OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FIRST FIRING
Upon completing your gas line connection, a small amount of air will be in the lines. When first lighting unit with pilot light, it will take a few minutes to purge this air . Once the purging is complete, the pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated in the instruction manual. Subsequent lightings of the heater will not require such purging.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE REVIEW 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
Majestic
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

MAINTENANCE
Keep the control compartment, logs and burner area surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at least twice a year. THE LOGS CAN
GET VERY HOT — HANDLE ONLY WHEN COOL.
Always turn off gas to the pilot before cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting and operating instruction.
PILOT CONTROL SYSTEM
The burner and control system consists of:
• main burner • pilot burner
• gas orifice • combination millivolt gas valve
Most of these components may require only an occasional checkup and cleaning and some may require adjustment. If repair is necessary, it should be performed by a qualified technician.
In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, turn off the gas to the unit, remove the window frame panel and logs exposing the burner and pilot assembly. Clean all foreign materials from the top of the burner. Check to make sure that burner parts are clean. Visually inspect pilot. Brush or blow away any dust or lint accumulation If pilot orifice is plugged, disassembly may be required to remove any foreign material from the orifice or tubing.
The air shutter is set at factory no adjustment should be necessary.
It is important to periodically per­form a visual check of the pilot and the burner flames. See Figures 9 and 11.
FLAME ADJUSTMENT
For units equipped with Hi/Lo valves, flame adjustment is accomplished by rotating the Hi/Lo adjustment knob located near the center of the gas control. See Figure 10.
Turn clockwise to increase flame height
