“This wood heater has a manufacturer set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regulations to alter this setting or 

otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual.”  Failure to follow the manual details 
can lead to smoke and CO emissions spilling into the home. It is recommended to have monitors in areas that are expected to generate CO 
such as heater fueling areas. 

“U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Certified to comply with 2020 particulate emission standards using crib wood.”   

Model Regency F3500 – 1.1 g /hr.

“This manual describes the installation and operation of the Regency F3500 catalytic equipped wood heater. This heater meets the 2020 U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency’s crib wood emission limits for wood heaters. Under specific test conditions this heater has been shown to 
deliver heat at rates ranging from 10,959 BTU/hr. to 33,352 BTU/hr.” Efficiency is determined using the B415 method resulting in lower and higher 
heat values. This heater generates the best efficiency when operated using well-seasoned wood and installed in the main living areas where the 
majority of the chimney is within the building envelope. "This wood heater contains a catalytic combustor, which needs periodic inspection and 
replacement for proper operation. 

It is against federal regulation to operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual, or if the
catalytic element is deactivated or removed."

CAUTION: BURN UNTREATED WOOD ONLY. OTHER MATERIALS SUCH AS WOOD PRESERVATIVES, METAL FOILS, COAL, 
PLASTIC,GARBAGE, SULPHUR OR OIL MAY DAMAGE THE CATALYST

"This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned 
hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods."

DO NOT BURN:

 

•  Treated wood

•  Lawn clippings or yard waste

•  Manure or animal remains

•  Coal

•  Materials containing rubber including tires

•  Saltwater driftwood or other previously salt water 

saturated materials

•  Garbage

•  Materials containing plastic

•  Unseasoned wood

•  Cardboard

•  Waste petroleum products , paints or paint thinners or asphalt products

•  Paper products, cardboard, plywood or particle 

board. The prohibition against burning these 
materials does not prohibit the use of fire starters 
made from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax and 
similar substances for the purpose of starting a 
fire in a wood heater.

•  Solvents

•  Materials containing asbestos

•  Colored Paper

•  Construction or demolition debris

•  Trash

•  Railroad ties

Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.

The authority having jurisdiction (such as Municipal Building Department, Fire Department, Fire Prevention Bureau, etc.) should be 
consulted before installation to determine the need to obtain a permit. 
 
Note

: Due to the high efficiency of the F3500 unit. 

Double wall pipe

 is recommended from the stove top to either wall or roof exit. A minimum of 

36" vertical rise is required prior to using any elbows. 
 
This unit must be connected to either a listed factory built chimney suitable for use with solid fuels and conforming to, ULC629 in Canada or UL-
103HT in the United States of America. or code approved masonry chimney with flue liner.

F3500 is tested and certified to ULC-S627-00 and UL1482-2011.
