INSTALLATION

RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION

1. Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new woodstove. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or even death. Be aware that local Codes and Regulations may override some items in this manual. Check with your local inspector.
WARNING
DO NOT INSTALL THE FREESTANDING WOODSTOVE IN ANY FIREPLACE.
2. Select a position for your Regency Stove. Consult the minimum clearance chart for your model and set the stove in place. For installation use listed double wall connector systems only.
3. To insure vertical alignment, suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling over the exact center of your stove flue and mark a spot on the ceiling to indicate 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 ensure that they are within the prescribed limits.
5. This woodstove must be connected to a UL 103 HT (ULC S629) listed chimney or a code approved masonry chimney with a flue liner.
Space heater is to be connected to a factory built chimney conforming to CAN/ULC-5629 standard for 650C factory built chimneys. The chimney requirement is 6″ (152 mm), refer to appropriate sections in this manual for specifics.
6. Install chimney according to chimney manufacturers instructions. The performance of your woodstove is governed to a very large part by the chimney system. Too short a chimney can cause difficult start-up, dirty glass, back smoking when door is open, and even reduced heat output.

Too tall 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 excessive draft.
CAUTION: The chimney should be the same size as the 6″ (152 mm) flue outlet on the stove. The chimney must be listed as suitable for use with solid fuels. For other types of chimneys check with your local building code officials. Do not confuse a chimney with a type “B” Venting System used for gas appliances as suitable for a wood burning appliance. For Mobile Home installations refer to that section within this manual.
7. Mark the location of the pedestal base or legs on the floor, then move the stove aside and mark the position of the floor protector.
8. The floor protector must be of Type 1 non-combustible material and must extend 16″ (406mm) (USA), 18″(457 mm) (Canada) in front of the door opening and 8″ (203mm) to the sides and rear of the unit (Canada/USA). Some areas may require a larger size floor protector. See your local inspector. For outside air installation refer to Mobile Home installation instructions within this manual.
NOTE: In Canada, floor protection must extend 18″ (457mm) to the front and 8″ (203mm) to each side and back of the stove.
9. When the floor protection is complete, position the stove with the flue collar centered under the installed chimney.
10. In areas with frequent seismic activity, Regency recommends that your unit is secured to the floor by using the bolt down holes inside the pedestal (the same ones used in Mobile Home installations).

NOTE: In Canada installation shall be in accordance with CSA B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment, building codes, and standards that apply to the structure where the space heater is installed.
11. For residential installations 6″ (152 mm) (single wall OK) double wall chimney, 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 instructions within this manual.
12. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
13. 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.
14. Your Regency Woodstove is not to be connected to any air distribution duct.
15. To be installed as a freestanding space heater with the clearances in the manufacturer’s installation instructions. “Not to be installed in any fireplace.”
16. Room heaters intended for use in mobile homes are to be installled in accordance with the Mobile Home Construction and Safety Standards published by the Department of Housing and Urban development (HUB).
NOTE: In Canada, chimney must be removed for transportation of a transportable building.
CAUTION: Do not alter or makeshift chimney or install. Install as per Manual.

WHEN THIS ROOM HEATER IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS IN YOUR AREA.

NOTE: Do not install the chimney directly at the outlet of the appliance. A chimney connector (flue pipe) is required unless the appliance is specifically approved for that type of installation.

IMPORTANT:
Smoke and CO Detectors: Make sure your home has a working smoke and
CO detector, especially near any bedrooms. We
recommend having a smoke and CO detector
in the same room as the wood appliance for
additional safety. Location of both detectors
should be chosen wisely to avoid false alarms
when reloading the appliance.
Fire Extinguisher: A fire extinguisher should be installed in the home. The location of the fire extinguisher should be known by all family members.

MODULAR INSTALLATION OPTIONS
WARNING: ONLY USE SPECIFIED COMPONENTS.
The following items are required when assembling your Regency Stove. F3500B-1 unit – the Rear Heat Deflector is supplied with the stove, but if you choose not to use it you must use the Airmate instead.

Modular Part

See the Minimum Clearance to Combustible Materials chart in the Installation section of this manual

F3500B-1 Airmate OR Rear Heat Deflector

Convection heat with Airmate vs. Radiant Heat with Rear Heat Deflector. The Airmate pushes heat forward out into the room, the Rear Heat Deflector deflects the heat upward. Refer to the Installation sections within this manual.

OPTIONS: These can be installed at time of installation or added later:

Blower/Fan

Adding the blower will increase the area heated by the stove, it can move warm air beyond the room where the stove

Ash Drawer Kit

Adding the Ash Drawer Kit makes cleaning ashes out of the stove easier and cleaner (refer to Bottom Shield Ash Drawer Kit, Installation section).

Airmate

The Airmate pushes heat forward out into the room.

Outside Air Kit

Draw combustion air from the outside of dwelling.

STOVE ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
The F3500B-1 unit requires the pedestal attached to the base. The F3500B-1 stove requires either the Airmate or Rear Heat Deflector on top of the stove. Clearances to combustible materials vary depending on whether the Airmate or rear heat deflector is installed, so be sure to check the Minimum Clearances, Installation section.

Diagram 2

Side Shield Adjustment
The left and right side shields are lowered for shipping and handling. It allows for a handhold on the top of the stove. Before placing in the Step Stove in its final position, the side shields must be raised.

FLOOR PROTECTION (Ember Protection Only Required)

A combustible floor must be protected by a non-combustible material (like tile, concrete board, or certified to UL-1618 Type 1 or as defined by local codes). Type 1 Hearth Pads typically provide protection from embers only, but won’t provide thermal protection from the heat of the appliance. Canada: Beneath the heater and extending to at least 18″ (457 mm) on the fuel loading side and at least 8″ (203 mm) on the sides and back. USA: Beneath the heater and extending to at least 16″ (406 mm) beyond the fuel loading side and ash removal opening and at least 8″ (203 mm) on the sides and back and under the chimney connector extending 2″ (51 mm) beyond each side for horizontal applications. Note: The measurements for floor protection for front are taken from fuel door opening & sides are taken from the unit heat shield. Where the appliance is installed less than 8″ (203 mm) from a rear wall, the ember pad only needs to extend to the base of the wall based on the clearances noted in this manual.

COMBUSTIBLE WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR PASS-THROUGHS

installation

Method A: 12″ (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member:
Using a minimum thickness 3.5″ (89 mm) brick and a 5/8″ (15.9 mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard Specification for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12″ (304.8 mm) of brick masonry between the clay liner and wall combustibles. The clay liner shall run from the brick masonry outer surface to the inner surface of the chimney flue liner but not past the inner surface. Firmly grout or cement the clay liner in place to the chimney flue liner.
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 wall pass-through with a minimum 9″ (228.6 mm) air space between the outer wall of the chimney length and wall combustibles. Use sheet metal supports fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides, to maintain the 9″ (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 a non-water soluble refractory cement. Use this cement to also seal to the 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) metal chimney connector, and a minimum 24 gage ventilated wall thimble which has two air channels of 1″ (25.4 mm) each, construct a wall pass-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 the 6″ (152.4 mm) space. There should also be a support sized to fit and hold the metal chimney connector. See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure 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 6″ (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 with and 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 to wall surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure chimney flue liner.

STEP-BY-STEP CHIMNEY AND CONNECTOR INSTALLATION
Notes: These are a generic set of chimney installation instructions. Always follow the manufacturers own instructions explicitly. Verify the Minimum Recommended Heights for Woodstove Flue (Table 1 in the Installation section). Do not install the chimney directly at the outlet of the appliance. A chimney connector (flue pipe) is required unless the appliance is specifically approved for that type of installation.
1. With your location already established, cut and frame the roof hole. It is recommended that no ceiling support member be cut for chimney and support box installation. If it is necessary to cut them, the members must be made structurally sound.
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 at least 3 feet of chimney above the roof level.
NOTE: Ensure each section of chimney is positively attached and secured.

7. To complete your chimney installation, install the single wall or double wall connector pipe from the stove’s flue collar to the chimney support device.
NOTE: When attaching the chimney to the appliance, ensure a minimum of two (2) screws are used to establish a snug fit.
8. If you are using a horizontal connector, the chimney connector should be as high as possible while still maintaining the 18″ (457mm) minimum distance from the horizontal connector to the ceiling.
NOTE: Residential Close Clearance and Alcove installations require a listed double wall connector from the stove collar to the ceiling level.
The diagrams below illustrate one way to install your unit into a standard ceiling or with a horizontal connector. Check with your dealer or installer for information on other options available to you.

Standard Ceiling Installation

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 when door is open, and dirty glass. It might be sufficient to initially try with the minimum required height, and then if problems do arise add additional height at a later date.
4. Slide the roof flashing over your chimney and seal the flashing to the roof with roofing compound. Secure the flashing to your roof with nails 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.

Simple rules on draft (refer to Table 1).

1. At sea level minimum height is 12′ straight.

2. Add the following vertical height to com-

pensate for:

45 deg. elbow = 1 ft.

90 deg. elbow = 2 ft.

“T”

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
2 ft. of horizontal run

MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION (US ONLY)
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 of fresh air has to be supplied to your unit.
See Optional Outside Air Kit instructions in this manual.
Place your unit in position and secure it to the floor using two lag bolts 3/8″ (10mm) x 3-1/2″ (89mm) 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.

CAUTION: At no time use unlabelled parts, or substitute parts made for another chimney system.
Install as per chimney manufacturer’s installation instructions.

Pedestal Bolted to
Floor
Permanent Outside Air Inlet

WARNING: Operate only with door fully closed – open feed door to feed fire only.

1. Identify the position of the outside air damper by the orientation of the metal handle that rests outside the galvanized pipe. The metal handle and the damper disc are in line with each other. This means that if the metal handle is in a horizontal position, the damper is flat and fully open.
2. Open the damper fully whenever you start a fire. This will allow the outside air to be drawn in the pedestal base eliminating any potential smoke escaping the stove and entering the room. (Negative air pressure)

In addition to standard installation instructions the following requirements are mandatory for installation in a mobile home.
1. The stove must be permanently bolted to the floor of the Mobile Home using the floor screws provided.
2. The stove must have a permanent outside air source for combustion.
3. The stove must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the Mobile Home.
4. A listed double-wall connector chimney system, roof thimble, spark arrestor and roof flashing kit suitable for use in Mobile Homes must be used.
5. If the chimney exits the Mobile Home at a location other than through the roof, and exits at a point 7ft. (2130mm) or less above the ground level on which the Mobile Home is positioned a guard or method of enclosing the chimney shall be fitted at the point of exit for a height up to 7ft. (2130mm).
6. The chimney shall be attached directly to the room heater and shall extend at least 3 ft. (914mm) above the part of the roof through which it passes. The top of the chimney should project at least 2ft. (610mm) above the highest elevation of any part of the Mobile Home within 10 ft. (3048mm) of the chimney.
7. The chimney system shall comply with Local Requirements.
8. Any openings in a chimney guard where required must not permit the entrance of 3/4″ (19mm) diameter rod.
9. C A U T I O N : T H E S T R U C T U R A L INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME ROOF, FLOOR, WALLS AND CEILING MUST BE MAINTAINED.
10.Check any other local building code as other local codes may apply.
11. WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM OF A MOBILE HOME.
12. Use silicone to create an effective vapour barrier at the location where the chimney or other component penetrates to the exterior of the structure.

SEASONED FIREWOOD

operating instructions

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

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 Catalytic combustor and 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 (when facing the unit). To increase your draft – slide to the left to open, and to decrease slide to the right to close. The F3500B-1 unit has a secondary draft system that continually allows combustion air to the induction ports at the top of the firebox, just in front of the catalytic combustor.
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 catalytic combustor. Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into the room and plugging of the chimney or catalyst.

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 wood 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 wood stove at a very high temperature the first few times may damage the paint. 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 you can operate the wood stove at its maximum setting, and only after the metal has been warmed.
2. Do not place anything on the wood stove top during the curing process. This may result in damage to your paint finish.
3. When starting the fire, ensure the bypass is in the fully open position and air control is in the fully open position. To start a good and clean fire you will need approx. 5 – 5.5 lb kindling and 1 load of start up fuel weighing approximately 7 – 8 lb, wood split slightly larger than kindling, approx. 2 inches thick. Load 5-6 pieces of crumpled paper in the center of the firebox and the kindling on top, stacked in a manner that allows air flow on the firebrick hearth (Criss cross style or other). DO NOT USE A GRATE TO ELEVATE THE FIRE. Light crumpled newspaper and leave the door cracked approx. 1 – 2 inches to establish a good fire and for less smoke roll out. Keep the door in that position for approx. 4 – 5 minutes. Once the door is closed wait until the catalyst thermocouple probe is in the active zone and close the by-pass.
4. Once most of the kindling has burned down but there are still flames, load the start up fuel on top in a criss cross style. When a good fire is established close the door to keep the catalyst from cooling down.
5. NOTE: These steps are crucial to ensure proper charcoaling and coal bed prior to loading High, Med and Low fire loads.
6. Once a nice coal bed is established and there are still good sized flames, open the door and the bypass, and rake the coals to create a uniform charcoal bed. Load 5-6 pieces of 17″ long cord wood, front to back, North/South orientation Once loaded, and strong flames are established, close the door and the bypass. Burn on high setting (air control to the far left when facing the unit) for at least 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, it should be a strong fire and you can adjust the air control to your desired position. After at least 20 minutes the fan can be set on high setting for a high and medium high fire and on low for medium-low and low fire. High Fire: Air control to far left. Low Fire: Air control to far right.

Med Low Fire: Air control slightly left of low fire setting. Approx. 1/4″ to the left of low setting. Med High Fire: Approx. 1″ from low air setting. For low and medium fire, adjust the air gradually from high to the desired position.
7. IMPORTANT: The temperature in the wood stove and the gases entering the combustor must reach between 500°F – 700°F for catalytic activity to start. From the start up of a cold wood stove, a medium to high firing rate must be maintained for 30 min. This ensures that the wood stove, catalyst and fuel are all stabilized at proper operating temperatures. Even though it is possible to have temperatures at 600°F within minutes after a fire has been started, if the fire is allowed to die down immediately it may go out or the combustor may stop working. Once the combustor starts working, heat generated in it by burning the smoke will keep it working. During re-fueling and rekindling of the cool fire, or a fire that has burned down to the charcoal phase, operate the wood stove at a medium to high firing rate for about 10 minutes to ensure that the catalyst reaches operating temperatures.
WARNING: Never build a roaring fire in a cold wood stove. Always warm your wood stove up slowly! 8. When re-fueling, always open bypass control, and primary air damper, load fuel, then wait for at least 10-15 minutes before closing the by-pass. Reason for the 10-15 min. is the fresh fuel and the opening of the door will cause the catalyst to drop in temperature as well as the moisture within the wood which is the first thing to be released. This will also minimize any smoking (spilling) back into the room.
9. 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.
10. 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.
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. 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 another fireplace in your home, a downdraft may be created by your Regency wood stove causing a draft down your chimney. If this occurs, slightly open a window near your unit.
CAUTION: If the body of your wood stove, 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.

operating instructions

13. Green or wet wood is not recommended for your 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, the draft control may be adjusted to maintain the fire.
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, and allow the fire to adjust before fully opening the door.
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 a too low setting your unit will not be operating as efficiently as it can. An easy rule of thumb says that if your glass is clean, catalytic thermostat is active, then your flue is clean and your exhaust is clean. Burn the stove hot enough to keep your glass clean and catalytic combustor, you won’t need to clean your flue as often.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND
FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
NOTE: You can stir and level the coals before reloading to ensure proper charcoaling and a good start up of the load.
CAUTION: Do not build the fire too close to the glass, unless/otherwise specified.
FAN OPERATION
Automatic To operate the fan automatically, push the bottom switch on the side of the fan housing to “AUTO” and the top switch to either “HIGH” or “LOW” for fan speed.
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.
Route power cord to either left or right behind unit.
Manual To manually operate the fan system push the bottom switch to “MAN” and the top switch to either “HIGH” or “LOW”. This will bypass the sensing device and allow full control of the fan.
Switching from “AUTO” to “MAN” or “HIGH” to “LOW” may be done anytime.
ASH 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 Modular Installation Options section.
F3500B-1 Regency Freestanding Woodstove

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.
3. Never start a fire if the ash plug and ash drawer are not in place. This will cause over firing which can cause excessive warping of the stove. Evidence of over firing can void the warranty on your stove.
4. The firebricks are brittle and can be damaged if the plug is replaced carelessly or pieces that are too large are forced through the hole.
Ash Drawer Operating Guideline
1. Only clean ashes out of the stove when the unit has cooled down. Remove the plug by lifting on the handle using the tool provided. The plug may still be warm, use caution. 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 the door opening.
2. Always leave 1/2 to 1 inch of ash in the bottom of the firebox. This helps in easier starting and a more uniform burn of your fire. Replace ash plug when ashes have been removed.
3. Pedestal Units: To remove the drawer, lift slightly and slide it out. When the drawer is completely out, slide the cover plate over the ash drawer and carry away.
CAUTION: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
4. When emptying the ash drawer, make sure the ashes are cold. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible 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. 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.
Pedestal Units: make sure the cover lid is off.
SAFETY GUIDELINES AND WARNINGS
CAUTION: DO NOT USE CHEMICALS FOR 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.
12. Do not connect your unit to any air distribution duct.
13. 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.

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.
THERMOMETER
The catalyst thermometer is only a indication of the flue gas temperature as they pass through the catalyst. The thermostat probe that is inserted into the opening, must be cleaned at least once a year. Use 220 sand paper to clean probe.

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 (3mm/1/8″ or more) it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
   DOOR GASKET

GLASS REPLACEMENT
Allow the stove to cool before removing or replacing glass. Remove the door from the stove and remove the glass retainer. To avoid injury use caution when removing broken glass. Wear safety gloves. When placing the replacement glass in the door, make sure that the glass gasketing will properly seal your unit. Replace the retainer, it should rest on the gasket not the glass, and tighten securely with a glass clips and screws. Do not wrench down on the glass as this may cause breakage.
Do not use substitute materials. If your glass does break, do not use your unit until it has been replaced.
WARNING: Do not abuse the door by striking or slamming shut. Cracked glass can cause the heater to overfire.

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.

If the door gasket requires replacement 5/8″ diameter material must be used. Regency uses a gasket rope 5/8″ Medium Density (Part #846-530). 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

940-416/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.

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.

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.

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 wet or green wood. Seasoned wood has been
   dried at least one year.

CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR

ACHIEVING AND MAINTAINING CATALYST LIGHT-OFF:
The temperature in the stove and the gases entering the combustor must be raised to between 500F to 700F for catalytic activity to be initiated. During the start up of a cold stove a medium to high firing rate must be maintained for about 30 minutes. This ensures that the stove, catalyst and fuel are all stabilized at proper operating temperatures. Even though it is possible to have temperatures at 600F within minutes after a fire has been started, if the fire is allowed to die down immediately it may go out or the combustor may stop working. Once the combustor starts working, heat generated in it by burning the smoke will keep it working. During re-fueling and rekindling of the cool fire, or a fire that has burned down to the charcoal phase, operate the stove at a medium to high firing rate for about 10 minutes to ensure that he catalyst reaches operating temperatures.
CATALYST MONITORING: It is important to periodically monitor the operation of the catalytic combustor to ensure that it is functioning properly and to determine when it needs to be replaced. A non-functioning combustor will result in a loss of heating efficiency, and an increase in creosote and emissions. Following is a list of items that should be checked on a periodic basis.
· Combustors should be visually inspected at least three times during the heating season to determine if physical degradation has occurred. Actual removal of the combustor is not recommended unless more detailed inspection is warranted because of decreased performance. If any of these conditions exist, refer to Catalyst trouble shooting section of this owner’s manual.
· A good combustor is designed to withstand approximately 12,000 hours of continuous use. This will translate into five to ten years of use, depending on the length of your heating season and how often you use your stove. Proper maintenance will increase the combustor’s effectiveness and prevent many problems. Inspect your combustor before each heating season, and during the season if your stove’s performance seems to change.
· This catalytic heater is equipped with a temperature probe to monitor catalyst operation. Properly functioning combustors typically maintain temperatures in excess of 500F and often reach temperatures in excess of 1000F. If catalyst temperatures are not in within, refer to Catalyst trouble shooting section of this manual.
· You can get an indication of whether the catalyst is working by comparing the amount of smoke leaving the chimney when the smoke is going through the combustor and catalyst light ­ off has been achieved, to the amount of smoke leaving the chimney when the smoke is not routed (bypass open) through the combustor.

0.875

3.067

Step 1: Light the stove in accordance with instructions within this manual.
Step 2: With smoke routed through the catalyst (by-pass closed) go outside and observe the emissions leaving the chimney.
Step 3: Engage the bypass mechanism and move to by-pass open position. And again observe the emission leaving the chimney. Significantly more smoke should be seen when the smoke is not routed through the combustor (by-pass open). Be careful not to confuse smoke with steam.
ACHIEVING PROPER 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 damage the catalytic combustor. Inadequate draft may cause back puffing into the room and plugging of the chimney or catalyst.
CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR CLEANING:

Method #1
A vacuum cleaner may be used, but never use high pressured air to blow the cells free of any build-up. This can damage the cell walls. Any cell blockage can be removed with the use of a pipe cleaner or a cotton swab as well.
14.197
Method #2
Should the combustor’s cells become covered with fly-ash, use a paintbrush or soft-bristled brush and dust the combustor gently. Never use anything abrasive to clean the combustor.

Method #3

Normally the catalytic combustor requires little or no maintenance, it

generates such high temperatures and therefore is basically self-cleaning.

However, should the combustor become covered with soot or creosote,

it is possible to burn the accumulation off by opening the bypass and

building a hot fire.

Once the hot fire is created, close the bypass halfway and burn for 30

to 60 minutes with the bypass left in this position. Never use cleaning

solvents to clean it.

DOOR CATCH ADJUSTMENT

DOOR HINGE ADJUSTMENT

After a few fires, the door catch may require adjustment to renew a tight seal, as the door gasket will compress. Removal of a shim, shown in the diagram below, will allow the catch to be moved closer to the door frame, creating a tighter seal.
To remove a shim, loosen the 2 bolts to create clearance behind catch. Place a screwdriver in the slot of the shim and slide out. Retighten bolts. Note: Keep the shims – they may be required in the future when the gasket is replaced.

If the door hinge ever requires adjustment, ensure that the bolt is put on hand tight and tightened a further 1/2 turn using a wrench. Do not overthighten as this can damage the bolt or nutsert. Note: Some models may only have 1 bolt at the top. This version shows 2 top bolts.

maintenance

Completely clean out entire unit Inspect air tube, Catalytic Combustor and bricks Adjust door catch assembly
Inspect condition and seal of: Glass Gasket Door Gasket Bypass Door Gasket
Paper Test
Check and lubricate door hinge + latch Check glass for cracks Clean blower motor
Inspect and clean chimney Thermostat Probe

Annual Maintenance Annually Replace any damaged parts. If unable to obtain a tight seal on the door – replace door gasket seal. Readjust door catch after new gasket installed.
Perform paper test – replace gasket if required
Test the seal on the loading door and bypass door with a paper bill. Place a paper bill in the gasket area of the door on a cold stove. Close the door. Try to remove the paper by pulling. The paper should not pull out easily; if it does, try adjusting the door latch (loading door only). If that doesn’t solve the problem, replace the door gasket, bypass gasket, or both. Use only high temperature anti seize lube. (ie. never seize) Replace if required. Disconnect power supply. Remove and clean blower. DO NOT LUBRICATE Annual professional chimney cleaning recommended. The thermostat probe that is inserted into the opening, must be cleaned at least once a year. Use 220 sand paper to clean probe.

NOTE:
Chimney Cleaning When cleaning the chimney system the catalyst should be removed so this can also be cleaned at the same time following the guide lines found in this manual. The bypass should be open so any creosote will fall onto the firebox floor when being cleaned and door closed. The monitor should also be removed when cleaning is being done to prevent damage to the monitor. We highly recommend that the chimney cleaning be done by a professional as they will have the necessary tools such as a proper sized brush and special vacuum cleaner designed to deal with fine particles.

IMPORTANT: Before attempting to loosen or remove any screw, bolt from the interior of a wood stove, insert or factory built fireplace that has had a fire burned in it, we highly recommend to liberally spray the screw/bolt with a good-quality penetrating oil, one that does not have flammable properties contained within the penetrating oil being used. Allow it to set, then tap or vibrate the screw or bolt to help loosen it before attempting to remove it. For best
results, follow the instructions that are provided with the penetrating oil.
