INSTALLATION

AERATION

ADJUSTMENT

The aeration adjustment gears are located on
the valve mounting plate and are accessed
from underneath through the bottom louver
opening.

To access the air shutter loosen the lock nut
and then 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. Tighten the lock nut when
adjustment is complete. The burner aeration is
factory set but may need adjusting due to either
the local gas supply or altitude.

CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air
shutter is closed too much. (Should be
3/16"(4mm) open for natural gas and 1/2"
(13mm) for propane.)

Note: Aeration Adjustment should only

be performed by an authorized
Regency Installer at the time of
installation or service.

IMPORTANT:  Dangerous operating
conditions may occur if the panels
are broken.

BRICK PANELS

1) Unhook the 2 spring loaded hooks from the

bottom of  the flush door and lift the Flush
Front off the unit.

2) Unwrap the brick pattern panels from the

protective wrapping.

Note: The logs must not be in the unit.

3) Insert the back brick panel first by carefully

slipping it between the back wall of the
firebox and the rear log bracket.

4) Put the side panels in next. Tilt them in

towards the middle of the firebox and put
the bottom front corner in first. Be very
careful not to scratch them on the firebox
hardware. Place them flat up against the
wall, they should fit snugly against the top
of the firebox.

5) Next is for the brick panel for the top of the

firebox. With both hands, lift it up with the
widest part towards you and the brick
pattern facing down.

Slip the wide part up and into the top front
of the firebox and then tilt the back side up
over the back brick and push back until the
back of the brick panel rests on top of the
back panel. Slide the 2 top brick clips over
the top brick panel and into the slots at the
top of the firebox. See diagram below.
