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.

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

chimney/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

Thisapplianceisequippedwithathree

pronged (grounding) plug for your

protection against shock hazard and

erlygroundedthree-prongreceptacle.

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.

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-

nectedfromthepiping system. If testpressures equal to

orless than3.45 kPaare usedthen thisappliancecan 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. Thelogs

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

theﬂuesafetyshutoffsystemcanresult incarbonmonoxide (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:Iftheﬂueisblockedorhasastrongreverseﬂow,thethermally

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.
