Installation & Operating Instructions
This gas room heater should be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with local building codes and with current Na­tional Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. This heater shall not be installed in a confined space or un usually tight construction unless provisions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. This appliance is for supplemental heating only. It should not be used as the primary heat source for a dwelling. The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z233.1/NFPA 54 defines a confined space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are installed, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.
WARNING:
smaller than that defined as an unconfined space or if the build­ing is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate combus­tion and ventilation air by one of the methods, described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes." Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where: a) Walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of 1 perm (6 x 10­11 kg per pa-sec-m and b) Weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors, and c) Caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.
Fireplace screen (when equipped) must be closed while the appliance is in operation.

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 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 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.

Minimum Inlet Pressure 5.5" w.c. 11.0" w.c. Maximum Inlet Pressure 14.0" w.c. 14.0" w.c. Manifold Pressure 3.5" w.c. 10.0" w.c.
Table 3 Gas supply pressures.
The installation of your Majestic heater must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 — latest edition. (EX CEPTION: Do not derate this appliance for altitude. Maintain the manifold pressure at
3.5 inches w.c. for Natural Gas and 10 inches w.c. for LP gas.)
High Elevations
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and are certified without deration from elevations up to 4,500 feet (1,370m) above sea level.
Nuisance outages may occur at altitudes above 4,500 feet (1,370m) if dirt, dust, lint and/or cob­webs are allowed to accumulate on burner and/or ODS pilot. Monthly inspection and cleaning is recommended for altitudes above 4,500 feet (1,370m)
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370m), instal­lations must be in accordance with the current ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or local codes having jurisdiction.
Gas Line Connection
If gas piping from the source to the heater location has not been accomplished, install the required pipe. Con­sult local codes to assure proper pipe size.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right or left side of the heater, as well as the bottom. Knockouts are provided at convenient locations to allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connection. It is most convenient to bring the gas line in from the right side, as this allows fan installation or removal without disconnecting the gas line.
NOTE: The gas line connection can be made with prop­er 3/8" copper tubing, 1/2" rigid pipe or an approved flex connector, then reduced to 3/8" to the heater. Because some municipalities have some additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authority. Consult the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
-
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to pro­vide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings. When using black iron pipe, always provide a union so the gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. Use shut off valve before union or flex connector. See gas specification for pressure details and ratings. NOTE: If flex connector is used, it must be kept inside of the heater. (Fig. 9)
Always check for gas leaks using a 50/50 solu­tion of liquid soap and water. Apply water/soap solution with brush only - do not over apply.
NEVER test with an open flame.
