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 diffi-
cult 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
1/2"
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.
Adjustment wire: Push to close or
pull to open aeration cap.

operating instructions
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 expand
and contract at different rates resulting in some
"cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be heard
throughout the cycling process.
