MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always turn the gas valve to the off position
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 clean soft
paint brush as the logs are fragile and easily
damaged.
2) Clean (never when unit is hot) appliance,
with a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive
cleaner. The optional
scratched if abrasives are used to clean
them. The heater is finished in a heat
resistant paint and should only be refinished
with heat resistant paint (not with wall paint).
Regency uses StoveBrite Paint - Metallic
Black #6309.
3) Make a periodic check of the burner for
proper position 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.
4) 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 burners
should be removed and cleaned from the
burner tray.
5) Keep the area near the appliance clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapours and liquids.

6) Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause
condensation and fog the glass.
condensation 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 or with
finishes may be
the door open.
7) 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 nay part of the control system
and any gas control which has been under
water.
8) Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct
flame pattern has three strong blue flames: 1
flowing around the thermopile and 1 around
the thermocouple, and 1 flowing across the
front of the burner.
Note: If you have an incorrect flame pattern,
Incorrect flame pattern will have small, probably
yellow flames, not coming into proper contact
with the rear of the burner or thermopile.

GENERAL VENT
MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the venting system
semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect
as follows:
This
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 Termination Cap, and shine a
flashlight down the Vent. Remove any bird
nests, or other foreign material.
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 to 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
replacement log. The position of these logs
must be as shown in the diagram under Log
Installation.
NOTE:
Improper positioning of logs may
create carbon build-up and will alter the unit's
performance which is not covered under
warranty.
GLASS GASKET
If the glass gasket requires replacement use
a tadpole gasket for the Flush Front (Part #
936-155).
