IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
It is normal for fireplaces fabricated of steel to give off some expansion and/or contraction noises during the start up or cool down cycle. Similar noises are found with your furnace heat exchanger or car engine.
It is not unusual for your Vermont Castings, Majestic Products gas fireplace to give off some odor the first time it is burned. This is due to the curing of the paint and any undetected oil from the manufacturing process.
Please ensure that your room is well ventilated - open all windows.
It is recommended that you burn your Vermont Castings, Majestic Products fireplace for a least six (6) hours the first time you use it. If optional fan kit has been installed, place fan in the "OFF" position during this time.
Locating Your Gas Fireplace Insert
Your Direct Vented Insert unit was designed to be installed in an existing woodburning fireplace. The location and clearances are therefore subject to your local building codes.
Insert Applications
Before installing the gas fireplace insert, consideration must be given to the functioning needs of the fireplace. The size of the fireplace cavity (min. 28³⁄ "W x 21¹⁄ "H x 16" D), the design of the chimney (a minimum size of 8" x 12" is necessary to accommodate the two (2) 3" liners). The availability of the gas supply as well as electricity for the insert fan must be confirmed.
Your Direct Vented Insert unit is designed to be vented vertically only with a minimum height of 12 feet.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermaket permanently located, manufactured (mobile) home, where not prohibited by local codes.
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other gases, unless an available certified kit is used.
All Vermont Castings, Majestic Products gas inserts are approved for installation in solid fuel burning masonry or zero clearance fireplaces.

Certified To
ANSI Z 21.88-2002 / CSA 2.33-2002
Vented Gas Fireplace Heaters
The installation of your Vermont Castings, Majestic Products Fireplace must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 latest edition, or CSA B149.1 Installation Code. (EXCEPTION: Do not derate this appliance for elevations up to 4,500 ft. (1370mm). Maintain the manifold pressure at 3.5" w.c. for Natural Gas and 10" w.c. for LP gas.)
High Elevations
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are certified without deration for elevations up to 4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m) in USA, installations must be in accordance with the current ANSI Z223.1 and/or local codes having jurisdiction.
In Canada, please consult provincial and/or local authorities having jurisdiction for installations at elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m).
Preparation
Before beginning, remove glass door and logs from unit. Also check to make sure there is no hidden damage to the unit. Take a minute and plan out the gas,venting and electrical route. It is best to start with the gas line first followed by the chimney liner. (Refer to Page 8)
Gas Line Installation
When purging the gas line, the front glass must be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought into the fireplace base from the right side. It is most convenient to install it from the right side into the valve.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings. Always provide a union when using black iron pipe so the gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. See gas specification for pressure details and ratings.
The gas line connection can be made of either properly tinned 3/8" copper pipe, 3/8" rigid pipe or an approved flex connector. Since some municipalities have some additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authority and the CSAB149.1 installation code.
U.S. Installations consult the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
The gas control inlet is 3/8" N.P.T. therefore the 1/2" rigid gas line must be reduced to 3/8" N.P.T. Typical installation layout for rigid pipe is shown following. (Fig. 1)
During any pressure testing of the gas line system, when the test pressures are to exceed 1/2 psi (3.5 kpa) the fireplace and its gas valve must not be connected to that system.
At test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi, the gas valve of the fireplace may be connected to the gas line, but must be in the closed position.

4.The chimney must be clean and in good working order and constructed of noncombustible materials.
5.Make sure that all chimney cleanouts fit properly so air cannot leak into the chimney.
6.Install the appliance without trim frame and make all gas fittings and electrical connections.
7.Install the decorative trim frame. Please refer to the Frame Assembly instructions.
Installer must attach red warning plate with screws supplied with the gas fireplace insert to the inside of the firebox of the fireplace into which the gas fireplace insert is installed.
Cutting any sheet metal parts of the fireplace, in which the gas fireplace insert is to be installed, is prohibited.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1.5 inch (37.5mm) or less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship like manner. This access hole must be p lugged with a noncombustible insulation after the gas supply line has been installed.
WARNING
Some factory-built fireplaces have air passages on face of fireplace for zero clearance capabilities. All trim kits are designed so as to allow airflow to these passages. Under no circumstances should these passages be blocked.
Liner Installation - Fig. 9
The collar extending down from the termination base is the air intake connector.

Glass Cleaning
It will be necessary to clean the glass periodically. During start-up condensation, which is normal, forms on the inside of the glass and causes lint, dust and other airborne particles cling to the glass surface. Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two or three times with a non-ammonia household cleaner and warm water (we recommend gas fireplace glass cleaner). After that the glass should be cleaned two or three times during each heating season depending on the circumstances present.
Clean glass after first two weeks of operation.

Temperature Adjustment (TN/TP Models)
The HI/LO reference on the control knob (Fig. 23) is to indicate a higher or lower temperature setting. This setting controls the heat by reducing then shutting off the flame as the desired temperature is reached. Position the control knob where it effectively maintains a comfortable room temperature.
