INSTALLATIONRESIDENTIALINSTALLATION
1) Read all instructions before installing your Regency Stove. Install and use only in accordancewith these installation and operating instructions.
Be aware that local Codes and Regulations may
override some items in this manual. Check withyour local inspector.
2) Select a position for your Regency Stove. Consult
the minimum clearance chart for your model andset the stove in place. For close clearance installation use listed double wall connector systems(refer to Combustible Wall Chimney Connector
Pass - Throughs).
3) To insure vertical alignment, suspend a plumbbob from the ceiling over the exact center ofyour stove flue and mark a spot on the ceiling toindicate the center of the chimney.
4) Check that the area above the ceiling is clear for
cutting. Re-confirm the clearance from the stove
to combustibles to insure that they are within theprescribed limits.
5) Install chimney according to chimney manufacturers instructions. The performance of yourwoodstove is governed to a very large part by thechimney system. Too short a chimney can cause
difficult start-up, dirty glass, backsmoking whendoor is open, and even reduced heat output. Tootall a chimney may prompt excessive draft which
can result in very short burn times and excessive
heat output. The use of an inexpensive flue pipe
damper may be helpful in reducing excessivedraft.

other types of chimneys check with your local building code officials. Do not confuse a chimney with atype “B” Venting System used for gas appliances
as suitable for a wood burning appliance (refer tothe Mobile Home installations section).
6) Mark the location of the unit base on the floor, thenmove the stove aside and mark the position of thefloor protector.
7) The floor protector must be of non-combustible
material and must extend 16" in front of the door
opening and 6" to the sides and rear of the unit.
Some areas may require a larger size floor protector.
See your local inspector. For outside air installationrefer to Mobile Home section.

12) A chimney connector cannot pass through an attic
or roof space, closet or similar concealed space,or a floor, ceiling, wall or partition of combustible
construction. In Canada, if passage through a wall,or partition of combustible construction is desired,
the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365,
Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.
13) Your Regency Wood stove is not to be connected
to any air distribution duct.

Emissions from burning wood or gas could
contain chemicals known to the State ofCalifornia to cause cancer, birth defects orother reproductive harm.

NOTE: In Canada, floor protection must
extend 18" to the front and 8" toeach side of the stove.
8) When the floor protection is complete, position thestove with the flue collar centered under the installed
chimney.

ROOM AIR
IMPORTANT

9) In seismically active areas, Regency recommends
that your unit is secured to the floor by using thebolt down holes inside the pedestal (the same ones
used in Mobile Home installations).

Mobile home installations require the use of outside air.
See mobile home installation page for further details.

10) For residential installations using "C" Vent (singlewall) the chimney connector must be at least 24
gauge steel. Do not use galvanized pipe. For Mobile
Home installation refer to the Mobile Home installation section.
11) Do not connect this unit to a chimney serving anotherappliance unless approved by your local building
authority.

CAUTION: The chimney should be the same sizeas the flue outlet on the stove. The chimney mustbe listed as suitable for use with solid fuels. For

MODULAR INSTALLATION OPTIONSOPTIONS: These can be installed at time of installation or added later:

INSTALLATIONSTEP BY STEPCHIMNEY AND
CONNECTORINSTALLATION
Note: These are a generic set of chimney
installation instructions. Always follow
the manufacturers own instructions
explicitly. Check the Minimum Recommended Flue Heights section (Table 1).
1) With your location already established, cut andframe the roof hole. It is recommended that no
ceiling support member be cut for chimney andsupport box installation. If it is necessary to cut
them, the members must be made structurallysound.

8) To complete your chimney installation, installthe double wall connector pipe from the stove’s
flue collar to the chimney support device.
9) If you are using a horizontal connector, thechimney connector should be as high as possible while still maintaining the 18" (457mm)
minimum distance from the horizontal connector to the ceiling.
10) NOTE: Residential Close Clearance andAlcove installations require a listed double
wall connector from the stove collar to theceiling level.
The diagrams below illustrate one way to installyour unit into a standard ceiling or with a horizontal connector. Check with your dealer or installer
for information on other options available to you.

2) Install radiant shield and support from above.
3) Stack the insulated pipe onto your finish support
to a minimum height of 3 feet above the roof
penetration, or 2 feet above any point within 10
feet measured horizontally. There must be atleast 3 feet of chimney above the roof level.

Note: Increasing the chimney height above
this minimum level will sometimes help
your unit to “breathe” better by allowing
a greater draft to be created. This greater
draft can decrease problems such as,difficult start-ups, back-smoking whendoor is open, and dirty glass. It might besufficient to initially try with the minimum
required height, and then if problems
do arise add additional height at a later
date.

Standard Ceiling Installation

4) Slide the roof flashing over your chimney andseal the flashing to the roof with roofing compound. Secure the flashing to your roof withnails or screws.
5) Place the storm collar over the flashing, sealing
the joints with a silicone caulking.
6) Fasten the raincap with spark screens (if required) to the top of your chimney.
7) For optimum efficiency when installing into amasonry chimney, size accordingly, i.e. the 6"(152mm) flue dia. is 28.28 sq.in.

INSTALLATIONMASONRY
CHIMNEY
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum
standards of the National Fire Protection Association(NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make
sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs ofdeterioration and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned
before the stove is installed and operated. When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonrychimney, special methods are needed.
Ensure that an effective vapour barrier at the location
where the chimney or other component penetrates tothe exterior of the structure.

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

MASONRY
FIREPLACE
There are listed kits available to connect a stove
to a masonry fireplace. The kit is an adapter thatis installed at the location of the fireplace damper.
The existing damper may have to be removed toallow installation.
Ensure that an effective vapour barrier at the location
where the chimney or other component penetrates
to the exterior of the structure.

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

FACTORYBUILT CHIMNEY
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer's installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase and install the ceiling support
package or wall pass-through and "T" section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance
to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer. The chimney must be the required height above the roof or other obstructions for safety and proper
draft operation. The space heater is to be connected to a factory-built chimney conforming to CAN/ULC-S629, Standard for 6500C Factory-Built Chimneys.

Method B: 9" (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Using a 6" (152.4 mm) inside diameter, listed, factory-built Solid-Pak
chimney section with insulation of 1" (25.4 mm) or more, build a wallpass-through with a minimum 9" (228.6 mm) air space between theouter wall of the chimney length and wall combustibles. Use sheet metal
supports fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides, to maintain the9" (228.6 mm) air space. When fastening supports to chimney length,
do not penetrate the chimney liner (the inside wall of the Solid-Pak
chimney). The inner end of the Solid-Pak chimney section shall be
flush with the inside of the masonry chimney flue, and sealed with anon-water soluble refractory cement. Use this cement to also seal tothe brick masonry penetration.

Method C: 6" (152.4 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:Starting with a minimum 24 gage (.024" [.61 mm]) 6" (152.4 mm) metalchimney connector, and a minimum 24 gage ventilated wall thimble
which has two air channels of 1" (25.4 mm) each, construct a wallpass-through. There shall be a minimum 6" (152.4) mm separation
area containing fiberglass insulation, from the outer surface of the wall
thimble to wall combustibles. Support the wall thimble, and cover its
opening with a 24-gage minimum sheet metal support. Maintain the6" (152.4 mm) space. There should also be a support sized to fit andhold the metal chimney connector. See that the supports are fastened
securely to wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners used tosecure the metal chimney connector do not penetrate chimney flue liner.

Method D: 2" (50.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:Start with a solid-pak listed factory built chimney section at least 12"(304 mm) long, with insulation of 1" (25.4 mm) or more, and an inside
diameter of 8" (2 inches [51 mm] larger than the 6" [152.4 mm] chimney
connector). Use this as a pass-through for a minimum 24-gage single
wall steel chimney connector. Keep solid-pak section concentric withand spaced 1" (25.4 mm) off the chimney connector by way of sheet
metal support plates at both ends of chimney section. Cover opening
with and support chimney section on both sides with 24 gage minimum
sheet metal supports. See that the supports are fastened securely towall surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure chimney
flue liner.

RECOMMENDEDHEIGHTS FORWOODSTOVE FLUE
Simple rules on draft. See Table 1.
1) At sea level minimum height is 12' straight.
2) Add the following vertical height to compensatefor:
45 deg. elbow = 1 ft.
90 deg. elbow = 2 ft.
"T"= 3 ft.
Each foot of horizontal run = 2 ft.
3) Add 4% overall for each 1000' above sea level.
Example: a)
1-1/2 ft. of horizontal run
one "T"
Total Addition (at sea level)= 3 ft.
= 3 ft.
= 6 ft.

Example: b)
One 90 deg. elbow

INSTALLATIONMOBILE HOME INSTALLATION

Once you have properly marked the position of your unit and the floor protection as outlined in the Residential Installation items #1 through #8, a supply offresh air has to be supplied to your unit. Cut a minimum 4 inch diameter holethrough your outside wall. Use 4" duct pipe with a mesh grill to pipe fresh air
into the back shield area. Place your unit in position and secure it to the floorusing two lag bolts 3/8" x 3-1/2" through the two holes inside the pedestal
base. It is important to maintain the structural integrity of the Mobile Home
floor, walls and roof when installing your unit.
For Mobile Home units installed in the U.S; the unit must be grounded using
a #8 ground wire with approved termination and star washer.

WARNING:

INSTALLATIONBAFFLE AND TUBE INSTALLATION
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 side channels.
The notch goes on the right hand side with the air holes facing toward thedoor. Slide the tube into the left hand side, as far as possible and thenbring 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 a pair of vise grips or pliers
and tap it into place with a hammer. A tighter fit will ensure the tube will
not move when the unit is burning. Refer to the Mobile Home Installation
section, though there are only two air tubes in the small units.

BRICK INSTALLATION
Firebrick is included to extend the life of your stove and radiate heat more
evenly. Check to see that all firebricks are in their correct positions and havenot become misaligned during shipping.
The "AD" brick in the drawings above is the brick covering the Ash Dump holethat is used when the Ash Drawer Kit is installed.

2) Slide the left baffle brick over the front air tube and then slide it back over
the rear air tube.

INSTALLATIONSIDE PANEL INSTALLATION
One set of side panels needs to be installed on the stove. When installing stainless steel side panels - follow the handling and cleaning instructions below.
Before installation, panels must be handled and cleaned as per instructions noted below:

Stainless Steel Panels• Stainless panels must be inspected for scratches and dimples prior to installation. All claims to be recorded at this time.
Claims for damage after installation will not receive consideration.

• To protect the finish during installation and handling - cotton gloves MUST be worn at all times while handling the panels (even whenremoving protective coating).
• Use a hair dryer to remove the protective coating from the panels.
• Stainless panels will discolor a little during normal operation.
This is normal and should not be considered a defect.

All hand and finger marks MUST be cleaned off with a soft cloth and a stainless steel cleaner. Most stainless steel cleaners leave a film/*residueon the surface of the panels. Use an ammonia based cleaner (ie. glass cleaner) to remove this film before applying heat to the unit.
Failure to do this will result in burn stains on panels which you will be unable to remove. Not protected by product warranty.

1) Bend the metal tab (located in the top front corner of the side panels toa 45° angle - with a pair of pliers.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSOPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS

8) Do not place anything on the stove top during
the curing process. This may result in damage
to your paint finish.

With your unit now correctly installed and safety
inspected by your local authority, you are now readyto start a fire. Before establishing your first fire, it
is important that you fully understand the operationof your draft control.

9) During the first few days it may be more difficult
to start the fire. As you dry out your firebrick andyour masonry flue, your draft will increase.

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!!

FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and inspected
you are ready for your first fire.
1) Open control fully.
2) Open firebox door and build a small fire using
paper and dry kindling. Secure door on thefirebox and wait a few minutes for a good updraft in the flue to establish the fire. (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 firestart-up only, as unit may overheat 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 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 at its most efficient mode.
6) During the first few fires, keep the combustion
rate at a moderate level and avoid a large fire.
Only after 5 or 6 such fires can you operate thestove at its maximum setting, and only after the
metal has been warmed.
7) For the first few days, the stove 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 stove at avery high temperature the first few times may
damage the paint. Burn fires at a moderate levelthe first few days.
2210) 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 the
purpose. If you also have a fireplace in yourhome, a downdraft may be created by yourRegency Stove causing a draft down yourchimney. If this occurs, slightly open a window
near your unit.

CAUTION: If the body of your unit,
flue baffle or any part of the chimney
connector starts to glow, you are overfiring. Stop loading fuel immediately
and close the draft control until theglow has completely subsided.

WARNING
Fireplace Stoves equipped with doors
should be operated only with doors
fully closed. If doors are left partly
open, gas and flame may be drawn outof the fireplace stove opening, creating risks from both fire and smoke.

DRAFT CONTROL
Both the primary and air wash drafts are controlled
by the control rod located on the left side of the unit
(when facing the unit). To increase your draft - pullopen, and to decrease - push closed. All units havea secondary draft system that continually allows
combustion air to the induction ports at the top of
the firebox, just below the flue baffle.

Left - OpenRight - Closed

14) If you have been burning your stove 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.
15) The controls of your unit or the air supply passages should not be altered to increase firing
for any reason.
16) If you burn the unit too slowly or at too low a setting your unit will not be operating as efficiently
as it can. An easy rule of thumb says that if yourglass is clean, then your flue is clean and yourexhaust is clean. Burn the stove hot enoughto keep your glass clean and you won't needto clean your flue as often.
NOTE: If using a smoke detector, select an areain the room where the appliance is locatedthat will not prematurely set off the smoke
detector.

Regency CS1200 Freestanding Wood StoveOPERATING INSTRUCTIONSASH DISPOSAL
During constant use, ashes should be removed
every few days. The Ash Drawer option features
a convenient ash dump for easy removal of ash,refer to the "Modular Options" section.

3) Open the lower surround door by hooking two
fingers in the slot near the left side - pull open
towards the right.

Safety Precautions
1) 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 hotembers.
2) Please take care to prevent the build-up of ash
around the start-up air housing located inside
the stove box, under the loading door lip.
3) Never start a fire if the ash plug and ash drawer
are not in place. This will cause overfiring which
can cause excessive warping of the stove.
Evidence of overfiring can void the warranty
on your stove.
4) The firebricks are brittle and can be damaged
if the plug is replaced carelessly or pieces thatare too large are forced through the hole.

Ash Drawer Operating Guideline1) Only clean ashes out of the stove when thestove is cold. Remove the plug by lifting on thehandle using the tool provided. Push the ashes
down the hole into the ash drawer, the large
pieces can be left in the firebox and burned
during the next fire or removed through thedoor opening.

4) When emptying the ash drawer, make surethe ashes are cold. Ashes should be placedin a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed ona non - combustible floor or on the ground, wellaway from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of byburial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, theyshould be retained in the closed container until
all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste
should not be placed in the ash container.
5) Before putting the ash drawer back into place,make sure the ash plug is back in place.

2) Always leave 1/2 to 1 inch of ash in the bottomof the firebox. This helps in easier starting anda more uniform burn of your fire. Replace ash
plug when ashes have been removed.

MAINTENANCE
SAFETY GUIDELINES ANDWARNINGS

14) Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet fromyour unit. Do not place wood, paper, furniture,drapes or other combustibles near the appliance.

1) Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuels,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or similar liquids
to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in your heater. Keepall such liquids well away from the heater while
it is in use.

15) WARNING: Do not operate without either
the Ash Plug properly seated or the Ash
Dump Plates screwed in place, excessive
temperatures will result.

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

16) Do not operate unit with broken glass.

FAN MAINTENANCE
TO REMOVE THE FAN:
Reverse Steps 5-2 in fan installation section.
Maintenance: The sealed bearings are lubricated, there is no need to lubricate 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.

3) Do not burn any quantities of paper, garbage, andnever burn flammable fluids such as gasoline,
naptha or engine oil in your stove.
4) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
5) Do not overfire heater. If the chimney connector,
flue baffle or the stove top begin to glow, you
are overfiring. Stop adding fuel and close thedraft control. Overfiring can cause extensive
damage to your stove including warpage andpremature steel corrosion. Overfiring will void
your warranty.

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

6) Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in thechimney system. Check and clean chimney atregular intervals. Failure to do so can result ina serious chimney fire.
7) Your Regency stove can be very hot. You may beseriously burned if you touch the stove while it isoperating, keep children, clothing and furnitureaway. Warn children of the burn hazard.
8) The stove consumes air while operating, provide
adequate ventilation with an air duct or open awindow while the stove is in use.
9) Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serv
ing another appliance.
10) Do not use grates or andirons or other methods
for supporting fuel. Burn directly on the bricks.
11) Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15 seconds
prior to slowly opening the door when refuellingthe fire.
12) Do not connect your unit to any air distribution
duct.
13) Your woodstove must burn dry, seasonedstandard firewood only. The use of cut lumber,plywood, “mill ends”, coal, charcoal etc. is
prohibited as this fuel can easily overheat yourwoodstove. Evidence of excessive overheating
will void your warranty. As well, a large portion ofsawmill waste is chemically treated lumber, which
is illegal to burn in many areas. Salt drift wood,chemically treated fire logs and wet/green wood
also must not be burned in your woodstoves.

24

Regency CS1200 Freestanding Wood StoveMAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
It is very important to carefully maintain your fireplace stove, 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 stove require no lubrication.

CREOSOTEDOOR 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 tothe door frame, causing a tighter seal. Remove
and replace the nuts, washer and spacer as shown.

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar andother organic vapors, which when combined withmoisture, form creosote. The creosote vapors
condense in the relatively cool chimney flue ofa slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, thiscreosote can result in an extremely hot fire.

GLASS REPLACEMENT
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 theglass gasketing will properly seal your unit. Replace
the retainer, it should rest on the gasket not theglass, and tighten securely with a glass clips andscrews. Do not wrench down on the glass as thismay cause breakage.
Do not use substitute materials. If your glass does
break, do not continue to use your unit until it has
been replaced.

WARNING: Things to remember in case of achimney fire:
1. Close all draft and damper controls.
2. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Ways to Prevent and Keep Unit Free ofCreosote
1) Burn stove with the draft control wide open
for about 10-15 minutes every morning during
burning season.
2) Burn stove with draft control wide open forabout 10 - 15 minutes every time you apply
fresh wood. This allows the wood to achieve
the charcoal stage faster and burns up any
unburned gas vapours which might otherwise
be deposited within the system.

Spacer washers

DOOR GASKET
If the door gasket requires replacement 7/8" diametermaterial must be used. Regency uses AMATEX # 10863KR 7/8" dia. gasket. A proper high temperaturegasket adhesive is required. See your Regency
Dealer.

3) Only burn seasoned wood! Avoid burning wet
or green wood. Seasoned wood has been driedat 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 a significant layer of creosote
has accumulated (3 mm/1/8" or more) it should
be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

GLASS MAINTENANCE

Lower glass clipYour Regency stove is supplied with 5 mm Neoceram
ceramic glass that will withstand the highest heatthat your unit will produce. In the event that you
break your glass by impact, purchase your replacement from an authorized Regency dealer only, andfollow our step-by-step instructions for replacement.
Allow the stove to cool down before cleaning theglass, do not clean the glass when it is hot. Do not
use abrasive cleaners.
