IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Important: To comply with certification, listings, and building code acceptances, and for safe operation
and proper performance of this log set. use ONLY Peterson Real-Fyre'' parts and accessories.
Use of other controls, parts, and accessories that are not designed for use with Real-Fyre`R
gas log sets is prohibited and will void all warranties, certifications. listings, and building
code approvals, and may cause property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
Check to be sure the fireplace meets venting and construction requirements for the installation of the
Real-Fyre'' gas log set (see FIREPLACE REQUIREMENTS section, below).
Be sure your gas log set is properly sized for your fireplace. Improper sizing may negatively impact the
proper drafting of the fireplace. Additionally, too large a log set will adversely affect the burn and hamper the
proper operation of the control system.Too small a log set will diminish the beauty of your hearth setting.

INSTALLING THE BURNER
The Real-Fyre gas log set must be installed by a qualified professional service technician. Instructions must
be followed carefully to ensure proper performance and full benefit from the gas log set. Check to be sure the
log set is designed and labeled for the type of gas (natural or propane gas) supplied to the fireplace.
Fireplace floor must be level,clean, and smooth.
WARNING: Failure to position the parts in accordance with these diagrams or failure to use only parts
specifically approved with this appliance may result in property damage or personal injury.
REFER TO THE PARTS LIST WHEN FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS. If your burner is to be installed
with a pilot kit:carefully follow the instructions supplied with your pilot kit for specific gas connection.
The burner pan is supplied with an air mixer for propane gas or a fuel injector for natural gas.The air mixer/fuel
injector must be used in ALL installations.The air mixer/fuel injector has a precisely sized orifice to ensure
only the proper quantity of gas enters the burner.This allows maximum performance and gas conservation.
1. MAKE SURE THE FIREPLACE GAS SUPPLY IS TURNED OFF
2. Locate the gas-supply stub inside the fireplace and remove the cap, if attached (see Fig. 5-4).
CAUTION: When removing the cap, make sure the stub does not turn, loosening the connection inside the wall.
3. Attach the small adapter (Item 9C) to the fuel injector/air mixer on the burner pan, using a pipe compound
resistant to all gases. Tighten securely. DO NOT REMOVE THE FUEL INJECTOR / AIR MIXER. Then
attach one end of the flex connector (Item 9B) to the small adapter.Tighten securely.
4. Place the burner system into the fireplace so the open burner pan faces outward.
5. Locate the grate(Item 13) and attach the stabilizer clips (Item 7)to the 2 outer bars of the grate with screws
and nuts.The stabilizer clips should be positioned towards the middle of the bars (Fig. 5-5). Place a clip
on each side of the bar. insert the screw, attach the nut, and loosely tighten. Repeat for the other side.
6. Place the grate over the burner pan so the stabilizer clips fit over the back edge of the burner pan to lock
it in position. Completely tighten the clips in place.

carefully turn on the gas supply until the burner
ignites.Test at all connections for leaks using the
appropriate soapy water solution. If bubbles appear, a leak is present. Turn off the gas and tighten at all
connections. Repeat until no leaks are present. If a leak persists, turn off the gas supply and contact the
local gas company or dealer. NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS.
Turn off the gas supply prior to proceeding.

EMBER PLACEMENT
Sprinkle the glowing embers (Item 10) lightly and evenly over the entire surface of the granules. Break up
any clumps that may have developed during shipment. (For Charred series log sets. refer to OPTIONAL
CHARRED SERIES INSTALLATION section.)
Important: Do not add any additional embers to this log set.Any additional embers may cause unsafe
operation.
GRATE PLACEMENT
Replace the grate so that the stabilizer clips fit over the back edge of the pan, locking it in position.
LOG PLACEMENT
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 ``/

This creates energy efficiency, heat radiation, and reduces carbon buildup.
3. Top logs should be stacked diagonally, with the largest at the bottom (Fig.7-3, #3 & 4), and with spaces
between the logs so that the flames are not choked off. Place the smaller logs diagonally across the
larger ones (see Fig. 7-4, #5 & #6).The top logs may be moved to achieve desired flame pattern. Some
carbon buildup (sooting) may occur where the flames impinge on the logs and should not be a concern
unless excessive. If sooting is excessive, rearrange the top logs to reduce flame impingement. Examples
of log stacks are shown below.
Note: Although log styles may differ in pattern or shape(Fig.7-6),layout is essentially the same.Adequate

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
Before operating your gas log set:
1. Be sure your fireplace is free from flammable liquids or combustible materials.
2. Be sure your damper is open.
3. Smell all around the gas log set for the odor of escaping gas. IF YOU SMELL GAS, FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS ON P. 1.
If your gas log set is operated by the fireplace valve:
1. Lay a lighted long-stem match on the surface of the embers near the gas inlet(do not hold the match
in your hand) or use a lighted long-necked butane lighter (Fig.9-1).
2. Slowly turn the fireplace remote valve to the ON position.Your log set should light.
3. If the log set does not light before the match goes out,
immediately turn the valve to the OFF position.
4. Wait approximately five (5) minutes to clear out any as
and repeat steps 1-3 above.
5. If your log set fails to light again, turn the valve to the OFF :,;? ;; ; :
position and contact your dealer or gas supplier. ; ,'
tl•
6. To extinguish your gas log set,turn the valve to the OFF
position. Be sure the valve is turned fully off to avoid any Fig. 9-1
gas leakage. \ Apply match -then turn on gas j
If your burner is operated by a pilot kit:
1. Carefully follow the lighting instructions supplied with your pilot kit for the steps to ignite the burner.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
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 flat-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
qualified professional service technician be called to maintain and service the gas log set and any installed
control system.TheTROUBLESHOOTING section of these instructions serves as a guide for ensuring optimum
performance of your gas log set.
OPTIONAL CONTROLS
THIS UNIT COMES WITHOUT A VALVE INSTALLED.
IT MAY BE CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO AND OPERATED BY YOUR FIREPLACE VALVE.
Alternatively, your Real-Fyre" gas log set may be operated using a number of optional Peterson control
systems (see below). Peterson control systems are engineered to provide convenient, safe, and reliable
operation of your gas log set.
For safe operation, proper performance, and to comply with safety standards and certifications, use
only Robert H.Peterson Company control systems,parts,and accessories with your Real-Fyre' log set.
If you have purchased a valve separately, unpack your Peterson control system and check the PARTS LIST
provided with your control to be sure all parts are included.
