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 a qualified service person.
5)The appliance and venting system must be inspected before use, and at least annual- ly, by a qualified field service person, to ensure that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.
Note: Never operate the appliance with- out the glass properly secured in place.
2)Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other foreign material.
3)Check for evidences of excessive con- densation, 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 exces- sive lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior portions of the system being ex- posed to cold weather.
4)Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or fittings have been disturbed, and conse- quently loosened. Also check mechanical supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for rigidity.
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 and 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 diagrams under Log Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may create carbon
7)Drop the thermocouple or thermopile down through the extrusion and pull it out of the unit.
8)Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.
GLASS GASKET

General Vent Maintenance
Conduct an inspection of the venting system semiannually. 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 com- ponents should be replaced immediately.
THERMOPILE/
THERMOCOUPLE
1)Open the Bottom Louvers or Grills. Remove the Top Louver or Grill.
2)Open and remove door.
3)Remove log set and embers.
4)Remove grate and burner.
5)Disconnect thermocouple by loosening nut from the valve with a 9mm wrench. Discon- nect thermopile by loosening 2 screws marked TP on the valve.
6)Remove 2 screws from the pilot assembly and pull up far enough to be able to loosen the thermocouple or thermopile with a 7/16" wrench. NOTE: the pilot line is very fragile, use caution when pulling it up.
