FIRST FIRE
The
FIRST FIRE
in your heater 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 you use it with the fan on.
When first operated, the unit will release an
odour caused by the curing of the paint and
the burning off of any oils remaining from
manufacturing. Smoke detectors in the house
may go off at this time. Open a few windows
to ventilate the room for a couple of hours. The
glass may require cleaning.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS
WHILE IT IS STILL
HOT
!
Note: When the glass is cold and the appli-
ance is lit, it may cause condensation
and fog the glass. This condensation
is normal and will disappear in a few
minutes as the glass heats up.
DO NOT bURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PILOT ADJUSTMENT
Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct
flame pattern has four strong blue flames: 1
flowing around the thermopile and 1 around the
thermocouple, 1 flowing across the rear burner
and 1 reaching towards the front burner (it does
not have to be touching the burner).
Note: If you have an incorrect flame pat
-
tern, contact your Regency dealer for
further instructions.
Incorrect flame pattern will have small, probably
yellow flames, not coming into proper contact
with the rear burner or thermopile.
