1) Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuels,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or similar liquids
to start or ‘freshen up’ a fi re in your heater. Keep
all such liquids well away from the heater while
it is in use.
2) Keep the door closed during operation and
maintain all seals in good condition.
3) Do not burn any quantities of paper, garbage, and
never burn fl ammable fl uids such as gasoline,
naptha or engine oil in your stove.
4) If you have smoke detectors, prevent smoke
spillage as this may set off a false alarm.
5) Do not overfi re heater. If the chimney connector,
fl ue baffl e or the stove top begin to glow, you
are overfi ring. Stop adding fuel and close the
draft control. Overfi ring can cause extensive
damage to your stove including warpage and
premature steel corrosion. Overfi ring will void
your warranty.
6) Do not permit creosote or soot build-up in the
chimney system. Check and clean chimney at
regular intervals. Failure to do so can result in
a serious chimney fi re.
7) Your Regency stove can be very hot. You may be
seriously burned if you touch the stove while it is
operating, keep children, clothing and furniture
away. Warn children of the burn hazard.
8) The stove consumes air while operating, provide
adequate ventilation with an air duct or open a
window while the stove is in use.

ing another appliance.

for supporting fuel. Burn directly on the bricks.

prior to slowly opening the door when refuelling

duct.
13) Your woodstove must burn dry, seasoned-
standard fi rewood only. The use of cut lumber,
plywood, “mill ends”, coal, charcoal etc. is
prohibited as this fuel can easily overheat your
woodstove. Evidence of excessive overheating
will void your warranty. As well, a large portion of
sawmill waste is chemically treated lumber, which

chemically treated fi re logs and wet/green wood
also must not be burned in your woodstoves.

TO REMOVE THE FAN:
Reverse Steps 5-2 in fan installation section.
Maintenance: The sealed bearings are lubricat-
ed, there is no need to lubricate them further. (Ex-
tra lubricant will cause more lint and dust buildup
- causing the bearings to prematurely fail).
Regular cleaning and vacuuming of the fan area
will add to the life of the motor.
IMPORTANT:
These fans collect a lot of dust from within your
home. Ensure you maintain these fan motors
on a regular basis by vacuuming
the fan blades and housing using a soft brush
nozzle.
