Observe the fl ames. The main burner fl ames should be blue at the base and a
combination of blue / yellow at the body and at the tips. They should be 5" to 8"
above the glass / gems, with the center fl ame being the tallest (see Fig. 13-1).
Every Real-Fyre burner system leaves the factory tested and quality checked to
ensure that it has been manufactured to the strict 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 this appliance presents its own unique combustion environment. Specifi c factors such as
weather-tightness of the home, size of the room in which the burner system is installed, central heating, ceiling
fans, altitude, drafts, pet hair, carpet lint, dryer lint, the size of the fi replace, paint or soot inside the fi replace, etc.
all have an infl uence on the proper operation of this appliance and its ODS pilot system. A normally operating
burner system will demonstrate the following characteristics:
A lively, realistic fl ame. The fl ame will be blue / yellow.
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.
If you operate the burner system 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 burner system and refi ll the propane tank.
WARNING: NO ADJUSTMENTS ARE TO BE MADE TO THE ODS PILOT SYSTEM. TAMPERING WITH THIS
SYSTEM CAN BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS.
When installing the burner assembly, it is important to visually check the ODS pilot fl ame and the burner fl ames.
1. The ODS pilot fl ame must be present when the burner is operating. The fl ame should touch the top of the
thermocouple tip (Fig. 13-2).
2. If the ODS pilot fl ame does not touch the top of the thermocouple tip, then the main burner will not function
properly (see Fig. 13-3 for incorrect ODS pilot fl ame).
3. With the burner off and the ODS pilot fl ame off, and the assembly cool, check the burner assembly, air intake
openings on the ODS pilot, and air shutter openings on the burner for any blockages that could affect the
operation of the ODS pilot fl ame.
