INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE
OUTSIDE AIR KIT
Combustion air is fed to the firebox through a connection on the rear lower left side of the unit. A free flowing supply of air must be available to this opening at all times. Combustion air may be taken from inside the building if the local building code allows, but performance may suffer. Also, it must go through the 4 in. duct to the connection on the left hand side.
Air drawn from the interior of the building will affect the performance of gas or oil furnaces, and exhaust fans and fan driven appliances. This may cause a negative pressure in the house allowing smoke to back into the home. The preferred source of combustion air is from outside the building. If possible, install the kit on the wind loading side of the building not the leeward or (negative pressure) side.
Note: Do not obtain combustion air from attic, garage or other enclosed space.
1)Put the supplied insulated air duct to a nearby exterior wall. Maximum length of duct is 20 ft. (6.1m). Duct length should be kept to a minimum and as straight as possi- ble. Note: 5 ft. only is supplied with unit. If more than 5 ft. is used, increase the diam- eter of the duct. Termination should be in an area with good air flow.
WIRING THE WARMHEARTH
Field wire main power supply to fireplace for fan kit. (All electrical connections should only be performed by a licensed/certified electrician).
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to dis- connection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
INSTALLING THE BLOWER SYSTEMS
The WarmHearth Fireplace has been designed to meet a wide range of heating requirements. The
radiant heat (through the large glass area) combined with the |
|
naturally convected heat, allows the WarmHearth Fireplace to |
|
adequately heat an average sized room. A blower is |
|
recommended to assist in heating a larger area or one |
|
with wall separations. Through |
|
the use of two separate blower |
|
systems, Regency has |
|
developed the three basic |
|
blower wiring options list- |
|
ed in the diagrams below. |

4)Attach the two ends of the duct (making sure not to damage the insulating cover) after installing the flange on the fireplace side. Duct must be secured by screws or clamp.
Outside Air Inlet must be 6 ft. below
the chimney termination point
Blower switch box slides into bottom louver assembly and is screwed into place. Place label on outside of louver as shown.

The thermodisc provides the user with more convenient control. By leaving the auto/man switch on AUTO, the thermodisc will shut the fan off automatically when the fireplace is too cool to provide adequate heat.
1)Slide blower under side clips (see direc- tional arrows on diagram) and wire to terminal box. Note: hardwire terminal box before drywalling.
2)Blower switch box slides onto bottom lou- ver and is screwed into place.
3)Place sticker on outside of bottom louver.
