INSTALLATION IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS The Panorama P121/P121LC/P121RC/P131NG1 or P121/P121LC/P121RC/P131-LP1 Direct Vent Fireplace must be installed in accordance with these instructions. Carefully read all the instructions in this manual first. Consult the "authority having jurisdiction" to determine the need for a permit prior to starting the installation.
INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS P121-1 See Thru Note: These units are non-load bearing.
INSTALLATION P121LC-1 Left Corner Unit Note: These units are non-load bearing.
INSTALLATION LOCATING YOUR GAS FIREPLACE 1) When selecting a location for your stove, ensure that the clearances are met as outlined on page 9. A) P121-1 See Thru 2) Provide adequate clearances for servicing. 3) The appliance must be installed on a flat, solid, continuous surface (e.g. wood, metal, concrete). This may be the floor, or raised up on a platform to enhance its visual impact.
INSTALLATION CLEARANCES The clearances listed below are Minimum distances unless otherwise stated (refer to diagrams on page 8): Clearance to Combustibles from: Back 0" (0mm) Side 0" (0mm) Floor 0" (0mm) CAUTION REQUIREMENTS: The top, back and sides of the fireplace are defined by standoffs. The metal ends of the standoffs may NOT be recessed into combustible construction. Determine the total thickness of the finished floor (eg.
INSTALLATION FRAMING AND FINISHING 1) For ease of installation, frame your fireplace after it is positioned and the vent system is installed. Remember to install the top standoffs. See page 11 for assembly. Use 2x4's and frame to local building codes. CAUTION: Verify your fireplace dimensions, framing methods and finished wall facing details before framing. Determine the total thickness of facing material - drywall plus ceramic tiles, slate, etc.
INSTALLATION FACING & FINISHING REQUIREMENTS This fireplace is supplied with a 3" metal extension trim above the fireplace. The extension trim may be replaced if the framing is faced with a noncombustible material placed flush with the front and side face of the unit and extending from the top of the unit. (ie. tile, slate, etc.) UNIT ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION The 4 Top Standoffs must be correctly positioned and attached to the top before unit is slipped into position.

INSTALLATION 1) 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. Check pages 17-19 for the maximum vertical rise of the venting system and the maximum horizontal offset limitations. Diagram 3 7) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall Thimble (Part # 942) over the vent pipe.
INSTALLATION steep 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 these cases, increasing the vent height may solve the problem. 7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base of the flashing to the roof with roofing rails, slide storm collar over the pipe section and seal with a mastic. 8) Install the vertical termination cap by twistlocking it.

For 0 to 4500 feet altitude Burner Inlet Orifice Sizes: When using copper or flex connectors use only approved fittings. Always provide a union so that gas lines can be easily disconnected for servicing.
INSTALLATION LOG INSTALLATION 1) Carefully remove the logs from the box and unwrap them. The logs are fragile, handle with care - do not force into position. Read the instructions below carefully and refer to the diagrams. If logs are broken do not use the unit until they are replaced. Broken logs can interfere with the pilot operation. 2) Place Log 326 on the front right side of the burner. Ensure that the notches on the far right side of the log fit into the grate posts.
INSTALLATION Repeat step 3 on the opposite side of the burner. Repeat step 5 on the opposite side of the burner. 329 327 327 329 4) Embers should be placed in front of Log 326 and Log 327 and also down the middle between the logs as shown in the image below. 6) Place Log 328 on the middle right side of the burner. Ensure that the log fits over the 2nd grate post from the right. 328 Caution: Do NOT cover burner ports. Grate Post Repeat step 6 on the opposite side of the burner.
INSTALLATION GLASS DOOR REMOVAL 1) Remove the 8 screws that secure the glass door. FINISHING TRIM LOUVERS & GRILLS 1) Slide the Side Finishing Trim up into the slot in the top flange of the fireplace. Push tight against the magnet at the base of the unit. 1) Attach the screws provided to the top left and right corners. NOTE: Do not tighten the screw entirely, ensure that some room is left to be able to hang the grill or louver over the screw. Slide Trim into slot.
INSTALLATION Option 1: REMOTE CONTROL Option 2: WALL SWITCH Option 3: WALL THERMOSTAT Can be used with Option 2 or 3 but not both. Can be used with Option 1 or 3 but not both. Can be used with Option 1 or 2 but not both. Use the Regency Remote Control Kit approved for this unit. Use of other systems may void your warranty. 1) Run the supplied 15' of wire through the back gas inlet opening. Be careful not to damage wire.
INSTALLATION WIRING DIAGRAM three wire power cord can also be used and plugged into a suitable receptacle. White FAN 1 (*by others) ON OFF Nut Black Ground Wire Black (*Supplied by others - install according to local code) Grounding Lug Detail FAN 2 (*by others) Pilot Assembly Caution: Ensure that the wires do not touch any hot surfaces and are away from sharp edges.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1) Read and understand these instructions before operating this appliance. 2) Check to see that all wiring is correct and enclosed to prevent possible shock. 3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks. 4) Make sure the glass in the door frame is properly positioned. Never operate the appliance with the glass removed. 5) Verify that the venting and cap are unobstructed. 6) Ensure that the brick panels are installed. 7) Verify log placement.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Copy of the Lighting Plate Instructions 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 firebox 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.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS 2) Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other foreign material. 1) Always turn off the gas valve before cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting instructions. Keep the burner and control compartment clean by brushing and vacuuming at least once a year. When cleaning the logs, use a soft clean paint brush as the logs are fragile and easily damaged.
MAINTENANCE REMOVING VALVE 8) Remove the Side Base Brick Panels and finally the Long Base Brick Panels. 1) Shut off the gas supply. 13) Undo the pilot tube from the valve with a 7/16" wrench. 14) Undo the quick drop out thermocouple nut on the valve with a 9mm (metric) wrench. 2) Remove the louvers and trim kit. Remove the front door. 15) Remove the Piezo igniter wire and push button assembly. 3) Remove the logs, embers. 16) Undo the "gas out" flare nut with a 13/16" wrench.
MAINTENANCE INSTALLING VALVE 1) Attach the valve to the valve bracket with the 6 (m5x8 metric) screws provided. 2) Reconnect the "gas out" flare fitting with an 11/16" wrench. 3) Reconnect the "gas out" flare nut with a 13/16" wrench. FAN REPLACEMENT 1) Shut off power. 6) Replace fan. 2) Remove top louvers. 7) Repeat for opposite side/corner. 3) Unplug power wires. 8) Reverse steps 1 - 5 for installation. 4) Remove 4 screws securing fan to mounting bracket.
