Regency ® F39 Room Sealed Freestanding Gas Stove 23
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 fi rebox 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 fi reboxes.
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 fl ame 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 au-
dible, 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.
