HIGH ELEVATION  
The U38 (with 40,000 BTU rating) is approved  
in Canada for altitude 2000 ft. to 4500 ft. (CAN/  
CGA-2.17-M91) with the orifice kit (Part # 591-  
975). For Natural Gas installations above 4500  
ft. follow current CAN/CGA-B149.1.  
Installation into Existing  
Woodstove Flue System  
Venting Requirements  
In U.S.A., for installations above 2000 ft. refer  
tocurrentANSIZ223.1Sc8-8.1.2aappendixF,  
for resizing orifice.  
A four inch diameter vent is required. B-Vent,  
ClassAorMasonrywithanapprovedlinerare  
all acceptable. For cosmetic or aesthetic pur-  
poses 6" outer vent can be used as long as an  
approved inner vent is installed. Fasten but do  
not penetrate the inner sleeve of the B-Vent  
when tightening the screw.

Followallventingmanufacturer’srequirements  
and local building codes. In cold climates, we  
recommendtheuseofinsulatedB-vent,chase,  
and liners. For altitudes above 2000 ft. we  
recommend that a minimum flue height of 12 ft.  
is used.

For relighting, refer to lighting instructions.  
Keep the burner and control compartment  
clean by brushing and vacuuming at least  
once a year. When cleaning the logs, use  
a soft clean brush as the logs are fragile  
and easily damaged.  
Your Regency stove is supplied with high  
temperature, 5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass  
that will withstand the highest heat that your  
unit will produce. In the event that you break  
your glass, purchase your replacement from  
anauthorizedRegencydealeronly,andfollow  
the step-by-step instructions for replacement.  
Never operate your unit with broken  
glass.  
DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF

2) Clean glass (never when unit is hot), ap-  
pliance, louvers, and door with a damp  
cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner. The  
gold louvers (and optional gold door) may  
be scratched if abrasives are used to  
clean them.  
WARNING: Do not operate appliance with  
the glass front removed, cracked or bro-  
ken. Replacement of the glass should be  
done by a licensed or qualified service  
person.  
6) Verify proper operation after servicing.
