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. 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.
INSTALLATION STOVE ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION The F3500 unit requires the pedestal attached to the base. The F3500 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.
INSTALLATION MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS Please read the section below carefully as clearances depend on whether the Airmate or the Rear Heat Deflector is installed on the stove. Measurements "From Unit" are from the top plate of the stove to a side wall or to a corner, and from the rear heat shield to a back wall. Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority.
INSTALLATION WALL EXIT CLEARANCE FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer's installation instructions must be followed. You must also purchase and install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through and "T" section package, firestops (where needed), insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer.
INSTALLATION MASONRY FIREPLACE There are listed kits available to connect a stove to a masonry fireplace. The kit is an adapter that is installed at the location of the fireplace damper. The existing damper may have to be removed to allow installation. Minimum vertical of 36" before any offset. Horizontal Maximum of 36" with 1/4" rise per foot. NOTE: Recommend using 2-45º instead of 90º to improve draft and performance. Single Double 6" 18" [457mm] [152mm] Min. 36" Vertical Rise Max.
INSTALLATION COMBUSTIBLE WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR PASS-THROUGHS Minimum chimney clearance to brick and combustibles 2 in. (50.8mm) Method A: 12" (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Method B: 9" (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall Member: Chimney Flue 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.
INSTALLATION FLOOR PROTECTION A combustible floor must be protected by non-combustible material (like tile, concrete board, or certified to UL-1618 or as defined by local codes) extending beneath the heater and a minimum of 8" (203mm) from each side and minimum 16" (406mm) from the front face of the stove and minimum 6" (or the rear clearance to combustibles whichever is smaller) from the rear of the stove.
INSTALLATION STEP-BY-STEP CHIMNEY AND CONNECTOR INSTALLATION Note: 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). 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.
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDED HEIGHTS FOR WOODSTOVE FLUE Simple rules on draft (refer to Table 1). 3) Add 4% overall for each 1000' above sea level. 1) At sea level minimum height is 12' straight. 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 one "T" Total Addition (at sea level) = 2 ft. = 4 ft. = 3 ft. = 9 ft. 2) Add the following vertical height to compensate for: 45 deg. elbow = 1 ft. 90 deg.
INSTALLATION MOBILE HOME INSTALLATION In addition to standard installation instructions the following requirements are mandatory for installation in a mobile home. For Canadian Installations: see Outside Air Kit Blanking Plate - Part # 042-909 There are futher requirements when installing this unit into a mobile home in Canada Only. 1.

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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION 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, catalytic thermostat is active, then your flue is clean and your exhaust is clean.
MAINTENANCE DO NOT BURN: • Treated wood • • • • • • • • Coal Garbage Cardboard Solvents Colored Paper Trash Salt drift wood Cut lumber, plywood, mill ends. 14. 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. 15. WARNING: Do not operate without either the Ash Plug properly seated or the Ash Dump Plates screwed in place, excessive temperatures will result. 16. CAUTION: Do not operate with broken glazing.
MAINTENANCE 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.
MAINTENANCE 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.
MAINTENANCE COMBUSTOR ASSEMBLY REMOVAL / REPLACEMENT: NOTE: If also replacing the gasket in the bypass door (see next page), remove the lid of the bypass door while it is accessible and complete steps in Bypass Door Gasket Replacement. The catalytic thermometer on top of the stove should read in the active zone after the stove has been in operation for several hours.
MAINTENANCE BYPASS DOOR GASKET REPLACEMENT 1. Allow the stove to burn out and cool down, until cool to touch. 4. Slide bypass door assembly forward, lower complete assembly with care. Lift lid on bypass door assembly to reveal gasket. 2. Open stove door to access bypass door. 4. Remove old gasket and replace with new one. 3. Remove loosen the 3 rear bolts, then remove 3 front bolts. Support from the front and slide forward to remove Bypass Door Assembly.
MAINTENANCE SECONDARY AIR TUBE REMOVAL / INSTALLATION 1. Allow the stove to burn out and cool down, until cool to touch. 2. Open stove door to access secondary air tube. DOOR CATCH ADJUSTMENT The door catch may require adjustment as the door gasket compresses after a few fires. The door catch compression may require adjustment to renew seal. Removal of the spacer washer, shown in the diagram below, will allow the catch to be moved closer to the door frame, causing a tighter seal.
MAINTENANCE Annual Maintenance Completely clean out entire unit Annually Inspect air tube, Catalytic Combustor and bricks Replace any damaged parts. Adjust door catch assembly If unable to obtain a tight seal on the door - replace door gasket seal. Readjust door catch after new gasket installed. Inspect condition and seal of: Glass Gasket Door Gasket Perform paper test - replace gasket if required Paper Test Test the seal on the loading door with a paper bill.
