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 ap-
pliance with the glass removed.

5) Verify that the venting and cap are unob-

structed.

6) Ensure that the brick panels are installed.

7) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be

seen when lighting the unit, the logs have
been incorrectly positioned.

8) The unit should never be turned off, and on

again without a minimum of a 60 second
wait.

LIGHTING

PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT Gas cock knob cannot be
turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is
partially depressed.

1) Turn burner OFF using "ON/OFF" switch.

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. Depress
the igniter button several times until the

pilot lights. After approximately one minute,
release the gas control knob. The pilot ﬂ ame
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 wall switch, thermostat or remote

control to turn on the unit.

6) Rotate the ﬂ ame height regulator to adjust

the ﬂ ame height higher or lower.

SHUTDOWN

PROCEDURE

1) Use the wall switch, 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.

FIRST FIRE

DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.

The ﬁ rst ﬁ re 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 ﬁ replace for at least four (4) hours the ﬁ rst
time before you use it with the fan on.

When ﬁ rst operated, the unit will release an
odour caused by the curing of the paint, the
burning off of any oils remaining from manufac-
turing. Smoke detectors in the house may go
off at this time. Open a few windows to ventilate
the room for a couple of hours.

Note: When the glass is cold and the appli-

ance 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.

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 ﬂ ame or close for a yellower
ﬂ ame. 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

3/8"

Propane

CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air shutter
is closed too much.

Note: Any damage due to carboning result-

ing from improperly setting the aera-
tion controls is NOT covered under
warranty.

Closed - Tall yellow

Open - Short Blue

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 consid-
ered 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.

Adjustment Wire - Push to close or

pull to open aeration cap.

During the ﬁ rst few ﬁ res, a white ﬁ lm may
develop on the glass front as part of the
curing process. The glass should be cleaned
after the unit has cooled down or the ﬁ lm
will bake on and become very difﬁ cult to
remove. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS
WHILE IT IS HOT.

IMPORTANT

To ignite or reignite the pilot,

remove one glass panel/door.

Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the control knob, resecure
the glass panel to the unit. The unit must not
be operated with the glass removed.
