TEST FOR FLUE SPILLAGE
This heater must be properly connected to a flue system.
WARNING: Operation of this heater when not connected to a
properly installed and maintained flue system or tampering with
the flue safety shutoff system can result in carbon monoxide (CO)
poisoning and possible death.
A “spillage” test must be made before the installed unit is left with the
customer. Follow the procedure below:
1) Start all exhaust fans in the home and then close all doors and
windows in the room.
2) Light the unit and set controls to maximum.
3) After five minutes, test that there is a “pull” on the flue by placing
a smoke match, cigarette or similar device which gives off smoke,
on the edge of the draft hood. See Diagram below.
The smoke should be drawn into the draft hood. If the smoke is still
not drawn into the draft hood, turn the unit off and check for the cause
of the lack of draft and rectify before proceeding.
Note: If the flue is blocked or has a strong reverse flow, the thermally
actuated safety switch mounted in the draft hood will automatically
shut off the gas supply in less than 10 minutes. If the heater turns
off because of this during the spillage test, check for the cause
of the lack of draft and rectify before proceeding.
To reset the thermally actuated safety switch, let the unit cool for
10 minutes, then press the red reset button on the back of the
switch. See Diagram.

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 setting of your fan switch.
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 "crack-
ing" 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.
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.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always turn off the gas 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 brush as the logs are
fragile and easily damaged.
2) Clean appliance and door with a damp cloth (never when unit is
hot). Never use an abrasive cleaner. The glass should be cleaned
with a gas fireplace glass cleaner (when it starts to cloud up).
3) The heater is finished in a heat resistant paint and should only be
refinished with heat resistant paint. Regency®uses Stove Brite
Paint - Metallic Black #6309.
4) 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 an authorised service person.
5) 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 ventilation air is not obstructed.
During the annual service call, the burners should be removed
from the burner tray and cleaned. Replace the embers and rock
wool.
6) Each time 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.
7) Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing con-
trols. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
Verify proper operation after servicing.

GENERAL FLUE MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the flue system at least annually. Recom-
mended areas to inspect are:
1) Check areas of the Flueing System which are exposed to the ele-
ments for corrosion. These will appear as rust spots or streaks, and
in extreme cases, holes. These components should be replaced
immediately.
2) Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight down the Flue. Remove
any birds nests, or other foreign material.
3) Check for evidence of excessive condensation, such as water
droplets forming in the liner, and subsequently dripping out the
joints, Continuous condensation can cause corrosion of caps,
pipe, and fittings. It may be caused by having excessive lateral
runs, too many elbows, or exterior portions of the system being
exposed to cold weather.
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections or fittings have been
disturbed, and consequently loosened. Also check mechanical
supports such as Wall Straps for rigidity.
LOG REPLACEMENT
The unit should never be used with broken logs. Turn off the gas valve
and allow the unit to cool before opening door to carefully remove
the logs. The pilot light generates enough heat to burn someone. If
for any reason a log should need replacement, use only Regency®
replacement logs. The position of these logs must be as shown in the
diagram under Log Installation.
NOTE: Improper positioning of logs may create
carbon build-up and will alter the unit’s performance
which is not covered under warranty.
GOLD-PLATED DOORS
The 24 carat gold plated finish on the door requires little maintenance,
and need only be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive
materials or chemical cleaners, as they may harm the finish and void the
warranty. Clean any fingerprints off before turning the unit on.
GLASS REPLACEMENT
Your F33-3 stove is supplied with high temperature, 5 mm Neoceram
silica coated ceramic glass that will withstand the highest heat that your
unit will produce. In the event that you break your glass by impact,
purchase your replacement glass from an authorized Regency®dealer
only, and follow our step-by-step instructions for replacement.
1) Allow the stove to cool before removing or replacing glass.
2) To remove the door from the stove remove the securing screw lo-
cated between the ashlip and the door, then unfasten the latch.
3) Remove gold hinge caps from door.
4) Lift door off hinge and lay door on a soft, flat surface.
5) Remove the screws in the glass retainer clips and remove the glass
retainer rod. Remove any remaining pieces of glass and ensure
that the door is free of debris. Use caution when removing broken
glass to avoid injury.
6) Install the door screen (Australia only).
7) Install the replacement glass. When placing the replacement glass
in the door, make sure that the glass gasketing will properly seal
your unit.
8) Put glass in place and then position glass retainer rod.
Note: Do not use substitute materials. If your glass does
break, do not continue to use your unit until it has been
replaced.
9) Position the glass retainer clips and door securing bracket. Secure
the glass retaining screws but do not overtighten as this may cause
the glass to break after the unit heats up.
10) Tighten all screws evenly. Do not overtighten as this may cause
breakage.
11) Slip door over hinge pins and put hinge caps back onto door. Latch
door securely using the handle and secure the security bracket
with the screw.
MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Door Screen only in Australia.

Note: This adjustment only to be made by an authorised
person.
PILOT ADJUSTMENT
Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct flame pattern has three
strong blue flames: 1 flowing around the thermopile, 1 around the
thermocouple 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.
MAINTENANCE
Incorrect flame pattern will have small, probably yellow flames,
not coming into proper contact with the rear burner or thermopile
or thermocouple.

Pilot flame may be too low
or blowing high causing the
pilot safety to drop out.
Two way switch wires may
be grounding out.
Thermopile and/or thermo-
couple may be grounding
out.
• Check for spark at electrode and pilot. If no spark, disconnect wire
at electrode and put wire to ground and try igniter again. If still no
spark follow Piezo wire to Piezo igniter to see where grounding may
be occurring.
• Bend electrode into pilot so gas may be able to contact spark.
• Check pilot flame, must impinge on thermopile and thermocouple.
• Clean and/or adjust pilot so pilot is enveloped around thermopile
and thermocouple.
• Be sure wire connections at gas valve terminals are tight and ther-
mopile and thermocouple are fully inserted into pilot bracket.
• One of the switch wires may be grounded. May be grounded to gas
appliance or gas supply.
• Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take reading at thermopile
terminals of valve TP-TPTH. Should read 250 millivolts minimum
while holding valve knob in pilot position with pilot on and wall
switch/two way switch off.
• Replace if lower than specified minimum.
• Turn valve knob to on including pilot. Take reading at TP-TPTH with
on/off switch in the on position. Reading should be 100mv or greater.
If reading is okay and pilot does not hold, replace gas valve.
• Check two way switch/wall switch for proper connections. Jumper
wire across terminals at two way switch/wall switch. If burner comes
on, replace switch.
• If okay, jumper wire at valve at TH-THTP. If unit turns on, replace
wires and/or check where loose wires are.
• Clean and/or adjust pilot for maximum flame impingement on
thermopile and/or thermocouple.
• Trace wires from valve to two way switch/wall switch for possible
grounding against gas appliance and/or gas supply.
• Trace thermopile wires from valve to thermopile for possible
grounding against gas appliance and/or gas valve.
• Follow same steps for thermocouple.
