Important Pre-installation Information
Check to be sure the fi replace meets venting and
construction requirements for the installation
of the Real-Fyre
®
gas log set (see FIREPLACE
REQUIREMENTS section, below).
This burner may only be connected to the gas type
listed on the label. Never use propane gas in a log
set designed for natural gas or natural gas in a log set
designed for use with propane gas.
Be sure the gas log set is properly sized for the
fi replace. Improper sizing may negatively impact the
proper drafting of the fi replace. Additionally, too large
a log set will adversely affect the burn and hamper the
proper operation of the control system. Fig. 5-1 illustrates
the critical dimensions of the fi rebox.
This gas log set must be installed by an NFI
Certifi ed or other qualifi ed professional installer.
The installation, including provisions for combustion
and ventilation air, must conform with local codes, or, in
the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223-1, and NFPA54.
Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other fl ammable vapors and
liquids.
Fig. 5-1
Note: It is recommended that complete fi rebox dimensions
*Nominal BTU based on gas inlet pressure. Nominal
gas inlet pressure for natural gas is 5" W.C.
Important:To comply with 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 which are not designed for use with Real-Fyre® gas log sets is prohibited and will
void all warranties, certifi cations, listings, and building code approvals, and may cause property
damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
Fireplace Requirements
®
The Real-Fyre
gas log is to be installed only in a fully
vented, fi replace with an open damper. The chimney
must be free of any obstructions. The fi replace must be
designed and approved to burn wood. The fi replace fl ue
must be at least 8" at its smallest dimension.
The fi replace must have a gas supply line that has been
installed by a qualifi ed technician in accordance with all
local codes. The gas supply line must be ½" minimum
interior diameter. If the gas line to the fi replace is longer
than 5', a larger diameter line may be necessary.
Be sure to clean the fi replace fl oor of any ashes or other
foreign materials. It is recommended that the fi replace
and chimney be inspected by a chimney sweep or other
®
qualifi ed person before you install the Real-Fyre
gas
log set.
Required Gas Pressure: The minimum inlet gas
supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment is
5" of water column (w.c.) for natural gas. The maximum
inlet gas supply pressure is 10.5" w.c. for natural gas.
The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for the purpose
of input adjustment is 11" of water column (w.c.) for
propane gas. The maximum inlet gas supply pressure
is 13" w.c. for propane gas.
Testing the Gas Supply System: The gas log set and its
individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system while performing any tests of the
piping system at pressures in excess of ½ psig. The gas
log set must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than ½ psig. This is accomplished
by closing the gas supply line valve required by NFPA 54.
A fi replace screen must be in place when the appliance
is in operation and, unless other provisions are provided,
the screen shall have an opening(s) for introduction of
combustion air. When glass fi replace doors are used,
operate the gas log set with the doors open.

FOR YOUR SAFETY, READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fi re or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Do not use this appliance if any part has been underwater. Immediately call for a qualifi ed professional
service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
The Real-Fyre burner system has a pilot which can be lit by hand using a match or lighter. When lighting the pilot, follow
these instructions exactly.
BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the burner area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the fl oor as some gas is heavier than
air and will settle on the fl oor. IF YOU SMELL GAS, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE COVER (P. 1).
Lighting the Pilot
To light the pilot, make sure the toggle switch is
in the OFF (DOWN) position. Rotate the safety
valve knob pointer counterclockwise to the PILOT
position. Push the safety valve knob fully in and at
the same time place a long match or a butane lighter
at the pilot burner. The pilot will light. Hold the safety
valve knob in for approximately 60 seconds. If the
pilot does not stay lit, turn the safety valve knob to
the OFF position. Wait fi ve minutes and repeat the
lighting instructions. If the pilot still fails to stay lit
see the Troubleshooting section.
Lighting and Extinguishing the Burner System
To turn on your gas log set with the pilot lit, turn
the safety valve knob to the ON position. Switch the
toggle switch control to the on (UP) position and
the gas log set will light.
To turn off your gas log set, switch the toggle
switch control to the off (DOWN) position. The pilot
will remain lit. See the instructions that came with
the remote kit (if purchased) for remote lighting
instructions.
To turn off the pilot, be sure the toggle switch
control is off (DOWN) and depress and turn the
safety valve knob to the OFF position.
Maintaining the Pilot
Your log set is equipped with a safety pilot that
will shut off the gas supply in case the pilot is not
burning or functioning properly. Verify that the
generator spade clips are tightly connected to
the terminal screws on the valve and the pilot is
adjusted properly with the pilot fl ame hitting the
generator as shown in Fig. 10-2 If the pilot will not
stay lit, call your local gas utility or gas supplier.
Cleaning and Checking
A periodic check of the following should be
performed at least annually by a qualified
professional service representative.
1. Proper operation of valves and switches.
2. Flue system for proper venting.
3. Damper operation
4. Orifi ces for dirt or other foreign matter.
5. Visual check on the burner.
6. Air mixers for dust/lint blockage.
7. Excessive soot on logs.

Maintenance and Service
Maintenance
Once installed and operating properly, the RealFyre® gas log set requires very little maintenance.
You should inspect the log set and control
annually for the following:
1. Excessive Sooting - Some sooting of
the log set is normal and adds to the
natural appearance of burned wood. If soot
accumulates, you may brush the soot off with
a stiff brush. Logs may also be cleaned by
allowing them to heat up, then spraying them
with water where soot has accumulated.
2. Debris around the control - Inspect the
control and pilot to be sure it is free of any
dirt or debris.
3. Insects and burner blockage - Check the
burner ports and the air-mixer, if present, to
make sure they are free from debris. Blocked
burner ports and orifi ces may result in poor fl ame
distribution or fl ame at air-mixer (if equipped).
Reference SOLUTION, to symptoms 2-4, of
Troubleshooting.
Service
It is recommended that a qualifi ed professional
service technician be called to service the
gas log set and control should service be
required. The Troubleshooting section of these
instructions serves as a guide for ensuring
optimum performance of the gas log set.
Flame Appearance
The flames should be blue at the base and a
combination of blue/yellow at the body and tips.
