OPTIONAL
OUTSIDE AIR
Outside air for combustion can be brought in either through the bottom of the pedestal or through the rear plate of the pedestal.
For both bottom and rear "outside air" the Pedestal Cover Plate must be installed. Loosen the 4 screws on the rear of the pedestal and slide the cover plate over them. Slide the plate to the left to center it and tighten down the 4 screws.
Outside Air Through
Pedestal Bottom
Once you have properly marked the position of your unit as outlined in "General Information" and "Clearances to Combustibles", cut a prop­erly sized hole though the floor directly under your pedestal base to the outside. Pipe fresh air into the pedestal area by using appropriate metallic duct pipe with a mesh grill at the outside termination. Do not remove the knockout.
CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLES
The clearances listed below are MINIMUM dis­tances. Measure the clearance to both the appliance and the chimney connector. (The
farthest distance is correct if the two clearances do not coincide.) For example, if
the appliance is set as indicated in one of the figures but the connector is too close, move the stove until the correct clearance to the connec­tor is obtained.
This unit can be installed on a solid combustible surface like a wood floor. This unit can also be installed directly on carpeting or vinyl when the bottom pedestal cover plate (provided with unit) is installed.
This appliance may be installed only with the clearances as shown in the situations pictured. Do not combine clearances from one type of installation with another in order to achieve closer clearances.
Use the minimum clearances shown in the diagrams below for installation with "B" vent.
Minimum ceiling height is 36" / 914 mm from top of unit.
If further reduced clearances are needed, ob­tain requirements for construction of a protect­ed wall from your local building authorities and their allowable reductions of the listed clear­ances.
Rear View
Outside Air Through
Rear of Pedestal
Remove the blanking plate from the rear of the pedestal cover plate and bend the two tabs out 90 degrees. Pipe fresh air into the pedestal area by using duct pipe with a mesh grill at the outside termination. Attach the pipe to the tabs with screws.

INSTALLATION
DRAFT HOOD
This heater has a draft hood built in. It must not be altered, obstructed, or blocked in any way, and the unit must be installed so that the draft hood is in the same atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet to the burner. This heater must be properly connected to a venting system. This heater is equipped with a vent safety shutoff system.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting system or tampering with the vent safety shutoff system can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poison­ing and possible death.
HIGH ELEV ATION
The U38 (with 40,000 BTU rating) is approved in Canada for altitude 2000 ft. to 4500 ft. (CAN/ CGA-2.17-M91) with the orifice kit (Part # 591-
975). For Natural Gas installations above 4500 ft. follow current CAN/CGA-B149.1.
In U.S.A., for installations above 2000 ft. refer to current ANSI Z223.1 Sc8-8.1.2a appendix F, for resizing orifice.
VENTING
This heater is a vented appliance and must be connected to a chimney/flue in accordance with the installation codes.
Note: The rear pedestal cover plate is
only required when outside air is being used. If using room air for combustion, remove this plate from the back of the pedestal.
For your safety this heater is equipped with a vent safety switch designed to sense incor­rect venting and react by shutting down the gas supply. This thermally actuated switch is located within the draft hood and will detect either a blocked chimney or backdraft condi­tion where the chimney flow has reversed. If this switch shuts the unit down, it indicates a drafting problem that must be identified and rectified without delay - the thermally activated switch must never be bypassed or discon­nected as a hazardous or deadly condition can result.
Venting Requirements
A four inch diameter vent is required. B-Vent, Class A or Masonry with an approved liner are all acceptable. For cosmetic or aesthetic pur­poses 6" outer vent can be used as long as an approved inner vent is installed. Fasten but do not penetrate the inner sleeve of the B-Vent when tightening the screw.
Follow all venting manufacturer’s requirements and local building codes. In cold climates, we recommend the use of insulated B-vent, chase, and liners. For altitudes above 2000 ft. we recommend that a minimum flue height of 12 ft. is used.
Vent Terminations
Installation into Existing Woodstove Flue System
1) Clean existing Chimney system.
2) Run an approved 4" flex liner or "B" vent into
existing chimney.
Note:
See the chimney systems manufacturer for detailed installation instructions.

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 (14" w.c.).
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" (# 7) and/or "OUT" (# 6)
pressure tap(s), turning counterclockwise with a 1/8" wide flat 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.

FRONT DOOR
INSTALLATION
(packaged separately)
1) Open the two side panels.
2) Slide the door
onto the two hinge pins making sure the two pieces are flush to­gether. See di­agram 1.
3) Close the door. The latch plate must
be centered around the alignment pin. See dia­gram 2. If the latch plate interferes with the cor­ner of the stove you may want to angle the
plate slightly so the door closes easier.
4) The latches should already be at the proper setting. If they are too hard or too easy to close, you may want to adjust them by loosening the latch catch. See diagram 3.
Diagram 1
LOUVER
INSTALLATION
1) Attach the top & bottom louvers to the side
stove panel using 2 screws per side.
Note: If the flue is blocked or has a strong reverse flow, the thermally actuated safe­ty switch mounted in the draft hood will automatically shut off the gas supply within about 10 minutes. If the heater turns off because of this during the spill­age test, check for the cause of the lack of draft.
TEST FOR FLUE
Diagram 2
5) Remove the blue plastic protective coating
from the glass.
6) Test the seal around the door by placing a
piece of paper between the unit and the door, close the door and try to pull the paper out. If it slips out easily, then the door is not properly sealed. Tighten or loosen the latch. See diagram 3.
Diagram 3
Note: The door latch may require ad-
justment as the door gasket mate­rial compresses after a few fires and after glass replacement. Turn the latch catch inward or outward to loosen or tighten.
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 any other gas appliances. Then close all doors and windows.
2) Light the unit and set controls to maximum.
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, on the edge of the draft hood. See diagrams.
The smoke should be drawn into the draft hood. If the smoke is not drawn into the draft hood, turn the unit off and check for the cause of lack of draft.
The thermally activated safety switch must be manually reset before first star­tup.
OPTIONAL WALL
THERMOSTAT
A wall thermostat may be installed if desired. Connect the wires as per the wiring diagrams. Note that the wires are connected to the "TH" on the gas valve. 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 non­anticipator type thermostat that is CSA, ULC or UL approved may be used.
CAUTION
Do not connect the millivolt
wall thermostat wires
to the 120V wires.

OPTIONAL 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 fireplace to that location, use Thermostat Wire Table.
2) Connect the wires as per the wiring dia­gram above.
CAUTION
Do not connect the millivolt
remote control wires to
the 120V wires.
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.
WIRING
FINAL CHECK
Before leaving this unit with the customer, the installer must ensure that the appliance is firing correctly. This includes:
1) Clocking the appliance to ensure the cor­rect firing rate (rate noted on label) at 15 minutes.
2) If required, adjusting the primary air to ensure that the flame does not carbon. First allow the unit to burn for 15 min. to stabilize.
3) Check for proper draft.
CAUTION
Any alteration to the product that causes sooting or carboning that results in damage to the exterior facia is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
This heater does not require a 120V A.C. supply for operation. In case of a power failure, the burner switch and the optional remote control/thermostat will continue to op­erate. However, a 120V A.C. power supply is needed for the fan/blower operation.
WARNING: Electrical Grounding Instructions This appliance is equipped with a three pronged (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three­prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Caution: Ensure that the wires do not touch any hot surfaces and are away from sharp edges.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to discon­nection when servicing con­trols. Wiring er­rors can cause improper and dangerous op­eration.

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 three pieces of door glass
are properly positioned. Never operate the appliance with any of the glass removed or with the door open.
5) Verify that all venting and the cap is unob­structed.
6) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be seen when lighting the unit - the logs or the embers have been incorrectly positioned.
7) The unit should never to turned off and on without a minimum of a 60 second wait.
3) Wait five minutes to allow gas, that may have accumulated in the main burner com­partment, to escape. If you smell gas, fol­low the instructions on the front of this manual. If you don't smell gas continue on to the next step.
4) Turn the PILOT knob counterclockwise to pilot and align it with the arrow as shown in diagram 1.
5) Push in PILOT knob all the way in and hold. Immediately push IGNITOR button until pilot lights. Continue to hold the PILOT knob in for approximately one minute, then release the PILOT knob. The pilot flame should continue to burn. If the pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation allowing a longer period before releasing PILOT knob.
6) Turn PILOT knob counter clockwise to on.
7) Use the Burner ON/OFF switch to turn on
the burner.
8) Rotate the HEAT control to adjust the flame height higher or lower.
SHUTDOWN
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS STILL HOT!
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.
AUTOMATIC
CONVECTION FAN
OPERA TION
The fan operates automatically - turn the knob on the pedestal control panel 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 cools to below a useful heat output range the fan will shut off automatically.
LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: The PILOT knob cannot be turned from pilot to off unless it is partial- ly depressed.
Note: Open the pedestal door of the unit
before lighting the pilot. Once the pilot is lit, close the door. You should never operate the unit with the door open.
1) If the PILOT knob is in the off position proceed to Step 4.
Diagram 1
2) Push in PILOT knob slightly and turn clock­wise to off. Knob cannot be turned from pilot to off unless knob is pushed in slight­ly. Do not force.
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Use the Burner ON/OFF switch, thermostat
or remote control to turn off the burner.
2) Push in the PILOT knob slightly and turn clockwise to off. Do not force.
3) Turn off all electric power to the appliance if service is to be performed.
FIRST FIRE
The FIRST FIRE 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 fireplace for at least four (4) hours the first time you use it with the fan on. When first 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.
ADJUSTING FLAME
HEIGHT
Your heater has an adjustable flame to tailor the look and heat output to your specific needs. It is adjusted by turning the flame adjustment dial on the gas control valve.
Turn clockwise to adjust the flame higher, counter­clockwise for a lower flame.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PILOT ADJUSTMENT
Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct flame pattern has three strong blue flames: 1 flowing around the thermopile and 1 around the thermo­couple, and 1 flowing across the rear of the burner (it does not have to be touching the burner).
Note: If you have an incorrect flame
pattern, contact your Regency dealer for further instructions.
Top View of pilot flame
Incorrect flame pattern will have small, proba­bly yellow flames, not coming into proper con­tact with the rear of the burner or thermopile.
AERA TION
ADJUSTMENT
The burner aeration is factory set but may need adjusting due to either the local gas supply or altitude.
U38 with 40,000 Btu/h
U38-NG Natural Gas: 1/4" open U38-LP Propane: 1/2" open
U38 with 30,000 Btu/h
U38-NG Natural Gas 3/16" open U38-LP Propane 3/8" open
The aeration adjustment gears are located on the right side of the burner box and can be accessed from the side or from the front when the louvers are removed.
NORMAL OPERA TING
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 nor- mal 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 firebox 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 fireboxes.
Top View of pilot flame
To adjust the aeration: use the allen key to turn the turning gear which will adjust the air shutter. Open the air shutter for a blue flame or close it for a yellower flame.
Clockwise to open,
counter-clockwise to close.
Caution: Carbon will be produced if the air shutter is closed too much.
Note: Any damage due to carboning re-
sulting from improperly setting the aeration controls is NOT covered under warranty.
Note: Aeration Adjustment should only
be performed by an authorized Regency Installer at the time of installation or service.
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 flame 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
MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always shut the valve 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 soft clean brush as the logs are fragile and easily damaged.
2) Clean glass (never when unit is hot), ap­pliance, louvers, and door 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 finished in a heat resistant paint and should only be refinished with heat resistant paint (not with wall paint). Regency uses StoveBright Paint - Metallic Black #6309.
3) Make a periodic check of burner for proper position and condition. Visually check the flame of the burner periodically, making sure the flames are steady; not lifting or floating. If there is a problem, call a qualified service person.
4) The appliance and venting system must be inspected before use, and at least annual­ly, by a qualified field service person, to ensure that the flow 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 - do not block the pilot or burner ports.
5) Keep the area near the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.
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.
DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF ANY PART HAS BEEN UNDER WATER. IMMEDIATELY CALL A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO INSPECT THE APPLIANCE AND TO REPLACE ANY PART OF CON­TROL SYSTEM AND ANY GAS CONTROL WHICH HAS BEEN UN­DER WATER.
6) Verify proper operation after servicing.
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.
DOOR AND GLASS
GASKET
If the door gasket requires replacement use 7/8" diameter oval door gasket (Part # 650-
920). The glass requires 5/8" flat glass gasket. See your Regency dealer.
GOLD-PLATED DOORS
The 24 carat gold plated finish on the door requires little maintenance, and need only be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as they may harm the finish and will void the warranty. Clean any fingerprints off before turning the unit on.
GLASS
REPLACEMENT
Your Regency stove is supplied with high temperature, 5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass that will withstand the highest heat that your unit will produce. In the event that you break your glass, purchase your replacement from an authorized Regency dealer only, and follow the step-by-step instructions for replacement.
Never operate your unit with broken glass.
WARNING: Do not operate appliance with the glass front removed, cracked or bro­ken. Replacement of the glass should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.
