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 differentiate 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 off 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.

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: (As per Page 11) When constructing a typical
"C" section framework, it is advisable to use the same
12mm non-combustible board on the whole front face.
Also, to cut out the clean edge trim opening (plus a
10mm border) on the non-combustible board. This
will help blend the sheeting easily and avoid cracking.

Regency GF900L-1 Gas Fireplace 13

FRAMING & FINISHING
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 vent to combustible materials:
See "Clearances" section. Combustible materials can be laid
against the side and back standoffs and the stove 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.
5) If material such as brick, stone, etc extends past the faceplate depth 38mm,
when finishing around the faceplate, the minimum opening dimensions
noted below must be adhered to ensuring for the removal of the faceplate
and for the safe operation of this appliance.
NOTE: Spacing of 25mm around the completed surround must be adhered to.

FRAMING & FINISHING
Note:
Depending on the material used for finishing, the nailing
strips must be set accordingly so that the finished material
is always at the 38mm edge of the flange.
NOTE: A minimum thickness
of 12mm non combustible
facing is required.
Note:
• The siding nailing strips are factory set at 12mm. The
top nailing strip is xed during transit to the rear of the
appliance.
• Do not place any reinforcement in front of header and
behind nishing material.
• The nailing strip must be used. It is xed during transit
to the rear of the unit.
NOTE:
The appliance must be installed
on a at, solid continuous surface,
For example., a wood, metal or
concrete oor or in a raised (on
the wall) application. The appli-
ance must be installed on a metal
or wood base extending the full
width and depth of the appliance.
NOTE:
If raising the unit, then the minimum
height measurement (A) on page

2 See Clause 6. 9. 4 for restriction on the flue terminal under a covered area.
3 See Figure J3 for clearances required from a flue terminal to an LP Gas cylinder. A flue terminal is considered
to be a source of ignition.
4 For appliance not addressed above acceptance should be otained from the Technical Regulator.
5 Minimum clearance d and e also apply to any combustion air intake openings of appliances.

Flue restriction is required for certain venting installations, see the diagrams
in the "Flueing
Arrangements" section to determine if they are required for your installation.
The Flue Restrictor plate is located on the inside top of the firebox.
To set the flue restriction as indicated in the flueing arrangements diagrams,
refer to the following instructions;
1. Remove the glass door and inner panels - see instructions in this manual.
2. Remove 6 screws (3 front - 3 back) to remove heat baffle to access restrictor
plate.
3. Remove the screws that hold the flue restrictor in place.

FLUEING INTRODUCTION
The GF900L uses the "balanced flue" technology Co-Axial system. The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the outer liner draws
outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and losing warm room air up the chimney.
Note: These ue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and flue system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or
gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own separate flue system. Common flue systems are prohibited.
FLUEING ARRANGEMENT FOR HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS
The diagram shows all allowable combinations of vertical runs with horizontal terminations, using one 90o (two 45o elbows equal one 90o elbow).
Note: Must use optional rigid pipe adapter (Part# 510-994) when using Simpson Dura Vent Only.
• Maintain clearances to combustibles as listed in "Clearances" section
• Horizontal ue must be supported every 0.9m
• A ue guard should be used whenever the termination is lower than the specied minimum or as per local codes.
• Flex system can only be used up to 3m in total length- otherwise rigid venting must be used.
FLUE RESTRICTOR SETTING:
Flue restrictor factory set at Set 0.
Refer to the "Flue Restrictor Position" section for details on how to change the vent restrictor from the factory setting of Set 0 to Set 1 if required.

HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS
RIGID PIPE 4" X 6-5/8" (102MM X 175MM)
The minimum components required for a basic horizontal
termination are:
1 Horizontal Termination Cap
1 90o Elbow
1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor (510-994)
1 Wall Thimble
1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness
(see chart)
Wall thickness is measured from the back standoffs to the
inside mounting surface of termination cap. For siding other
than vinyl furring strips may be used, instead of the vinyl siding
standoff, to create a level surface to mount the vent terminal.
The Terminal must not be recessed into siding. Measure the
wall thickness including furring strips.
If a Vinyl Siding Standoff is required (it must be used with vinyl
siding), measure to outside surface of wall without siding and
add 51mm.
When using Rigid Flue other than
Simpson Dura-Vent, 3 screws must be
used to secure rigid pipe to adaptor.
WARNING:
Do not combine flueing components from
different flueing systems.
However use of the the AstroCapTM and FPI
Riser is acceptable with all systems.
This product has been evaluated by Intertek
for using a Rigid Pipe Adaptor in conjunction
with Duravent Direct-Vent.
The FPI AstroCapTM and Regency vertical cowls are certified for installations using FPI venting systems as well as Simpson Dura-Vent® Direct Vent.
