Regency Bellavista™ B36X Gas Fireplace

MAINTENANCE
Continuous condensation can cause corrosion
of caps, pipe, and fi ttings. It may be caused
by having excessive lateral runs, too many
elbows, and exterior portions of the system
being exposed to cold weather.
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or
fi ttings have been disturbed, and consequently
loosened. Also check mechanical supports such
as Wall Straps, or plumbers' tape for rigidity.
LOG REPLACEMENT
The unit should never be used with broken logs. Turn
off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool before
opening door and carefully remove the logs. (The
pilot light generates enough heat to burn someone.)
If for any reason a log should need replacement, you
must use the proper replacement log. The position
of these logs must be as shown in the diagrams
under Log Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may create
carbon build-up and will severely alter the
unit's performance which is not covered
under warranty.
THERMOPILE /
THERMOCOUPLE
1) Open the Bottom Louvers or Grills. Remove the
Top Louver or Grill.
2) Remove the Trim Kit, Glass Door, Log Set, Grate
and Burner Assembly (see the "Log Installation"
& "Glass Door Removal" sections).
3) Disconnect thermocouple by loosening nut
from the valve with a 9mm wrench. Disconnect
thermopile by loosening 2 screws marked TP
on the valve.
4) Remove 2 screws from the pilot assembly and
pull up far enough to be able to loosen the
thermocouple or thermopile with a 7/16" wrench.
NOTE: the pilot line is very fragile, use caution
when pulling it up.
5) Drop the thermocouple or thermopile down
through the extrusion and pull it out of the unit.
6) Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.
GLASS GASKET
If the glass gasket requires replacement use a
tadpole glass gasket (Part # 936-155).

temperature 5mm-Tempered glass. If your glass

in the "Glass Door Removal" section.
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
fi replace glass cleaner. The glass should be
cleaned when it starts looking cloudy.
3) The heater is fi nished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refi nished with heat
resistant paint. Regency
® uses StoveBright
Paint - Metallic Black #6309.
4) Make a periodic check of burner for proper
position and condition. Visually check the fl ame
of the burner periodically, making sure the fl ames
are steady; not lifting or fl oating. If there is a
problem, call a qualifi ed service person.
5) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually, by
a qualifi ed fi eld service person, to ensure that
the fl ow of combustion and ventilation air is not
obstructed.
Note: Never operate the appliance without the
glass properly secured in place.
6) Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualifi ed service
technician to inspect the appliance and to
replace nay part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
7) In the event this appliance has been serviced
check that the vent-air system has been properly
resealed & reinstalled in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
8) Verify operation after servicing.
General Vent Maintenance
Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-
annually. Recommended areas to inspect as follows:
1) Check the Venting System for corrosion in areas
that are exposed to the elements. These will
appear as rust spots or streaks, and in extreme
cases, holes. These components should be
replaced immediately.
2) Remove the Cap, and shine a fl ashlight down the
Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other foreign
material.
3) Check for evidences of excessive condensation,
such as water droplets forming in the inner
liner, and subsequently dripping out the joints,
