serious injury or death from ﬁ re, burns, explosions, or carbon monoxide poisoning.

G. State and local codes may only allow operation of this appliance in a vented conﬁ guration. Check

your state or local codes.

H. WHEN INSTALLING AS A DECORATIVE VENTED APPLIANCE, THE UNIT MUST CONFORM

TO ALL LOCAL CODES AND TO THE LATEST EDITION OF THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54.

VENTILATION AND CONFINED SPACE SAFETY INFORMATION

Your vent-free gas burner system SHALL NOT BE INSTALLED IN A CONFINED SPACE or unusually tight construction unless provisions are made for adequate combustion and ventilation air.

• The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 deﬁ nes a conﬁ ned space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cu. ft. per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8 meters 3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space.

• An unconﬁ ned space is a space where volume is at least 50 cu. ft. per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8 meters of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space.

• Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconﬁ ned space.

WARNING: Do not install the unvented burner system

where the room is considered a confined space (see Fig. 5-1).

per kw)

To determine if the area where this burner system is to be installed ﬁ ts the deﬁ nition of an unconﬁ ned space, multiply the length of the room by the width of the room by the height of the room, then multiply by 20. The result is the maximum BTU allowed.

(Length x Width x Height x 20 = Maximum BTUs allowed)

Example: To install a Peterson Real-Fyre® vent-free gas burner system with 36,000 BTU, maximum, in a space with no other gas-burning appliances, the space MUST be 1,800 cu. ft. or larger.

Assuming an 8' ceiling, ﬂ oor dimensions must be a minimum of 225 sq. ft., i.e.; 18'x12.5'=225 sq ft (see Fig. 5-1).

Fig. 5-1

IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO OPEN A WINDOW SLIGHTLY (1"- 2") OR OTHERWISE INCREASE VENTILATION. CONDITIONS REQUIRING THIS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:

1. Installation in a CONFINED SPACE.

2. Installation in a HOME OF UNUSUALLY TIGHT CONSTRUCTION**.

3. Installation at HIGH ALTITUDES.

4. Certain MEDICAL OR PHYSICAL CONDITIONS OF THE HOMEOWNER that may be adversely impacted by combustion products created by burning natural or propane gas.

Installation in a tightly constructed home and/ or installation at high altitudes may cause your

vent-free burner system to produce excessive heat or excessive moisture. The oxygen depletion sensor may shut down the burner system. These conditions may be corrected by opening a window or otherwise increasing the number of air changes in the home.

L x W x H x 20 = Maximum BTU allowed

WARNING If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that deﬁ ned as an unconﬁ ned space or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combustion and ventilation air by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, or

applicable local codes.

REMEMBER

L x W x H x 20 = MAXIMUM BTUs ALLOWED If the space is smaller than the above formula allows, and/or smaller than the examples and diagrams on this page specify, DO NOT install the vent-free burner system unless provisions for additional combustion

and ventilation air are made.

Unusually tight construction is deﬁ ned as construction where:

a. Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of 1 perm (6x10 per pa-sec-m2), or less with openings gasketed or sealed;

b. Weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors, and

c. Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and ﬂ oors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing,

electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.

The Peterson Real-Fyre® vent-free burner system has been certiﬁ ed to function safely and reliably with emission by-products well within accepted safety and health standards. Your speciﬁ c medical or physical condition may render you more sensitive to products created by burning natural or propane gas. If this is the case, you should open a window or otherwise increase ventilation.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES

42"

16"

If the vent-free burner system is installed in a factory built ﬁ replace, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for minimum clearances to combustibles.

In the absence of such guidelines, follow the instructions below:

Clearances to Combustible Construction:

Sidewalls

: 16" from side of ﬁ replace opening (Fig. 6-1).

Ceiling: 42" from top of ﬁ replace opening (Fig. 6-1). Flooring: See IN FRONT OF FIREPLACE section below. Mantel: See ABOVE THE FIREPLACE section below &

Fig. 6-1. Also see Fig. x-1, & x-2 on following page).

Note: Clearances to combustible construction

are those distances required to ensure that ﬁ replace mantels, facings, walls, ceilings, and ﬂ oorings will not catch ﬁ re.

In most cases, these clearances should also be adequate to prevent any discoloration or warping due to heat. However, every gas burner installation presents a different and unique set of circumstances involving many variables beyond the control of the manufacturer. These include paint or ﬁ nish composition, previous exposure to heat, methods and quality of construction, air ﬂ ow patterns, glass doors, fans or blowers, etc.

Because of these variables, we cannot guarantee that heat warping or discoloration will never occur. The potential for heat warping or discoloration may exist no matter what item(s) you are burning in the ﬁ replace, including wood.

Minimum clearances to

side walls and ceiling

Fig. 6-1

Side wall: 16" from side of ﬁ replace opening. Ceiling: 42" from top of ﬁ replace opening.

The dimensions in Fig.

6-1 are MINIMUM

CLEARANCES to maintain when you install this burner system. BOTH SIDES of the ﬁ replace opening MUST BE AT LEAST 16" from any combustible sidewalls. The ceiling MUST BE at least 42" from the top of the ﬁ replace opening.

IN FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE:

Be certain that combustible ﬂ ooring material (i.e.: carpet, tile, etc.) is not too close to the vent-free unit. If the vent-free burner system is at ﬂ oor level or less than 6" above the ﬂ oor, there MUST be at least 12" (1 foot) of noncombustible material between the front of the ﬁ replace and any combustible ﬂ ooring.

ABOVE THE FIREPLACE:

To install the vent-free burner system, there must ALWAYS be noncombustible or heat resistant material immediately above the ﬁ replace opening. Heat resistant materials (i.e., marble or slate) must be at least 5/8" thick. Sheet metal should not be installed onto combustible materials.

If you DO NOT install a ﬁ replace hood, there MUST be at least 12" of noncombustible or heat resistant material immediately above the ﬁ replace opening (see A in Fig. x-1 on the following page). If you DO install a ﬁ replace hood, there MUST be at least 10" of noncombustible or heat resistant material immediately above the ﬁ replace opening (see B in Fig. x-2 on the following page). If there is a wooden mantel, shelf, or other combustible projection above the ﬁ replace, follow the information in the Figures on the next page.

EXAMPLE: If the ﬁ replace has a combustible projection (mantel or shelf) 20" above the top of the ﬁ rebox,

the maximum horizontal projection out from the face of the ﬁ replace will be:

1. If a ﬁ replace hood is not installed - 2.5" (see Fig. x-1 on the following page).

2. If a ﬁ replace hood is installed ------ 10" (see Fig. x-2 on the following page).

A ﬁ replace hood deﬂ ects heat away from the ﬁ replace face and mantel, reducing the potential for heat related warping or discoloration. The use of a ﬁ replace hood is highly recommended.

IF YOU CANNOT MEET THESE MINIMUM CLEARANCES, YOU MUST OPERATE THE VENT-FREE

BURNER SYSTEM WITH THE CHIMNEY FLUE DAMPER OPEN.

WHEN USED AS A VENTED DECORATIVE APPLIANCE (PER ANSI Z21.60b-2004)

This appliance is for installation in a solid-fuel-burning ﬁ replace (masonry ﬁ replace or manufactured ﬁ replace)

with a working ﬂ ue and constructed of noncombustible material.

These gas logs may be installed as vented decorative log sets in compliance with ANSI Z21.60b-2004 and National Fuel Gas Code, Section 6.6. The minimum permanent free opening of the ﬁ replace chimney or chimney damper must be met per the Chimney Vent Opening Table on pg 3 of this manual. Chimney damper must be ﬁ xed in a manner to maintain permanent free opening at all times. To accomplish this, install a screw or bolt in the edge of the damper to prevent closing, or drill holes in the damper or remove the damper.

CONNECTING THE GAS TO THE BURNER SYSTEM

BEFORE PROCEEDING, CAREFULLY READ ALL OF THE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CONTAINED IN THIS OWNER’S MANUAL, INCLUDING:

A. Pre-Installation and Fireplace Preparation Safety Guidelines B. Ventilation and Conﬁ ned Space Information C. Installation Safety Guidelines

IMPORTANT

Be sure you have read and understand all safety precautions and warnings

contained in this manual.

L.P.

Note: To install the unvented gas log set, the ﬁ replace must have a gas-supply line that has been

installed by a qualiﬁ ed professional service technician in accordance with all local codes.

Refer to the PARTS LIST when installing the unvented gas log set.

Tools Required:

1. Adjustable open-ended wrench

2. Pliers

3. L.P. gas-resistant pipe compound or Teﬂ on tape

4. Soapy water solution and brush for leak detection

5. Standard screwdriver

6. Manometer (for checking gas pressure)

CHECK GAS TYPE (natural or L.P.). The gas supply must be the same as stated on the gas log set

rating plate. If the gas supply is different, DO NOT INSTALL. Contact the dealer for immediate

assistance.

WARNING

Do not connect this appliance directly to a high-pressure natural gas line or an unregulated L.P. tank.

Refer to the PARTS LIST when installing the unvented gas log set.

1. MAKE SURE THE FIREPLACE GAS SUPPLY IS TURNED OFF.

2. Center the burner assembly in the ﬁ replace. Make certain that no part of the assembly protrudes beyond the

face of the ﬁ replace.

3. Attach the large adapter ﬁ tting of the ﬂ ex connec tor kit to the ﬁ replace gas-supply line using pipe compound resistant to L.P. gas or Teﬂ on tape. Tighten the connection. Connect one end of ﬂ ex connector to the large adapter and the other end to the adapter on the valve assembly.

LEAK TESTING

Make sure that the control valve on the burner system is in the OFF position. Carefully turn on the gas to the ﬁ replace and leak test at all connections with a soapy water solution (equal parts liquid detergent and water). If bubbles appear, a leak is present. Turn off the gas and tighten all connections, then turn on the gas and repeat the leak test. Repeat until no leaks are detected.

NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT

For all valves, the air MUST be purged from the gas line before the ODS pilot will light properly. The time taken to do this will depend on the length of gas line from the meter to the unit and the length of time since the unit or gas line was last used (in the case of non-use during warm weather, for example). It may take from 3-15 minutes before all the air is purged and the ODS pilot will light properly. This is done using different methods, depending on which

valve is ﬁ tted to the unit. Follow the LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS in this manual for the speciﬁ c valve type.

A. G18-24/30-01V(P) - Hold down control knob at PILOT (see Fig. 20-4). B. G18-24/30-15(M)(P) - Hold in control knob at PILOT (see Fig. 20-3).

CLEANING AND SERVICING SAFETY INFORMATION

Note: Regular cleaning and servicing will be necessary to ensure proper ODS pilot operation and proper burn

characteristics.

A. Always shut off the gas to the unvented gas log set while performing service work.

B. Allow the unvented gas log set to cool before servicing.

C. Installation and repair must be done by an NFI Certiﬁ ed or other qualiﬁ ed professional service

technician. The gas log set should be inspected regularly to prevent burner shutdown, sooting, odors, etc. This unit must be inspected and cleaned annually by a qualiﬁ ed professional service technician. It must be checked for clean burning operation and proper ODS pilot appearance, with the correct tools to service this unit. More frequent cleaning may be required. Excessive lint can build up on this unit from

carpeting, bedding material, pet hairs, or other particles in the air. It is critical that all control components, burners, and circulating air passageways be kept clean and free of all obstructions. The ODS pilot is especially sensitive to a dirty environment and will not function properly if dirty. Make certain all air openings are clean and free of obstructions, including:

1. The air intake openings on the ODS pilot assembly.

2. The ODS pilot opening.

3. The air shutters on both the front/bottom ember burner and the rear/top main burner.

4. The ﬂ ash tube and its corresponding carryover ports.

Obstructions in or around the ﬂ ash tube may result

in the ember burner not lighting and/or an intermittent popping noise from the ﬂ ash tube.

WARNING: Failure to keep the primary air openings of the burner(s) clean may result in sooting and property

damage.

5. All of the ports on both the front/bottom ember burner and the rear/top main burner. (See the CLEANING AND SERVICING section.)

CLEANING AND SERVICING THE ODS PILOT

Periodic cleaning and maintenance of the unvented gas log set is recommended to ensure that the log set operates properly. Cleaning of the ODS pilot system is an important part of the maintenance program.

This ODS pilot cleaning procedure must be performed by a qualiﬁ ed professional service technician familiar with the speciﬁ c characteristics of the log set.

1. Turn the unvented gas log set to the OFF position and allow it to cool. Inspect the ODS pilot area (see Fig. 26-1)

for any visual contamination or debris (usually lint, hair, spider webs, or small insects). Lightly brush off all external surfaces while vacuuming loosened debris from the ODS pilot opening. Be careful not to brush

any foreign material into the ODS pilot opening.

2. Clean out the air intake openings (see Fig. 26-1) by lightly brushing around the openings while vacuuming.

Note: It is very important that the air intake openings be kept clear of debris. Should the openings become

blocked, the ODS pilot system will not operate properly.

3. Light the ODS pilot according to the relevant LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS page. Periodically verify the ODS pilot ﬂ ame appears as shown in the CHECKING THE ODS PILOT FLAME APPEARANCE section.

4. If the ODS pilot ﬂ ame does not burn as indicated in the instructions, extinguish the ODS pilot by turning the valve to the full OFF position. Using a compressed air duster, insert the ﬂ exible nozzle through the air intake openings, ensuring that the nozzle is pointed toward the ODS pilot opening (see Fig. 26-1). Blow air through the intake openings to clear out any debris that may be in the system.

5. Relight the ODS pilot and inspect it to be sure it is burning as shown in the instructions. If not, extinguish the

ODS pilot and turn off the gas supply to the gas log set. Using an adjustable or a

" wrench, disconnect

the ODS pilot gas line (see Fig. 26-1) from the valve.

6. Insert the ﬂ exible nozzle of the compressed air duster and blow air into the input end of the ODS pilot gas line to remove any blockages. Do not blow air directly into the ODS pilot opening. Blow air in the direction

of the gas ﬂ ow.

7. Reinstall the ODS pilot gas line and check for leaks.

8. Light the ODS pilot to make sure it is operating properly (see LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS).

9. If the ODS pilot still does not operate properly, the ODS pilot may need to be replaced with the same model

as the one on the unvented burner.

OPERATING THE UNVENTED GAS LOG SET

Observe the ﬂ ames. The main burner ﬂ ames should be blue at the base and a combination of blue/yellow at the body and at the tips. They should be 5" to 8" above the logs, with the center ﬂ ame being the tallest (see Fig. 27-1). Front ﬂ ames in the ember burner should be

Every Real-Fyre unvented 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. This check includes an operational test to ensure both satisfactory combustion and operation.

Each installation site for any unvented 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, carpet lint, dryer lint, the size of the ﬁ replace, paint or soot inside the ﬁ replace, etc. all have an inﬂ uence on the proper operation of an unvented appliance and its ODS pilot system. A normally operating unvented log set will demonstrate the following characteristics:

• A lively, realistic ﬂ ame and front ember glow. The ﬂ ame will be blue/yellow on the front burner and on the rear burner.

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

• Production of no odor, other than normal odors associated with the combustion of L.P. or natural gas.

• Production of water vapor. Water vapor helps to increase indoor humidity, which may be beneﬁ cial during the dry heating season.

/4" above the embers.

Fig. 27-1

If you operate the unvented gas log set fueled by L.P. gas, operating characteristics may vary as the fuel in the

tank approaches empty (less than

/4 full). Sooting and other increases in combustion by-products will occur.

Turn off the log set and reﬁ ll the L.P. tank.

CHECKING THE ODS PILOT FLAME APPEARANCE

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

THIS SYSTEM CAN BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS.

When installing the burner assembly, it is important to visually check the ODS pilot ﬂ ame and the 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 (Fig. 27-2 and Fig. 27-4).

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. 27-3 and Fig. 27-5 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 pilot, and air shutter openings on the burner for any blockages that could affect the operation of the ODS pilot ﬂ ame.

The Real-Fyre® burner system has an ODS pilot. When starting the ODS pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

BEFORE LIGHTING, smell all around the gas burner system 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 P. 1.

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 ﬁ re or explosion.

LIGHTING THE ODS PILOT

1. Turn the ignitor control knob (Fig. 29-1) on the burner

control valve assembly to the side of the burner pan counterclockwise so that the narrowing part of the knob moves from the OFF position, slightly toward IGN, until reaching the stop.

2. Press the ignitor control knob in and hold in for ﬁ ve seconds (only ODS pilot gas will ﬂ ow).

3. Continue pressing in while turning the ignitor control knob further counterclockwise toward the PILOT position, until you hear a click. The click is an indication that the piezo ignitor has been activated.

Note: If the spark from the piezo ignitor does not light

the ODS pilot, repeat steps 2 & 3 until the ODS pilot lights.

4. Continue to hold the ignitor control knob in the PILOT position for 30 seconds after the ODS pilot has been lit to allow the thermocouple to detect the ODS pilot ﬂ ame.

Note: The ODS pilot ﬂ ame should always be present

when the burner system is in operation, and should just envelop the tip of the thermocouple.

The Real-Fyre® burner system has an ODS pilot. When starting the ODS pilot, follow these instructions exactly.

LIGHTING THE ODS PILOT

1. Locate your electronic control valve (see PARTS LIST,

Item 2). Turn the control arrow to MAN for manual mode (see Fig. 32-1).

2. Press the ON/OFF switch from O to I (see Fig. 32-1). Using a small bladed screwdriver or similar, press and hold the button within the hole on the control (see Fig. 32-2). Using a long-neck butane lighter, ignite the ODS pilot ﬂ ame. Hold in the button for about 1 minute (or longer if ﬁ rst use or after a long period of non-use).

3. The ODS pilot ﬂ ame should now remain lit. It should always be present when the gas log set is in operation and just envelop the tip of thermocouple. If the ODS pilot light goes out, repeat steps 1-2. If the ODS pilot will not stay lit after several tries, follow the instructions TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE in your owner’s manual and call your service technician or gas supplier.

IGNITING THE MAIN BURNER

1. When the ODS pilot ﬂ ame is stable (remains lit,

beeping stops), turn the control knob to ON. Turn the ﬂ ame height control knob counterclockwise past ON; gas will ﬂ ow to the main burner, and the main burner will ignite. The ember burner will ignite

shortly afterward.

ADJUSTING THE FLAME HEIGHT

to decrease).

2. To turn off just the main burners, turn the ﬂ ame height control knob fully clockwise until ﬂ ame is extinguished. The ODS pilot ﬂ ame will remain lit.

SHUTTING OFF THE ODS PILOT

If you do not plan on using your log set for an extended period you may elect to extinguish the ODS pilot. To do this, press the I/O switch on the valve to O. This will completely shut down the log set (main burners and ODS pilot will extinguish). This will require that you relight the ODS pilot before you use the log set again. To do so, follow steps 1-2 above. Always turn ﬂ ame height control knob to the OFF position when shutting it down.

Note: When completely shutting your log set down,

be sure to TURN THE (I/O) SWITCH ON THE VALVE TO O (OFF). Make sure the burner is completely off for 1 minute before relighting!

To operate the burner using a remote handset and receiver, follow the instructions supplied with the

remote.

CHECKING THE ODS PILOT FLAME

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 (Fig.

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. pilot ﬂ ame).

3. With the burners off, the ODS pilot ﬂ ame off, and the assembly cool, check the burner assembly, air intake opening on the ODS pilot, and air shutter openings on the burner for any blockages that could affect the operation of the ODS pilot ﬂ ame.
