PEDESTAL ASSEMBLY
1) For easier assembly, tip the stove on its back (preferably onto a
soft surface to prevent scratching).
2) Unscrew the 4 bolts in the underside of the stove. Align the holes
in the corners of the pedestal top with the corresponding holes in
the base of the stove. Use washers which are supplied with the
pedestal as shown in diagram. Reinstall bolts.
3) Push the Regency®logo into the two holes in the front bottom left
corner of the pedestal cover plate.
Note: Any paint touch up should be done prior to placing logo
on pedestal.
4) See wiring instructions below.
Diagram 1
INSTALLATION
2) If required, adjusting the primary air to ensure that the flame does
not carbon. First allow the unit to burn for 15-20 min. to stabilize.
3) Check for proper draft.
CAUTION:Any alteration to the product that causes sooting or carboning
that results in damage is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
The clearances listed below are MINIMUM distances. Measure the
clearance to both the appliance and the chimney connector. The
farthest distance is correct if the two clearances do not coincide. For
example, if the appliance is set as indicated in one of the diagrams but
the back wall is too close, move the stove until the correct clearance
to the connector is obtained.
This appliance may be installed only with the clearances as shown
in the situations pictured. Do not combine clearances from one type
of installation with another in order to achieve closer clearances. Use
the minimum clearances shown in the diagrams.

INSTALLATION
Pedestal & Leg/Bottom Shield
Wiring Instructions
1) Disconnect the fan harness plug.
2) Disconnect the 240V power cord from the terminal block
3) Disconnect the three wires from the 3-way fan switch.
4) Install the 3-way fan switch into the Bottom Shield or Pedestal.
Note: remove dummy switch first.
5) Install the power cord through the small hole in the rear of the
Bottom Shield or Pedestal
6) Re-connect the power cord to the terminal block.
7) Ground the power cord and mount the terminal block if required.
8) Re-connect the 3 wires back to the 3-way fan switch (the white
wire is the middle connection).
9) Connect the yellow wire from the gas valve to the Burner
2-way switch supplied with the Bottom Shield or Pedestal.
10) Connect the orange wire from the spill switch to the Burner ON/OFF

DRAFT HOOD
The heater has a draft hood built into its back. It must not be altered
or obstructed, and the unit must be installed so that the draft hood is
in the same atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet
to the burner.
FLUEING
This heater is a vented appliance and must be connected to a chim-
ney/flue in accordance with installation codes.
For your safety this heater is equipped with a flue safety switch. This
thermally actuated switch is located within the draft hood and will detect
INSTALLATION
either a blocked chimney or backdraft condition where the chimney
flow has reversed and will react by shutting off the gas supply.
Note: The spill switch is manually resettable and comes from
the factory in the open position. Before trying to start
up the unit, make sure the red button on the spill switch
is pushed in.
FLUEING REQUIREMENTS
100mm diameter flue is required in accordance with AS5601-2004,
NZS 5261 or any relevant local building codes. For altitudes above
610m. we recommend that a minimum flue height of 3.6m is used.
WIRING
CAUTION:
Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing controls.
Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation.
WARNING: Electrical Grounding
Instructions
This appliance is equipped with a three
pronged (grounding) plug for your
protection against shock hazard and
should be plugged directly into a prop-
erly grounded three-prong receptacle.
Do not cut or remove the grounding
prong from this plug.
No electrical power supply is required for the
gas control to operate. However, a 240V A.C.
power supply is needed for the fan/blower
operation.
Caution: Ensure that the wires do not
touch any hot surfaces and are away
from sharp edges.

SYSTEM DATA
NG LPG
Injector size # 36 # 52
Input Rating 33 mj 33 mj
Manifold Pressure 0.8 kPa 2.38 kPa
GAS PIPE PRESSURE TESTING
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 3.45 kPa. Disconnect piping from valve at pressures over
3.45 kPa.
The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator built into the gas
control, and should be checked at the pressure test point.
Note: To properly check gas pressure, both inlet and manifold
pressures should be checked using the valve pressure
ports on the valve.
1) Make sure the valve is in the "OFF" position.
2) Loosen the "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s), turning counter-
clockwise with a 1/8" wide flat screwdriver.
3) Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s) using a
5/16" ID hose.
GAS CONNECTION
The gas connection is a 1/2 inch BSP Male thread. The gas line can
be rigid copper pipe. Pipe size to ensure correct operating pressure.
For minimum and maximum supply pressure see the System Data
table below.
Note: During any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system that exceeds test pressures of 3.45 kPa, this ap-
pliance and its individual shut-off valve must be discon-
nected from the piping system. If test pressures equal to
or less than 3.45 kPa are used then this appliance can be
isolated from the piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve, if fitted, during the testing.
INSTALLATION IS TO BE CARRIED OUT
ONLY BY AN AUTHORISED PERSON
4) Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON" position.
5) The pressure check should be carried out with the unit burning
and the setting should be within the limits specified on the safety
label.
6) When finished reading manometer, turn off the gas valve, discon-
nect the hose and tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" flat
screwdriver. Screw should be snug, but do not over tighten.

LOG AND EMBER INSTALLATION
WARNING: Dangerous operating conditions may occur if these
logs are not positioned in their approved locations. Read the
instructions below carefully and refer to the diagrams. If logs are
broken do not use the unit until they are replaced. Broken logs
can interfere with the pilot and burner operation.
The gas log kit contains the following:
a) Front Log
b) Rear Log
c) Small Cross Logs (2)
d) Bag of embers
e) Bag of rock wool
1) Remove the logs from the box and carefully unwrap them. The logs
are fragile, handle with care. Do not force into position.
2) Place the rear deflector on the rear log support pins in the back of
the unit.
3) Place the rear log into the rear of the firebox, aligning the holes on
the underside of the log with the rear log support pins and carefully
push the log down onto the pins. See diagrams 1 and 2.
4) Ensure the front deflector is over front log pins. See diagram 1.
5) Place the front log in the front of the unit, aligning the holes on the
underside of the log with the log support pins in the front of the
unit. Carefully push the log down onto the pins. See diagram 1.
6) Place the cross logs on top of the larger logs aligning the holes on
the underside of the cross log with the log pins in the larger logs.
See diagrams 1 & 2. Carefully push the cross logs onto the pins.

TEST FOR FLUE SPILLAGE
This heater must be properly connected to a flue system.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected to a
properly installed and maintained flue system or tampering with
the flue safety shutoff system can result in carbon monoxide (CO)
poisoning and possible death.
A “spillage” test must be made before the installed unit is left with the
customer. Follow the procedure below:
1) Start all exhaust fans in the home and then close all doors and
windows in the room.
2) Light the unit and set controls to maximum.
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,
on the edge of the draft hood. See Diagram below.
The smoke should be drawn into the draft hood. If the smoke is still
not drawn into the draft hood, turn the unit off and check for the cause
of the lack of draft and rectify before proceeding.
Note: If the flue is blocked or has a strong reverse flow, the thermally
actuated safety switch mounted in the draft hood will automatically
shut off the gas supply in less than 10 minutes. If the heater turns
off because of this during the spillage test, check for the cause
of the lack of draft and rectify before proceeding.
To reset the thermally actuated safety switch, let the unit cool for
10 minutes, then press the red reset button on the back of the
switch. See Diagram.
