WHEN USED AS A VENTED DECORATIVE APPLIANCE (PER ANSI Z21.60b-2004) This appliance is for installation in a solid-fuel-burning fireplace (masonry fireplace or manufactured fireplace) with a working flue and constructed of noncombustible material. These gas logs may be installed as vented decorative log sets in compliance with ANSI Z21.60b-2004 and National Fuel Gas Code, Section 6.6. The minimum permanent free opening of the fireplace chimney or chimney damper must be at least 29 sq. in.
PAGE 20
INSTALLATION IMPORTANT For all valves, the air MUST be purged from the gas line before the ODS 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 ODS pilot will light properly.
PAGE 21
INSTALLATION (Cont.) I M P O R T A N T Check the gas pressure with the unvented gas log set burning and the control set to HIGH. The gas log set and its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas-supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
PAGE 22
INSTALLATION (Cont.) LAVA-FYRE GRANULESTM PLACEMENT Lava-Fyre GranulesTM are provided as an aesthetic enhancement to the G18 unvented gas log set. Spread the granules (see Parts List) on the floor of the firebox around the front and the sides of the unvented gas log set. BE SURE THAT NO GRANULES ENTER THE MAIN BURNER OR INTERFERE WITH THE BURNING OF THE LOG SET. GLOWING EMBER PLACEMENT The Glowing Embers are supplied in a single bag (Fig. 22-1).
PAGE 23
INSTALLATION (Cont.) EVENING FYRE / EVENING FYRE CHARRED LOG PLACEMENT Log placement is critical to ensure stability of the logs and proper performance of the Real-Fyre® gas log set. Be sure to follow the log placement instructions carefully! (Reference the appropriate LOGS PARTS LIST.) 1. Each log in the Real-Fyre® unvented gas log set is numbered to aid in the log placement procedures. Set the rear log at the back of the burner.

TROUBLESHOOTING POSSIBLE CAUSE 1 SOLUTIONS BURNER SHUTTING DOWN DURING OPERATION A. Insufficient or excessive gas pressure A1. Check gas pressure (check with local gas company). For natural gas, pressure must be minimum 5" w.c. at fireplace with burner operating. Maximum inlet gas pressure is 10.5", w.c. Reading at inlet pressure tap (farthest to valve inlet) on remote-capable valves burners should be 5" w.c. (minimum). With the knob on high, maximum inlet pressure is 10.5" w.c. A2.
PAGE 32
TROUBLESHOOTING (Cont.) POSSIBLE CAUSE 2 SOLUTIONS ODS PILOT WILL NOT LIGHT A. ODS pilot flame lifting off thermocouple/generator A. Check gas pressure. B. Piezo spark not lighting ODS pilot B. Check to make sure piezo is sparking when turning ignitor control knob. (Note: You may need to turn ignitor several times to ignite ODS pilot.) See LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS section. C. Gas supply off/manual shutoff valve closed C. Turn on gas supply or open manual shutoff valve. D. Air in gas line D.
PAGE 33
TROUBLESHOOTING (Cont.) POSSIBLE CAUSE 9 SOLUTIONS SOOTING A. Low gas pressure A. Check gas pressure. B. Drafts in room B. Eliminate drafts by closing heating and air conditioning vents, returns, and outside air vents. Fans blowing directly into fireplace should be turned off when set is operating. C. Air shutters blocked C. Burner air shutters are blocked with debris. Vacuum debris in and around burner area. D. Log placement D.
