National Building Code of Canada, or the appli-
cable local code requirements.
It is important that you read this manual thor-
oughly and fully understand the safe installa-
tion and operating procedures. The more you
understand the way your Regency Insert op-
erates, the more enjoyment you will experience
from knowing that your unit is operating at peak
performance.
11) A permanent metal warning label must be
attached to the back of the fireplace stating
that the fireplace must be restored to its
original condition for safe use with out the

In order for a solid-fuel insert to be certified for
use in factory-built fireplaces, the above infor-
mation must be clearly stated in the installation
manual and appropriate markings. Final ap-
proval is contingent on the authority having
jurisdiction.
BEFORE INSTALLING
YOUR INSERT
The appliance, when installed, must be electri-
cally grounded in accordance with local codes
or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the

INSTALLATION
The use of one of the connection methods
listed on this page not only increases the safety
of your 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.

methods of flue connection are acceptable in
most areas, these include:
When a connected 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.
1) Positive flue connection, where a large
blocking plate and a short connector pipe 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).
2) Direct flue connection, where a smaller
blocking plate and a connector pipe to the
first flue liner tile is used.
INSTALLATION INTO A
FACTORY BUILT
FIREPLACE
1) Thread the bolt and washer through the
leg, and then into the nutsert in the base
of the stove and tighten.
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.
1) When installed in a factory built fireplace,
afullstainlesssteelrigidorflexibleflueliner
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.
2) Level the stove by adjusting the levelling
bolts in the bottom of each leg.
Regency highly recommends the use of a full
liner as the safest installation and provides the
mostoptimumperformance. Yourretailershould

be the best for your application.
2) Inordertopositiontheflueliner,theexisting
rain cap must be removed from your chim-
ney system. In most cases the flue damper
should also be removed to allow passage
of the liner.
NOTE: Adding the legs
changes the height of
the unit, make sure you
have sufficient clear-
ance (min. 28") for your
flue connection.
3) In most cases opening the existing spark

Note: It may be easier to install the insu-
lation, faceplate top and faceplate
trim with the unit pulled slightly
away from the fireplace face. If
this is done, be very careful not to
disturb the connector when shift-
ing the unit to its final position.
1) Fasten the faceplate mounting bracket to
the side of the insert (one on each side)
using the screws provided (2 screws per
bracket). Diagram 1.

INSTALLATION
FLOOR PROTECTION
Please check to ensure that your floor protec-
tion and hearth will meet the standards for
clearance to combustibles. Your hearth ex-
tension must be made from a non-combustible
material.
The flue baffle system located in the upper area
of the firebox is removable to make cleaning
your chimney system easier. The brick baffles
must be installed prior to your first fire. Smoke
spillage and draft problems may occur if
the baffles are improperly positioned.
Check the position of the brick baffles on a
regular basis as they can be dislodged if too
much fuel is forced into the firebox.
FIREBRICK ASSEMBLY
Firebrick is included to extend the life of your
insert and radiate heat more evenly. Check to
see that all firebricks are in their correct
positions and have not become misaligned
during shipping.
3) Important: push both baffle bricks so
they are tight against the side walls.
The Large Insert I3100L is shipped with two of
the secondary air tubes loose inside the fire-
box. They need to be installed after the brick
baffle are installed. Follow the directions be-
low.

drafting problems may occur. Consult an
experienced dealer or mason on methods
of increasing your draft.
When your installation is completed and in-
spected, you are ready for your first fire.
1) Open draft control fully.
11) Some cracking and popping noises may be
experienced during the heating up proc-
ess. These noises will be minimal when
your unit 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.
Switching from "Auto" to "Manual" or "High" to
"Low" may be done at any time.
2) Open firebox door and build a small fire
using 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
draft fully for approximately 10 to 15 sec-
onds until fire has been re-established. This
will minimize any smoking.
CAUTION: Never leave unit unat-
tended if door is left open. This
procedureisforfirestart-uponly,as
unit may over-heat if door is left
open for too long.
ASH DISPOSAL
13) All fuel burning appliances consume oxy-
genduringoperation. Itisimportantthatyou
supply a source of fresh air to your unit
while burning. A slightly opened window is
sufficient for this purpose.
During constant use, ashes should be re-
moved 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.
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.
CAUTION:Ifthebodyofyourunit(or
in the H2100M flue baffle) starts to
glow you are overfiring. Stop load-
ing fuel immediately and close the
draftcontroluntiltheglowhascom-
pletely subsided.
DO NOT ALLOW ASHES TO BUILD UP TO
THELOADINGDOORS.
Only remove ashes when the fire has died
down. 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
draftcontrolmaybeadjustedtomaintainthe
fire.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container
with 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 closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly 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) If you have been burning your insert 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.
6) During the first couple of hours, keep the
combustion rate at a moderate level and
avoidalargefireuntilthepaintiscured.Only
then can you operate the insert at its max-
imum setting, and only after the metal has
been warmed.
SOME SAFETY
GUIDELINES
16) The controls of your unit should not be
altered to increase firing for any reason.
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.
FAN OPERATION (ALL
UNITS)
7) For the first few hours, the insert will give
off an odor 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
temperature the first few times may dam-
age the paint. Burn fires at a moderate level
the first few days.
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.
Thefanunitmustnotbeturnedonuntilafirehas
beenburningforatleast30minutesandtheunit
is hot enough. As well, after each fuel loading
the fan must be shut off until 30 minutes has
elapsed.
8) Do not place anything on the insert top
during the curing process. This may result
in damage to your paint finish.
4) Ifyouhavesmokedetectors,preventsmoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
5) Do not overfire your insert. If the insert or
its flue baffle begin to glow, you are over-
firing. Stop adding fuel and close the draft
control. Overfiring can cause extensive
damage to your stove including warpage
and premature steel corrosion. Overfiring
will void your warranty.
9) During the first few hours it may be more
difficult to start the fire. As you dry out your
fire brick and your masonry flue (if applica-
ble), 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.

MAINTENANCE
6) Donotpermitcreosoteorsootbuildupinthe
chimney system. Check and clean chimney
at regular intervals.
Removal for Cleaning etc.
DOOR LATCH
ADJUSTMENT
Removal of your insert for cleaning purposes
is usually not required if a proper installation
has been done. In the event that removal is
required, be sure not to damage any parts
needed for re-installation. In most cases re-
moval 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.
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.
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
about 15 minutes every morning during
burning season. This helps to prevent
creosote deposits within the heating sys-
tem.
GLASS CLEANING
11) Do not connect your unit to any air distribu-
tion duct.
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.
12) Your insert should burn dry, standard fire-
wood only. The use of “mill ends” is dis-
couraged as this fuel can easily overheat
your insert. Evidence of excessive over-
heating 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.
2) Burn insert with draft control wide open for
about 10 - 15 minutes every time you add
fresh wood. This allows the wood to
achieve the charcoal stage faster and
burns up any wood vapors which might
otherwise be deposited within the system.
GLASS
REPLACEMENT
3) Only burn seasoned wood! Avoid
burning wet or green wood. Seasoned
wood has been dried at least one year.
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 -
purchase your replacement from an authorized
Regency dealer only, and follow our step-by-
step instructions.
13) Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet from
your unit.
4) A small hot fire is preferable to a large
smouldering one that can deposit creosote
within the system.
14) Do not burn salt drift wood as it will corrode
your unit and void the warranty.
5) Check the chimney at least twice a month
during the burning season for creosote
build-up.
15) Do not operate the unit if the glass is broken
or missing. Do not operate the unit if the
gasketing is worn out and not sealing the
door or the glass.
GLASS REMOVAL
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.
Allow the stove to cool before removing or
replacing glass. Remove the door from the
insert and remove the glass retainer. Use
caution when removing broken glass to pre-
vent injury.
It is very important to carefully maintain your
insert, 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 insert require no lubrica-
tion.
MAINTENANCE OF
GOLD-PLATED DOORS
Whenplacingthereplacementglassinthedoor,
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.
The gold electroplated finish on the doors
requires little maintenance, and need only be
cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abra-
sive materials or chemical cleaners, as they
may harm the finish and void the warranty.
CREOSOTE
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar
and other organic vapors, which form creosote
when combined with moisture. The creosote
vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney
flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creo-
sote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
When ignited, this creosote can make an ex-
tremely hot fire.
DOOR GASKET
If the door gasket requires replacement, 7/8"
diameter material must be used. A proper high
temperature gasket adhesive is required. A
gasket repair kit, Part # 846-570 is available
from your local Regency dealer.
