INSTALLATION Regency Inserts are constructed with the highest quality materials and assembled under strict quality control procedures that ensure years of trouble free and reliable performance. CHIMNEY SPECIFICATIONS It is important that you read this manual thoroughly and fully understand the installation and operating procedures. Failure to follow instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.
INSTALLATION MASONRY AND FACTORY BUILT FIREPLACE CLEARANCES The minimum required clearances to combustible materials when installed into a masonry or factory built fireplace are listed below.
INSTALLATION INSTALLING YOUR INSERT STOP! PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. CAST COMPONENTS ARE VERY FRAGILE. USE EXTREME CARE WHEN HANDLING. Your insert is very heavy and will require two or three people to move it into position. When handling cast parts, please handle with care as they can be damaged. 1) Open door to a 45° angle 2) Holding door firmly from top and bottom - lift door up and off to remove. 3) Lift the unit up onto the Hearth and slide into the fireplace opening.
INSTALLATION 6) Install the unit by first setting the rear of the unit into the fireplace. See diagram 3. Ensure that the unit is centered in the existing fireplace and lined up with the flue adaptor. 10) Ensure that the unit is still level.
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION INTO A MASONRY FIREPLACE When referencing installation or connection to masonry fireplaces or chimneys, the masonry construction must or shall be code complying. The insert must be installed as per the requirements of your local inspection authority. Three methods of flue connection are acceptable in most areas, these include: 1) Positive flue connection, where a large blocking plate and a short connector pipe is used.
INSTALLATION STAINLESS STEEL SMOKE DEFLECTOR INSTALLATION The stainless smoke deflector is located in the upper front area of the firebox. The deflector is held in place with 2 bolts Prior to the first fire, ensure deflector is seated properly and secured with 2 hand tightened bolts. Ensure defector is seated so bolts are situated at the top of the keyhole before tightening.
INSTALLATION CAST FACEPLATE INSTALLATION Stop! Read Carefully. Cast components are very fragile. Use extreme care when handling. CI1250 Only 1) Open the door to about 45°- then remove it from the hinge by lifting up and out. Put door to the side on a soft surface. Note: Door is heavy. 3) Install fan controls into left surround with 2 screws as shown below. Note: Left side faceplate (when facing unit) will have a notch on the side as shown below.
INSTALLATION 7) Loosen the two (2) top screws (with 3/16" allen key) on the left and right brackets on the unit as shown below. 11) Remove the two (2) bolts from the lower part of the brackets on the unit - see diagram below. 12) CI1250 only - Move the damper control lever to the right so it is out of the way. Note: If the fan power cord needs to be re-routed to the right side of the unit - go to step 16, before installing the lower cast surround piece.
INSTALLATION 15) Reinstall door. 16) The fan cord can be re-routed to the right side of the unit if necessary. Before installing the lower cast surround - run the cord between the left cast surround and the unit. Then run the cord along the lower part of the lower cast surround and out in between the right cast and the unit. 17) With the cord re-routed, follow steps 13-15 to complete the installation.
INSTALLATION 3 PIECE BACKING PLATE INSTALLATION An optional backing plate is available in either a standard or custom size. 1) The backing plate is packaged in three pieces and requires assembly. The legs of the backing plate are attached to the top plate with 2 screws on each side. See diagram 1 below. 3) Install 2 clips to the back of the top cast faceplate with hex bolts.
INSTALLATION DOOR REVERSAL 1) The door can be reversed - so that it will open to the left. Make sure stove has cooled to room temperature. Open the door to about 45°- then remove it from the hinge by lifting up and out. Note: Door is heavy. 6) Remove the glass from the door and flip it around 180° - so the painted strip is at the bottom of the door. 7) Flip the handle around 180° and reattach to the door with 2 botls. 2) Remove the 2 bolts securing the door hinge to the unit.
INSTALLATION DRAFT CONTROL BRICK FLUE BAFFLE & SECONDARY AIR TUBE INSTALLATION 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: To build a fire in ignorance or to disregard the information contained in this section can cause serious permanent damage to the unit and void your warranty. FIRST FIRE When your installation is completed and inspected, you are ready for your first fire. 1) Open draft control fully. 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FAN OPERATION CORD REVERSAL (CS1250 ONLY) 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. The fan must not be turned on until a fire has been burning for at least 30 minutes.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ASH DISPOSAL 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. DO NOT ALLOW ASHES TO BUILD UP TO THE LOADING DOORS. 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.
MAINTENANCE DOOR GASKET GLASS REPLACEMENT 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. Allow the stove to cool before removing or replacing glass. Remove the door from the stove and remove the glass retainer. Use caution when removing broken glass to avoid injury.
MAINTENANCE HANDLE REPLACEMENT FAN MAINTENANCE TO REMOVE THE FAN 1) Remove handle by undoing the hex head bolt using a 7/16" socket wrench. 1) See next page. 2) Fit new door handle over door latch and secure. Maintenance: The sealed bearings are lubricated, there is no need to lubricate them further. (Extra 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.
MAINTENANCE FAN REMOVAL CI1250 ONLY Prior to removing fan, disconnect / unplug power source to fan 5) Remove fan from unit. 1) Open door to a 45° angle 2) Holding door firmly from top and bottom - lift door up and off to remove. Note: Door is heavy. 6) Remove 3 screws to remove fan heat shield. 3) Remove two (2) screws (with 3/16" Allen Key) to remove lower cast surround - set aside on a soft surface. 7) Slide back the protect sheath on the wiring - disconnect the black, red and white wires.
MAINTENANCE Annual Maintenance Completely clean out entire unit Annually Inspect air tubes, baffles and bricks Replace any damaged parts.
