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 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 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 StoveBright 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 annually, by a qualified field service person, to ensure that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.

Note: Never operate the appliance without the glass properly secured in place.

6)Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

7)In the event this appliance has been serviced, check that the vent-air system has been properly resealed & reinstalled in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

8)Verify operation after servicing.

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 components should be replaced immediately.

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 condensation,suchaswaterdropletsforming 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 excessive lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.

4)Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or fittings have been disturbed, and consequently 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 build-up and will severely alter the unit's performance which is not covered under warranty.

THERMOPILE /

THERMOCOUPLE

1)Open the Bottom Louver and remove the Top Louver.

2)Open and remove door.

3)Remove log set.

4)Remove grate and burner.

5)Disconnect thermocouple by loosening nut from the valve with a 9mm wrench. Disconnect 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.

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

If the glass gasket requires replacement use a tadpole glass gasket (Part # 936-155).

LOUVERS

The finish on the louvers require 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.
