Regency® Contura RC500E

The Regency Contura RC500E is for people who want a gas stove that looks modern. Its rounded shape and a view of the fire from three sides make it feel more like a design piece than a traditional box stove, and it comes in matte black or white.

It's practical too. Electronic ignition and a built-in variable-speed blower come standard. If the power goes out, battery backup keeps the fire going, though the blower and interior light wait until power returns. It's a direct vent stove that can vent out the top or the rear, which helps when planning where it goes.

What Makes the Contura RC500E Different

• Three-sided fire view. You can see the flames from the front and both sides, so the fire shows from more of the room.
• Modern rounded design. A contemporary shape in matte black or white.
• Blower included. A variable-speed blower is standard for moving warm air into the room.
• Battery backup. The fire keeps going in a power outage. The blower and interior light return when the power does.

This listing is the RC500E-11 for natural gas. Choose matte black or white.
