OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING
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.
3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.
4) Make sure the glass in the door frame is
properly positioned. Never operate the
appliance with the glass removed.
5) Verify that the venting and cap are unob-
structed.
6) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be
seen when lighting the unit - the logs have
been incorrectly positioned.
7) The unit should never be turned off, and on
again without a minimum of a 60 second
wait.
LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot,
the door to the firebox must
be opened.
Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the control knob, should the
door to the firebox be closed. The unit must
never be operated with the glass or door
open.
IMPORTANT: Gas cock knob cannot be
turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is
partially depressed.
1) Turn stove OFF using the Burner "ON/OFF"
switch, remote or thermostat.
2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points to
"OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for any
gas in the combustion chamber to escape.
3) Turn gas control knob counterclockwise so
indicator points to the "PILOT" position.
Depress the gas control knob fully. De-
press the igniter button several times until
the pilot lights. After approximately one
minute, release the gas control knob. The
pilot flame should continue to burn. If the
pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation
allowing a longer period before releasing
gas control knob.

4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob
further counterclockwise to the "ON" posi-
tion.
5) Use the thermostat or remote control to turn
on the unit.
6) Rotate the flame height regulator to adjust
the flame height higher or lower.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1) Use the thermostat or remote control to turn
off the main burner.
2) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the
"OFF" position to turn off the pilot (push
knob in slightly).
3) Turn off all electric power to appliance if
service is to be performed.

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 de-
tectors 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 con-
densation 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.
CONVECTION FAN
OPERATION
The fan operates automatically - turn the knob
on the pedestal control panel 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.
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 blow-
ers 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 thick-
nesses of steel will expand and contract at
slightly different rates which can cause "tick-
ing" and "cracking" sounds. You should also be
aware that as there are temperature changes
within the unit these sounds will likely re-occur.
