first fire

The first fire 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 fireplace for
at least four (4) hours the first time you use it with
the fan on. When first 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.
During the first few fires, a white film
may develop on the glass front as part
of the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the film will bake on and
become very difficult to remove. Use a
non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.

instructions
1. Read and understand these instructions before
operating this appliance.
2. Check to see that all wiring is correct and
enclosed to prevent possible shock.

positioned. Never operate the appliance with
the glass removed.
5. Verify that the venting and cap are unobstructed.
6. Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be

incorrectly positioned.

again without a minimum of a 60 second wait.
8. Remote control requires coding. See remote
coding instructions for details.
NOTE: This appliance will operate with 4 AA back-up
batteries installed (see Back-up Battery section

off by flipping the main ON/OFF switch, located
behind the front cover plate, to the OFF position.

operate this remote system.
operation using an optional wall
thermostat
All Regency stoves ship with a full function remote
control as standard equipment. This allows for basic
on/off function as well as the ability to operate as
a thermostat. With the addition of an optional wall
cradle (820-477-AWT available from an autho-
rized dealer) the remote can reside on a wall and
carry out all the functions of a typical millivolt wall
thermostat as well as being able to control the fan
speed, accent light and the flame height. This is
the recommended procedure for operating the unit
with a thermostatic set point.
If a millivolt wall thermostat is required for bedroom
installation or as preferred method of controlling
the stove there are two options.
Option 1
Wall thermostat and remote. Set the wall thermo-
stat to the desired set point, then place the remote
transmitter in either SMART or thermostatic mode
with a set point 5 degrees above the set point on
the wall thermostat. The burner will fire until the
set point on the wall thermostat is satisfied. The
remote will remain connected and allow full control
of all accessories.
Option 2
Wall thermostat only. Divorce the remote hand held
from the IFC by pressing the Red SW1 button on
the IFC twice. Then operate the unit by setting the
wall thermostat set point to the desired temperature.
** Please be aware that in this configuration the
accent light, flame height adjustment and fan will
not be available.
Battery Backup
To operate the stove during a power outage or
when power is not available.
- Attach the backup battery pack to the 9v connector
in the valve tray labeled "Battery"
- Press the Red SW1 button on the IFC twice (each
time you should get a three beeps in response) to
put the unit into manual mode. Once this is complete
the pilot will spark and ignite.
- The stove can now be operated with the ON/OFF
switch located on the front of the valve tray cover.
The burner will remain lit until the switch is moved
to the OFF position.
