Maintenance Instructions
Any maintenance required accessing the
glass door of the unit must be performed by
an authorized service person.
1. Always unplug the power cord 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 brush as the logs are fragile and
easily damaged.
2. Clean glass (never when unit is hot),
appliance, 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.
4. The appliance and flueing system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually, by
an authorized 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.
6. Verify proper operation after servicing.
General Flue Maintenance
Conduct an inspection of the flueing system semi-
annually. Recommended areas to inspect as follows:
1. Check the Flueing System for corrosion in areas
that are exposed to the elements. These will
appear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme
cases, holes. These components should be
replaced immediately.
2. Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight down
the Flue. Remove any bird nests, or other
foreign material.
3. Check for evidences of excessive condensation,
such as water droplets forming in the inner
liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints,
Continuous condensation can cause corrosion
of caps, pipe, and fittings. 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
fittings have been disturbed, and consequently
loosened. Also check mechanical supports
such as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for
rigidity.
CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE
MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE PLACED
ON OR NEAR THE APPLIANCE.
