert
and it controls the intensity of the fire by increasingor decreasing the amount of air allowed into thefirebox. To increase the draft, slide the rod to the left
and to decrease the draft, slide the rod to the right.
As well as a primary and glass wash air system, theunit has a full secondary draft system that allows
air to the induction ports at the top of the firebox,
just below the flue baffle.

Note: When getting the chimney cleaned, remove the baffle bricks for access to theflue, then replace them when cleaning iscompleted.

FIREBRICK ASSEMBLY
Firebrick is included to extend the life of your insert
and radiate heat more evenly. Check to see that
all firebricks are in their correct positions and havenot become misaligned during shipping.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSWARNING: 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.

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, wait a few minutes fora good updraft in the flue to establish the fire.
Leaving the door slightly open will help yourfire start more rapidly.

CAUTION: Never leave unit unattended
if door is left open. This procedure is forfire 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. Forma trench in the ash bed to allow air to reach therear of the firebox prior to closing the door.
4) After about 15 to 20 minutes, when your woodhas begun to burn strongly, adjust your draft
control down to keep the fire at a moderatelevel.

WARNING: Never build a roaring fire in acold 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 tooperate the unit in its most efficient mode.

10) For those units installed at higher elevations orinto sub-standard masonry fireplaces, drafting
problems may occur. Consult an experienced
dealer or mason on methods of increasing yourdraft.
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 thispurpose.

CAUTION: If the body of your unit starts
to glow you are overfiring. Stop loading
fuel immediately and close 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 allmoisture 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, andallow the fire to adjust before fully opening thedoor.
16) The controls of your unit should not be altered
to increase firing for any reason.

6) During the first couple of hours, keep the combustion rate at a moderate level and avoid alarge fire until the paint is cured. Only then can
you operate the insert at its maximum setting,and only after the metal has been warmed.
7) For the first few hours, the insert will give off anodour from the paint. This is to be expected as
the high temperature paint becomes seasoned.
Windows and/or doors should be left open toprovide adequate ventilation while this temporary condition exists. Burning the insert at avery high temperature the first few times may
damage the paint. Burn fires at a moderatelevel 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 brickand your masonry flue (if applicable), your draft
will increase.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSFAN OPERATIONCORD REVERSAL(CS1250 ONLY)
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 must not be turned on until a fire has been burning for at least 30
minutes. Also note it is recommended that the fan be turned off before eachfuel loading and again wait for 30 minutes before the fan is turned on again.
This is too allow the stove to reach it's optimum temperature.

The fan cord comes out from the left hand side of the unit. if it is necessary
to have the cord coming from the right side - follow these steps:
1) Remove the lower surround faceplate section - by removing 2 bolts.
2) Feed the cord along the bottom of the inside of the casting as shown below.

To operate fan automatically, push switch on the right side of fan housing to"Auto" and second switch, on the left to either "High" or "Low" for fan speed.
The automatic temperature sensor will engage the blower when the unit is attemperature and will shut off the blower once the fire has gone out and theunit 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSASH 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.
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 thefirebox. This helps in easier starting and a more
uniform burn of your fire.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with atight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes shouldbe placed on a noncombustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposedof 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
or chemicals to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in yourinsert. Keep all such liquids well away from theheater while it is in use.
2) Never use alternate fuels such as charcoal
that have the possibility of generating carbon
monoxide.

Overfiring can cause extensive damage to yourstove including warpage and premature steel
corrosion. Overfiring will void your warranty.
8) Do not permit creosote or soot buildup in thechimney system. Check and clean chimney atregular intervals.
9) Your Regency Insert can be very hot. You
may be seriously burned if you touch the insert
while it is operating. Warn children of the burnhazard. Keep furniture and clothing away.
10) The insert consumes air while operating, provide adequate ventilation with an air duct oropen a window while the insert is in use.
11) Do not use grates, irons or other methods forsupporting fuel. Burn directly on the bricks.
12) Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15 seconds
prior to slowly opening the door when refuellingthe fire.
13) Do not connect your unit to any air distribution
duct.
14) Your insert should burn dry, standard firewood
only. The use of “mill ends” is discouraged as
this fuel can easily overheat your insert. Evidence of excessive overheating will void yourwarranty. As well, a large portion of sawmill
waste is chemically treated lumber, which is illegal to burn in many areas. Chemically treatedfire logs also must not be burned in your insert.
15) Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet fromyour unit.
16) Do not burn salt drift wood as it will corrode
your unit and void the warranty.

3) Keep the door closed during operation andmaintain all seals in good condition.

17) Do not strike or slam the glass door shut as
this may cause the glass to break.

4) Do not burn large quantities of paper in yourinsert.

18) Do not operate the unit if the glass is broken or
missing. Do not operate the unit if the gasketing is worn out and not sealing the door or theglass.

5) Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids.
6) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
7) 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.

22

It is very important to carefully maintain your insert,
including burning seasoned wood and maintaining a clean stove and chimney system. Have thechimney cleaned before the burning season and asnecessary 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, thiscreosote can make an extremely hot fire.

Removal for Cleaning etc.
Removal of your insert for cleaning purposes isusually 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 and replacement of thebaffle 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 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 for about
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 be deposited within thesystem.
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 thesystem.
5) Check the chimney at least twice a month during
the burning season for creosote build-up.
6) Have chimney system and unit cleaned bycompetent chimney sweeps twice a year during
the first year of use and at least once a year
thereafter or when needed.

MAINTENANCE
DOOR GASKETGLASS REPLACEMENT

If the door gasket requires replacement, 7/8" diameter material must be used.
A proper high temperature gasket adhesive is required. A gasket repair kit,
Part # 846-570 is available from your local Regency dealer.

Allow the stove to cool before removing or replacing glass. Remove the door
from the stove and remove the glass retainer. Use caution when removing
broken glass to avoid injury. When placing the replacement glass in the door,
make sure that the glass gasketing will properly seal your unit. Replace theretainer, it should rest on the gasket not the glass, and tighten securely with aglass clips and screws. Do not wrench down on the glass as this may cause
breakage.

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.

Your Regency Insert is supplied with 5mm Neoceram ceramic glass that willwithstand the highest heat that your unit will produce. In the event that you
break your glass by impact- purchase replacement glass (940-366/P) from an
authorized Regency dealer only. Follow the instructions to replace.

TO REMOVE THE FAN

1) Remove handle by undoing the hex head bolt using a 7/16" socket wrench.

1) See next page.

2) Fit new door handle over door latch and secure.

Maintenance: The sealed bearings are lubricated, there is no need tolubricate them further. (Extra lubricant will cause more lint and dust buildup- causing the bearings to prematurely fail).
Regular cleaning and vacuuming of the fan area will add to the life of the
motor.

Assemble handle by:a) Placing lock washer and split lock washer over hex head bolt.
b) Place hex head bolt into handle.
c) Place spacer over hex head bolt threads.
d) Screw handle into door latch.

IMPORTANT:
These fans collect a lot of dust from within your home. Ensure you
maintain these fan motors on a regular basis by vacuuming
the fan blades and housing using a soft brush nozzle.

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