MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always turn the gas valve to off
before cleaning. For relighting, re-
fer 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 clean
soft paint brush as the logs are
fragile and easily damaged.
2) Clean (never when unit is hot) ap-
pliance, door and louvres with a
damp cloth. Never use an abrasive
cleaner. The gold louvres (and
optional gold door) may be
scratched if abrasives are used to
clean them.
The heater is finished in a heat
resistant paint and should only be
refinished with heat resistant paint
(not with wall paint). Regency uses
StoveBrite Paint - Metallic Black
#6309.
3) Make a periodic check of burner for
proper position and condition. Vis-
ually check the flame of the burner
periodically, making sure the flames
are steady; not lifting or floating. If
there is a problem, call an author-
ised service person.
4) The appliance and flueing system
must be inspected before use, and
at least annually, by an authorised
field service person, to ensure that
the flow of combustion and venti-
lation air is not obstructed.
During the annual service call, the
burners should be removed from
the burner tray and cleaned. Re-
place the embers but do not block
the pilot.
5) Keep the area near the appliance
clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flam-
mable vapours and liquids. 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
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.
