6) Use solid fuel only. DO NOT use artifi cial logs
containing petroleum products, chemical
chimney cleaners, gas logs, gas lighters,
salt contaminated wood or fl ame colorants
in your fi replace. When using compressed
sawdust logs use only at 1/3 capacity since
these get very hot and expand.
7) DO NOT use charcoal or coal under any
circumstances.
8) NEVER use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern
fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fl uid, or any
liquid to start or “freshen up” a fi re in this
fi replace. Keep any fl ammable liquid a safe
distance from the fi replace.
9) Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight-fi tting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible fl oor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials,
pending fi nal 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.
10) WARNING: Only operate fi replace with
doors fully open when optional fi re screen
is used.
11) NEVER leave children unattended when
there is a fi re burning in the fi replace.
12) Allow the fi replace to cool before servicing.
Always shut-off any electricity to the fi replace
while working on it. This will prevent any
possible electrical shock.
13) Regency is not responsible for any
smoking or related problems that
may result from the lack of adequate
combustion air. It is the responsibility
of the installer to ensure that adequate
combustion air has been provided for
the fi replace.
