MANUFACTURED MOBILE HOME REQUIREMENTS
INFORMATION FOR MOBILE/MANUFACTURED HOMES AFTER FIRST SALE This Regency® product has been tested and listed by Intertek as a Direct Vent Wall Furnace to the following standards: VENTED GAS FIREPLACE HEATERS CAN/CGA-2.17-2017, and ANSI Z21.88-2017 · CSA 2.33-2017 and GAS-FIRED APPLIANCES FOR USE AT HIGH ALTITUDES CAN/CGA 2.17-2017. This Direct Vent System Appliance must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions and the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280, or the current Standard of Fire Safety Criteria for Manufactured Home Installations, Sites, and Communities ANSI/NFPA 501A, and with CAN/CSA Z240-MH Mobile Home Standard in Canada. This appliance installation must comply with the manufacturer’s installation instructions and local codes, if any. In the absence of local codes follow the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and the current National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 in the U.S.A., and the current CAN/CGA B149 Gas Installation Code and the current Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 in Canada. This Regency® mobile/manufactured home listed appliance comes factory equipped with four 1/4″ diameter holes located near each corner of the base. Fasten the fireplace in place using screw, inserted through the holes. This appliance comes equipped with a dedicated #8 Ground Lug for attachment of the ground wire to the steel chassis as applicable to local codes. See the “Wiring Diagram” section. The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1. This appliance may only be installed in an aftermarket permanently located, manufactured (U.S.A only) or mobile home, where not prohibited by local codes. This appliance can only be used with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other cases, unless a certified kit is used. Ensure that structural members are not cut or weakened during installation.

On Demand Pilot (seven day safety timer)

Important information if using the appliance in CPI (continuous pilot mode) only

This appliance is a ProFlame 2 system fitted with the “On Demand” Pilot, a safety feature which will shut down the gas valve completely by extinguishing the pilot light in the event of a continuous full seven days of inactivity. This only applies if the CPI (continuous pilot) switch is in the “on” position in your remote control transmitter.

Each time the main burner shuts down, manually or through the call from the thermostat, the seven day timer starts again.

The seven day inactivity timer is controlled within the circuit board. Therefore, if in CPI mode and when the pilot light is extinguished after seven straight days of inactivity, the CPI setting on the remote control transmitter will remain in the “CPI” (continuous pilot) position. Therefore, all that is required to relight the pilot would be to press the on/off button on the remote control transmitter from “on” to “off” and back to “on”. Once the pilot has re-established operation will resume as normal. There is no requirement to do anything with the IPI/CPI mode on the remote control transmitter. If the unit never goes as long as seven full days without a call for heat, the pilot will remain lit until it is manually shut-off.

If the unit is being operated in IPI (intermittent pilot) mode, neither the above instructions nor the seven day timer will apply.

See the instructions in this manual and on the Lighting Instructions plate on the appliance to light or re-light the pilot.

Continuous Pilot/Intermittent Pilot (CPI/IPI) selection

See remote control instructions for details.

On Demand Pilot (seven day safety timer)
Important information if using the appliance in CPI (continuous pilot mode) only
This appliance is a ProFlame 2 system fitted with the “On Demand” Pilot, a safety feature which will shut down the gas valve completely by extinguishing the pilot light in the event of a continuous full seven days of inactivity. This only applies if the CPI (continuous pilot) switch is in the “on” position in your remote control transmitter.
Each time the main burner shuts down, manually or through the call from the thermostat, the seven day timer starts again.
The seven day inactivity timer is controlled within the circuit board. Therefore, if in CPI mode and when the pilot light is extinguished after seven straight days of inactivity, the CPI setting on the remote control transmitter will remain in the “CPI” (continuous pilot) position. Therefore, all that is required to relight the pilot would be to press the on/off button on the remote control transmitter from “on” to “off” and back to “on”. Once the pilot has re-established operation will resume as normal. There is no requirement to do anything with the IPI/CPI mode on the remote control transmitter. If the unit never goes as long as seven full days without a call for heat, the pilot will remain lit until it is manually shut-off.
If the unit is being operated in IPI (intermittent pilot) mode, neither the above instructions nor the seven day timer will apply.
See the instructions in this manual and on the Lighting Instructions plate on the appliance to light or re-light the pilot.

CPI/IPI Switch

Figure 20

This appliance comes equipped with a CPI/IPI switch. The functions of both the CPI/IPI switch are as follows: Continuous pilot (CPI) – A pilot that when in operation, is intended to remain continuously ignited until it is manually interrupted. Intermittent pilot (IPI) – A pilot that is automatically ignited when an appliance is called on to operate and which remains continuously ignited during each period of main burner operation. The pilot is automatically extinguished when each main burner operating cycle is completed. The mode of the fireplace is easily changed from an intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI) to a continuous pilot ignition system (CPI) by using remote control as noted above. The benefits of having as CPI are as follows: -Keeps venting primed for trouble free start-up under colder weather conditions or inversions. -Keeps the unit glass warm, which decreases the amount of condensation on start-up -Provides owners with flexibility to choose a traditional continuous pilot. The primary benefit of having the IPI function is a significant savings on fuel as the pilot will only run when there is a call for heat.
Thermostat Icon: If the thermostat icon is not present on the remote transmitter, follow instructions noted below: 1.Remove one battery from the remote. 2. Press and hold down the Thermostat button on the remote. 3. Reinstall the battery(removed in Step 1) while still holding down
thermostat button. 4. If you see “Set” the thermostat option is now enabled. If you see
“Clr” the thermostat option is now disabled. 5. Repeat the procedure if the “Set” or “Clr” to remove or add the op-
tion back to the remote did not appear.
Enable all other functions if not present on the remote transmitter, follow instructions noted below: 1. Remove one battery from remote. 2. Press and hold both the ON/OFF and MODE button at the same time . 3. Reinstall battery removed in Step 1 while holding both buttons–
keep holding buttons, then release the MODE button only. 4.The screen will show either “Clr” or “Set” as the first option avail-
able is to disable or enable a mode.

Figure 21
Low Battery Power Detection Transmitter
The life span of the remote control batteries depends on various factors: quality of the batteries used, the number of ignitions of the appliance, the number of changes to the room thermostat set point, etc. When the Transmitter batteries are low, a Battery Icon will appear on the LCD display of the Transmitter (Fig. 22) before all battery power is lost. When the batteries are replaced this Icon will disappear.

Facing & Finishing Requirements
This fireplace is supplied with a 3″ metal extension trim above the fireplace. The extension trim may be replaced if the framing is faced with a noncombustible material placed flush with the front and side face of the unit and extending from the top of the unit. (ie. tile, slate, etc.)

Unit Assembly Prior To Installation
The 4 Top Standoffs must be correctly positioned and attached to the top before unit is slipped into position.
Top Standoff Assembly
The top standoffs are shipped in a flat position and must be folded into shape and attached.

  1. Remove the standoffs from the fireplace top.
  2. Take each standoff and bend into the correct shape. Bend up at the bend lines until the screw holes in the standoff and the pre-punched screw holes on the fireplace top line up.
  3. Attach the standoff securely to the top with 4 screws per standoff (on opposite corners).

Venting Introduction
The P121E-11/P131E-11 uses the “balanced flue” technology Co-Axial system.The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the outer liner draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and losing warm room air up the chimney.
Note: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it’s own separate vent system.Common vent systems are prohibited. (See “Rigid Pipe Venting Systems” for more details and exceptions).

Vertical Venting with Three (3) 90o Elbows

Horizontal Terminations

Install the vent system according to the manufacturer’s instructions included with the components.

  1. Set the unit in its desired location. Check to determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in the way when the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the unit. Rough in the gas.
  2. Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designed with special twist-lock connections to connect the venting system to the appliance flue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor is an available option that must be used in conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent system.
  3. Put a bead of Mill-Pac inside the outer section of the adapter and on the inner collar. Slip the adapter over the existing inner and outer flue collar and fasten to the outer collar only with the 3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will make this easier). Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing using nails or screws through the nailing strips.
  4. Assemble the desired combination of pipe and elbows to the appliance adaptor and twist-lock for a solid connection.
    Note:
    a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations, located on the female ends of pipes and fittings, are designed to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent pipes and fittings, by orienting the four pipe indentations so they match and slide in to the four entry slots on the male ends, Diagram 1. Push the pipe sections completely together, then twistlock one section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn, until the two sections are fully locked. The female locking lugs will not be visible from the outside, on the Black Pipe or fittings. They may be located by examining the inside of the female ends.

Note: With Dura-Vent, the minimum height is achieved by installing a 45o elbow directly to
the rigid pipe adaptor.

Below Grade Snorkel Installation If the snorkel termination must be installed below grade, i.e. basement application, proper drainage must be provided to prevent water from entering the snorkel termination. Do not attempt to enclose the snorkel within the wall or any other type of enclosure. See diagram 2c.

Snorkel

Diagram 2 Note:
a) The horizontal run of vent must be level, or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot of run towards the termination. Never allow the vent to run downward.This could cause high temperatures and may present the possibility of a fire.
b) The location of the horizontal vent termination on an exterior wall must meet all local and national building codes, and must not be blocked or obstructed. For External Vent Terminal Locations, see diagram in the “Exterior Vent Termination Locations” section.
c) Snorkel Terminations: For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior of the building, 14-inch and 36-inch tall snorkel terminations as shown in Diagram 2a are available, as well as the standard riser vent in Diagram 2b. Follow the same installation procedures as used for standard horizontal termination. NEVER install the snorkel upside down.
Diagrams 2a and 2b: as spacified in CGA
B149 Installation Code. Local Codes or
regulations may require different clear-
ances.

NOTE: For best results and optimum performance with each approved venting system, it is highly recommended to apply”Mill-Pac”sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe connection. Failure to do so may result in drafting or performance issues not covered under warranty.
b) Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every three feet. Wall straps are available for this purpose.

Diagram 2a

**Riser Vent Termination

  1. Mark the wall for a 10″ x 10″ square hole. The center of the square hole should line up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 10 inch square hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of noncombustible material, i.e. masonry block or concrete, a 7″(178mm) dia. (7-1/2″(191mm) dia. for flex) hole is acceptable.

Min. 6-1/4″* (159mm)

Note: If installing termination on a siding covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff or furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall Thimble over the vent pipe.

installation

  1. Slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall carefully inserting the vent pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extends into the vent cap sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches. Secure the connection between the vent pipe and the vent cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips extending from the vent cap assembly into the outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws provided to connect the strips to the pipe section. See Diagram 4.

  2. Install wall thimble in the center of the 10″ square and attach with wood screws (Diagram 5).
    Diagram 5
    Vertical Terminations

  3. Maintain the 1-1/4″ clearances (air spaces) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafter, or other nearby combustible surfaces. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Check the “Venting Arrangement” section for the maximum vertical rise of the venting system and the maximum horizontal offset limitations.

  4. Set the gas appliance in its desired location. Drop a plumb bob down from the ceiling to the position of the appliance flue exit, and mark the location where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole at his point. Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled in the ceiling, and mark the spot where the vent will penetrate the roof.Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters or other framing will obstruct the venting system. Y o u may wish to relocate the appliance or to offset, as shown in Diagram 3 to avoid cutting load bearing members.

  5. A firestop spacer must be installed in the floor or ceiling of every level. To install the Firestop spacer in a flat ceiling or wall, cut a 10 inch square hole. Frame the hole as shown in Diagram 1 and install the firestop.
    Diagram 1

  6. Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow connections are in the fully twist-locked position and sealed.

Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roofline due to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue to add pipe sections through the flashing until the height of the vent cap meets the minimum height requirements specified in Diagram 3 or local codes. Note that for steep roof pitches, the vertical height must be increased. A poor draft, or down drafting can result from high wind conditions near big trees or adjoining roof lines, in these cases, increasing the vent height may solve the problem.
7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base of the flashing to the roof with roofing rails, slide storm collar over the pipe section and seal with a mastic.

  1. Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2.The hole should be of sufficient size to meet the minimum requirements for clearance to combustibles of 1-1/4″. Slip the flashing under the shingles (shingles should overlap half the flashing) as per Diagram 2.
    Diagram 2: The upper half of the flashing is installed under the roofing material and
    not nailed down until the chimney is installed. This allows for small adjustments.
    NOTE: For best results and optimum performance with each approved venting system, it is highly recommended to apply “Mill-Pac” sealant (supplied) to every inner pipe connection. Failure to do so may result in drafting or performance issues not covered under warranty.
  2. Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
    Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid obstructions, it is important to support the vent pipe every 3 feet, to avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps are available for this purpose (Diagram 3).

Installation Procedures for Regency® AstroCapTM Direct Vent System (Flex)

  1. Locate the unit in the framing, rough in the gas. Locate the centerline of the termination and mark wall accordingly. Cut a 10″(254mm) hole in the wall (inside dimension).
    Note: A 1-1/2″(38mm) clearance around the liner must be maintained except that only a 1″ (25mm) clearance is needed at the termination end. We recommend framing a 10″(254mm) x 10″(254mm) (inside dimensions) hole to give structural rigidity for mounting the termination.
    Note: If installing termination on a siding covered wall, furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding.

Note: To make the installation more aesthetically pleasing, we recommend framing out a square to mount the terminal to.

Outside Wall
Furring Strips

  1. Pull the centre 4″ (102mm) liner and outer 6-7/8″ (175mm) liner out enough to slip over the flue collars of the fireplace. (You may wish to cut the liner shorter to make it more workable.) Do not bend liner more than 45o.

  2. Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar and slip the 4″(102mm) liner down over it and attach with 3 supplied screws.

  3. Do the same with the 6-7/8″(175mm) liner.

  4. Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing using nails or screws through the nailing strips.

  5. Assemble the vent assembly by applying Mill Pac to the 4″(102mm) inner collar of the termination and slipping the 4″(102mm) liner over it at least 1-3/8″ (35mm).Fasten with the 3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make this easier). Apply Mill Pac to the 6-7/8″(175mm) flex pipe and slip it over the 6-7/8″ outer collar of the vent terminal at least 1-3/8″(35mm) and fasten with the 3 screws.
    NOTE: Horizontal sections must be supported at intervals not exceeding 3 feet (0.9 meter). (Flame picture and performance will be affected by sags in the liner).

  6. Apply a bead of silicone between the thimble and termination and around the outer edge of the terminal at the wall in order to keep the water out.
    IMPORTANT: Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow or ice buildup may occur. Be sure to check vent termination area after snow falls, and clear to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers, make sure snow is not directed towards vent termination area.

  7. Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble and securely fasten the one with the tabs to the outside wall making sure that the tabs are on top and bottom. Fasten the other thimble half to the inside wall. The thimble halves slip inside each other and can be adjusted for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 walls. The liners must slip over the collars a minimum of 1-3/8″.

  8. Slip the assembled liner and termination assembly through the thimble making sure the termination cap faces up (there are markings on the cap that show which way is up). This will position the termination cap with proper down slope for draining water. Fasten the cap to the outer wall with the 4 supplied screws.

1. Maintain the 1-½” (38 mm) clearance (air space) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, floors, enclosures, attic rafters or other nearby combustibles. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Check Venting sections for the maximum vertical rise of the venting system and the maximum horizontal offset limitations. Ensure that you maintain clearances around enclosures, walls, below or above floors, floor joists, etc. Each appliance has different clearance requirements (top,sides,bottom). See specific appliance manual for details.
2. Set the appliance in its desired position. Drop a plumb bob down from the ceiling/floor joist to the position of the appliance flue exit and mark the location where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next drop a plumb bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled at the ceiling level and mark the spot where the vent will penetrate the roof.
3. Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small hole placed in the roof in the previous steps. The hole should be a minimum of 10-¼ (260 mm) inches. The hole may be round and or square.
4. Slip the flashing under the shingles and line up flashing so it is centered to the hole (shingles should overlap half of the flashing) as per Diagram 1.
Diagram 1: The upper half of the flashing is installed under the roofing material and not nailed down until the chimney is installed.
This allows for small adjustments.

11. Secure inner flex pipe to pipe adaptor by using Mill-Pac over the adaptor. Slide the inner pipe over adaptor and secure with 3 screws.

12. Repeat Step 11 to secure outer flex.

First Fire

Operating Instructions

The FIRST FIRE in your stove is part of the paint curing 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 you use it with the fan on. When first operated, the unit will release an odour caused by the curing of the paint and 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. The glass may require cleaning.
DO NOT ATTEMPTTO CLEANTHE GLASSWHILE IT IS STILL HOT!

  1. Read and understand these instructions before operating this appliance.
  2. Check to see that all wiring is correct and enclosed to prevent possible shock.
  3. Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.
  4. Make sure the glass in the door frame is properly positioned. Never operate the appliance with the glass removed. Never strike the glass or slam the door shut.
  5. Verify that the venting and cap are unobstructed.

Note: When the glass is cold and the appliance 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.

  1. Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be seen when lighting the unit – the logs have been incorrectly positioned.
  2. The unit should never be turned off, and on again without a minimum of a 60 second wait.

DO NOT BURNTHE APPLIANCEWITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.
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 or the film will bake on and become very difficult to remove. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean the glass while it is hot.

This remote control requires coding. See remote coding instructions for details.
NOTE: This appliance will operate with 4 AA back-up batteries installed (see Back-up Battery section for details) during power outages. Only the fan will not operate until power is restored. If the remote is misplaced, the unit can be shut off by flipping the main ON/OFF switch, located on the wall.
IMPORTANT: The remote control system supplied with this appliance has several options for starting/operating the appliance, please read the remote control operating instructions (packed with remote control) to understand how to operate this remote system.

Normal Operating Sounds of Gas Appliances

  1. Clean glass (never when unit is hot), appliance, and door with a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner.

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.

  1. The heater is finished in a porcelain finish or with a heat resistant paint and should only be refinished with heat resistant paint (not with wall paint).
    Never use an abrasive cleaner on the porcelain finish as it may scratch the surface.

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 different 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.
Blower Thermodisc: When this thermally activated switch turns ON it will create a small “clicking” sound. This is the switch contacts closing and is normal.

  1. Make a periodic check of burner for proper position and condition. Visually check the flame of the burner periodically, making sure the flames are steady; not lifting or floating. If there is a problem, call a qualified service person.
  2. CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
  3. The appliance and venting system must be inspected before use, and at least annually, by a qualified field service person, to ensure that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed. During the annual service call, the burners should be removed from the burner tray and cleaned. Replace the embers but do not block the pilot.
  4. Keep the area near the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable 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.

WARNING: CHILDREN AND ADULTS SHOULD BE ALERTED TO THE HAZARDS OF HIGH SURFACE TEMPERATURE AND SHOULD STAY AWAYTO AVOID BURNS OR CLOTHING IGNITION. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE CAREFULLY SUPERVISED WHEN THEY ARE IN THE SAME ROOM AS THE APPLIANCE.

CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON OR NEAR THE APPLIANCE. CAUTION: ANY SAFETY SCREEN OR GUARD REMOVED FOR SERVICING AN APPLIANCE MUST BE REPLACED PRIOR TO OPERATING THE APPLIANCE.
8) Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause condensation and fog the glass. This condensation and fog is normal and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.
Never operate the appliance without the glass properly secured in place.
Flame Pattern
Periodically check the pilot and main burner flames. Correct pilot flame pattern has two strong blue flames: 1 flowing around the flame sensor and 1 flowing across the burner (it does not have to be touching the burner).
Note: If you have an incorrect flame pattern, contact your Regency® dealer for further instructions.
Incorrect flame pattern will have small, probably yellow flames, not coming into proper contact with the rear burner or flame sensor.

Maintenance Instructions

  1. Always turn off the 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.

DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF ANY PART HAS BEEN UNDER WATER. IMMEDIATELY CALL A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO INSPECT THE APPLIANCE AND TO REPLACE ANY PART OF CONTROL SYSTEM AND ANY GAS CONTROL WHICH HAS BEEN UNDER WATER.
