To ensure that the paint isproperly cured, it is recommended that you burnyour fireplace for at least four (4) hours the firsttime before you use it with the fan on.When first operated, the unit will release anodour caused by the curing of the paint, theburning off of any oils remaining from manufac-turing. Smoke detectors in the house may go offat this time. Open a few windows to ventilate theroom for a couple of hours.Note: When the glass is cold and theappliance is lit, it may cause con-densation and fog the glass. Thiscondensation is normal and willdisappear in a few minutes as theglass heats up.During the first few fires, a white filmmay develop on the glass front as part ofthe curing process. The glass should becleaned after the unit has cooled downor the film will bake on and become verydifficult to remove. Use a non-abrasivecleaner and DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEANTHE GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.AERATIONADJUSTMENTThe air shutter can be adjusted by moving theadjusting wire up or down. The wire is ac-cessed through the bottom louver opening.Open the air shutter for a blue flame or close fora yellower flame. The burner aeration is factoryset but may need adjusting due to either the localgas supply or altitude.Minimum Air Shutter Opening:3/16" Natural Gas3/8" PropaneClosed - Tall yellowOpen - Short BlueNote: Aeration Adjustment should onlybe performed by an authorizedRegency Installer at the time ofinstallation or service.NORMAL OPERATINGSOUNDS OF GASAPPLIANCESIt is possible that you will hear some soundsfrom your gas appliance. This is perfectly nor-mal due to the fact that there are various gaugesand types of steel used within your appliance.Listed below are some examples. All are nor-mal operating sounds and should not beconsidered as defects in your appliance.Blower:Regency gas appliances use high tech blowersto push heated air farther into the room. It is notunusual for the fan to make a "whirring" soundwhen ON. This sound will increase or decreasein volume depending on the speed setting ofyour fan speed control.Burner Tray:The burner tray is positioned directly under theburner tube(s) and logs and is made of adifferent gauge material from the rest of thefirebox and body. Therefore, the varying thick-nesses of steel will expand and contract atslightly different rates which can cause "tick-ing" and "cracking" sounds. You should also beaware that as there are temperature changeswithin the unit these sounds will likely re-occur.Again, this is normal for steel fireboxes.Blower Thermodisc:When this thermally activated switch turns ONit will create a small "clicking" sound. This is theswitch contacts closing and is normal.CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if airshutter is closed too much.Note: Any damage due to carboning re-sulting from improperly settingthe aeration controls is NOT cov-ered under warranty.Adjustment Wire - Pull down to open orpush up to close aeration cap.
