Instructions

ROBERT H. PETERSON CO.

IMPORTANT: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING

INSTALLATION OF YOUR LOG SET

The Peterson Real-Fyre

gas log set is to be installed

only in a solid-fuel burning ﬁ replace with a working

ﬂ ue 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 (ANSI

Z223.1/NFPA 54) and applicable local building

codes. In Canada, the installation must conform with

the Natural Gas and Propane Storage and Handling

Installation Code (CSA-B149.1). A damper 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.
