The damper clamp with set screw (Fig. 5-1) is provided as a means to
prevent full closure of the damper blade. The clamp is easily attached to most
damper blades with pliers or a wrench, and must be permanently installed.
The clamp is designed to prevent accidental closure of the damper when
installed as illustrated (Fig. 5-2 & Fig. 5-3). Should the clamp not fi t,
or provide the permanent vent opening listed in the Technical Data Table,
have a permanent stop installed, remove the damper blade,
or have the damper cut to provide the minimum permanent
opening required.
DAMPER CLAMP INSTRUCTIONS
A. The Peterson Real-Fyre
®
gas log set has a pilot
that must be lit. When lighting the pilot, follow
these instructions exactly.
B. 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.
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. Follow the specifi c instructions for your burner
model.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING
CAUTION: Burn hazard. Logs will remain hot for some time after use. You must maintain the
log layout as shown to ensure proper operation of your log set. If you need to
reposition any log to maintain the proper layout, use heat-resistant gloves or allow
logs adequate time to cool before handling.

INSTALLATION SAFETY GUIDELINES
A. Before installing in a solid-fuel-burning fi replace, the chimney, fl ue, and fi rebox must be cleaned of soot,
creosote, ashes, and loose paint by a qualifi ed chimney cleaner.
B. Carefully inspect the burner and log cartons for shipping damage. If any parts are missing/damaged, call
your dealer. Do not attempt to install the appliance unless all parts are in good condition.
C. If you use Lava Granules for decorative use, do not allow Lava Granules into or on any part of the burner
or on the logs. Lava Granules should only be placed on the fl oor of the fi replace, in front of and to the sides
of the burner, but away from the controls.
D. Due to high temperatures, the log set should be located out of traffi c, away from furniture and draperies.
E. A fi replace screen must be in place when the gas log set is in operation. Unless other provisions for
combustion air are provided, the screen shall have an opening(s) for introduction of combustion air.
F. Connecting directly to an unregulated propane tank can cause an explosion.
G. Special care is required if you are installing the unit into a sunken fi replace. You must raise the fi replace
fl oor to allow access to gas log controls. This will ensure adequate airfl ow and guard against sooting. Raise
the fi replace fl oor using noncombustible materials.
Note: Do not use this log set if any part has been underwater. Immediately call a qualifi ed professional
service technician to inspect the appliance and replace any part of the control system and gas control
that has been underwater.
