FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your fireplace 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.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.
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.
AERATION
ADJUSTMENT
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the
adjusting wire up or down. The wire is accessed
through the bottom louver opening. Open the air
shutter for a blue flame or close for a yellower
flame. The burner aeration is factory set but may
need adjusting due to either the local gas supply
or altitude.
Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
3/16"
Natural Gas
1/4"
Propane
CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air
shutter is closed too much.
Note: Any damage due to carboning resulting from
improperly setting the aeration controls is
NOT covered under warranty.
Note: Aeration Adjustment should only be
performed by an authorized Regency
Installer at the time of installation or
service.

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
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.
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
damaged.
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. FPI uses StoveBright Paint - Metallic Black
#6309.
4) Make a periodic check of 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.
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.
