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 the logs are fragile and easily dam
-
aged.
CAUTION: ANY SAFETY SCREEN
OR GUARD REMOVED FOR SER-
VICING AN APPLIANCE MUST BE
REPLACED PRIOR TO OPERATING
THE APPLIANCE.
Normal Operating Sounds of
Gas Appliances
It 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.
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.
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.
Blower 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 op
-
eration 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.
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 CARE-
FULLY SUPERVISED WHEN THEY
ARE IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE
APPLIANCE.
8. Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause
condensation and fog the glass. This conden
-
sation 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.
Note: If you have an incorrect flame
pattern, contact your Regency
®
dealer for further instructions.
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 a porcelain finish or
with a heat resistant paint and should only be
refinished with heat resistant paint (not with
wall paint).
Never use an abrasive cleaner on the porcelain
finish as it may scratch the surface.
4. Make a periodic check of burner for proper posi
-
tion 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 a qualified service person.
5.
Caution:
Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation.
6. The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually,
by a qualified field service person, to ensure
that the flow of combustion and ventilation air
is not obstructed.
During the annual service call, the burner should
be removed from the burner tray and cleaned.
Replace the embers but do not block the pilot.
7. Keep the area near the appliance clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapours and liquids.
DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE
IF ANY PART HAS BEEN UNDER
WATER. IMMEDIATELY CALL A
QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN
TO INSPECT THE APPLIANCE
AND TO REPLACE ANY PART OF
CONTROL SYSTEM AND ANY
GAS CONTROL WHICH HAS BEEN
UNDER WATER.
C L O T H I N G O R O T H E R
FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SHOULD
NOT BE PLACED ON OR NEAR THE
APPLIANCE.
N
ote: If you have an incorrect flame pattern,
contact your Regency
®
dealer for
further instructions.
Incorrect flame pattern will have small,
probably yellow flames, not coming into
proper contact with the rear burner or flame
sensor.
Flame Pattern
Periodically check the pilot and main burner
flames. Correct pilot flame pattern has two
strong blue flames: 1 flowing around the
flame sensor and 1 flowing across the burner
(it does not have to be touching the burner).
