GAS CONNECTION
For minimum and maximum supply pressure see the System
Data table on page 8.
Note: Prior to any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system that exceeds test pressures of 1/2
psig (3.45 kPa), this appliance and its individual
shut-offvalvemustbedisconnectedfromthepiping
system. If test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psig (3.45 kPa) are used then this appliance must
be isolated from the piping system by closing its
individualmanualshut-offvalveduringthetesting.
Valve Access: Loosen and remove the wingnuts on the both
sides of the bottom louvre and then remove the louvre.
GAS CONNECTION WARNING:
Only persons licensed to work with gas piping may make the
necessary gas connections to this appliance.
1) If the appliance is to be installed into an existing chimney
system, thoroughly clean the masonry fireplace and have
the chimney swept.
2) The gas connection is a 1/2" BSP male pipe on the
rear left side of the unit. The gas line can be rigid
pipe or to make installation easier use a listed flex-
ible connector and
manual shut-off valve
if allowed by local
building codes.A1/2"
gas supply pipe must
be brought near this inlet hole.
3) Locate the center point where the flue will pass through
the chimney above the appliance. Move the appliance
into the exact location where it is to be installed. Ensure
that the Inbuilt is level.
4) Thegascontrol valve is provided with two "IN" and "OUT"
pressure taps, and are easily accessible for a test gauge
connection (see diagram on page 10).
5) Once the gas has been connected ensure that the pilot
valve is in line with burner.
CAUTION: If the door is removed or opened for servicing,
it must be replaced and closed prior to operating the appli-

FLUEING
THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A CHIM-
NEY FLUE SERVING A SEPARATE SOLID FUEL BURNING
APPLIANCE.
Thisappliance is designed to attach toa100mm diameter flue
or approved aluminum flex liner running the full length of the
chimney. A minimum flue height of 3.6 m is recommended.
B-Vent must be supported by a flue support - supplied by flue
manufacturer. There must be at least 0.9 m of chimney above
the roof level.
Stack the pipe onto your finish support to a minimum height
of 0.9m above the roof penetration, or 0.6m above any point
within 3m measured horizontally. B-Vent chimneys require a
25mm clearance to combustibles.
TheRegencyInbuiltincorporatesitsowninternaldraftdiverter,
so no additional external draft diverter is required. Periodically
check that the flue is unrestricted and an adequate draft is
present when the unit is in operation. (See page 11 for spill-
age test.)
Before installing flue system ensure that the damper plate is
lockedintotheopenpositionandsecuretopreventthedamper
plate from falling down and crushing the liner.
INSTALLATION
DRAFT DIVERTER CONNECTION
1) Attach the flue to the flue collar on the detachable draft
diverter. The flue collar of the appliance will fit inside a
standard 100mm flue and may be fastened directly to the
flue by sheet metal screw.
2) Before pushing the appliance into position inside the
fireplace, align the draft diverter with the guides on the
inbuilt top and push forward. While pushing the unit back
into place keep pulling the draft diverter forward until the
screwhole in the spill tube-rear alignswith the screw hole
in the spill tube-front. (If screw holes do not line up then
draft diverter is not positioned correctly.) Secure the two
spill tubes with a screw.
Note: Finalgasconnectionshouldbeafterunitisinplace

Note: Any damage due to carboning resulting from
improperly setting the aeration controls is NOT
covered under warranty.
TEST FOR FLUE SPILLAGE
A “spillage” test must be made before the installed unit is left
with the customer. Follow the procedure below:
1) Startall exhaustfansinthehomeandthenclose alldoors
and windows in the room.
2) Light the unit and set controls to maximum. Turn fan off.
3) After five minutes, test that there is a “pull” on the flue by
placing a smoke match, cigarette or similar device which
gives off smoke, in front of the spill tube. To ensure a
valid test, place a scrap piece of sheet metal (or other
non-combustible material) between the spill tube and the
upperlouvre,thiswillpreventthenaturalconvectionofthe
unit from interfering with the test. See diagrams below.
The smoke should be drawn into the spill tube, if it does not,
leave the unit for a further five minutes and retest as above. If
the smoke is still not drawn into the spill tube, turn the unit off
andcheckforthecauseofthelackofdraft.Ifnecessary,rectify.
For wind turbulent sites, a wind cap may remedy the problem.
Note: The thermally activated safety switch will sense
the change in temperature and shut down the gas
valve in the event of a severe downdraft of air or a
blocked or disconnected flue. The switch acts as
a safety shut-off to prevent a build up of carbon
monoxide. If the flue is blocked or has no "draw",
the switch will automatically shut off the supply of
gaswithin5-10minutes.Tamperingwiththeswitch
canresultincarbonmonoxide (CO)poisoningand
possible death.
If the heater turns off because of lack of draft dur-
ing the spillage test, check for the cause and if
necessary, rectify.

FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your heater is part of the paint curing process.
To ensure that the paint is properly cured, it is recommended
that you burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours the first
timeyouuseit withthefanon.Whenfirstoperated,theunit will
releasean odourcausedby thecuringofthepaint,theburning
offofanyoilsremaining frommanufacturing.Smokedetectors
in the house may go off at this time. Open a few windows to
ventilate the room for a couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning after the unit has
cooled down.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE
IT IS HOT.
Note: When the glass is cold and the appliance is lit, it
may cause condensation and fog the glass. This
condensationisnormalandwill disappearina few
minutes as the glass heats up.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT THE
GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.
AUTOMATIC CONVECTION FAN
OPERATION
The fan operates automatically, set the fan switch on the side
of the faceplate to the desired speed. The fan will turn on as
the stove comes up to operating temperature.
After the unit has been turned off and the unit cooled to below
a useful heat output range the fan will shut off automatically.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS OF
GAS APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds from your gas
appliance. This is perfectly normal due to the fact that there
are various gauges and types of steel used within your ap-
pliance. Listed below are some examples. All are normal
operating sounds and should not be considered as defects
in your appliance.
Fan:
Regency gas appliances use high tech fans to push heated
air farther into the room. It is not unusual for the fan to make
a "whirring" sound when ON. This sound will increase or
decrease in volume depending on the speed setting of your
fan speed switch.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the burner tube(s)
andlogsandismadeofadifferentgaugematerialfromtherest
of the firebox and body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of
steel will expand and contract at slightly different rates which
can cause "ticking" and "cracking" sounds. You should also
be aware that as there are temperature changes within the
unit these sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal for
steel fireboxes.
Fan Thermodisc:
When this thermally activated switch turns ON it will create
a small "clicking" sound. This is the switch contacts closing
and is normal.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot flame is on it can make a very slight "whisper"
sound.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a dull clicking
sound may be audible, this is normal operation of a gas
regulator or valve.
Unit Body/Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will expand and con-
tractatdifferentratesresultinginsome"cracking"and"ticking"
sounds will be heard throughout the cycling process.

WARNING:
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity
of this appliance.

IMPORTANT
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SERVICE ANNUALLY ONLY BY AN
AUTHORISED PERSON
1) Clean the burner and control compartment of lint and
house dust by brushing and vacuuming at least once
a year. When cleaning the logs, use a soft clean brush
as the logs are fragile and easily damaged.
During the annual service the burners should be re-
moved from the burner tray and cleaned. Replace logs
and embers as per instructions on page 13.
2) Clean glass (never when unit is hot), appliance, door and
louvreswithadampcloth. Neveruseanabrasivecleaner.
Thegoldlouvres(andoptionalgolddoor)maybescratched
if abrasives are used to clean them.
The heater is finished in a heat resistant paint and should
only be refinished with heat resistant paint (not with wall
paint). Regency uses Stove Brite Paint - Metallic Black
#6309.
3) Make a periodic check of burner for proper position and
condition.Visuallychecktheflameoftheburnerperiodically,
making sure the flames are steady; not lifting or floating.
If there is a problem, call an authorised service person.
4) The appliance and flueing system must be inspected
before use, and at least annually, by an authorised field
service person, to ensure that the flow of combustion and
ventilation air is not obstructed.
5) Keep the area near the appliance clear and free from
combustiblematerials,gasoline,aerosols,andotherflam-
mable vapours and liquids.
7) Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct flame
patflames, not coming into proper contact with the rear
burner or thermopile or thermocouple. tern has three
strong blue flames: 1 flowing around the thermopile,
1 around the thermocouple and 1 flowing across the
burner (it does not have to be touching the burner).
Incorrect flame pattern will have small, probably yellow
flames that do not come into proper contact with the rear
burner of the thermopile or thermocouple.
Note: Ifyouhaveanincorrectflamepattern,contactyour
Regency dealer for further instructions.
CHILDREN AND ADULTS SHOULD BE ALERTED TO
THE HAZARDS OF HIGH SURFACE TEMPERATURES,
ESPECIALLY THE FIREPLACE GLASS, AND SHOULD
STAY AWAYTO AVOID BURNS OR CLOTHING IGNITION.
CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON OR NEAR THE
APPLIANCE.
CAUTION: ANY SAFETY SCREEN OR GUARD REMOVED
FOR SERVICING AN APPLIANCE MUST BE REPLACED
PRIOR TO OPERATING THE APPLIANCE.
6) Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause condensation
and fog the glass. This condensation and fog is normal
and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.
Never operate the appliance without the glass properly
secured in place or with the door open.

GLASS REPLACEMENT
Your Regency stove is supplied with high temperature, 5 mm
Neoceram ceramic glass that will withstand the highest heat
that your unit will produce. In the event that you break your
glassbyimpact,purchaseyourreplacementfromanauthorised
Regency dealer only, and follow our step-by-step instructions
for replacement.
Removing Glass
Note: Wearing gloves will protect your hands while han-
dling glass.
1) Remove the safety screen (Australia only). Remove the
door from the unit and place on a soft surface to prevent
scratching.
2) Pull out the door gasket.
3) Remove the 24 nuts holding the glass retainers in place.
Do not remove the nuts underneath the retainers.
4) Remove the door catch plate.
5) Remove glass retainers on sides first (3 each side) then
remove two center retainers.
Note: Center glass retainers are glued to center glass.
6) Remove glass from extrusions. When removing center
glass, leave white insulation in place.
Note: Safety
screen in Aus-
tralia only.
LOG REPLACEMENT
The unit should never be used with broken logs. Turn off the
gas valve and allow the unit to cool before opening door to
carefully remove the logs. The pilot light generates enough
heat to burn someone. If for any reason a log should need
replacement, you must use the proper replacement log. The
position of these logs must be as shown in the diagram under
Log Installation.
NOTE: Improper positioning of logs may create
carbon build-up and will alter the unit’s performance
which is not covered under warranty.
GOLD-PLATED DOORS
The 24 carat gold plated finish on the door requires little main-
tenance, and need only be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO

GLASS GASKET
If the door gasket requires replacement use 7/8" diameter oval
door gasket . The glass requires 7/8" flat glass gasket. See
your Regency Dealer.
LATCH ADJUSTMENT
The door latch may require adjustment as the door gasket
material compresses after a few fires and after glass replace-
ment. Turn the adjustable latch to tighten or loosen the latch.
