installation
A wall thermostat may be installed if desired.
Connect the wires as per the wiring diagrams.
Note: Preferable if the thermostat is installed
on an interior wall.
CAUTION
Do not connect the wall
thermostat wires
to the 120V wires.
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.
Optional Wall Thermostat
Operation Using an Optional
Wall Thermostat
All Regency stoves ship with a full function remote
control as standard equipment. This allows for
basic on/off function as well as the ability to operate
as a thermostat. With the addition of an optional
wall cradle, the remote can reside on a wall and
carry out all the functions of a typical millivolt wall
thermostat as well as being able to control the fan
speed, accent light and the flame height. This is
the recommended procedure for operating the unit
with a thermostatic set point.
If a millivolt wall thermostat is required for bedroom
installation or as preferred method of controlling
the stove there are two options.
Option 1: Optional Wall Thermostat and
Standard Remote
Set the wall thermostat to the desired temperature,
then place the remote transmitter in thermostat
mode with a minimum set point 5 degrees above
the set point on the wall thermostat.
Open the front lower door and locate the remote
override toggle switch which will be located on the
left-hand side. Place the remote override toggle
switch to the ON/MANUAL position. See pictures.
The burner will fire as normal until the set point on
the wall thermostat has been reached. Burner will
shut off once the set point is reached.
The remote will allow you to adjust fan only in this
configuration, no flame.
In addition, if you would like to adjust both flame
height/fan speed with the wall thermostat, leave
the remote in manual mode and both features will
be adjustable via the remote while still using the
wall thermostat.
The wall thermostat will ultimately be the main on/
off control for the main burner in this configuration.
**Refer to wiring diagram in manual
Option 2: Optional Wall Thermostat Only
Remove the batteries from the remote transmitter,
place the remote override toggle switch to the ON/
MANUAL position.
Then operate the unit by setting the wall thermostat
set point to the desired temperature.
Unit will operate on thermostat mode only without
fan, light, and flame adjustment.

proximately 59” (1.5m) above the floor level, well
away from heat sources, kitchens, doors or windows.
Metallic structures or radio interferences can reduce

Make sure to attach the holder in a level plane
without any distortion.
Proceed as follow:
- Position the holder on the wall, using a level, mark
the points for the holes.
-Use a stud finder to determine if plugs are required
to drill into the wall and secure plugs to wall.
