ment of lint and house dust by brushing
and vacuuming at least once a year. When
cleaning the logs, use a soft clean brush as
the logs are fragile and easily damaged.
During the annual service the burners
should be removed from the burner tray
and cleaned. Replace logs and embers
as per instructions on page 8.
2)
Clean glass (never when unit is hot), appli-
ance, louvres, and door with a damp cloth.
Never use an abrasive cleaner. The gold
louvres (and optional gold door) may be
scratched if abrasives are used to clean
them.
The heater is finished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refinished 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 flames are steady; not lifting or floating. If
there is a problem, call an authorized service
person or your local dealer.
4)
The appliance and flueing system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually,
ONLY by an authorised 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,
NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS OF
GAS APPLIANCES
IIt 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.
Fan:
Regency gas appliances use high tech fans 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 switch.
burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a differ-
ent gauge material from the rest of the firebox
and body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of
steel will expand and contract at slightly different
rates which can cause "ticking" 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.
Fan 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 but may need
adjusting due to either the local gas supply or
altitude.
F43-NG Natural Gas: 1/4" open
F43-LP Propane:
Fully open (rear) and
fully open (front)
F28-NG Natural Gas 1/8" open
F28-LP Propane
3/8" open
The aeration adjustment gears are located on
the right side of the burner box and can be ac-
cessed from the side or from the front when the
louvers are removed.
To adjust the aeration: use the allen key to turn
the turning gear which will adjust the air shutter.
Open the air shutter for a blue flame or close it for
a yellower flame. This adjustment is performed
by a qualified installer. The factory setting should
be sufficient for most installations.
Clockwise to open,
counter-clockwise to close.
