HOW TO INSTALL THE REAL-FYRE® GAS LOG SET IMPORTANT For all valves, the air MUST be purged from the gas line before the pilot will light properly. The time taken to do this will depend on the length of gas line from the meter to the unit and the length of time since the unit or gas line was last used (in the case of non-use during warm weather, for example). It may take from 3-15 minutes before all the air is purged and the pilot will light properly.
