Regency Renmark Freestanding Wood Fire

RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION

1. Please read this entire manual before you install and use your new wood fire. 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.
2. THE APPLIANCE AND FLUE-SYSTEM SHALL BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AS/NZS 2918:2001 AND THE APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS OF THE RELEVANT BUILDING CODE OR CODES. APPLIANCES INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS STANDARD SHALL COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF AS/NZS 4013 WHERE REQUIRED BY THE REGULATORY AUTHORITY. ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE TESTING AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERED TO BE IN BREACH OF THE APPROVAL GRANTED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH AS/NZS 4013. CAUTION: MIXING OF APPLIANCE OR FLUE-SYSTEM COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES OR MODIFYING THE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATION OF COMPONENTS MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. WHERE SUCH ACTION IS CONSIDERED, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE CONSULTED IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.
3. Select a position for your Regency Heater. Consult the minimum clearance chart for your model and set the heater in place. For close clearance installation use listed double wall connector systems.
4. To ensure vertical alignment, suspend a plumb bob from the ceiling over the exact center of your heater flue and mark a spot on the ceiling to indicate the center of the flue.
5. Check that the area above the ceiling is clear for cutting. Re-confirm the clearance from the heater to combustibles to ensure that they are within the prescribed limits.
6. Mark the location of the pedestal base on the floor, then move the heater aside and mark the position of the floor protector.
7. Install flue according to flue manufacturers instructions. The performance of your wood fire is governed to a very large part by the flue system. Too short a flue can cause difficult start-up, dirty glass, backsmoking when door is open, and even reduced heat output. Too tall a flue may prompt excessive draft which can result in very short burn times and excessive heat output.
8. The floor protector must be of noncombustible material. Refer to page 7 for floor protector clearances.
9. When the floor protection is complete, position the heater with the flue collar centered under the installed flue.
10. In seismically active areas, Regency recommends that your unit is secured to the floor by using the bolt down holes inside the pedestal.
11. Do not connect this unit to a flue serving another appliance.

SAFETY GUIDELINES AND WARNINGS

1. Never use petrol, petrol 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 petrol, naptha or engine oil in your heater.
4. If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
5. Do not overfire heater. If the flue connector, flue baffle or the heater top begin to glow, you are overfiring. Stop adding fuel and close the draft control. Overfiring can cause extensive damage to your heater including warpage and premature steel corrosion. Overfiring will void your warranty.
6. Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in the flue system. Check and clean flue at regular intervals. Failure to do so can result in a serious flue fire.
7. Your Regency heater can be very hot. You may be seriously burned if you touch the heater while it is operating, keep children, clothing and furniture away. Warn children of the burn hazard. For safety reasons, a guard around the fire is recommended.
8. The heater consumes air while operating, provide adequate ventilation with an air duct or open a window while the heater is in use.
9. Do not connect this unit to a flue flue serving another appliance.
10. Do not use grates or andirons or other methods for supporting fuel. Burn directly on the base or bricks where supplied.
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. Your wood fire should burn dry, standard firewood only. The use of cut timber, plywood, “mill ends”, etc. is not allowed as this fuel can easily overheat your wood fire. Evidence of excessive overheating will void your warranty. As well, a large portion of sawmill waste is chemically treated timber, which is illegal to burn in many areas. Salt drift wood and chemically treated fire logs also must not be burned in your wood fire.
14. No combustible material should be closer than the clearances as specified on page 7.
15. DO NOT OPERATE WITH BROKEN GLASS.

WARNING Ensure that curtains, blinds and drapes cannot extend to or anywhere near the fire as this could cause an extremely dangerous operating condition. These must be secured by any means possible. Examples not limited to : If a window or door is opened, the wind/breeze could cause them to move. Physical movement by an adolescent child.

BRICK INSTALLATION

Firebrick comes installed in each heater and is made to extend the life of your heater and to radiate heat more evenly.
Important: Remove the packing material from above and below the top bricks. Check to see that all firebricks are in their correct positions and have not become misaligned during shipping.

MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS

| Hawkwind Standard (1) Default Kit| AHD Special Insulated (2)
---|---|---
A| 400mm| 450mm
B| 100mm| 100mm
C| 175mm| 175mm
D| 100mm| 100mm
E| 120mm| 120mm
F| 350mm| 350mm
G| 880mm| 880mm
H| 914mm| 914mm

Floor Protection
A combustible floor must be protected by non-combustible material (like tile, concrete board, or as defined by local codes) extending beneath the heater as follows;

The floor protector should consist of 12mm thick cement fibre sheet which has a thermal resistance of 0.8m 2k/w for 4mm sheets of cement fibre sheet.

IMPORTANT

• (1) The Hawkwind Standard flue kit requires a 130o x 900mm stainless reflective shield between the decromesh casing and active flue. If no additional shielding is added to  the Standard default Hawkwind kit the rear wall clearance is 325mm.
• (2) The AHD Special Insulated flue kit must be installed with a 40mm air gap around the flue to any combustible surfaces and the ceiling ring must be spaced as such to  provide an air gap of 20mm to the ceiling. An additional 130º x 900mm stainless shield must be positioned 25mm behind the active flue – directly on top of the appliance.

OPTIONAL CORNER FLOOR PROTECTION

Renmark F180B (Fig. 1)

I| 1288mm
J| 1288mm
K| 665mm
L| 880mm
M| 1380mm

The flue pipe shall extend not less than 4.6m above the top of the floor protector.
NOTE: Installation must be carried out by a licensed installer in accordance with AS/NZS 2918:2001.
NOTE: A minimum clearance of 125mm (flat wall) or 150mm (corner wall) must be retained for all wall surfaces to allow for fan access and maintenance.

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.
CAUTION: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
CAUTION: THE USE OF SOME TYPES OF PRESERVATIVE-TREATED WOOD AS A FUEL CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
WARNING: ANY MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE THAT HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE TESTING AUTHORITY IS  ONSIDERED AS BREACHING AS/NZS 4013.
WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE.
WARNING: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS APPLIANCE WHEN IT IS OPERATING.
WARNING: DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN HEATER INSTALLATION CLEARANCES.
WARNING: OPEN AIR CONTROL (AND DAMPER WHEN FITTED) BEFORE OPENING FIRING DOOR.

For safety reasons and in order to avoid over firing of your unit do not burn your fire with the door open or ajar.

FAN OPERATION
(Note : Fan is an optional extra)
If the optional 2 speed fan has been installed the fan will be controlled by a thermodisc and a speed selection switch on the side of the pedestal. The fan speed switch positions are HI / OFF / LOW.
Fan operation will be automatically controlled by the selection on the fan speed switch and the temperature of the heater. The thermodisc in the fan circuit ensures that the  heater has achieved a high temperature before the fan can operate – this may take 15 – 20 minutes. When the heater cools down the fan will automatically turn off – this may
take 15 – 20 minutes.
Selecting OFF on the fan speed switch will always turn the fan off immediately.

AIR SLIDE CONTROL

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

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.

1. Open control fully.

2. Open firebox door and build a small fire using paper and dry kindling on the firebox base. Secure door on the firebox 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 fire start-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 the rear of the firebox prior  to closing the door.

4.  After about 45 minutes, when your wood has begun to burn strongly, adjust your draft control down to keep the fire at a moderate level. WARNING: Never build a roaring fire in a cold heater. Always warm your heater up slowly!

5. Once a bed of coals has been established on the base of the firebox, you may adjust the draft control to a low setting to operate 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 the heater at its maximum setting, and only after the metal has been warmed.

7. For the first few days, the heater 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 heater at a very high temperature the first few times may damage the paint. Burn fires at a moderate level the first few days.

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

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

14. Green or wet wood is not recommended 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.

15. If you have been burning your heater 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.

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

17. 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 heater hot enough to keep your glass clean and you won’t need to clean your flue as often.

CREOSOTE

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapours, which when combined with moisture, form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool flue 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.

WARNING: Things to remember in case of a flue fire:

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

Ways to Prevent and Keep Unit Free of Creosote

1. Burn heater with the draft control wide open for about 10-15 minutes every morning during burning season.
2. Burn heater 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.
4. A small hot fire is preferable to a large smouldering one that can deposit creosote within the system.
5. The flue and flue connector should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine is a creosote buildup has occurred.
6. Have flue system and unit cleaned by competent flue 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) it should be removed to reduce the risk of a flue fire.

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.

MAINTENANCE

It is very important to carefully maintain your heater, including burning seasoned wood and maintaining a clean heater and flue system. Have the flue cleaned before the burning season and as necessary during the season, as creosote deposits may build up rapidly. Moving parts of your heater require no lubrication. The integrity of all heater parts including baffle plates, cast iron liners, fire bricks, air tubes, air bars, door rope seals, and door glass is imperative for the correct operation and longevity of your Regency Wood heater. They should be inspected on a regular basis and replaced if they show any signs of undue wear or damage. Failure of any of these components can damage the heater and void warranty.

GLASS MAINTENANCE
Your Regency heater is supplied with 5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass 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.
Allow the heater to cool down before cleaning the glass, do not clean the glass when it is hot.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.

DOOR LATCH ADJUSTMENT

The door latch may require adjustment as the door gasket material compresses over time.
Follow the steps below to allow the latch to be moved closer to the door frame, causing a tighter seal.

1. Carefully remove the split pin, Latching Sleeve and pin from the handle
2. Spin the door handle anti-clockwise (when looking at the front of the door) to the required depth
3. Re-install the split pin, Latching Sleeve & pin into the handle
4. Adjust the Set Screw to the proper depth to ensure the handle cannot rotate 360 degrees.

Maintenance

Note : Thermodisc (temp. switch) in the fan control circuit. Heater/ Thermodisc must come up to operating temperature for fan to operate. See page 8
