OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
During the
fi
rst few
fi
res, a white
fi
lm
may develop on the glass front as part
of the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the
fi
lm will bake on and
become very dif
fi
cult to remove. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.
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
fi
rebox 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
fi
reboxes.
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
fl
ame 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.
1)
Push in gas control knob slightly and turn to
“PILOT” position.
2)
Push in control knob all the way and hold in
until the pilot lights up. Continue to hold the
control knob in for about 20 seconds after the
pilot is lit. Release knob.
3)
Push in gas control knob slightly and
turn to "ON" position.
4)
Turn ON the
fl
ame switch.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1)
Turn OFF the
fl
ame switch.
2)
Push in gas control knob slightly and turn to
"OFF" position.

FIRST FIRE
The
fi
rst
fi
re in your stove is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is
properly cured, it is recommended that you burn
your
fi
replace, on high, for at least four (4) hours
the
fi
rst time you use it - with the fan off.
When
fi
rst operated, the unit will release an odour
caused by the curing of the paint, the burning
off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.
Smoke detectors in the house may go off at
this time. Open a few windows to ventilate the
room for a couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning after the
unit has cooled down.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
Note: When the glass is cold and the
appliance is lit, it may cause
condensation and fog the glass.
This condensation is normal and
will disappear in a few minutes as
the glass heats up.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.
