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 door frame is properly positioned. Never operate the ap- pliance with the glass removed.

5)Verify that the flueing 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.

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 non-abrasive cleaner and DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.

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 blow- ers 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 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.

AERATION

ADJUSTMENT

The burner aeration is factory set. Adjustment may be needed due to the local gas supply or altitude. As a general rule if the flame is too yellow open up the air shutter, if it is too blue close the air shutter.
