Maintenance 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 they are fragile.

Incorrect flame pattern will have small, probably
yellow flames, not coming into proper contact with
the rear of the burner.
NormalOperatingSoundsof
GasAppliances
It is possible that you will hear some sounds from
your gas appliance. This is due to the various gauges
and types of steel used within your appliance.
Some examples are listed below. All are
normal
operatingsounds
and should not be considered
defects in your appliance.
Blower:
Regency
®
gas appliances use high-tech blowers
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.
BurnerTray:
The burner tray is positioned under the burner
tube(s) and logs, and is made of a different gauge
material from the rest of the firebox and body.
The varying thicknesses of steel will expand and
contract at slightly different rates, causing ticking
and cracking sounds. You should also be aware
that as there are temperature changes within the
unit, these sounds will likely recur.
PilotFlame:
While the pilot is on, it may make a whisper sound.
GasControlValve:
As the gas control valve is turned on and off, it may
make a dull clicking sound. This is normal operation
of a gas regulator or valve.
UnitBody/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.

Condensation may fog the glass when the ap-
pliance is lit. This is normal and will disappear
as the glass heats up.
Neveroperatetheappliancewithoutthe
glassproperlysecured.
8.
Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct
flame pattern has three strong blue flames: one
flowing around the thermopile, one around the
thermocouple, and one flowing across the rear
of the burner (it does not have to be touching
the burner).
2. Clean glass (never when unit is hot), appliance,
and door with a damp cloth. Never use an
abrasive cleaner.
3. The heater is finished in porcelain or with heat
resistant paint, and should only be refinished
with heat resistant paint (not with wall paint).
Never use an abrasive cleaner.
