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), 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 fi nished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refi nished with
heat resistant paint (not with wall paint).

the fl ames are steady; not lifting or fl oating. If
there is a problem, call an authorized service
person.
4)
Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing controls. Wiring errors can
cause improper and dangerous operation.
5)
The appliance and fl uing system must be
inspected before use, and at least annu-
ally, by an authorized 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.

Incorrect fl ame pattern will have small, probably
yellow fl ames, not coming into proper contact
with the rear of the burner or thermopile.
WARNING: CHILDREN AND
ADULTS SHOULD BE ALERTED
TO THE HAZARDS OF HIGH
SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND
SHOULD STAY AWAY TO AVOID
BURNS OR CLOTHING IGNITION.
YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE
CAREFULLY SUPERVISED WHEN
THEY ARE IN THE SAME ROOM

7)
Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause
condensation and fog the glass. This
condensation and fog is normal and will
disappear in a few minutes as the glass
heats up.
Never operate the appliance without the
glass properly secured in place or with
the door open.
8)
Periodically check the pilot fl ames. Correct
fl ame pattern has three strong blue fl ames: 1
fl owing around the thermopile and 1 around
the thermocouple, and 1 fl owing across the
rear of the burner (it does not have to be
touching the burner).
Note: If you have an incorrect fl ame pat-
tern, contact your Regency

for further instructions.
GENERAL FLUE
MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the fl uing system
semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect
as follows:
1)
Check the Fluing System for corrosion in ar-
eas 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 fl ashlight down
the Flue. Remove any bird nests, or other
foreign material.
3)
Check for evidences of excessive condensa-
tion, such as water droplets forming 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 conse-
quently loosened. Also check mechanical
supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers'
tape for rigidity.
GOLD-PLATED DOORS
The 24 carat gold plated fi nish on the door
requires little maintenance, and need only be
cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abra-
sive materials or chemical cleaners, as they may
harm the fi nish and void the warranty. Clean any
fi ngerprints off before turning the unit on.
If the
door starts to discolour, check the gasket
seal and replace if necessary.
