DV STOVE HORIZONTAL VENT KIT INSTALLATION
Review the following sequence of
instructions which are typical of most
installations. The sequence may varydepending on wall thickness. Refer to ventlocation and clearance dimensions in"Exterior Vent Termination Locations"
to "DV Stove Horizontal Vent Kit"
sections.

Note: A 1-1/2"(38mm) clearance
around the outer pipe must be
maintained except that only a1" (25mm) clearance is neededat the termination end.
IMPORTANT:Do not locate termination hood
where excessive snow or ice buildup
may occur. Be sure to check venttermination area after snow falls,

Regency® U39 ULTIMATE Direct Vent Freestanding Gas Stove

2) Assemble a trial fit to determine the verticalcenter-line for the vent termination.
a) Cut a 9-1/2" x 9-1/2" (241mm x 241mm) square hole on both the interior
and exterior wall.
Minimum Installation Height:
U39: 59-3/4" ( 1518mm)

1) Set the unit in its desired location.
Check to determine if wall studs will
be in the way of the venting system,
adjust location until all clearances are
met and there are no obstructions.

and clear to prevent accidental blockage ofventing system. When using snow blowers,
make sure snow is not directed towards venttermination area.

b) Install wall thimbles on both interior
and exterior wall with 4 wood screws(#8 x 1") per thimble.
c) Attach the 2 piece adjustable pipe
section to the vent terminal andslide into position from the exterior.
The larger diameter end of theadjustable pipe goes to the ventterminal.
d) Install the 90 o elbow onto theadjustable pipe to determine thevertical centerline of the starter collar
on the unit.
17

INSTALLATION
Note: if the centerline cannot be met,
the adjustable sections will have to
be cut.
e) Cut the 2 ft. or 4 ft. section of rigid pipe
to length. Ensure that the pipe length
when cut will seat onto both the startercollar and the 90o elbow. Crimped
section of rigid pipe seats into the
90o elbow. Only cut the uncrimped
side of pipe.
Dismantle all pipe sections including ventterminal.
3) Attach the 4" dia. flex liner to the ventterminal ensuring that the flex overlaps thecollar of the vent terminal by a minimumof 1-3/8"(35mm). Use Mill-Pac to sealand secure with 3 of the #8 x 1/2" screws(stainless steel).
4) Attach the adjustable pipe section to the ventterminal using Mill-Pac and attach with 3 of
the #8 x 1/2" screws (stainless steel).

6) A bead of non-hardening mastic should be
run around both the termination and vinyl
siding standoff to prevent water from enteringand to make a tight seal between the cap
and the standoff.
Note: The pipe seam should be facing
down.
Note: To make the installation moreaesthetically pleasing, we
recommend framing out asquare that the cap
can be mounted on.
Note: I f
installing
termination on asiding covered
wall, a vinyl siding
standoff or furring
strips must be used to ensure thatthe termination is not recessed into
the siding. For vinyl siding standoff
installation refer to the Dura-Vent
Termination instructions.
5) Slide the partially connected pipe and ventterminal assembly through the wall thimbles(from the exterior into the interior) andsecure the cap to the exterior wall with 4 ofthe supplied screws (#8 x 1-1/2" drill point,
stainless steel). Note: pilot holes will need
to be drilled through the wall thimble on all
4 corners.
Note: The four screws provided for thevent cap should be replaced withappropriate fasteners for stucco,
brick, concrete, or other types ofsidings.

187) Stretch the 4" dia. flex liner out fully and geta trial fit of the liner onto the 4" dia. startercollar.
8) Cut the 4" dia. flex liner to the desired
size.
Hint: leave an extra 12" to 16" of length, thiswill make the final assembly easier to workwith.
9) Secure the 4" dia. flex liner to the 4" adapter
with Mill-Pac and 3 of the #8 x 1/2" screws(stainless steel).

15) Attach the pipe section onto the startercollar by sealing with Mill-Pac and/or hightemperature silicone and securing with 3 of
the #8 x 1/2" (black) screws. Pipe seams
should be facing the wall.
16) Attach the 90o elbow onto the pipe section
by sealing with Mill-Pac and/or hightemperature silicone and securing with 3of the #8 x 1/2" screws (black).
17) Slide the adjustable pipe section onto the 90o
elbow. The flex may have to be compressedback in order for the adjustable pipe toproperly mate to the elbow. Seal with MillPac and/or high temperature silicone andsecure with 3 of the #8 x 1/2" screws (black).
Pipe seams facing down.

10) Slide the decorative Thimble Cover over thepipe sections and secure with 4 screws (#8x 1-1/2" drill point, black) to the wall.

18) Install the trim collar over the starter collar
and secure with a #8 x 1/2" screw (black).

11) Slide the 90o elbow (crimp end up) and the
2 ft. or 4 ft. pipe section (crimp end up) overthe 4" dia. flex liner.

If the pipe needs to be touched up, use only
Stove Brite High Temperature Metallic Black
Stove Paint.

12) Slide the trim collar over the adjustable pipe
sections to cover the joint of the telescopic
section.

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 draftingor performance issues not covered underwarranty. Silicone (red RTV) is optional.

13) Install the spring spacers onto the pipe
sections.
14) Secure the 4" dia. flex liner with adapter
onto the stove collar. Put a bead of Mill-Pac
around the appliance adapter and securewith 3 screws (#8 x 1/2, stainless steel).

You will require the following components withyour new Regency® Direct Vent Freestanding
Gas Stove. Please review your product to makesure you have everything you need. In the eventthat you are missing any part, contact your dealer.

There are two basic types of Dura-Vent Direct
Vent System installations: horizontal terminationand vertical termination. Confirm the maximum
horizontal run and maximum vertical risefrom the diagrams in the "Rigid Pipe Venting
Arrangements" section.
When planning your installation, it will benecessary to select the proper length of ventpipe for your particular requirements. For
horizontal installations, determine the minimum
clearance from the rear of the unit to the wall.
It is also important to note the wall thickness.
(The wall thimble is suitable for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6wall construction.) Select the amount of verticalrise desired for "vertical-to-horizontal" typeinstallations.

Note:

These are the minimum pieces
required. Other parts may be requiredfor your particular installation. See
the "Dura-vent Horizontal Kit"
section for a list of vent parts.

If installing termination on a siding covered wall,a vinyl siding standoff or furring strips can beused in order to ensure that the termination is
not recessed into siding.
The vinyl siding standoff is required for wallswith vinyl siding.

Warning: Always maintain required
clearances (air spaces) to nearby
combustibles to prevent a fire hazard. Do
not fill air spaces with insulation.

The Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent System
offers a complete line of component partsfor installation of both horizontal and verticalinstallation. Many items are offered in decorative
black, as well as galvanized finish. The
galvanized pipe and fittings are used forconcealed locations such as attics or where
corrosion is a factor, such as above the roofline. Decorative brass trim kits are available forboth wall thimbles and ceiling support boxes.

The minimum clearance requirements between
the outer wall of the vent pipe and nearby
combustible surfaces is 1-1/4 inch. Be sure
to check the vent termination clearance
requirements from decks, windows, soffits,
gas regulators, air supply inlets and public
walkways as specified in the "Exterior Vent
Terminal Locations" section and in your local
building codes.
To determine the length of vent pipe requiredfor vertical installations, measure the distancefrom the unit flue outlet to the ceiling, the ceilingthickness, the vertical rise in an attic or second
storey, and allow for sufficient vertical height
above the roof line.
For multi-storey applications, fire stops are
required at each floor level. If an offset isneeded, additional pipe, elbows and supports
will be required.

DURA-VENTHORIZONTALTERMINATIONS
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Checkto determine if wall studs or roof rafters
are in the way when the venting system is
attached. If this is the case, you may wantto adjust the location of the unit.
2) Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designedwith special twist-lock connections toconnect the venting system to the appliance
flue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor isinstalled on the unit at the factory. Assemble
the desired combination of pipe and elbows
to the appliance adaptor with pipe seams
oriented towards the wall or ceiling, as muchout of view as possible. The final positioningof the pipe and 90o elbow assembly isdetermined by the mounting orientation of
the adaptor on the stove and twist-locked
for a solid connection.

Note:a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations,located on the female ends of pipes andfittings, are designed to slide straightonto the male ends of adjacent pipes
and fittings, by orienting the four pipe
indentations so they match and slide into the four entry slots on the male ends
(diagram 1). Push the pipe sections
completely together, then twist-lock
one section clockwise approximately
one-quarter turn, until the two sections
are fully locked. The female locking lugs
will not be visible from the outside on
the Black Pipe or fittings. They may belocated by examining the inside of thefemale ends.
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 resultin drafting or performance issues notcovered under warranty. Silicone (redRTV) is optional.

Note:a) The horizontal run of vent should havea 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot of run
towards the termination. Never allow thevent to run downward. This could cause
high temperatures and may present thepossibility of a fire.
b) The location of the horizontal venttermination on an exterior wall mustmeet all local and national building
codes, and must not be blocked or
obstructed. See instructions in the"External Vent Terminal Locations"section.
c) Snorkel Terminations:
For installations requiring a vertical riseon the exterior of the building, 14-inch
and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations
as shown in Dia. 3 are available, as
well as the standard Riser Vent, seeDia. 3a. Follow the same installation
procedures as used for standard
Horizontal Termination. NEVER install
the snorkel upside down.

*Dia 3, 3a & 4: As specified in
CGA B149 Installation Code.
Local codes or regulations may requiredifferent clearances.

Hint: Applysilicone to female
end.

Diagram 1b) Horizontal runs of vent must be
supported every three feet. Wall straps
are available for this purpose.

NOTE: For Snorkel terminations in ABOVE
grade installations, follow national or local
code requirements.

U39: 59-3/4" (1518mm)3) With the pipe attached to the stove, slide
the stove into its correct location, and markthe wall for a 10" x 10" (inside dimensions)square hole. The center of the squarehole should line up with the centerline of
the horizontal pipe, as shown in diagram
2. Cut and frame the 10 inch square holein the exterior wall where the vent will beterminated. If the wall being penetrated isconstructed of non-combustible material,
i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7" diameterhole is acceptable.

Note: Riser Vent
is only for use
in above grade
terminations.

Below Grade Installation
If the Snorkel Termination must be installed
below grade, i.e. basement application, proper
drainage must be provided to prevent water fromentering the Snorkel Termination. Refer to Dia.
4. Do not attempt to enclose the Snorkel within
the wall, or any other type of enclosure.

Note:

DURA-VENT VERTICALTERMINATIONS

If installing termination on a siding
covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff
or furring strips must be used toensure that the termination is notrecessed into the siding. The four 1)
wood screws provided should be
replaced with appropriate fasteners
for stucco, brick, concrete, or othertypes of sidings.

5) Before connecting the horizontal run of ventpipe to the vent termination, slide the black
decorative wall thimble cover over the ventpipe, then slide the Wall Thimble (Part #942) over the vent pipe.

Diagram 44) If installing the vent termination to a wall withvinyl siding, the Vinyl Siding Standoff must
be used. Attach the Vinyl Siding Standoff tothe Horizontal Vent Termination, but first run
a bead of non-hardening mastic around its
outside edges, so as to make a seal between
vent cap and the standoff. Install the Vinyl
Siding Standoff (Part # 950) between thevent cap and the exterior wall and attachwith the four wood screws provided. Sealaround the Vinyl Siding Standoff on all foursides. Diagram 5. The arrow on the ventcap should be pointing up. Insure that the
1-1/4" clearances to combustible materials
are maintained. See diagram 5.

6) Slide the appliance and vent assembly
towards the wall carefully inserting thevent pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is
important that the vent pipe extends into
the vent cap a sufficient distance so as toresult in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4
inches. Secure the connection between thevent pipe and the vent cap by attaching thetwo sheet metal strips extending from thevent cap assembly into the outer wall of thevent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws
provided to connect the strips to the pipe.
Bend any remaining portion of the sheet
metal strip back towards the vent cap, so
it will be concealed by the decorative wall
thimble cover. See diagram 6.

Maintain the 1-1/4"
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. Checkthe "Rigid Pipe Venting
Arrangments" section forthe maximum vertical rise of
the venting system and the
maximum horizontal offset
limitations.

2) Set the gas appliancein its desired location.
Drop a plumb bob downfrom the ceiling to theposition of the appliance
flue exit, and mark thelocation where the vent
will penetrate the ceiling.
Diagram 8
Drill a small hole at his point. Next, drop aplumb bob from the roof to the hole previously
drilled in the ceiling, and mark the spot wherethe 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 9 to avoid cutting load
bearing members.

Diagram 6
7) Install the Wall Thimble in the center of the10" square and attach with wood screws.
8) Slide the decorative wall thimble up to thewall surface being careful not to scratch thepaint and attach with screws provided. Apply
decorative brass or chrome trim if desired.
See diagram 7.

Diagram 93) To install the Round Support Box/Wall
Thimble in a flat ceiling, cut a 10 inchsquare hole in the ceiling centred on thehole drilled in Step 2. Frame the hole asshown in diagram 10.

4) Assemble the desired lengths of black pipeand elbows necessary to reach from theappliance adaptor up though the RoundSupport Box. Insure that all pipes and elbow
connections are in the fully twist-locked
position and sealed.
5) Cut a hole in the roof centred on the small
drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The
hole should be of sufficient size to meetthe minimum requirements for clearance
to combustibles of 1-1/4". Slip the flashingunder the shingles (shingles should overlap
half the flashing) as per diagram 11.

slide storm collar over the pipe section andseal with a mastic.

Diagram 11: The upper half of the flashing isinstalled under the roofing 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 toavoid obstructions, it is important tosupport the vent pipe every 3 feet, toavoid excessive stress on the elbows,
and possible separation. Wall straps
are available for this purpose. See
diagram 7.

8) Install the vertical termination cap by twist
locking it.
Notes:
a) For multistorey vertical installations,a Ceiling Fire stop is required at thesecond floor, and any subsequent floor.
Diagram 13. The opening should beframed to 10 " x 10" inside dimensions,in the same manner as shown in diagram
10.

b) Any occupied areas above the first floor,
including closets and storage spaces,
through which the vertical vent passes, must
be enclosed.

CATHEDRAL CEILINGS
Round Support (RDS) &Square Support (SQS)
If your home has a cathedral ceiling (no attic
space between the ceiling and the roof), install
the chimney and support as follows.

Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized
in the attic as well as above the roofline.
The galvanized finish is desirable above
the roofline due to its higher corrosion
resistance.

1) Situate the chimney in a convenient location
as near as possible to the appliance outlet.
Cut and frame a hole in the roof for the
support. The sides of this hole must be
vertical with 1 1/4" clearance.

Continue to add pipe sections through the
flashing until the height of the vent cap meetsthe minimum height requirements specified
in diagram 12 or local codes. Note that forsteep 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 thesecases, increasing the vent height may solve
the problem.

2) Place the support in the opening. Lower itto the correct height as determined by thetable and diagram below.

Using a level, make sure the support isvertical. If the support extends above theroof, cut it flush with the top of the roof. Nailthe support to the frame opening using (8)3" spiral nails or #8 x 1-1/2" screws.
Note: If you are using a 6" square support
you may find it difficult to screw itin place because it is fairly small
inside.
Simpson Dura-Vent has provided angle
brackets with this support which can bescrewed to the outside of the support box andnailed to surrounding framing as required.
Use a minimum of four #8 x 1/2" screws
per bracket. In some cases these brackets
may need to be trimmed (e.g.: to fit undera flashing). Place the Finish Collar aroundthe support and fasten it to the ceiling using
the screws provided.
3) Use appropriate roof flashing. Place theflashing under the upper shingles and on topof the lower shingles approximately half ofthe flashing should be under the shingles.
4) Assemble the desired lengths of Black Pipeand Elbows necessary to reach from theappliance adaptor up through the support
box and flashing to proper height as per Dia.
12, local codes or the "Rigid Pipe Venting
Arrangements" section. Ensure that all pipeand elbow connections are in their fully twist
lock position.
5) Ensure vent is vertical and secure flashing to
the roof with roofing nails. Slide the storm
collar over the pipe section and seal with amastic.
6) Twist lock the vent cap on to the lastsection.

Support Extensions - Round(RDSE) or Square (SQSE)
Steep pitched cathedral ceilings may require
the use of a support extension. This piece fits
down inside the support and can be adjusted toincrease the support's length by up to 22". The
extension is attached to the support using theeight metal screws provided. Be sure there is
at least a 2 inch overlap where the extension
joins the support.

CONVERTING A
CLASS-A METALCHIMNEY OR
MASONRY CHIMNEY
TO A DIRECT VENTSYSTEM
GeneralThere are two different types of direct ventconversion systems listed below. Follow theappropriate directions for your installation.
A) Through an existing factory built metalchimney going through the ceiling: A typicalconversion of this type is shown in diagram
1. The concept of direct vent conversion is
to connect an adaptor to an Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) listed 4 inch diameteraluminum flex pipe which is then passed
down through the center of the existing
metal chimney system. Three sizes of Top
Adaptors are available from Simpson DuraVent. The Retro Connector is attached tothe bottom of the flex pipe. The Top Adaptor
and the Retro Connector are attached to theexisting chimney with sheet metal screws.
The appliance is then connected to thechimney with appropriate black direct ventpipe and an adjustable length section.

If the appliance shuts off during operation,
contact a qualified service person todetermine if a negative pressure and/or leaky
chimney condition exists. Do not operate theappliance until the problem is corrected.
Approved for US Installations Only
The use of an existing chimney as an air
intake is not covered under the CGA 2.17M91, ANSI Z21.88a-2007/ CSA 2.33a-2007 test
methods and the resulting ITS/WHI productcertification. The code Authority Having
Jurisdiction must be consulted prior toproceeding with this installation method.

Converting a Factory Built Metal
Chimney
1) Remove the existing chimney cap.
2) Measure the distance from the top end of thechimney to the bottom of the ceiling support
box, add 3" (76mm) to this measurement,
and cut a section of the 4" flex pipe to that
length (the flex should already be extended
to its nominal length).

B) Through the wall of an existing masonrychimney: A typical conversion of an existing
masonry chimney is shown in Diagram 6. A
Top Adaptor and Flashing are used at the
top of the masonry chimney. The 4 inchaluminum liner is connected to the adaptor
and is passed down the chimney and out
through the masonry wall and attached to
the Retro Connector. The Retro Connector
is attached to the masonry wall and thenconnected to the direct vent pipe leading to
the appliance.
Prior to installation and connection of thevent system to a factory-built or masonrychimney, the chimney must be inspected andthoroughly cleaned by a qualified service
person, such as a certified chimney sweep
or home inspection service.
The direct vent system must not be connected
to a damaged factory-built or masonrychimney.
For factory built, zero clearance, and masonrychimneys cleanout doors and caps or plugs
for cleanout tee fittings and ash dumps
shall be secured in place and sealed before
installing a Direct Vent system within thechimney.

Diagram 1
3) Connect the end of theflex pipe section to theunderside of the Top
Adaptor using 3 sheet
metal screws.
Diagram 2.

INSTALLATION
4) Pass the flex pipe down through the centerof the chimney system, and center theadaptor on the top of the chimney pipe.
Drill four 1/8" diameter holes through theadaptor and into the chimney top. Insurethat you are in fact, drilling into the metalon the chimney. Twist-lock the Termination
Cap onto the Adaptor. (Diagram 3 and 4).

Converting a Masonry Chimney
Important: The existing masonry flue
opening needs to have an area of at least
a 36 sq. in. to insure proper intake/exhaustflow.
1) Before cutting any holes, assemble thedesired sections of black direct vent pipe
to determine the center of the masonry
penetration.

Diagram 7
4) To determine the length of flex required,measure from 3" (76mm) above the top of
the Flashing down to the level of the opening.
Add to this measurement the distance fromthe center of the chimney to out throughthe wall. Cut a piece of 4" flex to this length(the flex should already be extended to its
nominal length).

Diagram 3

5) Connect the 4" flex liner to the Top Adaptor
using 3 sheet metal screws. Diagram 2.
Diagram 4
6) Feed the 4" flex liner through the Flashinginto the chimney. Continue to feed the liner
out through the opening in the masonrywall.

5) Pull the flex pipe down through the ceilingsupport box, until it protrudes approximately
3" (76mm). Connect the flex pipe to the Retro
Connector by slipping it into the4-3/4" diameter sleeve on the top side of
the Connector. Use 3 sheet metal screws
to assemble these two parts.
6) Push the flex pipe back up into the ceilingsupport box, center the Retro Connector, andattach it to the support box, or decorative
sleeve for double wall solid packed pipe,with the sheet metal screws (supplied).
The holes in the Retro Connector are prepunched. Diagram 5.

Diagram 57) The connection between the appliance andthe Retro Connector may be completed withsections of black direct vent pipe, together
with an adjustable length.

247) Secure the Top Adaptor to the Flashing. Use
3 sheet metal screws through the side of
the adaptor into the flange on the Flashing(diagram 8). Twist lock the Termination Cap
on to the Top Adaptor.
Diagram 62) Once the center point of the penetration has
been determined, cut a 6" (152mm) dia. holein the masonry. Be careful, if the hole is toolarge, the Retro Connector might not mountproperly, and if the hole is too small, thenthe appliance might starve for intake air. If
there is a frame wall in front of the masonrywall, cut and frame a 10" (254mm) clear
square opening in the wall (centered aroundthe 6" (152mm) masonry opening). IF thereis sheet rock only (no studs) in front of themasonry, the 10" (254mm) clear opening
is still needed, but does not need to beframed. This allows the Retro Connector tomount directly on the masonry and provide
clearance to the combustibles. Diagram
11.
3) Secure the Flashing to the top of the masonrychimney using a bead of non-hardening
sealant-adhesive. If the Flashing is larger
than the top of the chimney, then cut and foldflashing as needed to fit chimney. Diagram
7.

Diagram 8
8) Attach the flex to the Retro Connector. Use
3 sheet metal screws to attach the flex
liner to the Connector. Diagram 9. Mount
the Retro Connector to the masonry wallusing masonry bolts. Re-drill larger holeson connector as needed. Be careful toinsure that the connector is centered in the
opening and the mounting holes line up withthe masonry wall.

GAS CONNECTION
The gas connection is a 3/8" NPT 90o elbow.
The gas line can be rigid pipe or to makeinstallation easier, use a listed flexible connector
and/or copper tubing if allowed by local codes.
Since some municipalities have additional local
codes it is always best to consult with your local
authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 installation
codes.
For USA installations follow local codes and/or
the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1.
When using copper or flex connectors use only
approved fittings. Always provide a union so thatgas lines can be easily disconnected for burner
and/or valve servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines
and flex connectors are usually considered tomeet this requirement.
Important: Always check for gas leaks with asoap and water solution or gas leak detector.
Do not use open flame for leak testing.
Note: Prior to any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system that exceeds
test pressures of 1/2 psig, thisappliance must be disconnected fromthe piping system. If test pressuresequal to or less than 1/2 psig are usedthen this appliance must be isolated
from the piping system by closing
its individual manual shut-off valve
during the testing.

AUTOMATICCONVECTION FANOPERATION
The fan operates automatically - turn the knobon the pedestal control panel to adjust to thedesired speed. The fan will turn on as the stovecomes up to operating temperature. After theunit has been turned off and cools to below a
useful heat output range the fan will shut off
automatically.

Blower:Regency® gas appliances use high techblowers 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 involume depending on the speed settingof your fan speed control.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly
under the burner tube(s) and logs andis made of a different gauge material
from the rest of the firebox and body.
Therefore, the varying thicknesses ofsteel will expand and contract at slightly
different rates which can cause "ticking"and "cracking" sounds. You should also
be aware that as there are temperaturechanges within the unit these sounds will
likely re-occur. Again, this is normal forsteel fireboxes.

918-474b

Adjusting Flame HeightYour heater has an adjustable flame to tailor the
look and heat output to your specific needs. It
is adjusted by turning the flame adjustment dialon the gas control valve.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always turn off the valve before cleaning. For
relighting, refer to lighting instructions. Keep
the burner and control compartment clean bybrushing and vacuuming at least once a year.
When cleaning the logs, use a soft clean paintbrush as the logs are fragile and easily damaged.
2) Clean glass (never when unit is hot), appliance,
louvers, and door with a damp cloth. Neveruse an abrasive cleaner. The gold louvers (andoptional gold door) may be scratched if abrasives
are used to clean them.
The heater is finished in a heat resistant paintand should only be refinished with heat resistantpaint (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 flameof the burner periodically, making sure the flames
are steady; not lifting or floating. If there is aproblem, call a qualified service person.
4) Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation.

DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF ANYPART HAS BEEN UNDER WATER.
IMMEDIATELY CALL A QUALIFIEDSERVICE TECHNICIAN TO INSPECTTHE APPLIANCE AND TO REPLACEANY PART OF CONTROL SYSTEM
AND ANY GAS CONTROL WHICH
HAS BEEN UNDER WATERCAUTION: ANY SAFETY SCREEN
OR GUARD REMOVED FOR
S E RV I C I N G A N A P P L I A N C E
MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE.

7) Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause
condensation and fog the glass. Thiscondensation and fog is normal and will
disappear in a few minutes as the glass heatsup.
Never operate the appliance without theglass properly secured in place or with thedoor open.

5) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually, by
a qualified field service person, to ensure thatthe flow of combustion and ventilation air is not
obstructed.
During the annual service call, the burners
should be removed from the burner tray andcleaned. Replace the embers but do not block
the pilot.

8) Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct
flame pattern has three strong blue flames: 1
flowing around the thermopile and 1 around thethermocouple, and 1 flowing across the rear of
the burner (it does not have to be touching theburner).

6) Keep the area near the appliance clear and freefrom combustible materials, gasoline, and otherflammable vapours and liquids.

Note: If you have an incorrect flame pattern,
contact your Regency® dealer for further
instructions.

GENERAL VENTMAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the venting systemsemi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect
as follows:
1) Check the Venting System for corrosion inareas 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 flashlight down
the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or otherforeign 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 corrosionof caps, pipe, and fittings. It may be causedby having excessive lateral runs, too many
elbows, and exterior portions of the systembeing exposed to cold weather.
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or
fittings have been disturbed, and consequently
loosened. Also check mechanical supports
such as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape forrigidity.

GOLD-PLATED DOORSTop View of pilot flame

The 24 carat gold plated finish on the door requires
little maintenance, and need only be cleaned witha damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive materials or
chemical cleaners, as they may harm the finish
and void the warranty. Clean any fingerprints off
before turning the unit on. If the door starts todiscolour, check the gasket seal and replace
if necessary.

Regency® U39 ULTIMATE Direct Vent Freestanding Gas StoveMAINTENANCE
LOG REPLACEMENTThe 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 thelogs. The pilot light generates enough heat toburn someone. If for any reason a log shouldneed 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 notcovered under warranty.

DOOR GASKET
If the door gasket requires replacement use 7/8"
diameter oval door gasket (Part # 650-920).

LATCH ADJUSTMENT
The door latch may require adjustment as thedoor gasket material compresses after a few fires
and after glass replacement. Turn the adjustable
catch to tighten or loosen the latch.
