AERATION
ADJUSTMENT
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the
adjusting wire up or down. The wire is accessed
through the bottom louver opening. Open the air
shutter for a blue flame or close for a yellower
flame. The burner aeration is factory set but may
need adjusting due to either the local gas supply
or altitude.
Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
3/16" Natural Gas - Orifice # 44
3/8" Propane - Orifice # 55
CAUTION:
Carbon will be produced if air shutter
is closed too much.
Closed - Tall yellow
Open - Short blue
Note: Any damage due to carboning resulting
from improperly setting the aeration
controls is NOT covered under warranty.
Note: Aeration Adjustment should only be
performed by an authorized Regency
®
Installer at the time of installation or
service.

MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1)
Always turn off the gas 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 appliance and door with a damp cloth
(never when unit is hot). Never use an abrasive
cleaner. The glass should be cleaned with a gas
fireplace glass cleaner.
The glass should be
cleaned when it starts looking cloudy.
3)
The heater is finished in a heat resistant paint
and should only be refinished with heat resistant
paint. Regency
®
uses StoveBright Paint - Metal-
lic Black #6309.
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)
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.
Note: Never operate the appliance without the glass
properly secured in place.
6)
Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified serv
-
ice technician to inspect the appliance and to
replace nay part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
7)
Verify operation after servicing.
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 different
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
operation 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.
