CAUTION: Any alteration to the product that causes sooting or carboning or that results in damage is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.

Rear View

CLEARANCES TO

COMBUSTIBLES

Minimum ceiling height is 36" / 914 mm from top of unit.

Outside Air Through

Rear of Pedestal

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 fi gures 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 fl oor. 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.

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 listes clearances.

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

VENTING

Vent Terminations

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.

This heater is a vented appliance and must be connected to a chimney/fl ue 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.

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 ELEVATION

The U38-1 (with 40,000 BTU rating) is approved in Canada for altitude 2000 ft. to 4500 ft. (CAN/

CGA-2.17-M91) with the orifi ce 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 orifi ce.

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 fl ow has reversed. If this switch shuts the unit down, it indicates a drafting problem that must be identifi ed and rectifi ed without delay - the thermally activated switch must

never

be bypassed or disconnected as a hazardous or deadly condition can result.

Venting Requirements

Installation into Existing

Woodstove Flue System

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.

1)

2)

Clean existing Chimney system.

Run an approved 4" fl ex liner or "B" vent into existing chimney.

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 fl ue height of 12 ft. is used.

Note: See the chimney systems manufacturer for detailed installation instructions.

Flue Mounting Bracket

Attach the fl ue mounting bracket with the enclosed screw as shown in the diagram.

PILOT ADJUSTMENT

Periodically check the pilot fl ames. Correct fl ame pattern has three strong blue fl ames: 1 fl owing around the thermopile and 1 around the thermocouple, and 1 fl owing across the rear of the burner (it does not have to be touching the burner).

Note: If you have an incorrect fl ame pattern, contact your Regency

U38-1 with 40,000 Btu/h

Natural Gas:

Propane:

1/4" open

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.

U38-NG1

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.

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.

Top View of pilot fl ame

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

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 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.

Top View of pilot fl ame

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 fl ame or close it for a yellower fl ame.

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 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.

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.

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 resulting from improperly setting the aeration controls is NOT covered under warranty.

Note: Aeration Adjustment should only be performed by an authorized Regency
