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.
LOG REPLACEMENT
The unit should never be used with broken logs.
Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool
before opening door and carefully remove the logs.
(The pilot light generates enough heat to burn
someone.) If for any reason a log should need
replacement, you must use the proper replace-
ment log. The position of these logs must be as
shown in the diagrams under Log Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may create
carbon build-up and will severely alter
the unit's performance which is not
covered under warranty.
THERMOPILE/
THERMOCOUPLE
1. Remove faceplate, safety screen and glass
door.
2. Remove Logs and burner (if installed).
3. Remove rear log tray by removing 2 screws.
4. Remove pilot assembly by removing 2 screws.
5. Pull pilot assembly up slightly and loosen the
thermocouple or thermopile with a 7/16" wrench.
6. Loosen the thermocouple or thermopile with a
7/16" wrench.
7. Disconnect thermocouple by loosening nut
from the valve with a 9mm wrench. Disconnect
thermopile by loosening 2 screws marked TP
on the valve.
8. Drop the thermocouple or thermopile down
from the bracket and pull it out of the unit.
9. Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.
GLASS GASKET
If the glass gasket requires replacement use a
tadpole glass gasket for the Flush Front (Part #
936-155).
DOOR GLASS
Your Regency fireplace is supplied with high tem-
perature, 5mm Neoceram ceramic glass that will
withstand the highest heat that your unit will produce.
If your glass requires cleaning, we recommend
using an approved glass cleaner available at all
authorized dealers. Do not use abrasive materials.
Do not clean the glass when hot.
In the event that you break your glass by impact,
purchase your replacement from an authorized
Regency dealer only, and follow our step-by-step
instructions for replacement.
CAUTION:
Wear gloves when removing damaged
or broken glass.
FLUSH GLASS REPLACEMENT
Remove the flush door front, see the "Standard
Flush Door" section. Remove the 4 glass clips
from each corner. Slide in the new replacement
glass. Push the 4 glass clips back onto the frame.
The glass must have gasketing around it.
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 dam-
aged.
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 Stove Bright Paint - Metallic
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 ser-
vice 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.
GENERAL VENT
MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-
annually. Recommended areas to inspect as follows:
1. Check the Venting 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 Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other foreign
material.
WARNING
: Do not operate the appli
-
ance with the glass panels removed,
cracked or broken. Replacement of
the glass panels should be done by a
licensed or qualified service person.
