PAIRING THE REMOTE HANDSET AND CONTROL BOX ID CODE
The Remote Control Handset has a set of unique ID codes that is pre-programmed into its memory. This set of ID codes helps to di󰀨erentiate one Remote
Control Handset from another so that only the control box with a matching ID code will respond to the appropriate Remote Control Handset.
To match the control box, the following steps are to be followed:
1. Ensure the Remote is switched OFF.
2. Remove main power to the control box.
3. Reconnect main power to the control box.
4. Press and hold the PROG and FAN buttons simultaneously. The temperature display will show the letters “LC” momentarily indicating the ID codes
have been transmitted
5. The display will revert back to the normal o󰀨 mode display.
6. Release both the PROG and FAN buttons.
The control box will only learn the Remote ID codes during the rst 30 seconds after power is applied and will ignore this special command from the
Remote after the rst 30 seconds
Note: The pairing up process can be carried out by anyone.
Note: In addition; please also go to: www.regency-re.com.au to see the pairing up video.

combustible steel stud support added.
The seven fireplace opening standoffs which are located on this unit can
be removed when non combustible material is installed flush with the unit.
(see P. 13).
Non-combustible finishing material on the top and sides must also be used.

INSTALLING A TV / ARTWORK FLUSH WITH THE UNIT
Note: All wiring should stay free and clear of the vent system to avoid damage due to heat, if located directly in front of the vent system.
Ensure wiring is secured without any sag.
Heat deflector must overhang front of TV by 51mm.
Follow mantel clearance chart for install height and heat deflector depth.
Note: The TV mounting bracket can not be secured directly to the appliance. It must be secured to framing. The TV depicted in the picture may need to be
higher depending on the style of TV mounting bracket used. The mounting bracket shown is a simple single strip TV secured to framing.

1127mm W as shown below.
940mm

2. Bend both side nailing strips from the side of the appliance until
positioned as shown below.
Determine the overall combined thickness of the non-combustible board
+ finished material being used. The nailing strips can be adjusted up to
38mm.
Remove top nailing strip and recycle.
3. Adjust the nailing strips by loosening 2 screws on each nailing strip -
adjust and retighten screws.
NOTE: depending on the finishing material used.
4. Attach both vertical studs (468-025) to the vertical timber studs and
secure using 6 screws (2 at bottom, 2 at top and 2 on sides) as shown.
NOTE: Ensure the flat side of the steel stud is facing the timber framing.

5. Secure horizontal steel header stud (468-039) with 2 screws per side as
per diagram.
6. Slide the unit into position. Hook up gas, flueing, electrical and
conversion kit (if purchased) prior to installing the remaining steel studs.
7. Secure the upper horizontal steel stud (468-039 as shown with 2
screws per side.
8. Secure the top large horizontal stud (468-027) with 2 screws per side
as shown. Bring finishing material to the edge of the top framing lip on
large stud (468-027).

NON COMBUSTIBLE FACING INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Prior to installation of non-combustible materials by oth-
ers, check and inspect carefully for any hairline cracks and
or damage to board. The non combustible board must be
a minimum of 12mm thick and comply with AS1530-1 and
AS1530-3. Material which is thinner may crack as a result
due to the high temperatures this appliance emits.
1. Using screws for use with non-combustible boards-secure non-
combustible material around unit, framing and top nailing strip every
150mm
Important Note:To avoid cracking the board-pre-drill holes prior
to securing to unit/framing.
2. Wipe any debris/dust from the non-combustible material and dry wall.
3. Prior to securing, it is mandatory to prime the facing and edges using
a quality primer. This will ensure proper adhesion of the tape, filler and
paint.
Failure to follow this procedure will result in cracked seams.
4. Tape the seams using a mesh type tape.
5. Fill seams as normal. Avoid using filler which shrinks excessively.
Filler must be cured as per manufacturer's recommendations.
6. Prime wall for a second time for proper adhesion of paint.
7. Paint walls using a high quality paint which will withstand the high
temperatures being emitted from this appliance.
IMPORTANT
Regency Fireplace Products are designed, produced, tested and
certified to the highest industry standards. The finishing of the walls
surrounding Regency is as critical as the installation itself. The tem-
peratures around linear gas fireplaces are typically higher than would
be acceptable for the combustible materials. Your Regency Fireplace
is no exception to this rule. Therefore, the units are specified with
non-combustible required materials to specific dimensions above and
around the units. This is due to these areas reaching higher temperature
levels than required/acceptable for a combustible material. To obtain
the best, most durable finish around your fireplace, this calls for a high
level of care and attention to the preparation and finish around this
appliance, using only the highest quality materials, able to withstand
the temperatures produced.
By following the installation instructions in the manual exactly, you will
increase your chances for a damage free finish.
Every precaution is taken in providing the recommendations on prepara-
tion and finish, given the variation in paint quality, with temperature limits
and workmanship applied to or used in any application surrounding
the fireplace. This includes framing as well as finishing.
Over time natural convection from any fireplace can cause discoloration
in the area directly above the appliance. Lower quality paints, under
prepared finishes, poor applications and any framing discrepancies or
in the installation can cause this discoloration process to be expedited.
Discoloration is not the responsibility of Regency Fireplace Products,
we believe careful attention to the recommendations provided here will
be result in aesthetically pleasing result free of issues outlined above.
NOTE: When applying 12mm minimum non-combustible board to frame-
work it is advisable to use the same 12mm minimum non-combustible
board on the whole front face of the wall.
When using a standard fascia cut out the clean edge trim opening plus
a further 10 mm border.
When using a 15mm finishing trim cut out the clean edge trim opening
plus a further 4mm border.
When using painted 12mm minimum non-combustible board as finished
wall surface use 15mm finishing trim.
When using clean edge trim do not seal heater to finished wall material.
The above will allow for possible expansion and contraction.

FRAMING & FINISHING (CLEAN FINISH INSTALLATIONS ONLY)
Note: When constructing the framed opening, please ensure
there is access to install the gas lines when the unit is
installed.
2. For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as
the rest of the house, apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local
installation codes. (Do not insulate the fireplace itself and/or the
flueing. Clearances must be maintained as per this manual.)
WARNING: Failure to insulate and add vapor barriers to the
inside of the exterior wall will result in operational and per-
formance problems including, but not limited to: excessive
condensation on glass doors, poor flame package, carbon,
blue flames etc. These are not product related issues.
3. The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. You
must maintain clearances from the flue to combustible materials:
See "Clearances" section. Combustible materials can be laid
against the side and back standoffs and the appliance base.
4. Non-combustible material (ie. tile, slate, etc) may be brought up to
and overlap the unit (top and bottom) ensuring that the maximum
thickness does not go beyond the 38mm as shown in the diagram
below. The faceplate will not be able to be mounted if finished
material is beyond 38mm.
1. Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material.
IMPORTANT:The framed opening must be of non-combustible
material.
Ensure front of facing material is flush
with the edge of the flange on the
fireplace.
