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.

RIGID PIPE VENTING SYSTEMS
BASIC HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL TERMINATIONS
Rigid Pipe Vent Systems offer a complete line of component parts for installation of both horizontal and vertical installations. Many items are offered in decorative black, as well as galvanized fi nish.
INSTALLATION
The minimum components required for a basic horizontal termination are:
1 AstroCap XL 1 90o Elbow 1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor 1 Wall Thimble 1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness
The minimum components required for a basic vertical termination are:
1 Vertical Termination Cap 1 Rigid Pipe Adaptor 1 Lengths of pipe to adequately penetrate roof 1 Ceiling Firestop 1 Flashing 1 Storm Collar
Wall thickness is measured from the back standoffs to the inside mounting surface of termination cap. For siding other than vinyl furring strips may be used, instead of the vinyl siding standoff, to create a level surface to mount the vent terminal. The Terminal must not be recessed into siding. Measure the wall thickness including furring strips.

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).

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.

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).

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.

MATCHING REMOTE
OPERATION
CONTROL & RECEIVER
CODE
(OPTIONAL)
The Remote Control Handset has a set of unique ID codes that is pre-programmed into its memory. This set of ID codes helps to differentiate one Remote Control Handset from another so that only the control box with a matching ID code will respond to the appropriate Remote Control Handset.
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.
