REPLACEMENT

Your Regency stove is supplied with high temperature, 5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass that will withstand the highest heat that your unit will produce.

Never operate your unit with broken glass.

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 a qualified

service person.

4) The appliance and venting system must be

inspected before use, and at least annual-

ly, by a qualified 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.

CAUTION: ANY SAFETY SCREEN OR GUARD REMOVED FOR SERV- ICING AN APPLIANCE MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO OPERAT- ING 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 war- ranty.

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.

GOLD-PLATED DOORS

The 24 carat gold plated finish on the door 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 finish and will void the warranty. Clean any fingerprints off before turning the unit on.

MITRED DOOR

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 re- tainers 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 retain- ers.

Note: Center glass retainers are glued to center glass.
