could cause a malfunction of the
heater which could result in death,
serious bodily injury, and/or property damage. Failure to follow these
instructions may also void your
fire insurance and/or warranty.
FOR YOUR SAFETY
This appliance requires air for proper combustion. Always provide adequate combustion
and ventilation air. Follow instructions and information in the current AS5601-2004, NZS
5261 or local codes. Consult the "authority
having jurisdiction" to determine the need for a
permit prior to starting the installation.
GAS PIPE TESTING
The appliance must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 3.45 kPa.
Specifications:
Fuel: NG or LPG (see page 7)
Electrical: 240 volt 50 hz system
Fan/Blower:2-speed, 127 CFM
Log Sets: Ceramic fibre
BEFORE YOU START
Installation is to be carried out ONLY by an
authorised person.
1) The appliance shall be installed in accord-
ance with the manufacturer'sinstallation
instructions,local gas fitting regulations,
municipal building codes, water supply
regulations,electrical wiring regulations,
with AS5601-2004.(AGA gas installation
code) NZS 5261(New Zealand)
2) Installation and repair should be done
ONLY by an authorised person.
3) The appliance should be inspected before
use and at least annually by an authorised
service person. More frequent cleaning
may be required due to excessive lint from
carpeting, bedding material, etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners
and circulating air passageways of the
appliance be kept clean and free from
excessive lint from carpeting.
4) See general construction and assembly
instructions. This appliance may only be
installed in a flued, non-combustible fireplace. The appliance and flue should be
enclosed when installed or passing through
a living area, where children may come in
contact with it.
5) Always connect this space heater to a
chimney and flue to the outside of the
building envelope. Never flue to another
room. Make sure that the flue is properly
sized and is of adequate height to provide
the proper draft.
6) Inspect the flueing system annually for
blockage and any signs of deterioration.
7) Any safety glass removed for servicing
must be replaced prior to operating the
appliance.
8) To prevent injury, do not allow anyone who
is unfamiliar with the operation to use the
fireplace.
9) Installer must mechanically attach the
supplied label to the inside of the firebox of
the fireplace into which the gas fireplace
insert is installed.
“WARNING: This fireplace has been converted
for use with a gas fireplace insert only and
cannot be used for burning wood or solid fuels
unless all original parts have been replaced,
and the fireplace re-approved by the authority
having jurisdiction.”.
INSTALLATION
CHECKLIST
The Regency Gas Insert is installed as listed
below.

correctly. See page 7.
MATERIALS REQUIRED
No electric power supply is required for the gas
control to operate. A 240 Volt AC power cord
is hooked up to the fan switch and blower. Plug
3 wire cord into a suitable receptacle. Do not
cut the ground terminal off under any circumstances.
When connected with 240 volts, the appliance
must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes.
Note: This unit is equipped with a heat
sensor thermodisc which will
prevent the blower from operating until the unit reaches the correct temperature.

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 flue
and may be fastened directly to the flue by
sheet metal screw. Diagram 1.
Diagram 1
2) Before pushing the appliance into position
inside the fireplace, align the draft diverter
with the guides on the insert top and push
forward. While pushing the unit back into
place keep pulling the draft diverter forward
until the screw hole in the spill tube aligns
with the screw hole in the top of the firebox.
The screw is secured through the inside top
of the firebox into the bottom of the spill tube.
(If screw holes do not line up then draft
diverter is not positioned correctly.)
Diagram 2.
FLUEING
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 100 mm
diameter twin skin or listed gas fuel type flue
liner running the full length of the chimney. A
minimum flue height of 3.6 m. is recommended.
The Regency Inbuilt Fireplace incorporates its
own internal draft diverter, so no additional
external draftdiverter is required.
Periodically check that the flue is unrestricted
and an adequate draft is present when the unit
is in operation. (See page 7 for spillage test.)
Before installing flue system ensure that the
damper plate is open and secure to prevent the
damper plate from falling down and crushing
the liner.
Install to AS5601-2004,(Australia) NZS 5261
(New Zealand).
Combustion and Ventilation Air
WARNING: This appliance needs
fresh air for safe operation and must
be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation
air available to the room in which it
is to be operating.
Air for combustion is drawn in through the front
of the unit, therefore, the front of the unit must
be kept clear of any obstructions.
GAS PRESSURE TEST
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 external doors and windows in the
house.
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 noncombustible material)
between the spill tube and the upper louvre,
this will prevent the natural convection of
the unit from interfering with the test. See
diagram 1.
Diagram 2
NOTE: Final gas connection should be af-
ter unit is in place to avoid damage
to line when pushing the unit into
position.
Regency I31-3 Gas Fireplace Inbuilt
The unit is preset to give the correct gas input
at the specified manifold pressures shown on
the label. The maximum gas manifold pressure
is:
NG 0.9 kPa
LPG 2.65 kPa
The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator built into the gas control, and should be
checked at the pressure test point. The pressure check should be carried out with the unit
burning and the setting should be within the
limits specified.
Diagram 1

INSTALLATION
The smoke should be drawn into the spill tube.
If the smoke is still not drawn into the spill tube,
turn the unit off and check for the cause of the
lack of draft. If necessary, 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 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 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, rectify.
OPTIONAL
BRICK PANEL
1) Unwrap the brick pattern panels from the
protective wrapping.
2) Remove the glass front if it is already
installed (see manual).
3) Put the rear brick panel flat against the back
of the unit.
4) Before installing the side brick panels, loosen the screws for the brick tabs enough so
that you can slide the brick tabs on to the
screws easily but that the tabs are secure.
For the location of the side brick tab screws
see diagram 1.
Diagram 1
5) Remove the brick tabs and slide the side
brick panels into position. See diagram 3.
Install the brick tabs. See diagram 2.
