TEST FOR FLUE
SPILLAGE
A " spillage" test must be made before the
installedunitisleftwiththecustomer.Follow
the procedure below:
1) Start all exhaust fans in the home and then
close all external doors and windows in the
house.
2) Light the unit and set controls to maximum.
Turn fan off.
3) After five minutes, test that there is a “pull”
on the flue by placing a smoke match,
cigarette or similar device which gives off
smoke,in frontofthe spilltube.Toensurea
validtest,placeascrappieceofsheetmetal
(orothernoncombustiblematerial)between
the spill tube and the upper louvre, this will
prevent the natural convection of the unit
from interfering with the test. See diagram

FLUEING
THEAPPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECT-
ED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING A SEPA-
RATE SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.
This appliance is designed to attach to a 100
mm diameter twin skin or listed gas fuel type
fluelinerrunningthefulllengthofthechimney.A
minimumflueheightof3.6 m.isrecommended.
The Regency Inbuilt Fireplace incorporates
its own internal draft diverter, so no additional
external draftdiverter is required.
Periodically check that the flue is unrestricted
and an adequate draft is present when the unit
is in operation. (See page 7 for spillage test.)
Before installing flue system ensure that the
damper plate is open and secure to prevent
the damper plate from falling down and crush-
ing the liner.
Install to AS5601-2004,(Australia) NZS 5261
(New Zealand).
Combustion and Ventilation Air
WARNING: This appliance needs
freshairforsafeoperationandmust
be installed with provisions for ad-
equate combustion and ventilation
air available to the room in which it
is to be operating.
Air for combustion is drawn in through the front
of the unit, therefore, the front of the unit must
be kept clear of any obstructions.
GAS PRESSURE TEST
The unit is preset to give the correct gas input
at the specified manifold pressures shown on
the label. The maximum gas manifold pressure
is:
NG 0.9 kPa
LPG 2.65 kPa
Themanifoldpressureiscontrolledbyaregulator
builtintothegascontrol,andshouldbechecked
at the pressure test point. The pressure check
should be carried out with the unit burning and
the setting should be within the limits specified.
DRAFT DIVERTER
CONNECTION
1) Attach the flue to the flue collar on the
detachable draft diverter. The flue collar of
the appliance will fit inside a standard flue
and may be fastened directly to the flue by
sheet metal screw. Diagram 1.
2) Before pushing the appliance into position
inside the fireplace, align the draft diverter
with the guides on the insert top and push
forward. While pushing the unit back into
placekeep pullingthe draftdiverter forward
until the screw hole in the spill tube aligns
with the screw hole in the top of the firebox.
Thescrewissecuredthroughtheinsidetop
of the firebox into the bottom of the spill
tube. (If screw holes do not line up then
draft diverter is not positioned correctly.)

will automatically shut off the supply of gas
within 5 - 10 minutes. Tampering with the
switch can result in carbon monoxide (CO)

FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your stove is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is
properly cured, it is recommended that you
burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours
the first time you use it with the fan on. When
first operated, the unit will release an odour
caused by the curing of the paint, the burning
off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
Smoke detectors in the house may go off at
this time. Open a few windows to ventilate the
room for a couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning after the
unit has cooled down.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS
WHILE IT IS HOT.
Note: When the glass is cold and the appli-
anceislit,itmaycausecondensation
andfogtheglass.Thiscondensation
is normal and will disappear in a few
minutes as the glass heats up.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.

After the unit has been turned off and the unit
cooled to below a useful heat output range the
fan will shut off automatically.
NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS OF
GAS APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds
fromyourgasappliance.Thisisperfectlynormal
due to the fact that there are various gauges
and types of steel used within your appliance.

Blower:
Regencygas appliances usehightech blowers

unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" sound
whenON.This soundwillincrease or decrease
in volume depending on the speed setting of
your fan speed control.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a differ-
ent gauge material from the rest of the firebox

pliance, door and louvres with a
dampcloth. Neveruseanabrasive
cleaner. The gold louvres (and op-
tional gold door) may be scratched
ifabrasivesareusedtocleanthem.
The heater is finished in a heat
resistant paint and should only be
refinished with heat resistant paint
(not with wall paint). Regency uses

for proper position and condition.
Visually check the flame of the
burner periodically, making sure
the flames are steady; not lifting or
floating. If there is a problem, call
an authorised service person.
4) The appliance and flueing system
must be inspected before use, and
at least annually, by an authorised
field service person, to ensure that
the flow of combustion and ventila-
tion air is not obstructed.
During the annual service call, the
burnersshouldberemovedfromthe

5) Keep the area near the appliance
clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flam-
mable vapours and liquids.
