Maintenance
Once installed and operating properly, your Real-Fyre
®
gas log set will require regular maintenance.
You should inspect your log set and controls (where installed) for the following:
1. Excessive sooting - Some sooting of your log set is normal, adding to the appearance of burned
wood. If excessive sooting accumulates, clean the logs using any of the following options:
Option 1. Spray the logs with clean water when they are being burned and hot.
The soot will lift off and burn off.
Option 2. Brush the soot off with a stiff brush when the logs are cold.
Do not use water or soot cleaners at the same time as brushing the soot off.
2. Moisture may cause the granules and Glowing Embers in your burner pan to settle. To improve the burn,
follow these tips.
a. Settling of sand (or vermiculite) - Using a screwdriver or fl at-blade knife, carefully stir the granules,
loosening the material. Clear up any spills.
b. Embers - Break up any clumps that may have formed, then redistribute the embers on the granules.
3. Debris around the control (where used) - Inspect control and pilot to be sure it is free of dirt or debris.
Service
While some minor service conditions may be handled by the owner of the log set, it is recommended that a
qualifi ed professional service technician be called to maintain and service the gas log set and any installed
control system. The TROUBLESHOOTING section of these instructions serves as a guide for ensuring optimum
performance of your gas log set.
