MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES If the vent-free burner system is installed in a factory built fireplace, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for minimum clearances to combustibles. In the absence of such guidelines, follow the instructions below: Because of these variables, we cannot guarantee that heat warping or discoloration will never occur. The potential for heat warping or discoloration may exist no matter what item(s) you are burning in the fireplace, including wood.

This will help you to be confident operating the burner system when fully installed. See Fig. 18-1 for typical control positions. Fig.
PAGE 19
CHECKING GAS PRESSURE 12 VALVE (Fig. 19-1) Outlet Check the valve regulator pressure at the pressure inlet point. Turn the inlet screw counterclockwise 2 or 3 turns and then place the tubing of the pressure gauge over the pressure inlet point. (The test “inlet” tap is marked IN.) After taking the pressure reading, turn the inlet screw clockwise firmly to reseal. Do not over-torque. Check for gas leaks. Note: Gas pressure should be checked after connecting the gas and prior to any further installation.

LOG PLACEMENT LOG PLACEMENT 20" log set shown WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accordance with these instructions, or failure to use only parts specifically approved with this heater, may result in property damage or personal injury. Each log has a number engraved in the back to aid in the log placement procedures. 1. Place the rear log #1 on the back of the ODS mounting bracket so that the ODS cover fits into the cut-out of the bottom of the log (Fig. 20-1).
PAGE 21
DAMPER CLAMP INSTRUCTIONS (IF APPLICABLE) The damper clamp with hex bolt (Fig. 21-1) is provided as a means to prevent full closure of the damper blade. The clamp is easily attached to most damper blades with pliers or a wrench, and must be permanently installed. The clamp is designed to prevent accidental closure of the damper when installed as illustrated (Fig. 21-2 and Fig. 21-3).
PAGE 22
CLEANING AND SERVICING Only limited cleaning will be required under normal use of the burner system. TO CLEAN THE BURNER SYSTEM 1. Remove the glass / gems. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove loose particles from all surfaces of the system. Do not use cleaning fluids. 2. Dust the assembly and the burner. Using a compressed air duster (commonly available at computer, electronic, or office supply stores); blow through all of the burner ports. See the burner figure on the previous page for locations. 3.
PAGE 23
OPERATING THE BURNER SYSTEM Observe the flames. The flames should be blue at the base and a combination of blue/yellow at the body and tips. Flames should be 2" to 4" tall (see Fig. 23-1). Every Real-Fyre burner system leaves the factory tested and quality checked to ensure that it has been manufactured to the strict specifications to which it was submitted and approved for certification. This check includes an operational test to ensure both satisfactory combustion and operation.
