To the New Owner:
Congratulations!
You are the owner of a state-of-the-art Gas Fireplace by REGENCY®. The Bellavista™ B36XTCE has been designed to
provide you with all the warmth and charm of a wood fireplace at the flick of a switch. The Bellavista™ B36XTCE has been
approved by Warnock Hersey/Intertek for both safety and efficiency. As it also bears our own mark, it promises to provide you
with economy, comfort and security for many trouble free years to follow. Please take a moment now to acquaint yourself with
these instructions and the many features of your Regency® Fireplace.
ON DEMAND PILOT LIGHT (SEVEN DAY SAFETY TIMER)
Important information if using the appliance in CPI (continuous pilot mode) only.
This appliance is a ProFlame 1 system fitted with the “On Demand” Pilot, a safety feature which will shut down the gas valve completely by
extinguishing the pilot light in the event of a continuous full seven days of inactivity.
This only applies if the CPI (continuous pilot) switch is in the “on” position.
Each time the main burner shuts down, manually or through the call from the thermostat, the seven day timer starts again.
The seven day inactivity timer is controlled within the circuit board. Therefore, if in CPI mode and when the pilot light is extinguished after seven
straight days of inactivity, the IPI/CPI rocker switch will remain in the “on” position. Therefore, all that is required to relight the pilot would be
to press the on/off button on the remote control transmitter from “on” to “off” and back to “on”. Once the pilot has re-established operation will
resume as normal. There is no requirement to do anything with the IPI/CPI rocker switch.
If the unit never goes as long as seven full days without a call for heat, the pilot will remain lit until it is manually shut-off.
If the unit is being operated in IPI (intermittent pilot) mode, neither the above instructions nor the seven day timer will apply.
See the instructions in this manual and on the Lighting Instructions plate on the appliance to light or re-light the pilot.

down procedure.
A) This appliance is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the pilot.
Do not try to light the pilot by hand.
B) BEFORE OPERATING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the fl oor
because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the fl oor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
- Do not try to light any appliance.

OPERATING PROCEDURE
Initializing the System for the first time
Power the receiver. Press the PRG button located on the top right hand
corner of receiver, see the receiver instruction (*). The Receiver will
“beep” three (3) times to indicate that it is ready to synchronize with a
Transmitter. Install the 3 AAA type batteries in the Transmitter battery bay,
located on the base of the Transmitter. (fig. 3) With the batteries already
installed in the Transmitter, push the On button. The Receiver will “beep”
four times to indicate the Transmitter’s command is accepted and sets
to the particular code of that Transmitter. The system is now initialized.
(*) The receiver may be independent or integral to the IFC hearth ap-
pliance control module. The receiver instruction may not be indepen-
dent when part of the IFC.

Smart Thermostat (Transmitter Operation)
The Smart Thermostat function adjusts the flame height in accordance
to the difference between the set point temperature and the actual room
temperatures. As the room temperature gets closer to the set point the
Smart Function will modulate the flame down.
To activate this function, press the Thermostat Key (Fig. 1) until the word
"SMART" appears to the right of the temperature bulb graphic (Fig. 11).
To adjust the set temperature, press the Up or Down Arrow Keys until
the desired set temperature is displayed on the LCD screen of the
Transmitter (Fig. 12).
Note. When Smart Thermostat is activated, manual flame height adjust-
ment is disabled.

Fan Speed Control**
If the appliance is equipped with a hot air circulating fan, the speed of
the fan can be controlled by the Proflame system. The fan speed can be
adjusted through six (6) speeds. To activate this function use the Mode Key
(fig.1) to index to the fan control icon (Fig. 13). Use the Up/Down Arrow
Keys (fig.1) to turn on, off or adjust the fan speed (fig. 14). A single “beep”
will confirm reception of the command.

LOW BATTERY POWER DETECTION
Transmitter
The life span of the remote control batteries depends on various factors:
quality of the batteries used, the number of ignitions of the appliance,
the number of changes to the room thermostat set point, etc.
When the Transmitter batteries are low, a Battery Icon will appear on the
LCD display of the Transmitter (Fig. 22) before all battery power is lost.
When the batteries are replaced this Icon will disappear.
Figure 19
CPI/IPI Switch
This appliance comes equipped with a CPI/IPI switch.
The functions of both the CPI/IPI switch are as follows:
Continuous pilot (CPI) - A pilot that, once placed in operation, is intended to remain ignited
continuously until it is manually interrupted.
Intermittent pilot (IPI) - A pilot that is automatically ignited when an appliance is called on to
operate and which remains continuously ignited during each period of main burner operation. The
pilot is automatically extinguished when each main burner operating cycle is completed
The mode of the fireplace is easily changed from an intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI) to a
continuous pilot ignition system (CPI) by using the silver toggle switch located on the fireplace.
(See noted location of CPI/IPI Switch)
The benefits of having CPI are as follows:
-Keeps venting primed for trouble free start-up under colder weather conditions or inversions.
-Keeps the unit glass warm, which decreases the amount of condensation on start-up.
-Provides owners with flexibility to choose a traditional continuous pilot. (7 day/Pilot on Demand)
The primary benefit of having the IPI function is a significant savings on fuel as the pilot will only
run when there is a call for heat.
ENABLE / DISABLE functions on the Proflame I remote only.
1. Remove one battery from the remote.
2. Press and hold both the ON/OFF and the MODE button at the same time
3. Reinstall the battery (removed in Step 1) while still holding both buttons (keep holding both
buttons and once all batteries are installed then release the MODE button only).
4. The screen will show CFG.
5. Use the up or down arrow button to program out the function on the remote.
Note: You should never program out the fan (If installed) feature on the remote.
It is not possible to remove the thermostat mode on this remote control.

The Surefire switch is located above the valve.
This can be accessed by removing the bottom

if these clearances (air space) to combustible materials are not
adhered to. It is of greatest importance that this fireplace and vent
system be installed only in accordance with these instructions.
CLEARANCES
The clearances listed below are minimum distances unless otherwise stated.
A major cause of chimney related fires is failure to maintain required clearances (air space) to combustible materials. It is of the greatest importance
that this fireplace and vent system be installed only in accordance with these instructions.

MANTEL CLEARANCES
Note: Ensure the paint that is used on the mantel and the facing is "High Quality" or the paint may discolour.
Due to the extreme heat this fireplace emits, the mantel clearances are critical. Combustible mantel clearances from top of front facing are shown in
the Diagram on the right.
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be installed at a lower height if the framing is made of metal studs covered with a non-
combustible board. The non-combustible mantle when installed at a lower overall height may not be lower than 6 inches
from the top of the fireplace opening.
