To the New Owner:
Congratulations!
You are the owner of a state-of-the-art Gas Fireplace by REGENCY®. The GF1500L has been designed to provide you with
all the warmth and charm of a wood replace at the ick of a switch. The model GF1500L has been approved by AGA for
both safety and efciency. 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.
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.
