MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

1)Always shut the valve 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 soft clean brush as the logs are fragile and easily damaged.

2)Clean glass (never when unit is hot), appli- ance, louvres, and door with a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner. The gold louvres (and optional gold door) may be scratched if abrasives are used to clean them.

The heater is finished in a heat resistant paint and should only be refinished with heat resistant paint (not with wall paint). Regency uses StoveBright 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 flames are steady; not lifting or floating. If there is a problem, call an authorized service person.

4)The appliance and flueing system must be inspected before use, and at least annu- ally, by an authorized field service person, to ensure that the flow 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 - do not block the pilot or burner ports.

5)Keep the area near the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable

vapours and liquids.

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 cre- ate carbon build-up and will alter the unit’s performance which is not covered under warranty.

DOOR AND

GLASS GASKET

If the door gasket requires replacement use 7/8" diameter oval door gasket (Part # 650-920). The glass requires 5/8" flat glass gasket. See your Regency dealer.

GLASS

REPLACEMENT

Your Regency heater is supplied with high temperature, 5mm Neoceram silica coated ceramic glass that will withstand the highest heat that your unit will produce. In the event that you break your glass, purchase your re- placement from an authorized Regency dealer only, and follow the step-by-step instructions for replacement.

Removing Glass:

Note: Wearing gloves will protect your

hands while handling glass.

1)Remove the door from the unit and place on a soft surface to prevent scratching.

2)Pull out the door gasket.

3)Remove the 24 nuts holding the glass retainers in place. Do not remove the nuts underneath the retainers.

4)Remove the door catch plate.

5)Remove glass retainers on sides first (3 each side) then remove two center retainers.

6)Remove glass from door assembly. When removing glass, leave white insulation in place.

7)Reverse steps 6 to 2.
