2) For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the

rest of the house, apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local installation codes. (Do not insulate the ﬁ replace itself.)

3) The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. The

clearance on top of the unit from the top standoffs is 0" so combustible building materials can be laid directly on top of the standoffs. You must maintain clearances from the vent to combustible materials: See "Clearances" section. Combustible materials can be laid against the side and back standoffs and the stove base.

Note: When installing this ﬁ replace there are two warnings on the

front face of the unit. The areas indicated here are painted black and indicate that no nails, screws, or other punctures can be made at these points as there are sensitive electronic components directly behind these markings.

INSTALLATION

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 3 plates, one on the top and bottom that can be folded out as required.

Side Nailing Strips shown folded out.

FINISHING TEMPLATE

In order to maintain a clean face; the L900E 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.

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.

INSTALLATION

VENTING

INTRODUCTION

The L900E 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 flue 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.

VENT RESTRICTOR

POSITION

Vent restriction is required for certain venting installations, see the diagrams in the "Venting Arrangements" section to determine if they are required for your installation.

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 Dura-Vent

Direct Vent GS 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 center line 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).

Diagram 7

NOTE: A Vent Guard is required when the AstroCap is installed above grade at 7 feet or lower.

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 Arrangemnt

- 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.

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 offset 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.

Diagram 5

over 16/12 to 18/12 7 2.13

over 18/12 to 20/12 7.5 2.29

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.

UNIT INSTALLATION

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) and the electrical (Junction block is on the left side) on the left. 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.

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.

ASTROCAP XL

DIMENSIONS (946-623/P)

INSTALLATION

Note: If installing termination on a siding

covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff or vinyl furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding.

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 affected 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 the water out.

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.

PILOT ADJUSTMENT

Periodically check the pilot ﬂ ames. Correct ﬂ ame pattern has three strong blue ﬂ ames: 1 around the ﬂ ame sensor 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® dealer for further instructions.

Incorrect ﬂ ame pattern will have small, probably yellow ﬂ ames, not coming into proper contact with the rear burner or ﬂ ame sensor.

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 unit is turned OFF.

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) Turn the unit ON.

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 unit, 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MATCHING REMOTE

HANDSET & CONTROL

BOX ID CODE

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.

To ensure the remote control is matched to the receiver correctly, please follow the steps below:

1. Install the 2 x AAA alkaline batteries into the

Remote Control.

2. Unplug and re-plug the power cord. The

power cord is located on the left hand side of the appliance and will be plugged into the receptacle.

3. Press and hold the PROG and FAN buttons

simultaneously for up to 20 seconds. During this time, the remote will display LC while it is transmitting codes to the receiver.

4. Once it is successfully transmitted, wait for

20 seconds and press the ON/OFF button on the remote control once and the burners will come on.

If is does not work the ﬁ rst time, repeat steps

2 and 3.

5. The remote control is now programmed to

the receiver and the appliance can now be operated with it.

The control box will only learn the Remote ID codes during the ﬁ rst 30 seconds after power is applied and will ignore this special command from the Remote after the ﬁ rst 30 seconds.

NOTE: This must only be performed by a qualiﬁ ed installer.

OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Read and understand these instructions

before operating this appliance.

2) Check to see that all wiring is correct and

enclosed to prevent possible shock.

3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.

4) Make sure the glass in the door frame is

properly positioned. Never operate the appliance with the glass removed.

5) Verify that the venting and cap are

unobstructed.

6) Ensure that the brick panels are installed.

7) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be

seen when lighting the unit, the logs have been incorrectly positioned.

8) The unit should never be turned off, and on

again without a minimum of a 60 second wait.

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: The main burner will always start on

"HIGH" and resume it's last setting after 20 seconds of operation.

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.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS STILL HOT!

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.

LIGHTING

PROCEDURE

1) Plug the power cord into a power outlet.

2) Press and release the ON/OFF button once

on the Remote Control.

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 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.

Pilot Flame:

While the pilot ﬂ ame is on it can make a very slight "whisper" sound.

OPERATION

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.

OPERATION DURING

POWER OUTAGE

In the event of a power failure, the unit will be fully functional for the ﬁ rst 45 minutes using the backup-battery system.

If power resumes within the ﬁ rst 45 minutes you can continue using the unit as normal.

If power is restored after 45 minutes you will need to reset the unit as follows;

a) Remove the left side exterior brick panel.

b) Hold the reset button for 3 to 5 seconds or

until the LED stops blinking.

c) Press and release the ON/OFF button once

on the Remote Control.

Reset Button

BACKUP BATTERY

Listed below are approved battery types that can be used for replacement:

a) Powersonic 1.3AH b) Panasonic 1.3AH c) Henda 1.3AH d) Magnacharge 1.3AH

CAUTION:

Risk of Energy Hazard, 12V, 1.3 Amphere-hour battery. Before replacing batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist watches, and rings. High energy through conductive materials could cause severe burns.

Dispose of batteries at an authorized battery disposal site. Do not dispose of batteries in a ﬁ re. The batteries may explode.

Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.

NOTE: This must only be performed by a qualiﬁ ed installer.

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 off the unit 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 soft clean paint brush as the logs are fragile and easily damaged.

2) Clean appliance and door with a damp

cloth (never when unit is hot). Never use an abrasive cleaner. The glass should be cleaned with a gas ﬁ replace glass cleaner.

The glass should be cleaned when it starts looking cloudy.

3) The heater is ﬁ nished in a heat resistant

paint and should only be reﬁ nished with heat resistant paint. Regency® uses StoveBright Paint - Metallic Black #6309.

4) 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.

5) 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.

Note: Never operate the appliance without

the glass properly secured in place.

6) Do not use this appliance if any part has been

under water. Immediately call a qualiﬁ ed service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

MAINTENANCE

7) In the event this appliance has been

serviced check that the vent-air system has been properly resealed & reinstalled in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

8) Verify operation after servicing.

GENERAL VENT

MAINTENANCE

Conduct an inspection of the venting system semiannually. Recommended areas to inspect as follows:

1) Check the Venting System for corrosion in

areas that are exposed to the elements. These will appear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme cases, holes. These components should be replaced immediately.

2) Remove the Cap, and shine a ﬂ ashlight

down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other foreign material.

3) Check for evidences of excessive

condensation, such as water droplets forming in the inner liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints, Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and ﬁ ttings. It may be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.

4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe

sections or ﬁ ttings have been disturbed, and consequently loosened. Also check mechanical supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for rigidity.

LOG REPLACEMENT

The unit should never be used with broken logs. Turn off the unit and allow the unit to cool before opening door and carefully remove the logs. 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 diagrams under Log Installation.

Note: Improper positioning of logs may

create carbon build-up and will severely alter the unit's performance which is not covered under warranty.

GLASS GASKET

If the glass gasket requires replacement use a tadpole glass gasket (Part # 936-155).

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
