OPERATING THE GAS LOG SET
an unvented appliance and its ODS pilot system. A
normally operating unvented log set will demonstrate
the following characteristics:
• A lively, realistic fl ame and front ember glow. The
fl ame will be blue/yellow on the front burner and
on the rear burner.
• Clean-burning combustion, that will produce no
soot or smoke after normal break-in.
• Production of no odor, other than normal odors
associated with the combustion of propane or
natural gas.
• Production of water vapor. Water vapor helps to
increase indoor humidity, which may be benefi cial
during the dry heating season.
If you operate the vent-free gas log set fueled by
propane gas, operating characteristics may vary as
the fuel in the tank approaches empty (less than
1
/
4
full). Sooting and other increases in combustion by-
products will occur. Turn off the log set and refi ll the
propane tank.
If total shutdown is desired, turn the valve control
knob from the ON position to the PILOT position. Push
the control knob in slightly and turn from the PILOT
position to the OFF position. The ODS pilot light will be
extinguished. If you wish to relight the vent-free gas log
set, follow the section entitled OPERATING THE GAS
LOG SET - LIGHTING & EXTINGUISHING.
Every Real-Fyre
®
vent-free gas log set that leaves the
factory is quality checked to ensure that it has been
manufactured to the specifi cations to which it was
submitted and approved for certifi cation. This check
includes an operational test to ensure both satisfactory
combustion and operation.
Each installation site for any unvented appliance
presents its own unique combustion environment.
Specifi c factors, such as weather tightness of the
home, size of the room in which the log set is installed,
central heating, ceiling fans, altitude, drafts, pet hair, the
size of the fi replace, paint or soot inside the fi replace,
etc., all have an infl uence on the proper operation of
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING
The Peterson Real-Fyre
®
gas log set has an ODS pilot
that must be lit by hand. When lighting the ODS pilot,
follow these instructions exactly.
A. BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the gas
log set area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the
fl oor, because some gas is heavier than air and
will settle on the fl oor.
B. WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Refer to p. 1 in these instructions.
C. Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas
control knob. Never use tools. If the knob will
not push in or turn by hand, don’t try to repair it.
Call a qualifi ed professional service technician.
Force or attempted repair may result in a fi re or
explosion.
D. Do not use the gas log set if any part has
been underwater. Immediately call a qualifi ed
professional service technician to inspect the
gas log set and to replace any part of the control
system and any gas control that has been
underwater.
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fi re or explosion may result, causing property
damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
