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.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on the
glass.
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 WITH-
OUT THE GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.
OPERATION
The fan operates automatically, turn the knob on
the side of the faceplate to adjust to the desired
speed. The fan will turn on as the stove comes up
to operating temperature. After the unit has been
turned off and the unit cooled to below a useful heat
output range the fan will shut off automatically. This
fan is required for normal operation. If the fan stops
working at anytime the unit will automatically turn
off after a delay of approximately 15-30 minutes.
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 opera-
tion of a gas regulator or valve.
Unit Body/Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will ex-
pand and contract at different rates resulting in
some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be heard
throughout the cycling process.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Always turn the gas valve to off 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 dam-
aged.
2. Clean (never when unit is hot) appliance, door
and louvers with a damp cloth. Never use an
abrasive cleaner. The gold louvers (and optional
gold door) may be scratched if abrasives are
used to clean them.
The heater is finished in a heat resistant paint
and should only be refinished with heat resist-
ant paint (not with wall paint). Regency
StoveBrite Paint - Metallic Black #6309.
3. 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.
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 from the burner tray and
cleaned. Replace the embers but do not block
the pilot.
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. This conden-
sation 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 the door open.
7. Verify proper operation after servicing.
8. Periodically check the pilot flames, see the
diagrams in the "Valve Description" section.
If you have an incorrect flame pattern, contact
your Regency
®
dealer for further instructions.
