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 door frame is properly positioned. Never operate the ap- pliance with the glass removed.
5)Verify that the venting and cap are unob- structed.
6)Ensure that the brick panels are installed.
7)Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be seen when lighting the unit, the logs have been incorrectly positioned.
8)The unit should never be turned off, and on again without a minimum of a 60 second wait.
LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT Gas cock knob cannot be turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is partially depressed.
1)Turn burner OFF using "ON/OFF" switch.
2)Turn gas control knob so indicator points to "OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for any gas in the combustion chamber to escape.
3)Turn gas control knob counterclockwise so indicator points to the "PILOT" position. Depress the gas control knob fully. De- press the igniter button several times until the pilot lights. After approximately one minute, release the gas control knob. The pilot flame should continue to burn. If the pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation allowing a longer period before releasing gas control knob.
4)When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob further counterclockwise to the "ON" po- sition.
5)Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote control to turn on the unit.
6)Rotate the flame height regulator to adjust the flame height higher or lower.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1)Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote control to turn off the main burner.
2)Turn the main gas control clockwise to the "OFF" position to turn off the pilot.
FIRST FIRE
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.
The first fire in your stove is part of the paint curing process. To ensure that the paint is properly cured, it is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours the first time before you use it with the fan on.
When first operated, the unit will release an odour caused by the curing of the paint, 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.
Note: When the glass is cold and the appliance is lit, it may cause con- densation and fog the glass. This condensation is normal and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.
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
AERATION
ADJUSTMENT
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the adjusting wire up or down. The wire is ac- cessed through the bottom louver opening. Open the air shutter for a blue flame or close for a yellower flame. The burner aeration is factory set but may need adjusting due to either the local gas supply or altitude.
Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
3/16" Natural Gas
3/8" Propane
CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air shutter is closed too much.
Note: Any damage due to carboning re- sulting from improperly setting the aeration controls is NOT cov- ered under warranty.
Adjustment Wire - Pull down to open or
push up to close aeration cap.
Closed - Tall yellow
Open - Short Blue
Note: Aeration Adjustment should only be performed by an authorized Regency Installer at the time of installation or service.
NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS OF GAS
APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds from your gas appliance. This is perfectly nor- mal due to the fact that there are various gauges and types of steel used within your appliance. Listed below are some examples. All are nor- mal 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 firebox and body. Therefore, the varying thick- nesses of steel will expand and contract at slightly different rates which can cause "tick- ing" and "cracking" sounds. You should also be aware that as there are temperature changes within the unit these sounds will likely
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.
