Installation into a Masonry Fireplace
Regency Inserts are constructed with the highest quality materials and assembled under strict quality control procedures that insure years of trouble 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. 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. Install and use only in accordance with manufacturer’s installation and operating instructions.

2. Check your local building codes – Building Inspection Department. You may require a 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 that you 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 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 free from cracks, loose mortar or other signs of damage. If repairs are required, they should be completed before installing your insert. Do not remove bricks or mortar from your masonry fireplace.

7. Do not connect the insert to a chimney system servicing another appliance or an air distribution duct.

When referencing installation or connection to masonry fireplaces or chimneys, the masonry construction must or shall be code complying.
Chimney Specifications
Before installing, check and clean your chimney system 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 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 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 Canadian Electrical code, CSA C22.1.
Regency Inserts are designed to use either a 5.5″ (140mm) or 6″ (152mm) flue.
In Canada this fireplace insert must be installed with a continuous chimney liner of 5.5″ (140mm) or 6″ (152mm) 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.
In the U.S.A., a 5.5 inch (140 mm) or 6 inch (152 mm) diameter, stainless steel, full height chimney liner that meets type HT (2100° F) requirements per UL 1777 must be installed. The full liner must be attached to the insert flue collar and to the top of the existing masonry chimney.
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may cause damage. An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft. Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into the room and plugging of the chimney. Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints. Ensure the heater is installed in areas that are not too close to neighbors or in valleys that would cause unhealthy air quality or nuisance conditions. Optional Flue Connector Kit
The Straight Flue Adaptor (Part #846-504) shown here, may be used to produce a secure connection between your flue connector and the insert collar.
Detailed installation instructions are included with the kit.
The following may also be purchased separately if required to complete the install:
846-506 6″ Flue Adapter 30 degree
846-508 6″ Flue Adapter 45 degree
948-412/P 6″ Flue Offset Adapter (offsets back 4″)
846-527 Flue Connector Kit Installation Into a Factory Built Fireplace
Regency inserts are constructed with the highest quality materials and assembled under strict quality control procedures that ensure years of trouble free and reliable performance.
It is important that you read this manual thoroughly and fully understand the installation and operating procedures. Failure to follow instructions may resultin property damage, bodily injury or even death. Themore you understand the way your Regency Insert operates, the more enjoyment you will experience from knowing that your unit is operating at peak performance.
Requirements for Installing Solid-fuel Inserts in Factory-built Fireplaces

1. A permit may be required for installations, final approval is contingent of the authority having local jurisdiction. Consult insurance carrier, local building, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.
2. Inspect the existing fireplace and chimney for any damage or flaws such as burnouts, metal or refectory warping.
3. Inspection to a minimum of NFPA 211 Level II is recommended. All repairs must be made prior to installing an insert. The fireplace must be structurally sound and be able to support the weight of the solid-fuel insert.
4. The factory-built chimney must be listed per UL 127 or ULC 610-M87 for all installations. Install thermal protection as per this appliance listing requirements.
5. A full height 5.5 inch (140 mm) or 6 inch (152 mm) diameter stainless steel full height listed chimney liner must be installed meeting type HT (2100°  F) requirements per UL 1777 (USA) or ULC S635 with ”0” clearance to masonry (Canada). The full liner must be attached to the insert flue collar and to the top of the existing chimney.
6. The flue liner top support attachment must not reduce the air flow for the existing air-cooled chimney system. Reinstall original factory-built chimney cap only.
7. To prevent room air passage to the chimney cavity of the fireplace, seal either the damper area around the chimney liner or the insert surround. Circulating air chamber (i.e. in a steel fireplace liner or metal hearth circulatory) may not be blocked. The air flow within and around the fireplace shall not be altered, blocked by the installation of the insert (i.e. not louvers or cooling air inlet or outlet ports may be blocked by the insert or the insert surround).
8. Means must be provided for removal of the insert to clean the chimney flue.
9. Inserts that project in front of the fireplace must be supplied with appropriate supporting means.
10. Installer must mechanically attach the supplied label to the inside of the firebox of the fireplace into which the insert is installed.

WARNING

Fire Risk.
When lining air-cooled factory-builchimneys:
– Run chimney liner approved to
UL 1777 Type HT requirements (2100° F)
– Reinstall original factory-built chimney cap ONLY
– DO NOT block cooling air openings in chimney
– Blocking cooling air will overheat the chimney
Altering the Fireplace
The following modifications of factory-built fireplaces are permissible:
The following parts may be removed:

– The fireplace must be altered. Cutting any sheet metal parts of the fireplace in which the fireplace insert is to be installed is prohibited, except that the damper may be removed to accomodate a directconnect starter pipe or chimney liner.
– External trim pieces which do not affect the operation of the fireplace may be removed providing they can be stored on or within the fireplace for reassembly if the insert is removed.
– The permanent metal warning label provided in the component pack must be attached to the back of the fireplace, with screws or nails, stating that the fireplace may have been altered to accomodate the insert, and must be returned to original condition for use as a conventional fireplace.
– If the hearth extension is lower than the fireplace opening, the portion of the insert extending onto the hearth must be supported.
– Manufacturer designed adjustable support kit can be ordered from your dealer.
– Final approval of this installation type is contingent upon the authority having jurisdiction.
WARNING: This fireplace may have been altered to accommodate an insert. It must be returned to its original condition before use as a solid fuel burning fireplace.

1. When installed in a factory built fireplace, a full stainless 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 to be created. The greater draft can decrease problems such as, difficult startups, smoking out the door, and dirty glass.

2. In order to position the flue liner, the existing rain cap must be removed from your chimney 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 for the insert installation. If it does not, remove and store.

4. If the floor of your fireplace is below the level of the fireplace opening, adjust the insert’s levelling bolts to accommodate the difference.
   When additional shimming is required, use non-combustible masonry or steel shims.

5. Measure approximately the alignment of the flue 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.

Draft
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may cause damage. An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft. Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into the room and plugging of the chimney. Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints. Ensure the heater is installed in areas that are not too close to neighbors or in valleys that would cause unhealthy air quality or nuisance conditions.

14. Use the two bolts, washers and lock washers (supplied in manual pack) and install them, tighten down using the 1/2″ socket to ensure the adapter is positively secured to the unit. Once completed remove pull rod and place away for future reinstall.

15. Reverse steps 6-3 to complete the installation.

Floor Protection
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.

Flue Baffle & Secondary Air Tube Installation
The flue baffle system located in the upper area of the firebox is removable to make cleaning your chimney system easier. The 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 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 baffles and 2 air tubes on the floor of the firebox.

1. Open the door and remove stainless steel smoke deflector – See smoke deflector instructions in this manual.

2. Slide the left baffle over the 2 remaining air tubes from the front and then push it to the back.

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 flat on the air tubes.
   Important: push both baffles so they are tight against the side walls.

4. Install the 2 front secondary air tubes with pliers and hammer to lock them into place, as shown below.
   NOTE: If air tube is locked into place correctly there should be slight movement when moving the air tube back and forth.

5. Reverse Step 1.

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 have not become misaligned during shipping. Install all firebricks (if bricks were removed at install) per the diagram below and place in their correct positions.
Do not use a grate.

Order of firebrick install:
a) Rear Firebrick
b) Firebox floor – install brick over LyTherm Sheet
c) Right and left side Firebricks

Seasoned Wood
Whether you burn wood in a fireplace, stove or insert, good quality firewood is the key to convenience, efficiency and safety. Wet wood and pieces that are not the right size and shape for your wood burner can be frustrating, burn inefficiently and deposit creosote that can fuel a dangerous chimney fire. Good planning, seasoning and storage of the firewood supply are essential to successful wood burning.

• Stack the wood in separate rows in an open location where the summer sun can warm it and breezes can carry away the moisture. Do not stack unseasoned wood tightly in an unvented storage area.
• Do not allow firewood to lie on the ground for more than a couple of days before stacking. Mould and rot can set in quickly.
• Stack the wood up off the ground on poles, lumber rails or pallets.
• The top of the pile can be covered to keep off rain, but do not cover the sides.

Softer woods like pine, spruce and poplar/aspen that is cut, split and stacked properly in the early spring maybe be ready for burning in the fall. Extremely hard woods like oak and maple, and large pieces of firewood, may take a minimum of a full year to dry enough. Drying may also take longer in damp climates
There are a few ways to tell if wood is dry enough to burn efficiently. Use as many indicators as possible to judge the dryness of the firewood your are considering. Here are ways to judge firewood moisture.

• Using a moisture meter, select the species of fuel and then penetrate the pins into a split piece. Ideal moisture and seasoned firewood should be less than 20% moisture content.
• Checks or cracks in the end grain can be an indication of dryness, but may not be a reliable indicator. Some wet wood has checks and some dry wood has no checks.
• The wood tends to darken from white or cream colour to grey or yellow as it dries.
• Two dry pieces banged together sound hollow; wet pieces sound solid and dull.
• Dry wood weighs much less than wet wood.
• Split a piece of wood. If the exposed surface feels damp, the wood is too wet to burn.

Operating Instructions

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

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 out of 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 slide located on the front left side of the unit. To increase your draft – slide to the left to open, and to decrease – slide to the right to close.
The HI2450 unit has a secondary draft system that continually allows combustion air to the induction ports at the top of the firebox.
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may damage the unit. Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into the room and plugging of the chimney.

Outward – Open Inward – Closed

Left – Open Right – Closed

WARNING: To build a fire in ignorance or to disregard the information contained in this section 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.
THIS UNIT IS DESIGNED TO BURN SEASONED CORDWOOD ONLY. COAL, BRIQUETTES AND ALL OTHERS LISTED ON PAGE 2 ARE NOT APPROVED. SEASONED CORDWOOD SHOULD BE LESS THAN 20% MOISTURE CONTENT.
START UP AND OPERATING PROCEDURES:

1. For the first few days, the stove will give off an odour 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 the stove at a very high temperature the first few times may damage the paint. Burn fires at a moderate level the first few days.

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

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

4. Open the air control to fully open position (all the way to the left) and open the front fuel door. Load firebox with 1.7lb of kindling and crumpled paper and light crumpled paper to establish fire. DO NOT USE A GRATE TO ELEVATE THE FIRE. CAUTION: Never leave unit unattended if door is left open. This procedure is for fire start-up only, as unit may overheat if door is left open for too long.

5. Keep the door partially open for approximately 3 minutes and then close door. WARNING: Never build a roaring fire in a cold wood insert. Always warm your wood insert up slowly!

6. Once most of the kindling has burned down, add more kindling and a few bigger pieces of startup wood split approximately 2 inches thick. Keep the door open until flames are reestablished.

7. When a good fire is established, add 8-10 more pieces of startup wood and close the door right away.

8. Once a nice coal bed is established and there are still good sized flames, the main larger logs can be loaded into the firebox. Rake the coals to create a uniform charcoal bed. Load 5 pieces of 17″ long cord wood front to back,North/South orientation.

9. Once strong flames are established close the door.

10. After 20 minutes the fan can be set on high setting.

11. After 30 minutes the damper can be adjusted to low or medium setting and the fan switched to the low setting.

12. For those units installed at higher elevations or into sub-standard masonry fireplaces, drafting problems may occur. Consult an experienced dealer or mason on methods of increasing your draft.

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

14. Before opening your door to reload, open the air control fully for approximately 10 to 15 seconds until the fire has been re-established. This will minimize any smoking (spilling) back into the room. After loading wood and front door closed, close the air control to your desired setting only once the fire has been reestablished.

15. 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 your home, a downdraft may be created by your Regency Stove causing a draft down your chimney. If this occurs, slightly open a window near your unit.
    WARNING: If the body of your unit, or any part of the chimney connector starts to glow, you are over firing. Stop loading fuel immediately and close the draft control until the glow has completely subsided.

16. 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, and allow the fire to adjust before fully opening the door.

17. The controls of your unit or the air supply passages should not be altered to increase firing for any reason.

18. 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 your glass is clean, then your flue is clean and your exhaust is clean. Burn the stove hot enough to keep your glass clean, you won’t need to clean your flue as often.

How to Light & Maintain a Wood Stove Firehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v =Vs_pLbJ-JGE&feature=youtu.be

Fan Operation

Automatic
To operate the fan – ensure switch is in AUTO mode.
This will allow the fan to turn on as the stove has come up to operating temperature. It will also shut the fan system off after the fire has gone out and the unit cooled to below a useful heat output range.
Operate the fan in the low speed position when burning in the LOW-MED LOW heat output ranges and operate in the high setting for MED-HIGH to HIGH heat outputs.
Route power cord to either left or right and plug into suitable 3 prong grounded plug.

Ash Disposal
During constant use, ashes should be removed every few days.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on 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 the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

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 hot embers.
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.

Safety Guidelines and Warnings

CAUTION: Do not use chemicals as fluids to start fire.

1. CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuels, kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in your heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
2. Keep the door closed during operation and maintain all seals in good condition.
3. Do not burn any quantities of paper, garbage, and never 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 over firing. Stop adding fuel and close the draft control. Over firing can cause extensive damage to your stove including warping and premature steel corrosion. Over firing will void your warranty.
6. Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in the chimney system. Check and clean chimney at regular intervals. Failure to do so can result in a serious chimney fire.
7. Your Regency stove can be very hot. You may be seriously burned if you touch the stove while it is operating, keep children, clothing and furniture away. Warn children of the burn hazard.
8. The stove consumes air while operating, provide adequate ventilation with an air duct or open a window while the stove is in use.
9. Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving 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 refuelling the fire.
11. Do not connect your unit to any air distribution duct.
12. This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods.
13. In the event of component failure, replace parts with only Regency listed parts.
14. Warning: do not abuse glass door such as striking or slamming shut.
15. Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet from your unit. Do not place wood, paper, furniture, drapes or other combustibles near the appliance.
16. CAUTION: Do not operate with broken glazing.

CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.

Maintenance

It is very important to carefully maintain your fireplace stove, including burning seasoned wood and maintaining a clean stove and chimney system.
Have the chimney cleaned before the burning season and as necessary during the season, as creosote deposits may build up rapidly. Moving parts of your stove require no lubrication.
Creosote When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours combine with moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote can result in an extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if creosote build up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated it should be removed to reduce the risk of chimney fire.

CAUTION: Things to remember in case of a chimney fire:

1. Close all draft and damper controls.
2. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Ways to Prevent and Keep Unit Free of Creosote

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 for about 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.
3. Only burn seasoned wood! Avoid burning kiln dried, 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. The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine is a creosote buildup has occurred.
6. Have chimney system and unit cleaned by competent 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.

Door Gasket
If the door gasket requires replacement, use a 7/8″ gasket rope (Part

846-570). A proper high temperature gasket adhesive is required. See your

Regency Dealer.
The door catch may require adjustment as the door gasket compresses after a few fires. The door latch compression may require adjustment to renew seal.
Removal of a shim, (see section in this manual), will allow the latch to be moved closer to the door frame, causing a tighter seal.

Glass Maintenance
Your Regency stove is supplied with 5mm Neoceram ceramic glass (Part

940-370/P) that will withstand the 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 for replacement (refer to Glass Replacement section).
Allow the stove to cool down before cleaning the glass. Cleaning the glass will prevent build up of carbon and allow full view of the fire.
WARNING: Do not clean the glass when it is hot.
WARNING: Do not use abrasive cleaners, a damp cloth and glass cleaner is effective.

Wood Storage
Store wood under cover, such as in a shed, or covered with a tarp, plastic, tar paper, sheets of scrap plywood, etc., as uncovered wood can absorb water from rain or snow, delaying the seasoning process.

DO NOT BURN:

• Treated wood
• Coal
• Garbage
• Cardboard
• Solvents
• Colored Paper
• Trash
• Salt drift wood
• Cut lumber, plywood, mill ends.

Burning treated wood, garbage, solvents, colored paper or trash may result in release of toxic fumes. Burning coal, cardboard, or loose paper can produce soot, or large flakes of char or fly ash, causing smoke spillage into the room.

CAUTION: DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPTHA OR ENGINE OIL. SOME FUELS COULD GENERATE CARBON MONOXIDE AND ARE VERY DANGEROUS.
CAUTION: DO NOT CONNECT TO, OR USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT WORK UNLESS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED FOR SUCH INSTALLATION.

Door Gasket
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 Hampton dealer.

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.

Door Removal
When handling enamel parts, please handle with care as they can be damaged.

1. Remove the Top Faceplate by lifting straight up from the sides.
2. Lift off Mantel Top.
3. Open the Door and lift up off its hinges.

Please be careful when removing the Door and not to drop onto the Ashlip, it may chip.

DOOR INSTALLATION NOTE
After re-installing the door, carefully swing open and check the clearance to the Right Hand Cast Side. If tight or rubbing, loosen the 7/16 nuts and adjust the clearance and then re-tighten.

Glass Replacement

1. Open door.
2. To replace the glass remove the 8 screws highlighted in the diagram below.
3. Lift off the 4 glass retainers and carefully remove glass.
4. Place new glass in the door, make sure that the glass gasketing will properly seal your unit.
5. Position the glass retainer back on. Ensure that it rests on the gasket and not the glass.
6. Secure glass retainer using the 8 screws. Do not wrench down on the glass as this may cause the glass to break.
   Avoid impact on glass doors such as striking or slamming shut.

Handle Replacement

1. Remove handle by unscrewing it from the latch.
2. Fit new door handle over latch and screw it in to place.

Latch Adjustment
The door latch may require adjustment as the door gasket material compresses after a few fires. Removal of spacers will allow the latch to be moved closer to the door frame, causing a tighter seal.

1. Remove the Latch Assembly from the unit by undoing the outer 2 bolts.
   

2. Remove the Latch from the Mounting Bracket by undoing the inner 2 bolts.
   

3. Remove necessary amount of spacers sitting on the Mounting Bracket.
   Ensure an equal amount of spacers are removed from both top and bottom.
   

4. Re-secure Latch to Mounting Bracket using 2 bolts.
   

5. Re-secure the Latch Assembly to the unit using 2 bolts.
