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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1) 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 panel may require cleaning.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT
IS STILL HOT!
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.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT THE GLASS
FRONT IN PLACE.
2) Read and understand these instructions before operating
this appliance.
LIGHTING PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: Gas cock knob cannot be turned from
"PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is partially depressed.
1) Turn burner OFF using "ON/OFF" switch.
2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points to "OFF" position
and allow 5 minutes for any gas in the combustion chamber
to escape.
3) Turn gas control knob counterclockwise so indicator points
to the "PILOT" position. Depress the gas control knob fully.
Depress the igniter button several times until the pilot lights.
After approximately one minute, release the gas control
knob. The pilot flame should continue to burn. If the pilot does
not remain lit, repeat operation allowing a longer period
before releasing gas control knob.
4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob further counterclockwise to the "ON" position.
5) Use the ON/OFF switch, wall switch, thermostat or remote
control to turn on the unit.
3) Check to see that all wiring is correct and enclosed to
prevent possible shock.
4) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.
5) Make sure the glass in the door frame is properly positioned.
Never operate the appliance with the glass removed.
6) Verify that the fluing is unobstructed.
7) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be seen when lighting
the unit - the logs have been incorrectly positioned.

MAINTENANCE
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 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 "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.
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.
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 fluing 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 controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
WARNING:
CHILDREN AND ADULTS SHOULD BE ALERTED TO
THE HAZARDS OF HIGH SURFACE TEMPERATURES
AND SHOULD STAY AWAY TO AVOID BURNS OR
CLOTHING IGNITION. YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE
CAREFULLY SUPERVISED WHEN THEY ARE IN THE
SAME ROOM AS THE APPLIANCE.
CAUTION:
ANY SAFETY SCREEN OR GUARD REMOVED FOR
SERVICING AN APPLIANCE MUST BE REPLACED
PRIOR TO OPERATING THE APPLIANCE. DO NOT SPRAY
AEROSOLS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS APPLIANCE WHILE
IN OPERATION
CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON OR NEAR THE
APPLIANCE.
NEVER OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT
THE GLASS PROPERLY SECURED IN PLACE.
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

MAINTENANCE
GENERAL FLUE MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the flue system at least annually.
Recommended areas to inspect are:
1) Check areas of the Fluing System which are exposed to the
elements 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-PLA TED 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 F33-1 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 stepby-step instructions for replacement.
1) Allow the stove to cool before removing or replacing glass.

SERVICE
TROUBLESHOOTING THE GAS CONTROL SYSTEM
Note: Before troubleshooting the gas control system, be sure external gas shut off is in the "on" position.
WARNING: BEFORE DOING ANY GAS CONTROL SERVICE WORK, REMOVE THE GLASS FRONT.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
POSSIBLE
PROBLEM CAUSES CORRECTIVE ACTION
Spark igniter will not
light pilot.
Pilot will not stay lit
after carefully following lighting instructions.
Pilot burning, no gas
to burner.
Valve knob is on.
Wall switch is on.
Piezo wire loose
Defective Piezo igniter.
Piezo wire grounding out.
Electrode is grounding out
and/or wrong location.
Defective thermopile.
Defective thermocouple.
Thermopile/thermocouple
grounding out.
Loose thermopile leads.
TP-THTP on valve.
Defective automatic gas
valve.
Valve wire connections are
loose.
Valve wires are defective.
Spill switch has not been reset (B-vent F/S).
Spill switch is stuck in the
open position. (B-vent INS F/S).
• 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 thermopile 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.
Frequent pilot outage
problems.
Note: For service technicians only. See the Regency Troubleshooting Guide for more detailed information.
(Troubleshooting Regency Gas Products)
ABNORMAL OPERATION
If the main burner does not light but pilot stays on shut down heater and contact your dealer
If excessive carbon on logs or glass contact your dealer
20 Regency F33-1 Freestanding Gas Stove
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 thermocouple may be grounding out.
• 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.
