GAS CONNECTION
GAS CONNECTION WARNING: Only persons licensed to work with gas piping may make the necessary gas connections to this appliance.

1. If the appliance is to be installed into an existing chimney system, thoroughly clean the masonry or factory built fireplace.
2. The appliance is provided with an opening on the left hand side of the control compartment. A 1/2″ gas supply pipe must be brought near this inlet hole.
3. Locate the center point where the vent will pass through the chimney above the appliance. Move the appliance into the exact location where it is to be installed. Ensure that the Insert is level.
4. The installer must provide a valve with a plugged tapping, accessible for test gauge connection, immediately upstream of the gas supply connection to the appliance.
   HIGH ELEVATION
   This unit is approved in Canada for altitude 0 to 2000 ft. with the orifice supplied. For 2000′ 4500′ use the optional field conversion kit (Part #400-970 for Natural Gas units and Part #400971 for Propane units). In USA refer to ANSI Z223.1-1988, Appendix F, for re-sizing orifice.

Periodically check that the vent is unrestricted and an adequate draft is present when the unit is in operation. (See page 15 for spillage test.)
Before installing vent system ensure that the damper
plate is open and secure to prevent the damper plate
from falling down and crushing the liner.

DRAFT HOOD CONNECTION

1. Attach the vent to the flue collar on the detachable draft hood. The flue collar of the appliance will fit inside a standard vent and may be fastened directly to the vent by sheet metal
   screw. Diagram 1.

2. Before pushing the appliance into position inside the fireplace, align the draft hood with the guides on the insert top and pull forward.
   While pushing the unit back into place, keep pulling the draft hood forward until the screw
   hole in the spill tube aligns with the screw hole
   in the draft hood locking tab on the underside of firebox top. The screw is secured through the draft hood locking tab into the front of the spill tube. (If screw holes do not line up then
   draft hood is not positioned correctly.)

WARNING: Operation of this appliance when not connected to a properly installed and maintained venting system or tampering with the blocked vent shutoff system can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possible death.

Drafthood Outer Shell Top Shown Partly Transparent

WARNING: This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed with provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air available to the room in which it is to be operating.

Follow CSA B149.1 (in Canada) or ANSI Z223.1
(in the USA) requirements, and any local codes or regulations of the enforcing authority.

Air for combustion is drawn in through the front of the unit, therefore, the front of the unit must be kept clear of any obstructions.

VENTING
This appliance is designed to attach to a 4″ diameter type B-Vent or listed gas fuel type vent liner running the full length of the chimney. A minimum flue height of 12 feet is recommended. B-Vent must be supported by a vent support supplied by vent manufacturer. See chart on this page for minimum distances from roof.
The Regency Insert incorporates its own internal draft hood, so no additional external draft hood is required.

Diagram 1
NOTE: Final gas connection should be after unit is in place to avoid damage to line when pushing the unit into position.

GAS PRESSURE TEST

The unit is preset to give the correct gas input at the specified manifold pressures shown on the label.

The maximum gas manifold pressure is:

Natural Gas

3.5″ w.c.

Propane

10″ w.c.

The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator
built into the gas control, and should be checked at the pressure test point. The pressure check should be carried out with the unit burning and
the setting should be within the limits specified.

22 | Regency U31-10 Gas Fireplace Insert

installation | 23

GAS INSERT AERATION SYSTEM
The aeration adjustment rod is attached to the air shutter which is located just above the orifice bracket. The rod is used to adjust the aeration on the main burner without having to take the appliance apart.

Check for proper draft by placing a match close to
the draft check opening. This should be checked after the unit has been operating for 15 min.

OPTIONAL BRICK PANEL
1. Unwrap the brick pattern panels from the protective wrapping.
2. Remove the safety screen and glass front if it is already installed.

The burner aeration is factory set but may need
adjusting due to either the local gas supply, air supply or altitude.

3. Put the rear brick panel flat against the back of the unit.

Natural Gas: 3/8″ (9.5mm) open

Propane:

3/8″ (9.5mm) open

Note: Any damage due to carboning resulting from improperly setting the aeration controls is NOT covered under warranty.
Note: Aeration Adjustment should only be performed by an authorized FPI Installer at the time of installation or service.
TEST FOR FLUE SPILLAGE

Diagram 1
The smoke should be drawn into the spill tube. If the smoke is still not drawn into the spill tube, turn the unit off and check for the cause of the lack of draft. If necessary, seek expert advice.

Diagram 1

Back Panel

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 external doors and windows in the house.

4. Before installing the side brick panels, loosen the screws for the brick tabs enough so that you can slide the brick clips on to the screws easily but that the tabs are secure. For the location
of the side brick tab screws see Diagram 2.

2. Light the unit and set controls to maximum. Turn fan off.

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, in front of the spill tube. To ensure a valid test, place a scrap piece of sheet metal (or other noncom-
bustible material) between the spill tube and
the upper louver, this will prevent the natural convection of the unit from interfering with the
test. See Diagram 1.

For wind turbulent sites, a wind cap may remedy the problem.
Note: The thermally activated safety switch will sense the change in temperature and shut down the gas valve in the event of a severe downdraft or a blocked or disconnected vent. The switch acts as a safety shut-off to prevent a build-up of carbon monoxide. If the flue is blocked or has no “draw”, the switch will automatically shut off the supply of gas within 5 – 10 minutes. Tampering with the switch can result in carbon monoxide (CO)
If the heater turns off because of lack of draft during the spillage test, check for the cause and if necessary, seek expert advice.

Diagram 2

Brick clip

5. Slide brick panel under brick clips, tighten screws securing clips to complete installation.

The thermally actuated safety switch will automatically reset after it has cooled off. The switch will continue to cycle until the draft problem is corrected. DO NOT BYPASS OR DISCONNECT THIS SWITCH.

FINAL CHECK
Before leaving this unit with the customer, the installer must ensure that the appliance is firing correctly. This includes:
1. Clocking the appliance to ensure the correct firing rate (rate noted on label) at 15 minutes.
2. If required, adjusting the primary air to ensure that the flame does not carbon. First allow the unit to burn for 15 min. to stabilize.

FIRST FIRE
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, 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 after the unit has cooled down.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE GLASS WHILE IT IS 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.

CAUTION
Any alteration to the product that causes sooting or carboning that results in damage to the exterior facia is not the responsibility of the manufacturer.

If knob does not pop up when released, stop and immediately call your service technician or gas supplier.
3. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn to “ON” position.
4. Ensure the receiver is in the remote position.
Set Switch to Remote
Diagram 1
5. Press and release the ON/OFF button on the remote handheld transmitter. An audible beep should be heard from the receiver.

6. The unit will turn on.
If the pilot will not stay lit after several tries, turn the gas control knob to “OFF” and call your service technician or gas supplier.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
1. Press “OFF” on the remote or slide receiver switch from remote to “OFF”.
2. Turn the gas control knob to the “OFF” position to turn off the pilot.
Pilot may be shut off during prolonged non use periods to conserve fuel.
AUTOMATIC CONVECTION FAN OPERATION
The fan operates automatically, turn the knob on the side of the faceplate to adjust to the desired speed. The fan will turn on as the stove comes up to operating temperature. After the unit has been turned off and the unit cooled to below a useful heat output range the fan will shut off automatically.
Note: The remote control will not operate the fan on this appliance. The fan is controlled by the fan speed controller/rheostat.
REMOTE RECEIVER

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: FPI 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.
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.

ON/OFF Button

1. The remote receiver will be located on the lower left hand side of the appliance near the gas valve.

Diagram 2

2. The small black cover plate will need to be removed by removing 2 x Phillips head screws to expose battery compartment. See instructions in this manual on how to replace 4 x AA batteries in remote receiver & 3 x AAA batteries in remote hand held.
Note: Batteries are required in both remote receiver (4 x AA Batteries) & remote hand held ( 3 x AAA batteries) in order to operate appliance using the
remote control.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Always turn the gas valve to off 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 clean soft paint brush as the logs are fragile and easily damaged.
2. Clean (never when unit is hot) appliance, door and louvers with a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner. The gold louvers (and optional gold door) may be scratched if abrasives are used to clean them. The heater is finished in a heat resistant paint and should only be refinished with heat resistant paint (not with wall paint). FPI uses StoveBrite Paint – Metallic Black #6309.
3. 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.
4. 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.

CLOTHING OR OTHER FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE PLACED ON OR NEAR THE APPLIANCE.
6) 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, with broken glass or with the door open.
7) Verify proper operation after servicing.
8) 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 the control system and any gas control which has been under water.
Correct flame pattern has four strong blue flames: 1 flowing around the thermopile and thermocouple and 1 reaching towards the rear burner and 1 toward the front(it does not have to be touching the burner).

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, you must use the proper replacement log. 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.
GLASS GASKET
If the glass gasket requires replacement use 7/8″ flat glass gasket (Part # 846-682) for the Flush Front.
DOOR GLASS REPLACEMENT
Your Regency insert is supplied with high temperature, 5 mm Neoceram 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 from an authorized FPI dealer only, and follow our stepby-step instructions for replacement.

5. Keep the area near the appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.

Flush Glass Replacement
Slide old glass out of the side frames and replace with new glass.
