This burner system is to be installed only in a solid-fuel-

burning ﬁ replace with a working ﬂ ue and constructed

of noncombustible material. Solid fuels shall not be

burned in a ﬁ replace where this gas log set is installed.

The installation, including provisions for combustion,

ventilation air, and required minimum permanent vent

opening, must conform with the National Fuel Gas

Code (

Z223.1) and applicable local building codes. A

damper stop clamp is included to maintain the minimum

permanent vent opening and to prevent full closure of

the damper blade. The chimney damper should be

fully opened when burning the log set. The log set is

designed to burn with yellow ﬂ ames; thus, adequate

ventilation is absolutely necessary.

IMPORTANT - Read This Manual Carefully Before Starting Installation of the Log Set When the log set is burning, the fireplace damper must be fully open. The Peterson RealFyre® gas log set is to be burned only in a fully vented, noncombustible fireplace with damper and chimney free of any obstructions. The fireplace must be designed and approved to burn wood. As with burning natural firewood, the Real-Fyre® log set is designed to burn with yellow, smoky flames. For this reason, it must be adequately vented.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN - IMPORTANT INFORMATION Before you begin, review the below information and safeguards about the installation and operation of the Real-Fyre® gas log set. Check to be sure the fireplace meets venting and construction requirements for the installation of the RealFyre® gas log set (see FIREPLACE REQUIREMENTS section, below). Check to be sure the gas log set is designed for the proper gas type. Real-Fyre® log sets are designed for use with natural gas unless clearly labeled for propane gas.

INSTALLING THE DAMPER CLAMP A damper clamp (Item #8) is provided as a means to prevent full and/or accidental closure of the fireplace damper when installed as illustrated (Fig. 5-1). When the gas log set is operating, the damper must be fully open. To install the damper clamp: 4. Should the damper clamp not fit, install a permanent damper stop or provide some other means of preventing full and/or accidental closure of the damper. 1. Open the fireplace damper. 2.

INSTALLING THE BURNER SYSTEM (Cont.) 3. Check to be sure the Real-Fyre® gas log set is designed for the type of gas that fuels the fireplace. 4. Be sure the gas supply to the fireplace is turned off. 5. Clean the floor of the fireplace of any dirt or ashes. 6. Remove the cap from the gas-supply line stub in the fireplace (Fig. 6-1). CAUTION: Be sure that, when removing the cap, the stub does not turn, loosening the connection inside the wall. Place the burner pan under the grate.

INSTALLING THE BURNER SYSTEM (Cont.) Check to see if the burner fuel injector or air mixer is installed on the side of the burner closest to the gas connection. The fuel injector or air mixer may be mounted at either end of the burner pan. Be sure the opposite end is capped tightly.

PLACEMENT OF GRANULES, GLOWING EMBERS, AND GRATE 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.

GAS LOG PLACEMENT The beauty and design of the Real-Fyre® gas logs are the result of skilled craftsmanship, research, and engineering. The fine-quality materials used to mold the logs are formulated from kiln-fired ceramics, superior refractories, and the best expanded shales and aggregates, all exactly proportioned. Added to this material are steel reinforcing rods, precisely sized and designed to prevent breakage. This creates realistic, long-lasting logs.
