INSTALLATION

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 1/2 psig. (3.45 kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pressures over 1/2 psig.

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 counterclockwise with a 1/8" wide ﬂ at screwdriver.

3. Attach manometer to "IN" and/or "OUT" pressure tap(s) using a 5/16" ID hose.

4. Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON" position. Read manometer.

5. The pressure check should be carried out with the unit burning and the setting should be within the limits speciﬁ ed on the safety label.

For minimum and maximum supply pressure see the Speciﬁ cations table.

1. If the appliance is to be installed into an existing chimney system, thoroughly clean the masonry ﬁ replace that has been chosen for the Regency

2. The appliance is provided with an opening on the left hand side of the control compartment for the gas line.

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 isolated from the piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during the testing.

CAUTION: If the glass is removed for servicing, it must be replaced prior to operating the appliance. The glass must be ﬁ xed in the closed position when operating.

Gas Fireplace.

GAS CONNECTION

Only persons licensed to work with gas piping may make the necessary gas connections to this appliance.

The gas connection is a 1/2" NPT accessible on the left side of the unit. The gas line connection may be made of rigid pipe, copper pipe or an approved ﬂ ex connector. (If you are using rigid pipe, ensure that the valve can be removed for servicing.) Since some municipalities have additional local codes it is always best to consult with your local authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 installation code.

For USA installations follow local codes and/ or the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

When using copper or ﬂ ex connectors use only approved ﬁ ttings. Always provide a union so that gas lines can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and ﬂ ex connectors are usually considered to meet this requirement.

Important: Always check for gas leaks with a soap and water solution or gas leak detector. Do not use open ﬂ ame

for leak testing.

6. When ﬁ nished reading manometer, turn

off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8" ﬂ at screwdriver. Note: Screw should be

snug, but do not over tighten.

VENTING

THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING A SEPARATE SOLID FUEL

BURNING APPLIANCE.

This appliance is designed to attach to a 4" diameter type B-Vent or double thickness approved aluminium ﬂ ex liner.

The ﬂ ue collar of the appliance will ﬁ t inside a standard vent and may be fastened directly to the vent using a minimum of 3 sheet metal screws or a B-Vent, single wall vent connector. B-Vent chimneys require a 1" clearance to combustibles.

The Regency draft hood, so no additional external draft hood is required. Check periodically that the vent is unrestricted and an adequate draft is present when the unit is in operation.

Before installing the vent system ensure that the damper plate is locked into the open position and secure to prevent the damper plate from falling down and crushing the liner.

The appliance is equipped with a vent safety shutoff system and a safety control system designed to protect against improper venting of combustion products. The appliance will not function without being connected to a proper system.

Insert incorporates its own internal

WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting system or tampering with the vent shut-off system can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.

This appliance must not be connected to a chimney ﬂ ue serving a separate solid fuel burning appliance.

For best venting performance, we recommend the following venting rules:

1. Use only certiﬁ ed Type B gas vent or approved ﬂ ex liner.

2. Follow the vent manufacturer's instructions and clearance requirements.

3. Observe any local code restrictions, if any, regarding the installation of gas inserts.

4. Use as few elbows as possible.

5. Keep horizontal lengths as short as possible

and maintain at least an upward slope of 1/4 in. (6.4mm) for every 12 in. (305mm) of horizontal run.

6. Terminate the vent with a suitable certiﬁ ed vent cap.

INSTALLATION

DRAFTHOOD CHECK

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 external doors and windows in the house. Remove the Front Trim from the E18 to gain better access to the Drafthood Opening. Make sure the Glass Door is on properly.

2. Light the unit and set controls to maximum.

3. After ﬁ ve minutes, test that there is a “pull” on

the ﬂ ue by placing a smoke match, cigarette or similar device which gives off smoke, in front of the spill tube. See diagram 14.1.

Check for proper draft by placing a match close to the drafthood opening. This should be checked after the unit has been operating for 15 min. The smoke should be drawn into the Drafthood. If the smoke is still not drawn into the Drafthood 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: The thermally activated safety switch will sense the change in temperature and shut down the gas valve in the event of a severe downdraft or a blocked or disconnected vent. The switch acts as a safety shut-off to prevent a build-up of carbon monoxide. If the ﬂ ue is blocked or has no "draw", the switch will automatically shut off the supply of gas within 5 - 10 minutes. Tampering with the switch can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death. If the heater turns off because of lack of draft during the spillage test, check for the cause and if necessary, seek expert advice.

'UDIWKRRG2SHQLQJ

The thermally actuated safety switch will automatically reset after it has cooled off. The switch will continue to cycle until the draft problem is corrected. DO NOT BYPASS OR DISCONNECT THIS SWITCH.

REMOTE CONTROL

Use the Regency Remote Control Kit approved for this unit. Use of other systems may void your warranty.

The remote control kit comes with a hand held transmitter, a receiver and a wall mounting plate.

1. Choose a convenient location on the wall to install the receiver and the receptacle box (protection from extreme heat is very important). Run wires from the ﬁ replace to that location. Use Thermostat Wire Table.

2. Disconnect the two wires, Red/Black from the on/off switch. Connect the receiver wires to the Red/Black wires only.

CAUTION

Do not wire millivolt

wall thermostat wires

to 120V wire.

3. Install 3 AAA alkaline batteries in transmitter

and 4 AA alkaline batteries in the receiver. Install the receiver and its cover in the wall. Switch the remote receiver to "remote" mode. The remote control is now ready for operation. Note: Transmitter and receiver need to be programmed.

WALL SWITCH

1) Run the wire through the right or left side inlet

opening. Be careful not to damage the wire.

Note: We recommend a maximum of 15' of wire

but if you wish to go with a longer run, use the Thermostat Wire Table.

2) Connect the wire to the supplied wall switch

and install into the receptacle box.

CAUTION

Do not wire millivolt

wall switch wire

to 120V wire.

WALL THERMOSTAT

A basic wall thermostat is supplied with the unit, connect the wires as per the wiring diagram. Use table below to determine the maximum wire length.

Note: Preferable if the thermostat is installed

on an interior wall.

Regency offers an optional programmable thermostat but any 250-750 millivolt rated non-anticipator type thermostat that is CSA, ULC or UL approved may be used.

INSTALLATION

SAFETY SWITCHES

The E18 uses two safety switches to maintain proper operation.

The ﬁ rst is a Spill Switch which will shut off the appliance if continuous spilling of exhaust gas from the drafthood occurs. The spill switch will shut off the Main Burner but not the Pilot. This switch is resets automatically, if the problem persists the appliance will cycle on and off. If this occurs. shut the unit off and contact a technician.

The second is a Primary Limit Switch. This switch conﬁ rms that the circulation fan is operating normally. If for any reason the circualtion fan fails, the Primary Limit Switch will turn off the Main Burner but not the Pilot before the appliance becomes too hot. This switch is automatic resetting, so if the problem persists you will see your appliance cycling on and off. If this occurs shut the unit off and contact a technician.

OPERATION CONTROLS

FIREPLACE CONTROLS

The E18 has 3 controls for controlling ﬂ ame height, fan

speed and ﬂ ame on/off. The fan on the E18 is designed to come on once the ﬁ replace has reached a pre-determined temperature, and to go off once the temperature has dropper following use.

The speed of the fan can be varied by adjusting the Fan

Speed Control dial up or down. These controls are located to the left side of the Surround Panels.

Providing that the pilot system is in standing mode, the

main burner can be turned on or off by way of a

switch located just below the Fan Speed Control dial.

See the Lighting Instruction section in this manual for information on lighting the pilot.

The ﬂ ame height can be adjusted from minimum to maxi-

mum by way of an adjustment knob on the Control Valve, located behind the Access Panel.

The Access Panel is held in place by magnets and can

simply be lifted away from the unit and set aside.

Note: Supplied white cord channel Use cord channel to obscure cord and keep tidy. The

cord is located on the left hand side of the appliance.

1. Open channel and feed cord through.

2. Peel off backing of cord channel and adhere to hearth.

FIRST FIRE

The ﬁ rst ﬁ re in your stove is part of the paint curing process. To ensure that the paint is properly cured, it is recommended that you burn your ﬁ replace for at least four (4) hours the ﬁ rst time you use it with the fan on. When ﬁ rst operated, the unit will release an odour caused by the curing of the paint, the burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke detectors 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.

Do not use abrasive cleaners on the glass.

Note: When the glass is cold and the appliance

is lit, it may cause condensation and fog the glass. This condensation is normal and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.

DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.

MAINTENANCE

OPERATION

The fan operates automatically, turn the knob on the side of the faceplate to adjust 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. This fan is required for normal operation, If the fan stops working at anytime the unit will automatically turn off after a delay of approximately 15-30 minutes.

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 appliance. Listed below are some examples. All are normal operating sounds and should not be considered as defects in your appliance.

Blower:

Regency® gas appliances use high tech blowers 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 control.

Burner Tray:

The burner tray is positioned directly under the burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a different gauge material from the rest of the ﬁ rebox 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 ﬁ reboxes.

Blower 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 ﬂ ame 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 contract at different rates resulting in some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be heard throughout the cycling process.

MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Always turn the gas valve to off before cleaning.

For relighting, refer to lighting instructions. Keep the burner and control compartment clean by brushing and vacuuming at least once a year.

When cleaning the logs, use a clean soft paint

brush as the logs are fragile and easily damaged.

2. Clean (never when unit is hot) appliance, door and louvers 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 ﬁ nished in a heat resistant paint

and should only be reﬁ nished with heat resistant paint (not with wall paint). Regency® uses StoveBrite Paint - Metallic Black #6309.

3. Make a periodic check of burner for proper position and condition. Visually check the ﬂ ame of the burner periodically, making sure the ﬂ ames are steady; not lifting or ﬂ oating. If there is a problem, call a qualiﬁ ed service person.

4. The appliance and venting system must be inspected before use, and at least annually, by a qualiﬁ ed ﬁ eld service person, to ensure that the ﬂ ow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.

During the annual service call, the burners

should be removed from the burner tray and cleaned. Replace the embers but do not block the pilot.

5. Keep the area near the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other ﬂ ammable vapours and liquids.

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.

7. Verify proper operation after servicing.

8. Periodically check the pilot ﬂ ames, see the

diagrams in the "Valve Description" section. If you have an incorrect ﬂ ame pattern, contact your Regency® dealer for further instructions.

WARNING: CHILDREN AND ADULTS SHOULD BE ALERTED TO THE HAZARDS OF HIGH SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND SHOULD STAY AWAY TO AVOID BURNS OR CLOTHING IGNITION. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE CAREFULLY 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.

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.

GLASS GASKET

If the glass gasket requires replacement use Part # 936-155 to order new gasket.

DOOR GLASS

Your Regency® ﬁ replace is supplied with high temperature 5mm-Ceramic glass. If your glass requires cleaning, we recommend using an approved glass cleaner available at all authorized dealers. Do not use abrasive materials.

CAUTION & WARNINGS:

* Do not clean when the glass is hot. * The use of substitute glass will void all product warranties. * Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass. * Do not strike or abuse the glass. * Do not operate this ﬁ replace without the glass front or with a cracked or broken glass front. * Wear gloves when removing damaged or broken glass. * Replacement of the glass panels should be done by a licensed or qualiﬁ ed service per son.
