INSTALLATION
WARNING: FAILURE TO INSTALL THIS APPLI¬
ANCE CORRECTLY MAY CAUSE A SERIOUS
HOUSE FIRE AND WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Provide adequate clearances for servicing, proper
operation and around the air openings into the com¬
bustion chamber. Adequate combustion and ventila¬
tion air must also be provided.
The appliance must be installed on a flat, solid,
continuous surface (e.g. wood, metal, concrete). This
may be the floor, or it can be raised up on a platform
to enhance its visual impact. If the appliance is going
to be installed on carpeting, tile or other combustible
material other than wood flooring, the appliance must
be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the
full width and depth of the appliance. The Regency
Freestanding Gas Stove can be installed in a wide
variety of ways and will fit nearly any room layout. It
may be installed in a recessed position, framed out
into the room, or across a comer.
The ULTIMATE Gas Heater is approved for alcove
installations, which meet the clearances listed below.
This unit can be installed in a bedroom, when installed
with a millivolt thermostat. This unit is not approved
for mobile home installations.
We recommend that you plan your installation on
paper using exact measurements for clearances and
floor protection before actually installing this appli¬
ance. If an existing chimney is not utilized, position
the appliance to allow free passage of factory-built
listed chimney through the ceiling and roof. Have a
qualified building inspector review your plans before
installation.

INSTALLATION
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES OPTIONAL OUTSIDE AIR
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.
Outside air is now an option for Gas Stoves. Outside
air for combustion can be brought in either through the
bottom of the pedestal or through the rear plate of the
pedestal.
For example, if the appliance is set as indicated in one
of the figures but the connector is too close, move the
stove until the correct clearance to the connector is
obtained.
This appliance may be installed only with the clear¬
ances as shown in the situations pictured. Do not
combine clearances from one type of installation with
another in order to achieve closer clearances, f
Use the minimum clearances shown in the diagrams
below for installation with "B" vent.

INSTALLATION
DRAFT HOOD
The heater has a draft hood built into its back. It must
not be altered, obstructed, or blocked in any way, and
the unit must be installed so that the draft hood is in
the same atmospheric pressure zone as the combus¬
tion air inlet to the burner.
VENTING
This heater is a vented appliance and must be con¬
nected to a chimney/flue in accordance with the
installation codes.
Note: The rear cover plate is only attached when
outside air is being used. If using room air for
combustion, remove the cover plate from the back
of the pedestal.
For your safety this heater is equipped with a vent
safety switch designed to sense incorrect venting and
react by shutting down the gas supply. This thermally
actuated switch is located within the draft hood and
will detect either a blocked chimney or backdraft
condition where the chimney flow has reversed. If this
switch is closing the unit down, it indicates a drafting
problem - the thermally actuated switch must never
be by-passed or disconnected as a hazardous or
deadly condition can result.
Venting Requirements
A minimum four inch diameter vent is required. 13-
Vent, Class A or Masonry with an approved liner are
all acceptable. For cosmetic or aesthetic purposes 5"
or 6" outer vent can be used as long as an approved
inner vent is installed. Fasten the B-Vent to the
bracket on the top of the stove with one sheet metal
screw but do not penetrate the inner sleeve of the B-
Vent when tightening the
screw.
Attach the flue
mounting bracket
with the enclosed
screw as shown in hole at
the diagram. rear of stoVB top
Flue Mounting Bracket
Screw
Flue Mounting
Bracket
Follow all venting manufacturer’s requirements and
local building codes. In cold climates, we recommend
the use of insulated B-vent, chase, and liners. For
altitudes above 2000 ft. we recommend that a mini¬
mum flue height of 12 ft. is used. A wind cap is recom¬
mended for wind turbulent sites when flue spillage is
noted.
Common Venting
Venting into a common vent that also vents a
liquid fuel: When venting the appliance into a chim¬
ney or common vent used for a liquid fuel appliance,
the vent connector entrance into the chimney of the
gas appliance must be above that of the other, regard¬
less of input. However, a branch fitting (available from
the same chimney manufacturer) located as close as
practical to the chimney can be used to connect the
vent connector of the gas appliance to that of the vent
connector of the other fuel.
Venting appliance of unequal input: When venting
two gas appliances of unequal input into a chimney or
common vent, the entrance of the vent connector of
the appliance having the smaller input shall be located
higher than that of the larger input appliance; or
wherever possible the common vent closer to or
directly over the small appliance connector.
Venting appliances of equal input: When venting
two gas appliances of equal input into a chimney or
common vent, the two vent connector locations into
the chimney or common vent cannot be made oppo¬
site or adjacent to each other at the same level.
However, they may be "Y"-ed into the chimney or
common vent or located in a staggered position.
Installation into Existing Woodstove
Flue System
1) Clean existing chimney system.
2) Run an approved 4” flex liner or
“B" vent into existing
chimney.
The space between the
finer and class "A"
should be sealed at the
top to prevent cold air
infiltration.
NOTE: See the chimney systems
manufacturer for detailed installa¬
tion instructions.

INSTALLATION
GAS CONNECTION
The gas connection is a 3/8" SAE 45° flare elbow
fitting and is easily accessible by removing the pedes¬
tal cover plate. The gas line can be rigid pipe or to
make installation easier, use a listed flexible connector
and manual shut-off valve if allowed by local building
codes. 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 1/2 psig, this appliance and its individual shut¬
off valve must be disconnected from the piping
system. If test pressures equal to or less than 1/2
psig are used then this appliance must be iso¬
lated from the piping system by closing its indi¬
vidual manual shut-off valve during the testing.
A1/8" NPT plugged tapping is provided on the gas
control valve. It is located near the outlet to the Main
Burner immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the appliance, and is easily accessible
for a test gauge connection (see diagram on page 10).

TEST FOR FLUE SPILLAGE
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 diagrams below.
The smoke should be drawn into the draft hood, 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 draft hood, turn the unit off and check for
the cause of the lack of draft. If necessary, seek
expert advice.
For wind turbulent sites, a wind cap may remedy
the problem.
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 within about 10 minutes. If the
heater turns off because of this during the spill¬
age test, check for the cause of the lack of draft
and if necessary, seek expert advice.
The thermally actuated safety switch must be
manually reset after the stove has reduced in
temperature. The switch will continue to cycle
until the draft problem is corrected.
OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROL
INSTALLATION
Use the Regency Remote Control Kit ( Part # 910-
282) approved for this unit. Use of other systems may
void your warranty.
OPTIONAL WALL THERMOSTAT
INSTALLATION
A wall thermostat may be installed if desired, follow
the wiring diagram below. The thermostat is not
supplied by Regency, use a CSA, ULC or UL ap¬
proved millivolt thermostat, 250-75- millivolt rated. A
non-anticipator type thermostat is recommended.

MAINTENANCE
AUTOMATIC CONVECTION FAN
OPERATION
The fan operates automatically, push the rocker
switch on the side of the pedestal to either "HIGH" or
"LOW" for fan 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.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always turn off the valve before cleaning. For re¬
lighting, refer to lighting instructions. Keep the
burner and control compartment clean by brush¬
ing and vacuuming at least once a year.
When cleaning the logs, use a soft clean paint
brush as the logs are fragile and easily damaged.
2) Clean glass (never when unit is hot), appliance,
louvers and door with a damp cloth. Never use an
abrasive cleaner. The gold louvers (and optional
gold door) may be scratched 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. Visually check the flame of
the burner periodically, making sure the flames
are steady; not lifting or floating. If there is a
problem, call a qualified service person.
4) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually, by a
qualified field service person, to ensure that the
flow of combustion and ventilation air is not
obstructed.
During the annual service call, the burners should
be removed from the burner tray and cleaned.
Use' the remaining embers that were saved during
the installation to replace especially dirty or
fragmented embers. Do not block the pilot.
WARNING: CHILDREN AND ADULTS SHOULD
BE ALERTED TO THE HAZARDS OF HIGH
SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND SHOULD STAY
AWAY TO AVOID BURNS OR CLOTHING IGNI¬
TION. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE CARE¬
FULLY SUPERVISED WHEN THEY ARE IN THE
SAME ROOM AS THE APPLIANCE.
CAUTION: ANY SAFETY SCREEN OR GUARD
REMOVED FOR SERVICING AN APPLIANCE
MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO OPERATING
THE APPLIANCE.
CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON OR NEAR THE
APPLIANCE.
6) Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause con¬
densation 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.
7) Periodically check the pilot flames, there should
be three strong blue flames approx. 1/2" long -1
flame to the front burner, 1 to the rear burner and
1 to the thermopile. See diagrams below.
If you have an incorrect flame pattern, contact
your Regency dealer for further instructions.
Correct flame pattern has three strong blue
flames: 1 flowing around the thermopile and
ignitor electrode, 1 flowing across the rear
burner and 1 reaching towards the front
burner (it does not have to be touching the
burner).

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 perform¬
ance which is not covered under warranty.
Gold-Plated Doors
The 24 carat gold plated finish on the door requires
little maintenance, and need only be cleaned with a
damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive materials or
chemical cleaners, as they may harm the finish and
void the warranty. Clean any fingerprints off before
turning the unit on. If the door starts to discolor,
check the gasket seal and replace if necessary.
Door Gasket and Glass Gasket
If the door gasket requires replacement use 7/8"
diameter oval door gasket (Part # 650-920). The glass
requires 5/8" flat glass gasket (Part # 846-530). See
your Regency Dealer.
Glass Replacement
Your Regency stove is supplied with high tempera¬
ture, 5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass that will with¬
stand the highest heat that your unit will produce. In
the event that you break your glass by impact, pur¬
chase your replacement from an authorized Regency
dealer only, and follow our step-by-step instructions
for replacement.
Glass Removal
1) Remove the door from the unit and place on a soft
surface to prevent scratching.
2) Pull out the door gasket.
3) Remove the nuts holding the glass retainers in
place.
4) Remove the glass retainers (sides, top and
bottom) and the door catch plate.
5) Replace the glass. The glass must have gasket¬
ing around it.
6) Reverse the previous steps, replace the retainers
and fasten with the nuts but do not overtighten, as
this can break the glass. Note: the door catch
plate fits on top of the left side retainer.
7) Put gasket glue on the retainers, but do not put
glue on the screws. Replace the door gasket, the
two ends butt tight together on the bottom edge of
the door.
8) Replace door on the stove and check the seal.
