AUTOMATIC
CONVECTION FAN
OPERATION
The fan operates automatically, turn the knob on the side of the faceplate to adjust to the desired speed. The fan will turn on as the stove comes up to operating temperature. After the unit has been turned off and the unit cooled to below a useful heat output range the fan will shut off automatically.
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. 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(s) and logs and is made of a different gauge material from the rest of the fi rebox 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 fi reboxes.
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 fl ame 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.
MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1)Always turn the gas valve to off 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 clean soft paint brush as the logs are fragile and easily damaged.
2)Clean (never when unit is hot) appliance, door and louvers with a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner. The gold louvers (and optional gold door) may be scratched if abrasives are used to clean them.
The heater is fi nished in a heat resistant paint and should only be refi nished with heat resistant paint (not with wall paint). Regency uses StoveBrite Paint - Metallic Black #6309.
3)Make a periodic check of burner for proper position and condition. Visually check the
flame of the burner periodically, making sure the fl ames are steady; not lifting or fl oating. If there is a problem, call a qualifi ed service
person.
4)The appliance and venting system must be inspected before use, and at least annually, by a qualifi ed fi eld service person, to ensure that the fl ow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.
During the annual service call, the burners should be removed from the burner tray and cleaned. Replace the embers but do not block the pilot.
5)Keep the area near the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other fl ammable vapours and liquids.
6)Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause condensation and fog the glass. This condensation and fog is normal and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.
Never operate the appliance without the glass properly secured in place or with the door open.
7)Verify proper operation after servicing.
8)Periodically check the pilot fl ames, see the diagrams on page 11. If you have an incorrect fl ame pattern, contact your Regency dealer for further instructions.
WARNING: CHILDREN AND ADULTS SHOULD BE ALERTED TO THE HAZARDS OF HIGH SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND SHOULD STAY AWAY TO AVOID BURNS OR CLOTHING IGNITION. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE CAREFULLY SUPERVISEDWHENTHEYAREINTHE SAME ROOM AS THE APPLIANCE.
CAUTION: ANY SAFETY SCREEN OR GUARDREMOVEDFORSERVICINGAN APPLIANCEMUSTBEREPLACEDPRIOR TO OPERATING THE APPLIANCE.
CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIALSHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON OR NEAR THE APPLIANCE.
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 to 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 diagram under Log Installation.
NOTE: Improper positioning of logs may create carbon build-up and will alter the unit’s performance which is not covered under warranty.
GLASS GASKET
If the glass gasket requires replacement use 7/8" fl at glass gasket (Part # 936-243) for the Bay Front and for the Flush Front.
GOLD-PLATED
ACCESSORIES
The 24 carat gold plated fi nish on the accessories requires little maintenance, and need only be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as they may harm the fi nish and void the warranty.
Clean any fingerprints off before turning the unit on. If the top louvers start to discolour, check the door gasket seal and replace if
necessary.
