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,
or the gas supplier. ( SEE FIGURE 33 )
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.
Your firegear Decorative Gas Log Set should be thoroughly
inspected on a regular basis, at least once a year, by a
qualified installer.
