UNIT ASSEMBLY
PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION
The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips
and the 2 Top Standoffs must be correctly
positioned and attached to the top before unit
is slipped into position.
INSTALLATION
TOP STANDOFF ASSEMBLY
The top standoffs are shipped in a fl at position
and must be folded into shape and attached.
1) Remove the standoffs from the fi replace
top.
2) Take each standoff and bend into the correct
shape. Bend up at the bend lines until the
screw holes in the standoff and the prepunched screw holes on the fi replace top
line up.
3) Attach the standoff securely to the top
with 2 screws per standoff (on opposite
corners).
SIDE NAILING STRIPS
The side nailing strips come attached to the unit.
There are 2 plates on each side, one on the top
and bottom that can be folded out as required.
Side Nailing Strips shown folded out.
The Finishing Template uses two magnets to
attach itself to the fl ange on the left or right
side of the unit (see diagram below). Install the
facing material up to the outside edge (when
facing the unit) of the fi nishing template. This
template may be discarded after the facing
material has been installed.
Finishing
Template
Left Side Flange
FINISHING TEMPLATE
In order to maintain a clean face; the L676S
allows for a 1/8” in overlap of fi nishing material,
such as rock or tile, on both the left and right
hand sides of the unit (top and bottom sides do
not allow for an overlap), this overlap must not
be exceeded or the glass door will no longer
open properly.
Non-combustible wall board is installed up to the
fl anges on all sides of the unit. When installing
any additional facing material use the Finishing
Template (included with the unit) to ensure
that the fi nishing material does not exceed the
allowable overlap.
VENTING
INTRODUCTION
The L676S uses the "balanced fl ue" technology
Co Axial system. The inner liner vents products
of combustion to the outside while the outer liner
draws outside combustion air into the combustion
chamber thereby eliminating the need to use
heated room air for combustion and losing warm
room air up the chimney.
Note: These fl ue pipes must not be connected
to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be
vented directly to the outside of the building,
and never be attached to a chimney serving a
separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance.
Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's own
separate vent system. Common vent systems
are prohibited.

UNIT INSTALLATION
WITH HORIZONTAL
TERMINATION
(Rigid Vent Systems)
A top clearance of 3"(76mm) and side & bottom
clearance of 2"(51mm) must be maintained;
except when passing through a wall, ceiling, or at the termination where the use of a
fi restop or wall thimble reduces the required
clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm). We recommend
framing a 11"(279mm) x 11"(279mm) (inside
dimensions) hole to give structural rigidity
for mounting the termination.
Install the vent system according to the
manufacturer's instructions included with the
components.
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check to
determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in
the way when the venting system is attached.
If this is the case, you may want to adjust
the location of the unit. Rough in the gas
preferably on the right side of the unit and the
electrical (junction block is on the left side)
on the left.
2) Direct Vent pipe and fi ttings are designed with
special twist-lock connections to connect the
venting system to the appliance fl ue outlet.
A twist-lock appliance adaptor is required.
3) In conjunction with the Simpson Direct Vent
Pro system, install the adaptor after the unit is
set in its desired location. Put a bead of high
temperature silicone inside the outer section
of the adapter and a bead of Mill Pack on the
inner collar. Slip the adapter over the existing
inner and outer fl ue collar. Fasten to the outer
collar only with the 3 supplied screws (drilling
pilot holes will make this easier).
4) Level the fi replace and fasten it to the framing
using nails or screws through the top and
side nailing strips.
5) Assemble the desired combination of pipe
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and
twist-lock for a solid connection.
Note: For best results and optimum
performance with each approved
venting system, it is highly
recommended to apply “Mill-Pac”
sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe
connection. Failure to do so may result
in drafting or performance issues not
covered under warranty. Silicone (red
RTV) is optional.
Horizontal runs of vent must be supported
every 3 feet (0.9meter). Wall straps are
available for this purpose.
6) Mark the wall for a 11" x 11" (279mm x
279mm) square hole. The center of the
square hole should line up with the centerline
of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 11
inch (279mm) square hole in the exterior
wall where the vent will be terminated. See
diagram 2 for centerline requirements.
If the wall being penetrated is constructed of
non-combustible material, i.e. masonry block
or concrete, an 8" (203mm) diameter hole
is acceptable.
Diagram 2
Note:
a) The horizontal run of vent must be level, or
have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot of run
towards the termination. Never allow the
vent to run downward. This could cause
high temperatures and may present the
possibility of a fi re.
b) The location of the horizontal vent
termination on an exterior wall must meet
all local and national building codes, and
must not be blocked or obstructed. See
"Exterior Vent Termination Locations"
section for more details.
7) Ensure that the pipe clearances to
combustible materials are maintained
(Diagram 5). Install the termination cap.
Note: If installing termination on a vinyl
siding covered wall, a vinyl siding
standoff or furring strips must be used
to ensure that the termination is not
recessed into the siding.
Diagram 5
The four wood screws provided should be re-
placed with appropriate fasteners for stucco,
brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.
8) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent
pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall
Thimble over the vent pipe. The wall thimble
is required for all horizontal terminations.
9) Slide the appliance and vent assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting the vent
pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is important
that the vent pipe extends into the vent cap
suffi cient distance so as to result in a minimum
pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches (32mm). Secure
the connection between the vent pipe and
the vent cap.
10) Install wall thimble in the center of the 11"
(279mm) square and attach with wood screws
(Diagram 7).

INSTALLATION
or wall thimble reduces the required
clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm). We
recommend framing a 11"(279mm) x
11"(279mm) (inside dimensions) hole
to give structural rigidity for mounting
the termination.
1) Maintain the 2" (51mm)
clearances (air spaces)
to combustibles when
passing through ceilings,
walls, roofs, enclosures,
attic rafter, or other nearby
combustible surfaces.
Do not pack air spaces
with insulation. Check
"Venting Arrangement
- Vertical Termination"
section for the maximum
vertical rise of the
venting system and the
maximum horizontal offset
limitations.
2) Set the gas appliance
in its desired location.
Drop a plumb bob
down from the ceiling
to the position of the
appliance fl ue exit,
and mark the location
where the vent will
penetrate the ceiling.
Drill a small hole at
his point. Next, drop
a plumb bob from
the roof to the hole
previously drilled in
the ceiling, and mark
the spot where the
vent will penetrate the roof. Determine if ceiling
joists, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct
the venting system. You may wish to relocate
the appliance or to offset, as shown in Diagram
2 to avoid cutting load bearing members.
3) A Firestop spacer must be installed in the fl oor
or ceiling of every level.
Diagram 3
Diagram 2
Diagram 1
4) Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and
elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow
connections are in the fully twist-locked
position and sealed.
Note:
For best results and optimum performance
with each approved venting system, it is
highly recommended to apply “Mill-Pac”
sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe connection. Failure to do so may result in drafting
or performance issues not covered under
warranty. Silicone (red RTV) is optional.
5) Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small
drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The
hole should be of suffi cient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance to
combustibles of 1-1/2"(38mm). Slip the fl ashing
under the shingles (shingles should overlap
half the fl ashing) as per Diagram 4.
Diagram 4: The upper half of the fl ashing is
installed under the roofi ng material and not
nailed down until the chimney is installed.
This allows for small adjustments.
6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
Note: If an off set is necessary in the attic
to avoid obstructions, it is important
to support the vent pipe every 3
feet (0.9 meter), to avoid excessive
stress on the elbows, and possible
separation. Wall straps are available
for this purpose
(Diagram 2).
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roofl ine
due to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue
to add pipe sections through the fl ashing until
the height of the vent cap meets the minimum
height requirements specifi ed in Diagram 5 or
local codes. Note that for steep roof pitches,
the vertical height must be increased.

A poor draft, or down drafting can result from
high wind conditions near big trees or adjoining
roof lines, in these cases, increasing the vent
height may solve the problem.
7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base
of the fl ashing to the roof with roofi ng rails,
slide storm collar over the pipe section and
seal with a mastic.
8) Install the vertical termination cap by twist-
locking it.
Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which
the vent passes through must be
enclosed.

HORIZONTAL TERMINATION
WITH FLEX VENT SYSTEM
Note: A top clearance of 3"(76mm) and
side & bottom clearance of 2"(51mm)
must be maintained; except when
passing through a wall, ceiling, or
at the termination where the use of
a fi restop or wall thimble reduces the
required clearance to 1-1/2" (38mm).
We recommend framing a 11"(279mm)
x 11"(279mm) (inside dimensions)
hole to give structural rigidity for
mounting the termination.
1) Locate the unit in the framing, rough in the
gas (preferably on the right side of the unit).
Locate the centerline of the termination and
mark wall accordingly. Cut an 11"(279mm)
hole in the wall (inside dimension).
4) Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble and
securely fasten the one with the tabs to the
outside wall making sure that the tabs are
on top and bottom. Fasten the other thimble
half to the inside wall. The thimble halves slip
inside each other and can be adjusted for 2
x 4 or 2 x 6 walls.
5) Slip the assembled liner and termination
assembly through the thimble making sure
the termination cap faces up (there are
markings on the cap that show which way
is up). This will position the termination cap
with proper down slope for draining water.
Fasten the cap to the outer wall with the 4
supplied screws.
6) Pull the centre 5"(127mm) liner and outer
8"(203mm) liner out enough to slip over
the fl ue collars of the fi replace. (You may
wish to cut the liner shorter to make it more
workable.) Do not bend liner more than 90
The liners must slip over the collars a
minimum of 1-3/8".
7) Apply Mill Pac over the fi replace inner collar
and slip the 5"(127mm) liner down over it
and attach with 3 supplied screws.
8) Do the same with the 8"(203mm) liner.
o
IMPORTANT: Do not locate termination
hood where excessive snow or ice
buildup may occur. Be sure to check vent
termination area after snow falls, and clear
to prevent accidental blockage of venting
system. When using snow blowers, make
sure snow is not directed towards vent
termination area.

2) Level the fi replace and fasten it to the fram-
ing using nails or screws through the nailing
strips.
3) Assemble the vent assembly by applying
Mill Pac to the 5"(127mm) inner collar of the
termination and slipping the 5"(127mm) liner
over it at least 1-3/8" (35mm). Fasten with the
3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make this
easier). Apply Mill Pac or high temperature
silicone to the 8"(203mm) fl ex pipe and slip
it over the 8" outer collar of the vent terminal
at least 1-3/8"(35mm) and fasten with the 3
screws.
NOTE: Horizontal sections must be sup-
ported at intervals not exceeding 3
feet (0.9 meter). (Flame picture and
performance will be aff ected by sags
in the liner).
9) Apply a bead of silicone between the thimble
and termination and around the outer edge
of the terminal at the wall in order to keep

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.
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.
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.
HIGH ELEVATION
This unit is approved in Canada for altitude 0 to
4500 ft. (CAN1 2.17-M91).
GAS LINE
INSTALLATION
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
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.
Periodically check the pilot fl ames. Correct
fl ame pattern has three strong blue fl ames:
1 fl owing around the thermopile, 1 around
the thermocouple and 1 fl owing across the
burner (it does not have to be touching the
burner).
Note: If you have an incorrect fl ame pattern,
contact your Regency
further instructions.
Incorrect fl ame pattern will have small,
probably yellow fl ames, not coming into
proper contact with the rear burner or
thermopile or thermocouple.

LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot, you
must fi rst remove the glass door.
NOTE: The Gas ON/OFF knob cannot be
turned from "ON", "PILOT" or "OFF" unless
it is partially depressed.
1) Ensure the 3-way switch on the wall mounted
receiver is in the "OFF" position.
2) Turn the gas control knob so the indicator
points to the "OFF" position and wait 5 minutes for any gas in the combustion chamber
to escape.
3) Turn the gas control knob counterclockwise
so the indicator points to the "PILOT" position.
Depress the gas control knob fully. Depress
the igniter button until the pilot lights. After
approximately one minute, release the gas
control knob. The pilot fl ame should continue
to burn.
Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the gas control knob, re-install
the glass door to the unit. The unit must not
be operated without the glass door in place.
If the pilot does not remain lit, repeat opera-
tion allowing a longer period before releasing
gas control knob.
4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas control
knob to the "ON" position.
5) Use the wall switch or optional remote control
to turn the unit ON.
FIRST FIRE
The FIRST FIRE in your heater is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure the paint is properly
cured, it is recommended you burn your fi replace
for at least four (4) hours the fi rst time.
When fi rst operated, the unit will release an
odour caused by the curing of the paint and 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 may
require cleaning.
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 ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE IT IS STILL HOT!
DO NOT BURN THE UNIT WITHOUT
THE GLASS DOOR IN PLACE.
During the fi rst few fi res, a white fi lm
may develop on the glass front as part of
the curing process. The glass should be
cleaned after the unit has cooled down
or the fi lm will bake on and become very
diffi cult to remove. Use a non-abrasive
cleaner and DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN
THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
To ensure the remote control is matched to
the receiver correctly, please follow the steps
below:
1) Install 4 "AA" batteries into the receiver.
2) Turn the 3-way switch on the receiver to the
"Remote" position.
3) Using a small pointy object (ie. the end of a
paper clip) press the button marked "PRG"
on the receiver. The receiver will beep 3 times
to indicate that it is ready to synchronize with
the remote control.
4) Install 3 "AAA' batteries into the remote con-
trol and push the "ON" button. The receiver
will beep 4 times to indicate the remote
control's command has been accepted and
sets to the particular code of that remote
control.
36
NOTE: When using the optional remote control
refer to the remote manual.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1) Turn the 3-way switch on the wall mounted
receiver to the "OFF" position.
2) Press "OFF" on the remote control.
3) Turn the gas control knob to the "OFF" posi-
tion to turn off the pilot.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube 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.
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.
