GENERAL VENT
MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the venting system at least annually. Recommended areas to inspect are:
1)Check areas of the Venting System which are exposed to the elements for corrosion. These will appear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme cases, holes. These com- ponents should be replaced immediately.
2)Remove the Cap, and shine a fl ashlight down the Vent. Remove any birds nests, or other foreign material.
3)Check for evidence of excessive condensa- tion, such as water droplets forming in the liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints, Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and fi ttings. It may be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows, or exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.
4)Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or fi ttings have been disturbed, and conse- quently loosened. Also check mechanical supports such as Wall Straps for rigidity.
THERMOPILE /
THERMOCOUPLE
1)Loosen the thermocouple or thermopile with a 7/16" wrench at bracket.
2)Disconnect thermocouple by loosening nut from the valve with a 9mm wrench. Discon- nect thermopile by loosening 2 screws marked TP on the valve.
3)Drop the thermocouple or thermopile down from the bracket and pull it out of the unit.
4)Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.
AERATION
ADJUSTMENT
The aeration adjustment rod is attached to the air shutter on the burner. The air shutter adjust- ment rod is located under the ashlip on the right side. The rod is used to adjust the aeration on the burner. This adjustment is performed by the installer and is primarily used in installations at high elevations. Push the rod in for a yellow fl ame, or pull out on the rod for a bluer fl ame.

PILOT ADJUSTMENT
Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct flame pattern has three strong blue flames: 1 flowing around the thermopile, 1 around the thermocouple and 1 flowing across the burner (it does not have to be touching the burner).
Note: If you have an incorrect flame pat- tern, contact your Regency® dealer for further instructions.
