FLUEING

THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CONNECTED
TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING A SEPARATE
SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.
This appliance is designed to attach to a 100
mm diameter twin skin or listed gas fuel type
fl ue liner running the full length of the chimney.
A minimum fl ue height of 0.6 m. is required for
masonry applications. The Regency Inbuilt Fireplace
incorporates its own internal draft diverter, so no
additional external draft diverter is required.
Periodically check that the fl ue is unrestricted and
an adequate draft is present when the unit is in
operation. (See page 7 for spillage test.)
Before installing fl ue system ensure that the damper
plate is open and secure to prevent the damper plate
from falling down and crushing the liner.
Install to AS5601-2004,(Australia) NZS 5261 (New
Zealand).
Combustion and Ventilation Air
WARNING: This appliance needs fresh
air for safe operation and must be
installed with provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air avail-
able to the room in which it is to be
operating.
Air for combustion is drawn in through the front of
the unit, therefore, the front of the unit must be kept
clear of any obstructions.
INSTALLATION
TEST FOR FLUE
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 then
close all external doors and windows in the
house.
2) Light the unit and set controls to maximum.
Turn fan off.
3) After fi ve minutes, test that there is a "pull"
on the fl ue by placing a smoke match, or
similar device which gives off smoke, in both
sides of the unit. See diagram 1.
normal draft
downdraft
or block flue
Diagram 1
The smoke should be drawn into the unit. If the
smoke is still not drawn into the spill tube, turn the
unit off and check for the cause of the lack of draft.
If necessary, rectify.
For wind turbulent sites, a wind cap may remedy
the problem. These caps are not included with the
standard fl ue kit and will need to be purchased
separately.
