PILOT FLAME ADJUSTMENT
FIGURE 33
The pilot flame should be a soft blue in color, and should
surround the last 1/2” of the thermocouple tip. Pilot adjustment
is not accessible, or permitted on vent-free units. If the pilot
flame must be adjusted, consult your installer, service agency,

CURING REFRACTORY GAS LOGS
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
The hard refractory gas logs, provided with this decorative gas
log set, require curing the first time that they are put into
operation. You must follow the instructions given for curing the
logs, to avoid cracking the logs with continued use.
After the initial lighting of the burner system, adjust the flame to
about two ( 2” ) inches. Allow the flame to burn for thirty ( 30 )
minutes at this setting. Raise the flame an additional two ( 2” )
inches, and allow the flame to burn for another thirty ( 30 )
minutes. Continue this procedure, at thirty ( 30 ) minute
intervals for a total of three ( 3 ) hours.
MAINTENANCE & SERVICE
Your
fire
gear Decorative Gas Log Set should be thoroughly
inspected on a regular basis, at least once a year, by a
qualified installer.
At the beginning of each heating season, the system should be
checked as follows:
1-
Check the chimney flue or vent pipe to make sure that the
flue is drawing properly, and that any vent pipe
connections are tight.
2-
Check to see that there are no blockages at the chimney
or vent termination.
3-
Check for creosote, or soot build up in chimney or vents,
and clean if necessary.
4-
Pilot and burners should be inspected annually, at the
beginning of each heating season.
A)
Inspect and clean burner air intake, at the rear of the
grate / burner assembly.
B)
Remove lint and particles with vacuum or brush.
C)
Inspect ODS pilot for operation and accumulation of
lint at air intake holes.
D)
Verify flame pattern and log placement for proper
operation.
E)
Verify smooth, responsive ignition of main burner.
!!! WARNING !!!
NEVER use needles, wires, or similar cylindrical objects to
clean the pilot; this may damage the calibrated ruby that
controls the gas flow!
