OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FIRST FIRE
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE WITH-
OUT THE GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.
The first fire in your stove is part of the paint cur
-
ing 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
before 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.
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.
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
after the unit has cooled down
or the film
will bake on and become very difficult to
remove. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS
WHILE IT IS HOT.
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 differ
-
ent 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.
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.
AERATION
ADJUSTMENT
The burner aeration is factory set. Adjustment
may be needed due to the local gas supply or
altitude. As a general rule if the flame is too yel
-
low open up the air shutter, if it is too blue close
the air shutter.
NG
10mm open
LPG
10mm open
NOTE:
This adjustment is only to be made by an
authorised person.
Carbon deposits are a possibility on appli-
ances incorporating live fuel effect flames.
