The dynamic renormalization-group flow equations for model {ital F} of Halperin, Hohenberg, and Siggia (Phys. Rev. B 13, 1299 (1976)) are calculated by means of renormalized field theory within the minimal-renormalization scheme up to two-loop order. These equations are combined with the Borel-resummation results for the static renormalization-group functions computed by Schloms and Dohm. The corresponding static fixed point destabilizes the dynamic-scaling fixed point in two-loop order. The nonuniversal initial values of the static and dynamic flow equations are identified for the {lambda} transition of {sup 4}He at various pressures. Predictions are made for the bulk thermal conductivity very close to {ital T}{sub {lambda}} where the departures from dynamic scaling should be observable. Effective static and dynamic parameters are computed that can be applied to other critical phenomena above and below the {lambda} line of {sup 4}He.
