INSTRUCTIONS
1)Always turn off the valve 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 paint brush as the logs are fragile and easily damaged.
2)Clean glass (never when unit is hot), appliance, louvers, and door 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 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 fl ames are steady; not lifting or fl oating. If there is a problem, call a qualifi ed service person.
4)Caution:Labelallwirespriortodisconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
5)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.

GENERAL VENT
MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the venting system
1)Check the Venting System for corrosion in areas that are exposed to the elements. Thesewillappearasrustspotsorstreaks,and in extreme cases, holes.These components should be replaced immediately.
2)RemovetheCap,andshineaflashlightdown the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other foreign material.
3)Check for evidences of excessive condensation,suchaswaterdropletsforming in the inner liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints, Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and fi ttings. It may be caused by having excessive lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior portions of the system being exposed to cold weather.
4)Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or fi ttings have been disturbed, and consequently loosened. Also check mechanical supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for rigidity.
