CHECKING THE ODS PILOT FLAME APPEARANCE

OPERATING THE BURNER SYSTEM

Observe the ﬂ ames. The ﬂ ames should be blue at the base and a combination of

blue/yellow at the body and tips. Flames should be 2" to 4" tall (see Fig.

23-1).

Every Real-Fyre burner system 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 this appliance presents its own unique combustion

environment. Speciﬁ c factors such as weather-tightness of the home, size of the

room in which the burner system 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 this appliance and its ODS pilot system. A normally operating burner system will demonstrate the

following characteristics:

• A lively, realistic ﬂ ame. The ﬂ ame will be blue / yellow.

• 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 propane or natural gas.

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

dry heating season.

If you operate the burner system fueled by propane gas, operating characteristics may vary as the fuel in the

tank approaches empty (less than

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

Turn off the burner system and reﬁ ll the propane tank.

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. 23-2 and Fig. 23-4).

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. 23-3 and Fig. 23 for incorrect ODS pilot ﬂ ame).

3. With the burner 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 opening on the burner for any blockages that could affect the

operation of the ODS pilot ﬂ ame.
