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 ap- pliance with the glass removed.
5)Verify that the fl ueing and cap are unob- structed.
6)Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be seen when lighting the unit - the logs have been incorrectly positioned.
7)The unit should never be turned off, and on again without a minimum of a 60 second wait.
LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: Gas on/off knob cannot be turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is partially depressed.
1) | Turn stove OFF using the Burner "ON/OFF" |
| switch, remote or thermostat. |
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. Depress |
| the igniter button several times until the |
| pilot lights. After approximately one minute, |
| release the gas control knob.The pilot fl ame |
| 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. |
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1)Use the 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 (push knob in slightly).
3)Turn off all electric power to appliance if service is to be performed.
FIRST FIRE
The fi rst fire in your stove is part of the paint cur- ing process. To ensure that the paint is properly cured, it is recommended that you burn your fi re- place for at least four (4) hours the fi rst 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 detectors 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 aftertheunithascooleddown. DONOT
ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
Note: When the glass is cold and the appli- ance is lit, it may cause condensation 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 WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.
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.
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 operatingsoundsandshouldnotbeconsidered as defects in your appliance.
Blower:
Regency® gas appliances use high tech blowers 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(s) and logs and is made of a differ- ent 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. Again, this is normal for steel fi reboxes.
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 fl ame is on it can make a very slight "whisper" sound.
5) | Use the thermostat or remote control to turn |
| on the unit. |
6) | Rotate the fl ame height regulator to adjust |
| the fl ame height higher or lower. |

CONVECTION FAN
OPERATION
Set the fan speed on control panel at the top rear of the unit to adjust to the desired speed. The fan will turn on as the stove comes up to operating temperature. After the unit has been turned off and the unit cooled to below a useful heat output range the fan will shut off automatically.
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.
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.
