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 glass door frame is properly positioned. Never operate the appliance with the glass removed.

5)Verify that the venting and cap are unobstructed.

6)The unit should never be turned off, and on again without a minimum of a 60 second wait.

FIRST FIRE

The FIRST FIRE in your heater is part of the paint curing process. To ensure the paint is properly cured, it is recommended you burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours the first time.

When first operated, the unit will release an odour caused by the curing of the paint and the burning off of any oils remaining from manufac- turing. 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 may require cleaning.

NOTE: When the glass is cold and the appliance 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 ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS STILL HOT!

DO NOT BURN THE UNIT WITHOUT THE GLASS DOOR 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 after the unit has cooled down or the film will bake on and become very difficult to remove. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and DO NOTATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.

LIGHTING

PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT

To ignite or reignite the pilot, you must first remove the glass door.

NOTE: The Gas ON/OFF knob cannot be turned from "ON", "PILOT" or "OFF" unless it is partially depressed.

1)Ensure the wall mounted switch or remote is in the "OFF" position.

2)Turn the gas control knob so the indicator points to the "OFF" position and wait 5 min- utes for any gas in the combustion chamber to escape.

3)Turn the gas control knob counterclockwise so the indicator points to the "PILOT" position. Depress the gas control knob fully. Depress the igniter button until the pilot lights. After approximately one minute, release the gas control knob. The pilot flame should continue to burn.

Only when the pilot holds, without pressure being applied to the gas control knob, re-install the glass door to the unit. The unit must not be operated without the glass door in place.

If the pilot does not remain lit, repeat opera- tion allowing a longer period before releasing gas control knob.

4)When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas control knob to the "ON" position.

5)Use the wall switch or remote control to turn the unit ON.

NOTE: When using the remote control refer to

the remote manual.

*Propane Units Equipped with DC Spark Box.

NOTE: If there is no spark present at the pilot

when depressed, the AA battery may

be weak. Refer to "DC Spark Battery

Replacement" section.

SHUTDOWN

PROCEDURE

1)Turn the wall mounted switch or remote to the "OFF" position.

2)Press "OFF" on the remote control.

3)Turn the gas control knob to the "OFF" posi- tion to turn off the pilot.

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 blowers

to push heated air farther into the room. It is not unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" sound

when ON.

Burner Tray:

The burner tray is positioned directly under the

burner tube(s) 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 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 fireboxes.

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.

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.
