To the New Owner:
Congratulations!
You are the owner of a state-of-the-art Gas Fireplace by REGENCY®. The GF1500LST has been designed to provide you with
all the warmth and charm of a wood replace at the ick of a switch. The model GF1500LST has been approved by IAPMO

the many features of your Regency®Fireplace.
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.
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.
To match the control box to the remote, the following steps are to be followed;
1. Remove a battery from the remote handset.
2. Remove main power to the control box by turning o󰀨 the isolation switch or switch o󰀨 the GPO to the heater.
3. Wait 30 seconds (approx.)
4. Reconnect main power to the control box.
5. Immediately put the battery back in the remote and point hte remote in the general direction of the heater.
6. Press and hold the PROG and FAN buttons simultaneously. The display will show the letters "LC" momentarily indicating the ID codes have been
transmitted.
7. Release both the PROG and FAN buttons.
8. The display will revert back to the normal o󰀨 mode display. The heater should start—ignition and fan, even though the remote screen says the heater is o󰀨.
9. Press the OFF button on the remote. The heater should turn o󰀨.
10. Wait approximately 30 seconds, turn on again and check that all the functions work—fan speed can be adjusted, ame height can be adjusted, etc.
Note: The pairing up process can be carried out by anyone.
Note: In addition; please also go to: www.regency-re.com.au "Care and Tip video" to see the pairing up video.
Note: In an event of power failure when power is restored, the unit will initiate an automatic restart sequence if the remote is still indicating that the heater is on.
