PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the
fireplace ON.
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 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
It is recommended that you burn your Majestic
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.

Mantels
When the insert is being installed into a woodburning
fireplace the minimum the mantel can be above the
fireplace is governed by local building codes applicable
to woodburning fireplaces. Consult local authorities
having jurisdiction for these clearances.
For applications requiring the use of a Zero Clearance
Kit, the minimum a mantel can protrude above the fireplace is 24" (610mm) from the top of the upper louvres.
The maximum mantel depth is 8" (200mm). (Fig. 2)
The underside of the mantel will get quite
warm. Use only finishes which are heat
resistant and do not discolour.
The use of wallpaper adjacent to this
fireplace is not recommended, as the high
heat given off by this fireplace may adversely effect the binders in the adhesive
used to apply the wallpaper.

FP1325
Fig. 2 Minimum mantel height above fireplace.
Framing & Finishing
For Zero Clearance Kit applications it is important to
determine the finished facing material before beginning
to frame. This will allow for the thickness of the finishing
material between the frame and the fireplace trim.
Similarily, consideration must be given to the 1" (25mm)
depth of the air inlet channel sitting on the fireplace
base. Finishing material for the hearth should be flush
with the top of the air inlet channel.
If the fireplace is installed at floor level a noncombustible hearth must extend a minimum 12"
(305mm) in front of the fireplace.
If the fireplace is recessed into the wall and at least 12"
(305mm) above floor level, no hearth is required.
A (3" for RHE25, 4" for RHE32 and RHE42) diameter
Class "B" vent must be used when installing the
fireplace insert along with the Zero Clearance Kit. The
vent system must be a minimum height of 12' (3.7m).

Combustion Air
It is very important that an adequate air supply is
available when the unit is being operated. Since
most homes of today are tightly sealed and insulated,
additional make-up air is usually necessary.
This fireplace has been designed to operate by
drawing air in from the front and outer perimeters of the
fireplace. The air provides combustion air ensuring a
clean burning flame, dilution air for proper venting, as
well as, the air which the fan circulates over the firebox/
heat exchanger system.
Insulating around the fireplace will result in overheating
and possible malfunctioning of the circulating fan.

Zero Clearance Applications
An alternate air supply is recommended with
this component.
For installations other than in existing woodburning
fireplaces such as new construction or renovation
projects, a Zero Clearance Kit must be used. The kit
enables these inserts to be installed in combustible
environments. It is recommended that an Air Kit (AKZC)
be installed whenever using a Zero Clearance Kit.
Consideration must be given to the dimensions of the
Zero Clearance Kit and the requirements of the Air Kit
when planning the installation.

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 gas fittings provided.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved
fittings. Always provide a union when using black iron
pipe so that gas line can be easily disconnected for
burner or fan servicing. Refer to gas specifications 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.
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 in
stallation layout for rigid pipe is shown following. (Fig. 4)

Venting Instructions
Canadian Installations:
The venting system must be installed in accordance
with the current CSA-B149.1 installation code, and the
authority having jurisdiction.
U.S.A. Installations:
The venting system must be installed in accordance
with the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
Minimum clearances to combustible materials is 1"
(25mm) for B Vent (use of single wall vent is not al-
lowed).
As with any natural draft appliances, the vent cap must
always extend a minimum of 2' (610mm) above any
structure within a 10' (3m) horizontal plane. (Fig. 9)
gas only and cannot be used for burning wood
or solid fuels unless all original parts have been
replaced and the fireplace has been re-approved
by the authority having jurisdiction.
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.
Venting and Installation
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.
WARNING
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 1¹⁄₂" (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 plugged
with a noncombustible insulation after the
gas supply line has been installed.
Ensure there are no obstructions to side air
passages of decorative trim once installed
on insert.
WARNING
Fig. 9 Example of the 2', 3', 10' rule.
A minimum 12' (3.7m) vent height is
required to effectively vent this fireplace.

AC246a
1. The Majestic gas inserts are designed for recessed
installations into solid fuel Masonry or Factory Built
Noncombustible fireplaces that have been installed
in accordance with the National, Provincial, State
and local building codes.
2. Measure for minimum fireplace opening requirement
on Page 4 of this installation manual. (If firebrick
[refractory] is removed from a factory built
fireplace in order to gain minimum gas fireplace
insert opening requirements, a minimum of 1/4"
(6.4mm) air space is required between the gas
insert fireplace's outer casing and the inner wall
of the factory built fireplace).
3. To assure top performance, safety and efficiency,
all inserts must be installed with an approved 4"
diameter flue liner, with exception of RHE25, which
should be installed with an approved 3" liner,as per
CSA-B.149 or National Fuel Code ANSI Z223.
10000836
Page 9
Vermont Castings, Majestic Products RHE Natural Vent Insert
4. Flue damper must be fully blocked in the open
position or removed for installation.
5. The chimney must be clean and in good working
order and constructed of noncombustible materials.
6. Make sure that all chimney cleanouts fit properly so
air cannot leak into the chimney.
7. Glass door, screen kits and log grate may be
removed for installation of insert into factory built
fireplace.
8. Install the insert without the trim frame and make all
gas, venting and electrical connections.
9. Install decorative trim frame. Please refer to Frame
Assembly and Mounting instructions on this manual.
Common Flue Installations
In some areas it is possible to vent more than one gas
fireplace into the same flue. You must ensure the flue
being shared has the proper capacity to handle both
fireplaces. Check installation codes for venting capacity
information.
As always it is best to check with the authority having
jurisdiction prior to commencement of the installation.
Liner Installation
Insert liner from top of chimney through the damper
opening and attach to 3" flue collar (for RHE25); 4" flue
collar (for RHE32 & RHE42). For best results use three
(3) sheet metal screws and a hose clamp.
For natural draft inserts packing fibreglass insulation
around the liner in the damper area will isolate the fire
place cavity from the chimney and prevent drafts and
noises during operation.
In case the fireplace opening is only minimum height
(17¹⁄₂" for RHE25) (20" for RHE32) (22³⁄₄" for RHE42)
and access from the front is not possible, remove the
flue collar plate - unscrew and slide out from the back
of the unit. Now attach the liner to the flue collar, lift up
and simply slide flue collar plate back onto the unit top.
It is important the plate is completely inserted and the
front screw is fastened again in order to line up the flue
outlet and the liner properly. (Fig. 10)

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 to cling to the glass surface.
Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on
the glass. It is therefore recommended 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 opera
tion.

First Firing
Upon completing the 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
themselves of 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.
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight
odor for awhile. This is due to paint and lubricants
used in the manufacturing process. After each lighting,
vapor may condense and fog the glass; this moisture
disappears within a few minutes of burning.

Maintenance
Burner and Burner Compartment
It is important to keep the burner and the burner
compartment clean. At least once per year the logs and
lava rock/ember material should be removed and the
burner compartment vacuumed and wiped out. Remove
and replace the logs as per the instructions in this
manual.
Always handle the logs with care as they
are fragile and may also be hot if the
fireplace has been in use.
Fan Assembly
The fan unit requires periodic cleaning. At least once
per month in the operating season, open the lower
louvre panels and wipe or vacuum the area around the
fan to remove any build up of dust or lint.
Cleaning the Standing Pilot
Control System
The burner and control system consists of:
• main burner • pilot burner
• gas orifice • thermopile
• combination millivolt gas valve
Check to make sure that burner parts are clean. Visu
ally 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.
To obtain proper operation, it is imperative the pilot and
burner's flame characteristics are steady, not lifting or
floating.
Typically, the top 1/8" of the thermopile should be en
gulfed in the pilot flame. (Page 13, Fig. 25)
-
-
Brass Cleaning
Clean the brass trim with a soft clean cloth, slightly
dampened with lemon oil and buff with a soft dry cloth.
Do not use brass polish or household cleaners as
these products will damage the trim. Lemon oil can be
obtained at supermarkets or hardware stores.
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.
