2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points to
"OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for any
gas in the combustion chamber to escape.
3) Turn gas control knob counterclockwise so
indicator points to the "PILOT" position.
Depress the gas control knob fully. De-
press the igniter button several times until
the pilot lights. After approximately one
minute, release the gas control knob. The
pilot flame should continue to burn. If the
pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation
allowing a longer period before releasing
gas control knob.
4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob
further counterclockwise to the "ON" posi-
tion.
5) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote
control to turn on the unit.
6) Rotate the flame height regulator to adjust
the flame height higher or lower.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote
control to turn off the main burner.
2) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the
"OFF" position to turn off the pilot.
3) Turn off all electric power to appliance if
service is to be performed.
FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your stove is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is
properly cured, it is recommended that you burn
your fireplace for at least four (4) hours the first
time you use it with the fan on. When first
operated, the unit will release an odour caused
by the curing of the paint, the burning off of any
oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke de-
tectors in the house may go off at this time. Open
a few windows to ventilate the room for a
couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning
after the unit has cooled down.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
During the first few fires, a white film
may develop on the glass front as part
of the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the film will bake on and
become very difficult to remove. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.
Note: When the glass is cold and the
appliance is lit, it may cause con-
densation and fog the glass. This
condensation is normal and will
disappear in a few minutes as the
glass heats up.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE WITH-
OUT THE GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.
NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS OF
GAS APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds
from your gas appliance. This is perfectly
normal due to the fact that there are various
gauges and types of steel used within your
appliance. Listed below are some examples.
All are normal operating sounds and should
not be considered as defects in your appliance.
Blower:
Regency gas appliances use high tech blow-
ers to push heated air farther into the room. It
is not unusual for the fan to make a "whirring"
sound when ON. This sound will increase or
decrease in volume depending on the speed
setting of your fan speed control.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube 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 differ-
ent rates which can cause "ticking" and "crack-
ing" sounds. You should also be aware that as
there are temperature changes within the unit
these sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is
normal for steel fireboxes.
Blower Thermodisc:
When this thermally activated switch turns ON
it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the
switch contacts closing and is normal.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot flame is on it can make a very
slight "whisper" sound.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a
dull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal
operation of a gas regulator or valve.
MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
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 vacu-
uming at least once a year. When cleaning
the logs, use a soft clean paint brush as the
logs are fragile and easily damaged.
2) Clean appliance and door with a damp cloth
(never when unit is hot). Never use an
abrasive cleaner. The glass should be
cleaned with a gas fireplace glass cleaner.
The glass should be cleaned when it
starts looking cloudy.
3) The heater is finished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refinished with
heat resistant paint. Regency uses Stove-
Bright Paint - Metallic Black #6309.
4) Make a periodic check of burner for proper
position and condition. Visually check the
flame of the burner periodically, making
sure the flames are steady; not lifting or
floating. If there is a problem, call an author-
ized service person.
5) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annual-
ly, by an authorized field service person, to
ensure that the flow of combustion and
ventilation air is not obstructed.
6) Verify proper operation after servicing.
Note: Never operate the appliance with-
out the glass properly secured in
place.
Unit Body/Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will
expand and contract at different rates resulting
in some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be
heard throughout the cycling process.
