The wire is accessedthrough the bottom louver opening. Open the airshutter for a blue flame or close for a yellowerflame.

This is perfectly normaldue to the fact that there are various gaugesand types of steel used within your appliance.Listed below are some examples. All are normaloperating sounds and should not be consideredas 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 a differentgauge material from the rest of the firebox andbody. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of steelwill expand and contract at slightly differentrates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking"sounds. You should also be aware that as thereare temperature changes within the unit thesesounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normalfor 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.Pilot Flame:While the pilot flame is on it can make a veryslight "whisper" sound.Gas Control Valve:As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, adull clicking sound may be audible, this is normaloperation of a gas regulator or valve.Unit Body/Firebox:Different types and thicknesses of steel willexpand and contract at different rates resultingin some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will beheard throughout the cycling process.FIRST FIREThe first fire in your fireplace is part of the paintcuring process. To ensure that the paint is properlycured, it is recommended that you burn yourfireplace for at least four (4) hours the first timeyou use it with the fan on.When first operated, the unit will release an odourcaused by the curing of the paint, the burning offof any oils remaining from manufacturing. Smokedetectors in the house may go off at this time.Open a few windows to ventilate the room for acouple of hours.The glass panel may require cleaning after the unithas cooled down.DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THEGLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.Note: When the glass is cold and the applianceis lit, it may cause condensation and fogthe glass. This condensation is normaland will disappear in a few minutes asthe glass heats up.DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE WITH-OUT THE GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.Adjustment wire: Push to close orpull to open aeration cap.Closed - Tall yellowOpen - Short Blue
