Regency Freestanding Woodstove

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and
other organic vapours, which when combined
with moisture, form creosote. The creosote va-
pours condense in the relatively cool chimney
ue of a slow burning re. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the ue lining. When
ignited, this creosote can result in an extremely
hot re.
Burn stove with the draft control wide open
for about 10-15 minutes every morning
during burning season.
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.
Avoid burning
wet or green wood. Seasoned wood has
been dried at least one year.
A small hot re is preferable to a large
smouldering one that can deposit creosote
within the system.
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.
It is very important to carefully maintain your
replace stove, including burning seasoned
wood and maintaining a clean stove and chim-
ney 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.
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 occured.
The gold electroplated nish on the door requires
little maintenance, and need only be cleaned
with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive ma-
terials or chemical cleaners, as they may harm
the nish and void the warranty.
The door latch may require adjustment as the
door gasket material compresses after a few
res. Removal of the spacer washer, shown
in the diagram below, will allow the latch to be
moved closer to the door frame, causing a tighter
seal. Remove and replace the nuts, washer and
spacer as shown.
If the door gasket requires replacement 7/8" diam-
eter material must be used. Regency uses AMATEX
# 10-863KR 7/8" dia. gasket (Part #846-570). A
proper high temperature gasket adhesive is
required. See your Regency Dealer.
Your Regency stove is supplied with 5 mm
Neoceram ceramic glass (Part #846-302) 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 Installation section).
Allow the stove to cool down before cleaning
the glass, do not clean the glass when it is hot.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
