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

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 temperatures 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 preparation
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.

FRAMING & FINISHING
Note: It is benecial to install the unit, gas connection and ue
to the unit prior to the wall facing being 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 replace itself.)
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 ame package, carbon,
blue ames 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 ue 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 nished material is beyond 38mm.

NOTES:
1 Where dimension c, j or k cannot be achieved an equivalent horizontal distance measured diagonally from the
nearest discharge point of the terminal to the opening may be deemed by the Technical Regulator to comply.
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.

FLUEING INTRODUCTION
The GF1500L uses the "balanced ue" 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 ue 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 ue system. Common ue 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 90oelbow).
Note: Must use optional rigid pipe adapter (Part# 770-994) 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 - otherwise rigid system 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 ue restrictor from the factory setting of Set 0 to Set 1 if required.
