Real Difference At RH Peterson Co., manufacturer of Real -Fyre Gas Log Sets, that's what we make every day —a real difference in the lives of our customers and in our world— through innovative technologies that not only emulate the beauty of nature but safeguard it as well. Experience Real -Fyre and... Experience What's Real. O area re GS J REAL CONCERNS During the chill of the season, there's nothing quite like a real wood fire burning in the family fireplace. It adds warmth to our homes and our lives. Unfortunately, the resulting smoke releases tiny particles of soot and gaseous pollution into the air. This "particulate pollution" is undeniably the most dangerous contaminant in our air —a real concern that we at RH Peterson Co. are addressing in everything that we do and every product that we make. REAL ANSWERS By choosing Real -Fyre Gas Logs over conventional wood logs, your fireplace will release 100 pounds fewer pollutants into the air per year. Indeed, Real -Fyre Gas Logs are the cleanest, most economical, most convenient alternative to burning real wood. Which is why we do like to say —there is nothing like a real fire, with Real -Fyre Gas Logs that is! "The reduction in air pollutant emissions by replacing cordwood as a fuel with a Real -Fyre gas log set was dramatic. During testing we had to run the gas firelog sets for a full 24 hours to capture enough air pollutants to measure and even then some were below our detection limits." James E. Houck, Ph.D., President, OMNI Environmental Services Experience the real difference that comes from choosing a safer, cleaner - burning Real -Fyre Gas Log set for your home today, and make a real difference in the world your children will call home tomorrow. The Robert H. Peterson Co. contracted with OMNI Environmental Services Inc.* to conduct research comparing Real -Fyre Gas Log Sets to wood - burning in a fireplace to study: REAL -FYRE GAS LOGS Emit Similarly large reductions are seen in other common air pollutants, including carbon dioxide. "Non— Methane Volatile Organic Compounds "'Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons REAL CHOICES Making a real difference has been our choice and it could be yours by choosing a Real -Fyre Gas Log Set for your fireplace. But that hardly means there's only one choice. Real -Fyre, in fact, offers four distinctive series and more than 40 authentic styles, every one painstakingly handcrafted to create the most realistic log set ever manufactured. Experience Real -Fyre and experience a cleaner, safer, brighter tomorrow. THE REAL FACTS ABOUT REAL -FYRE GAS LOGS VS. BURNING WOOD LOGS: Just like a wood - burning fire, a Real -Fyre Gas Log set will fill your home with warmth. Real warmth, in fact, as our logs' higher bulk density means more radiant heat, both during and after operation. Yes, wood logs are beautifully crafted by nature, but they can only burn once and produce 300 to 2,000 times more particulate pollution than our gas logs in the process. By comparison, Real -Fyre Gas Logs are crafted by hand and will create a beautiful focal point for your family gatherings for years to come.

Check to be sure your fireplace meets venting and construction requirements forthe installation of your Real -Fyre gas log set (see Fireplace Requirements section below). Check to be sure your gas log set is designed for the proper gas type. Real -Fyre log sets are designed for use with natural gas unless clearly labeled for propane (L.P.) gas. Sets designed for use with propane gas must be installed with a safety pilot system. 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 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. Figure 1 illustrates the critical dimensions of your firebox. This gas log set must be installed by an NFI Certified or other qualified, 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. IMPORTANT: To comply with RADCO listing and building code acceptances and for safe operation and proper performance ONLY Peterson parts and accessories must be used with this gas log set. Robert H. Peterson Co. valves, controls, parts and accessories have been designed, tested and certified for use with Real Fyre gas log sets. 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, certifications, listings and building code approvals, and may cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. I FIREPLACE REQUIREMENTS Your Real -Fyre gas log is to be installed only in a fully vented, noncombustible fireplace with an open damper. The chimney must be free of any obstructions. The fireplace must be designed and approved to burn wood. The fireplace flue must be at least 8" at its smallest dimension. Required Gas Pressure: The minimum inlet gas supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment is 7" of water column for natural gas and 11" of water column for propane gas. The maximum inlet gas supply pressure is 10.5" water column for natural gas and 13" water column for propane gas. Your fireplace must have a gas supply line that has been installed by a qualified technician in accordance with all local codes. The gas supply line must be ' / 2 " minimum interior diameter. If the gas line to your fireplace is longer than 20', a larger diameter line may be necessary. Be sure to clean your fireplace floor of any ashes or other foreign materials. It is recommended that the fireplace and chimney be inspected by a chimney sweep or other qualified person before you install your Real -Fyre gas log set. 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 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 ' / 2 psig. This is accomplished by closing the gas supply line valve, which is required by NFPA 54, section 5.54. A fireplace screen must be in place when the log set is burning. When glass fireplace doors are INSTALLING THE DAMPER CLAMP A Damper Clamp (Item No. 13) is provided as a means 4 to prevent full and /or accidental closure of the fireplace damper when installed as illustrated (Figure 2). When your gas log set is operating, the damper must be fully open. To install your damper clamp: 1. Open your fireplace damper. 2. Place the damper clamp over the damper blade (Figure 2). 3. Tighten the set screw of the damper clamp with pliers or a wrench so that it affixes to the damper blade. The clamp must be permanently installed. Damper Clamp (Part No. DC -1) Should the damper clamp not fit, install a permanent damper stop or provide some other means of preventing full and /or accidental closure of the damper. Open Closed Figure 2 INSTALLING YOUR REAL -FYRE BURNER SYSTEM Refer to the parts list on page 3 when installing For safe operation, proper performance and to your Real -Fyre gas log set comply with safety standards and certifications, use only Robert H.

Not all Safety Pilot Systems are available for all Gas Log Set sizes. I INSTALLING YOUR REAL -FYRE BURNER SYSTEM 3. Check to be sure your Real -Fyre Gas Log Set is designed for the type of gas that fuels your fireplace. 4. Be sure the gas supply to the fireplace is turned off. 5. Clean the floor of the fireplace of any dirt or ashes. 6. Remove the cap from the gas supply line stub in the fireplace (Figure 3). Caution: Be sure that, when removing the cap, the stub does not turn, loosening the connection inside the wall. Placement of Grate and Burner 7. Your Real -Fyre grate (Item No. 7) is modeled after wood fire grates to add to the natural wood -fire appearance of your log set. Its heavy duty construction and design provides a better fit - even in narrow, shallow fireboxes - and works with the log set to provide an attractive flame pattern. To locate your Real -Fyre gas log set properly in the fireplace, place the grate as far back in the fireplace as possible, centered left -to -right (Figure 4). The grate is tapered. The widest side should face forward. 8. Created to provide the maximum in both safety and durability, your Real -Fyre burner pan (Item No. 8) is constructed of high - quality steel and coated with STABILIZER BACK GRATE CLIPS WALL OF FIREPLACE Figure 4 ouniir-rn PAN a specially formulated high temperature paint to prevent rust. It is welded securely at all corners and where the burner pipe passes through the pan to ensure that gas does not escape. The burner pipe has portholes that are precisely sized and spaced to ensure maximum flame height, balance and distribution. It provides for quick and quiet ignition. The portholes are facing the bottom of the burner pan, which prevents granules from clogging the holes and promotes gas dispersion throughout the burner pan. Place the burner pan under the grate. The open edge should face forward and the back edge of the burner pan should be positioned approximately half way under the grate (Figure 4). 9. Install the stabilizer clips (Item 14) on the second grate finger in from either side so that they fit over the back edge of the pan and tighten into place (Figure 4). Remove the grate from the firebox for gas connection and granule placement. Connecting the Gas Supply 10. Your Real -Fyre gas log set is supplied with a connector kit (CK -4, Item No. 10) which is comprised of a connector elbow, 3/8" aluminum tubing and a hearth elbow. The connector kit has been designed to ensure dependable, reliable performance. The tubing is sized for optimum gas flow and quiet operation. The connections are flared for leak -free operation. For proper connection and log set placement, the tubing may be bent manually orwith the aid of a tube bender. Be sure you do not kink the tubing. If the tubing must be shortened, use a tube cutter and a flaring tool to re -flare the cut end. 11. When installing your log set, use teflon tape or pipe compound, resistant to the action of propane gas, on all threaded male connections except brass to brass connections. The burner fuel injector or air mixer (Item No. 9), although brass in color is not brass and teflon tape or pipe compound must be used. 12. Your burner pan is supplied with a fuel injector for natural gas log sets or an air mixer for either natural or propane gas sets (Item No. 9). The fuel injector or air mixer must be used in ALL installations. The fuel injector or air mixer has a precisely sized orifice to ensure only the proper quantity of gas enters the burner. This allows maximum performance gas conservation. INSTALLING YOUR REAL -FYRE BURNER SYSTEM Check to see if the burner fuel injector or air mixer is installed on the side of the burner closest to the gas connection.

PLACEMENT OF GRANULES, EMBER GLOW AND GRATE IMPORTANT For all valves, the air MUST be purged from the gas line before the 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 pilot will light properly. This is done using the method for lighting the pilot, but holding in the control valve for a longer period. Follow the `Lighting Instructions' in this manual for your specific valve type. Two types of granules are available for your Real -Fyre burner pan. A select white sand is used with natural gas and vermiculite granules are used with propane gas. Never use sand in a burner designated for use with propane gas. The select sand (Item No. 12) is composed of fine - quality sterile sand which has been carefully sized for even flame distribution. It is free from foreign elements which could cause unpleasant odors and flame distortion. It provides quiet operation, eliminating the "hiss" sound heard with other materials. The vermiculite granules are specially selected for use with propane gas. They maximize flame distribution and reduce carbon buildup. Granule Placement 1. With the burner pan off and properly positioned in your fireplace, fill the burner pan completely with the granules (sand or vermiculite). Avoid spilling the granules on your Peterson control, if one is in place. 2. Slope the granules at the same angle as the burner pan. This is important to ensure quiet lighting and even flame distribution. Figure 13 BACK WALL OF BURNER PAN FIREPLACE GRANULES - CAUTION: BURN HAZARD. LOGS WILL REMAIN HOT FOR SOME TIME AFTER USE. YOU MUST MAINTAIN THE LOG LAYOUT AS SHOWN TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION OFYOUR LOG SET. IFYOU NEEDTO REPOSITION ANY LOG TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER LAYOUT, USE HEAT RESISTANT GLOVES OR ALLOW LOGS 3. Pour a small amount of the granules along the outside bottom edges and back of the burner pan. This prevents flame diversion (Figure 13). Glowing Embers Placement Real -Fyre ember glow (Item No. 11) is specially formulated and sized to create the most authentic, uniform "glow ", duplicating red hot coals under the grate. They are a major element in the beautiful realism of Real -Fyre gas log sets. All materials used are nonflammable and inert, containing no asbestos. 1. Sprinkle the Real -Fyre ember glow lightly and evenly over the entire surface of the granules (Figure 14). For Charred Series log sets see page 12. Grate Replacement 1. Reposition the grate in your fireplace over the burner pan. The grate should be as far back in the fireplace as possible; the back edge of the burner pan should be approximately at the half way point of the grate (Figure 14). 2. Make sure the stabilizer clips fit over the back edge of the burner pan. The stabilizer clips secure the burner pan to the grate and maintain the position of all parts of the gas log set. This preserves your installation, eliminates any settling problems and assures the attractive flame pattern is maintained. These clamps also ensure optimum safety performance of all Peterson controls that may be installed. Figure 14 STABILIZER BACK GRATE . CLIPS WALL OF FIREPLACE SMOLDERING ASH +1 GRANULES` s. BURNER PAr\ PLACEMENT OF REAL -FYRE GAS LOGS The beauty and design of your Real -Fyre gas logs are the result of skilled craftsmanship, research and engineering. The fine quality materials used to mold the logs are formulated from kiln -fired ceramics, superior refractories and the best expanded shales and aggregates, exactly proportioned. Added to this material are steel reinforcing rods, precisely sized and designed to prevent breakage. This creates realistic, long- lasting logs. Their durability has been proven by over a half century of use in family homes. Real -Fyre logs are guaranteed for as long as you own them. Hairline cracks are common and may appear after the first use. This will not affect the integrity of the logs or the operation. Each log is skillfully designed and crafted to duplicate natural wood. Deep rugged bark textures and hand - painted highlighting challenges the viewer to tell whether they're looking at real wood logs or Real -Fyre logs. Knot holes, branch stubs and peeled -away bark in many styles also add to the realism of your Real -Fyre gas log set. Designer and Classic Series Log Placement (for Charred Series log sets see page 12). Log placement is very important for the proper operation and performance of your Real -Fyre gas log set. Although you have some flexibility in the log arrangement, it is necessary to follow the log placement instructions carefully to fully enjoy your log set. 3. The longest log (Item No. 1) is placed on the front of the grate with the bark of the log facing forward. If you have a heat chamber built into your log style, it should be facing the rearof the fireplace (Figure 15). Be sure to provide a minimum of 3" between the front and rear log (Figure 15). This will create the energy efficiency and heat radiating effect of the log set and will also reduce carbon buildup. 4. Top logs should be placed diagonally with space between the logs so that the flames are not choked off. Top logs may be moved to achieve the desired flame pattern. Some carbon buildup (sooting) may be observed where the flames impinge on the logs. Unless the sooting is excessive, this should not be a concern. If sooting is excessive, rearrange the top logs so there is less flame impingement. Examples of log stacks are shown in Figure 16. 2. The second longest log (Item No. 2) is placed on the rear of the grate with the bark of the log facing forward. If you have a heat chamber built into your log style, it can face forward or to the rear of the fireplace as you desire. Fi gure • i 4-AI '� �.t � "A• �e wos -s tF4,G5 1+f o.Y �. ^°fK�� -_.

EMBER COALS PLACEMENT Attach the COALS FYREBED (Part No. CHD -01) to the burner by slipping it onto the back edge (center left to right) with the perforated section facing towards the back fireplace wall (Figure 17). Cover the surface of the COALS FYREBED with the EMBER COALS (Part No. EM -4, supplied with your Charred Series log set) (Figure 17a). For best glowing performance, they should be applied evenly and pulled slightly apart so the fibres are somewhat loose. (It is not necessary to pile the entire bag of the EMBER COALS. More EMBER COALS may be added after completion of the entire installation). GRATE REPLACEMENT Follow instructions on page 10.

Place the long bottom rear log (Log #2) on the back of the grate with the flat hollow side facing the rear of the fireplace. The two sections of the front log (Log #1 A & 1 B) are placed on the front of the grate with the charred sections facing each other and approximately one inch apart at the top (Figure 18). There should be three inches between the front and rear logs. Place the two top knot hole logs (Logs #3 & #4) so that one end rests on each front log (Log #1 A & 1 B) and the other end on the rear log (Log #2). The charred sections should be over the opening between the front and rear logs. (Figure 19) Place the small top charred log (Log #5) between the knot hole logs so it rests on the rear log (Log #2) and the right hand front log (Log #1 b) (Figure 20) with the charred section facing the front. Place the curved top charred log (Log #6) so the charred section rests on the left hand front log (Log #1A) and the other end rests on the middle of the right top knot hole log (Log #4) (Figure 21). Place the additional top log (Log #7) on the top in a desired position. Additional log notavailable with 18 "log set. Other options may be chosen for top log placement. Light the log set referring to installation instructions for procedures. More EMBER COALS may be placed on the COALS FYREBED for the added realism of a burning wood look.
