GENERAL

VENT MAINTENANCE

1)Always turn off the 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.

2)Clean glass (never when unit is hot), appli- ance, louvers, and door with a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner. The gold louvers (and optional gold door) may be scratched if abrasives are used to clean them.

The heater is finished in a heat resistant paint and should only be refinished with heat resistant paint (not with wall paint). Regency uses StoveBright Paint - Metallic Black #6309.

3)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 a qualified service person.

4)The appliance and venting system must be inspected before use, and at least annually, by a qualified field service person, to en- sure that the flow of combustion and ven- tilation air is not obstructed.

During the annual service call, the burners should be removed from the burner tray and cleaned. Replace the embers but do not block the pilot.

5)Keep the area near the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapours and liquids.

CAUTION: ANY SAFETY SCREEN OR GUARD REMOVED FOR SERV- ICING AN APPLIANCE MUST BE REPLACEDPRIORTOOPERATING THEAPPLIANCE.

CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMA- BLE MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON OR NEAR THE APPLI- ANCE.

6)Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause condensation and fog the glass. This condensation and fog is normal and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.

Never operate the appliance without the glass properly secured in place or with the door open.

7)Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct flame pattern has three strong blue flames: 1 flowing around the thermopile and 1 around the thermocouple, and 1 flowing across the rear of the burner (it does not have to be touching the burner).

Note: If you have an incorrect flame pattern, contact your Regency dealer for further instructions.

Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect as follows:

1)Check the Venting System for corrosion in areas that are exposed to the elements. These will appear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme cases, holes. These compo- nents should be replaced immediately.

2)Check for evidences of excessive conden- sation, such as water droplets forming in the inner liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints, Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and fittings. It may be caused by having exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.

3)Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or fittings have been disturbed, and conse- quently loosened.

LOG REPLACEMENT

The unit should never be used with broken logs. Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool before opening door to carefully remove the logs. The pilot light generates enough heat to burn someone. If for any reason a log should need replacement, you must use the proper replacement log. The position of these logs must be as shown in the diagram under Log Installation.

Note: Improper positioning of logs may create carbon build-up and will al- ter the unit’s performance which is not covered under warranty.

GOLD-PLATED DOORS

The 24 carat gold plated finish on the door requires little maintenance, and need only be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as they may harm the finish and void the warranty. Clean any fingerprints off before turning the unit on. If the door starts to discolour, check the gasket seal and replace if nec- essary.

DOOR GASKET

If the door gasket requires replacement use 7/8" diameter oval door gasket (Part # 650-920).
