OPERATING THE REAL-FYRE

GAS LOG SET

Observe the ﬂ ames. The ﬂ ames should be blue at the base and a

combination of blue/yellow at the body and tips. Flames should be 2"

to 4" tall (see Fig. 24-1).

Every Real-Fyre

vent-free gas log set 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

by the American Gas Association. This check includes an operational

test to ensure both satisfactory combustion and operation.

Each installation site for any vent-free 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 a vent-free appliance and its ODS pilot system. A

normally operating vent-free log set will demonstrate the following characteristics:

• A lively, realistic ﬂ ame will be blue/yellow on burner.

• Clean burning combustion, which will produce no soot or smoke, after normal break-in.

• Production of no odor, other than normal odors associated with 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

full). Sooting and other increases in combustion by-products

will occur. Turn off the log set and re-ﬁ ll the propane tank.

CHECKING THE ODS PILOT FLAME APPEARANCE

When installing the G8 burner assembly, it is important to visually check the ODS pilot ﬂ ame and 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.

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.

24-2 - for incorrect ODS pilot ﬂ ame).

3. With the burners off and the ODS pilot ﬂ ame off, and the assembly cool, check the burner assembly, air

intake openings on the ODS and air shutter openings on the burner for any blockages that could affect

the operation of the ODS pilot ﬂ ame.

WARNING: NO ADJUSTMENTS ARE TO BE MADE TO THE ODS PILOT SYSTEM. TAMPERING WITH

THIS SYSTEM CAN BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS.
