Important Safety Data:
Please read this entire Owner’s Manual before installing or operating your Regency Pellet Stove.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, bodily injury or even death. Any
unauthorized modification of the appliance or use of replacement parts not recommended by the
manufacturer is prohibited.
Contact your local building or fire official to obtain a permit and any information on installation restrictions and
inspection requirements for your area. All local regulations, including those referring to national and European
Standards need to be complied with when installing this appliance.
To prevent the possibility of a fire, ensure that the appliance is properly installed by adhering to the installation
instructions. An Regency dealer will be happy to assist you in obtaining information with regards to your local

The stove’s exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a slightly positive chimney
pressure. It is very important to ensure that the exhaust system be sealed and airtight. The ash pan and viewing
door must be locked securely for proper and safe operation of the pellet stove. Operating with door open could
cause a fire inside the house as well as the release of carbon monoxide into the living space.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas, to prevent it from poisoning you or your family know the
symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, sleepiness, nausea, vomiting, and
confusion. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss
of consciousness and death.
Do not burn with insufficient combustion air. A periodic check is recommended to ensure proper combustion air is
admitted to the combustion chamber. Setting the proper combustion air is achieved by adjusting the slider damper
located on the left side of the stove.
When installing the stove in a mobile home, it must be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the home and
bolted to the floor. Make sure that the structural integrity of the home is maintained and all construction meets
local building codes.
Consider all large air moving devices when installing your unit and provide room air accordingly. NOTE: Extractor
fans when operating in the same room or space as the appliance, may cause problems. Limited air for combustion
may result in poor performance, smoking and other side effects of poor combustion.
Soot or creosote may accumulate when the stove is operated under incorrect conditions such as an extremely rich
burn (black tipped, lazy orange flames).
Be sure to maintain the structural integrity of your home when passing a vent through walls, ceilings, or roofs.
It is recommended that the unit be secured into its position in order to avoid any displacement. This appliance
must be installed on a floor with an adequate load bearing capacity. If an existing construction doesn’t meet these
prerequisite, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) shall be taken to achieve it.
FRESH AIR: Outside Fresh Air connection is optional. Fresh Air must be connected to all units installed in Mobile
Homes and Air Tight Homes (R2000) or where required by local codes.
If you have any questions with regards to your stove or the above-mentioned information, please feel free to
contact your local dealer for further clarification and comments.
