INSTALLATION
LEG OPTION ON H2100
HEARTH HEATER
The addition of legs to the Hearth Heater does
not alter its certification, it does not become a
freestanding woodstove. The H2100 can only
be installed as a Hearth Heater i.e. vented into
a masonry or factory built fireplace.
INSTALLATION INTO A
MASONRY FIREPLACE
When referencing installation or connec-
tion to masonry fireplaces or chimneys, the
masonry construction must or shall be code
complying.
In Canada this fireplace insert must be in-
stalledwithacontinuouschimneylinerof6"
diameterextendingfromthefireplaceinsert
tothetopofthechimney.Thechimneyliner
must conform to the Class 3 requirements
ofCAN/ULC-S640,StandardforLiningSys-
tems for New Masonry Chimneys.
The insert must be installed as per the require-
ments of your local inspection authority. Three
methods of flue connection are acceptable in
most areas, these include:
Note: A clean-out door is sometimes
required, by your inspector, to be
installedwheneitherthePositiveflue
connection or Direct flue connection
method is used.
The instructions below apply to the steel leg,
painted cast leg and the gold plated cast leg.
It will be easier to attach the legs to the stove
if it is tipped on its back (preferably on a soft
surface to prevent scratching).
1) Positive flue connection, where a large
blocking plate and a short connector pipe
is used.
Theuseofoneoftheconnectionmethodslisted
onthispagenotonlyincreasesthesafetyofyour
insert by directing the hot gases up the flue, but
will also help increase the unit's efficiency and
decrease creosote deposits in the chimney.
1) Thread the bolt and washer through the
leg, and then into the nutsert in the base
of the stove and tighten.
2) Direct flue connection, where a smaller
blocking plate and a connector pipe to the
first flue liner tile is used.
2) Level the stove by adjusting the levelling
bolts in the bottom of each leg.
When a connected flue or liner is in use, the
insert is able to “breathe” better by allowing a
greaterdrafttobecreated. Thegreaterdraftcan
decrease problems such as, difficult start-ups,
smoking out the door, and dirty glass.
3) Full flue liner, where a stainless steel rigid
or flexible liner pipe is routed from the insert
outlet collar to the top of the chimney.
Regency highly recommends the use of a full
liner as the safest installation and provides the
mostoptimumperformance. Yourretailershould
be able to help you decide which system would
be the best for your application.
INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
1) When installed in a factory built fireplace, a
full stainless steel rigid or flexible flue liner
is mandatory, for both safety and perform-
ance 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 start-ups, smoking out the door,
and dirty glass.
NOTE: Adding the
legs changes the
height of the unit,
make sure you have
sufficient clearance
(min. 28") for your flue
connection.
1) Positive Flue
Connection
2) Direct Flue
Connection
2) In order to position the flue liner, the exist-
ing 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.

1) Slide the spring nuts (supplied) over the
slots in the insert’s side convection panels
(the spring nuts may need to be squeezed
with a pair of pliers first, to help them stay
in position).
Note: It may be easier to install the insula-
tion, faceplate top and faceplate trim

very careful not to disturb the con-
nector when shifting the unit to its
final position.
2) Assemble the faceplate sides and top with
4 screws (see Diagram 2).
2) Screw the side faceplate panels, (item A in
Diagram 4) one to each side.
3) Using the top panel (item B in the diagram)
as a gauge, check that the side panels are
withinapproximately1/4"oftheoverallwidth.
If the difference is greater than this, use
the supplied washers to attain the required
width.
Now that your insert is installed, check once
more that all the clearances from the unit to
any combustible materials are correct as listed
earlier.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
10) Forthoseunitsinstalledathigherelevations
automatic temperature sensor will engage the
blower when the unit is at temperature and will
shut off the blower once the fire has gone out
and the unit has cooled to below a useful heat
output range.
FIRST FIRE
When your installation is completed and in-
spected, you are ready for your first fire.
or into sub-standard masonry fireplaces,
drafting problems may occur. Consult an
experienced dealer or mason on methods
of increasing your draft.
1) Open draft control fully.
11) Some cracking and popping noises may be
experienced during the heating up process.
Thesenoiseswillbeminimalwhenyourunit
reaches temperature.
To manually operate the fan system, push the
first switch to "Man" and second switch to either
"high" or "Low". This will bypass the sensing
device and allow full control of the fan. Switch-
ing from "Auto" to "Manual" or "High" to "Low"
may be done at any time.
2) Openfireboxdoorandbuildasmallfireusing
paper and dry kindling, 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.
12) Before opening your door to reload, open
draftfullyforapproximately10to15seconds
until fire has been re-established. This will
minimize any smoking.
ASH DISPOSAL
CAUTION: Never leave unit unat-
tended if door is left open. This
procedure is for fire start-up only,
as unit may over-heat if door is left
open for too long.
During constant use, ashes should be removed
every few days. Please take care to prevent the
build-up of ash around the start-up air housing
located inside the firebox, under the loading
door lip.

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 this purpose.
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.
DO NOT ALLOW ASHES TO BUILD UP TO
THE LOADING DOORS.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit
(or in the H2100M flue baffle) starts
to glow you are overfiring. Stop
loading fuel immediately and close
the draft control until the glow has
completely subsided.
Onlyremoveasheswhenthefirehasdieddown.
Even then, expect to find a few hot embers.
Always leave 1 to 2 inches of ash in the bottom
of the firebox. This helps in easier starting and
a more uniform burn of your fire.
4) After about 15 to 20 minutes, when your
wood has begun to burn strongly, adjust
your draft control down to keep the fire at a
moderate level.
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.
Ashesshouldbeplacedinametalcontainerwith
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
closedcontaineruntilallcindershavethoroughly
cooled. Other waste should not be placed in
the ash container.
WARNING: Never build a roaring
fire in a cold stove. Always warm
your stove up slowly!
5) Once a bed of coals has been established,
you may adjust the draft control to a low
settingtooperatetheunitinitsmostefficient
mode.
15) Ifyouhavebeenburningyourinsertonalow
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.
6) During the first couple of hours, keep the
combustion rate at a moderate level and
avoid a large fire until the paint is cured.
Only then can you operate the insert at its
maximum setting, and only after the metal
has been warmed.
SOME SAFETY
GUIDELINES
1) 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.
16) Thecontrolsofyourunitshouldnotbealtered
to increase firing for any reason.
7) For the first few hours, the insert will give
off an odour from the paint. This is to be
expected as the high temperature paint
becomesseasoned. Windowsand/ordoors
should be left open to provide adequate
ventilation while this temporary condition
exists. Burning the insert at a very high
temperaturethefirstfewtimesmaydamage
the paint. Burn fires at a moderate level the
first few days.
FAN OPERATION
(ALL UNITS)
The fan is to be operated only with the draft
control rod pulled out at least 1/2" from the
fully closed position. The fan is not to be
operated when the draft control rod is in the
closed position (pushed in). The fully closed
position is the low burn setting.
2) Keep the door closed during operation and
maintain all seals in good condition.
3) Donotburnlargequantitiesofpaperinyour
insert.
4) Ifyouhavesmokedetectors,preventsmoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
8) Do not place anything on the insert top
during the curing process. This may result
in damage to your paint finish.
The fan unit must not be turned on until a fire
has been burning for at least 30 minutes and
the unit is hot enough. As well, after each fuel
loading the fan must be shut off until 30 minutes
has elapsed.
5) Do not overfire your insert. If the insert or its
flue baffle begin to glow, you are overfiring.
Stop adding fuel and close the draft control.
Overfiring can cause extensive damage to
yourstoveincludingwarpageandpremature
steel corrosion. Overfiring will void your
warranty.
9) During the first few hours it may be more dif-
ficult to start the fire. As you dry out your fire
brick and your masonry flue (if applicable),
your draft will increase.
To operate fan automatically, push switch on
side of fan housing to "Auto" and second switch
to either "High" or "Low" for fan speed. The

Removal for Cleaning etc.
DOOR LATCH
ADJUSTMENT
The door latch may require adjustment as the
door gasket material compresses after a few
fires. 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 as shown.
Removal of your insert for cleaning purposes
is usually not required if a proper installation
has been done. In the event that removal is re-
quired,besurenottodamageanypartsneeded
for re-installation. In most cases removal and
replacement of the baffle system should allow
full access for cleaning.
7) Your Regency Insert can be very hot. You
may be seriously burned if you touch the
insert while it is operating. Warn children of
the burn hazard.
8) The insert consumes air while operating,
provide adequate ventilation with an air
duct or open a window while the insert is
in use.
WARNING: Thingstorememberincase
of chimney fire:
1) Close draft control
2) Call the Fire Department
9) Do not use grates, irons or other methods
for supporting fuel. Burn directly on the
bricks.
Ways to Prevent and
Keep Unit Free of Creosote
10) Open the draft control fully for 10 to 15
seconds prior to slowly opening the door
when refuelling the fire.
1) Burn insert with draft control wide open for
about15minuteseverymorningduringburn-
ing season. This helps to prevent creosote
deposits within the heating system.
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.
11) Do not connect your unit to any air distribu-
tion duct.
2) Burn insert with draft control wide open for
about 10 - 15 minutes every time you add
freshwood.Thisallowsthewoodtoachieve
the charcoal stage faster and burns up any
wood vapors which might otherwise be
deposited within the system.
12) Your insert should burn dry, standard fire-
woodonly.Theuseof“millends”isdiscour-
aged as this fuel can easily overheat your
insert. Evidence of excessive overheating
will void your warranty. As well, a large
portion of sawmill waste is chemically
treated lumber, which is illegal to burn in
many areas. Chemically treated fire logs
also must not be burned in your insert.
GLASS
REPLACEMENT
Your Regency Insert 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

5) Check the chimney at least twice a month
during the burning season for creosote
build-up.
15) Donotoperatetheunitiftheglassisbroken

GLASS REMOVAL
Allowthestovetocoolbeforeremovingorreplac-
ing glass. Remove the door from the insert and
remove the glass retainer. Use caution when
removing broken glass to prevent injury.
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 needed.
It is very important to carefully maintain your
insert, including burning seasoned wood and
maintainingacleanstoveandchimneysystem.
Have the chimney cleaned before the burning
seasonandasnecessaryduringtheseason,as
creosotedepositsmaybuilduprapidly. Moving
parts of your insert require no lubrication.
MAINTENANCE OF
GOLD-PLATED DOORS
The gold electroplated finish on the doors
requires little maintenance, and need only be
cleanedwithadampcloth.DONOTuseabrasive
materials or chemical cleaners, as they may
harm the finish and void the warranty.
When placing the replacement glass in the
door, make sure that the glass gasketing will
properly seal your unit. Replace the retainer
and tighten securely, but do not wrench down
on the glass as this may cause breakage. Do
not substitute materials. If your glass door does
break, do not continue to use your unit until it
has been replaced.
CREOSOTE
