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
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
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.
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.
