10002428

Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, woodburning or oil fired appliances, and the products of combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6

This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket permanently located, manufactured home or 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 a certified kit is used.

The DVRT36RMH has been approved for mobile home installations.

IMPORTANT:

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 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 fireplace for at least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the optional fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the

“OFF” position during this time.

Gas Line Installation

When purging the gas lines, the front glass must be removed.

The gas pipeline can be brought in through the side of the fireplace as well as the bottom. Knockouts are provided on the bottom behind the valve 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 rear right side of the valve as this allows fan installation or removal without disconnecting the gas line.

The gas line connection can be made with properly tinned 3/8” copper tubing, 3/8” rigid pipe or an approved flex connector. Since some municipalities have additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authority and the CSA-B149.1 installation codes.

For USA installations consult the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

Remote ON/OFF Switch Installation

Do not wire the remote ON/OFF wall switch for this gas appliance into a 120 V power supply.

1. Thread the wiring through the electrical knockout located on either side of the unit. Take care not to cut the wire or insulation on metal edges. Ensure the wire is secured and protected from possible damage. Run one end to the gas control valve and the other end to the conveniently located wall switch.

2. Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install the switch into the receptacle box. Attach the cover plate to the switch.

3. Connect the wire to the gas control valve. (Fig. 7)

Remote ON/OFF Switch

Fig. 6 Typical gas supply installation.

Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and water solution applied with a brush no larger than 1” (25 mm). Never apply soap and water solution with a spray bottle. Do not use an open flame for leak testing.

The fireplace valve must not be subjected to any test pressures exceeding 1/2 p.s.i. Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas appliance control from the gas line when pressure testing.

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 upstream of the control.

When using copper or flex connector use only approved fittings. Always provide a union when using black iron pipe so that the gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. (Fig. 6) See the gas specifications for pressure details and ratings.

It is strongly suggested that a licensed electrician perform the wiring of the EB-1 Electrical Junction Box.

Ensure that the power to the supply line has been disconnected before commencing this procedure.

The EB-1 Electrical junction box is fitted with this model to provide for easy installation of an optional fan kit.

To connect the EB-1 box to the house electrical supply follow the steps below:

1. Unscrew the retaining screw from the EB-1 base plate (Fig. 9), and remove the EB-1 assembly from the fireplace.

2. Remove the front cover of the EB-1 box.

3 Remove the plug socket assembly from the EB-1

box.

4. Feed the supply line in from the outside through the cable clamp. (Fig. 9)

5. Connect black wire of the power supply line to the brass screw (polarized) of the socket assembly.

6. Connect the white wire of the power line to the chrome screw of the socket assembly.

7. Connect the ground wire of the supply line to the green screw of the socket assembly.

8. Refit the socket assembly back into the electrical box and replace the cover plate. Secure the cable with the clamp on the outside of the unit to prevent strain on the connections.

Twist-lock Pipes

When using Vermont Castings, Majestic Products twist-lock pipe it is not necessary to use sealant on the joints. The only areas of the venting system that need to be sealed with high temperature silicone sealant are the collars on the fireplace and the sliding joint of any telescopic vent section used in the system.

To join twist-lock pipes together, simply align the beads of the male end with the grooves of the female end, twisting the pipe until the flange on the female end contacts external flange on the male end. It is recommended that you secure the joints with three (3) sheet metal screws; however, this is not mandatory with twist-lock pipe. (Fig. 17)

To make it easier to assemble the joints we suggest putting a lubricant (Vaseline or similar) on the male end of the twist-lock pipe prior to assembly.

How to Use the Vent Graph

The Vent Graph should be read in conjunction with the following vent installation instructions to determine the relationship between the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the vent system.

1. Determine the height of the center of the horizontal vent pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this dimension on the Sidewall Vent Graph below, locate the point intersecting with the slanted graph line.

2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to the bottom of the graph.

3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the fireplace in accordance with same.

Example A:

If the vertical dimension from the floor of the fireplace is 11’ (3.4m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not exceed 14’ (4.3m).

Example B:

If the vertical dimension from the floor of the unit is 7’ (2.14m), the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall must not exceed 8¹⁄₂’ (2.6m).

Rear Wall Vent Installation

Step 1

Locate and cut the vent opening in the wall. For combustible walls, first frame in opening. (Fig. 20) Combustible Walls: Cut a 10³⁄₈”H x 9³⁄₈”W

(265 x 240mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as shown.

Noncombustible Walls: Hole opening should be 7¹⁄₂” (190mm) in diameter.

Zero clearance sleeve is required only for combustible walls.

Step 2

Measure wall thickness and cut zero clearance sleeve parts to proper length (maximum 12” / 305mm). Assemble sleeve to its maximum opening (10³⁄₈” x 9³⁄₈”)(265 x 240mm), and attach to firestop with #8 sheet metal screws (supplied). Install firestop assembly. (Fig. 21)

Step 3

Measure the horizontal length requirement for the venting including a 2” (51mm) overlap; i.e., from the elbow to the outside wall face plus 2” (51mm). (Fig. 19)

Step 4

Install the 4” (102mm) vent to the appliance collar and secure with 3 sheet metal screws. Install the 7” (175mm) vent pipe to the appliance collar and secure with 3 sheet metal screws. If a 45° elbow is being

used, attach the elbow to the appliance with sealant in the same manner then attach the venting to the elbow. It is not necessary to seal the 45° elbow to the starter pipe or termination in the straight out and 45° installation in Figure 19.

It is critical that there is no downward slope away from the appliance when connecting the vent or elbow.

Step 5

Guide the venting through the vent hole as you place the appliance in its installed position. Guide the 4” (102mm) and 7” (175mm) collars of the vent termination into the outer ends of the venting. Do not force the termination. If the vent pipes do not align with the termination, remove and realign the venting at the appliance flue collars. (Fig. 22) Attach the termination to the wall as outlined in the instruction sheet supplied with the termination.

Vent Termination

FP1005

Vertical Sidewall Application

It is very important the venting system maintain its balance between the combustion air intake and the flue gas exhaust, therefore, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and must be strictly adhered to.

The Vent Graph (Page 14), showing the relationship between vertical and horizontal side wall venting, will help to determine the various dimensions allowable.

Minimum clearance between vent pipes and combustible materials is 1” (25mm) on top, bottom and sides unless otherwise noted.

When vent termination exits through foundations less than 20” (508mm) below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must flush up with the siding.

It is best to position the fireplace so the number of offsets and horizontal vent length are minimized.

The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe from the flue collar of the fireplace (or the top of the Transition Elbow) to the face of the outer wall.

Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this portion of the vent assembly.

When installing the appliance as a rear vent unit, the 90° or 45° transition elbow attached directly to the rear of the unit is NOT INCLUDED in the following criteria and calculations, and unless specifically mentioned, are to be ignored when calculating venting layouts.

• The maximum number of 45° elbows permitted per

side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.

• For each 45° elbow installed in the horizontal run,

the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18” (45cm). This does not apply if the 45° elbows are installed on the vertical part of the vent system.

• The maximum number of elbow degrees in a

system is 270°. (Fig. 26)

Example:

Elbow 1 = 90° Elbow 2 = 45° Elbow 3 = 45° Elbow 4 = 90°

Total angular variation = 270°

Vertical Sidewall Installation

Step 1

Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary to first position the fireplace and measure to obtain hole location. Depending on whether the wall is combustible or noncombustible, cut opening to size.

For combustible walls, first frame in opening. (Fig. 27) Combustible Walls: Cut a 9³⁄₈” H x 9³⁄₈” W

(240 x 240mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as shown.

Noncombustible Walls: Hole opening must be 7¹⁄₂” (190mm) in diameter.

Step 2

Measure wall thickness and cut zero clearance sleeve parts to proper length (maximum 12” / 305mm). Assemble sleeve and attach to firestop with #8 sheet metal screws (supplied). Install firestop assembly. (Fig. 28)

Step 3

Place fireplace into position. Measure the vertical height (X) required from the base of the flue collars to the center of the wall opening. (Fig. 29)

Fig. 30 Horizontal length requirement.

FP1182

Fig. 29 Vertical height requirements.

FP1181

Step 4

Apply a bead of silicone to the inner and outer flue collars of the fireplace and using appropriate length of pipe section(s) attach to fireplace with three (3) screws. Follow with the installation of the inner and outer elbow, again securing joints as described in the ‘Connecting Vent Pipe’ section.

Step 5

Measure the horizontal length requirement including a 2” (51mm) overlap; i.e., from the elbow to the outside wall face plus 2” (51mm), or the distance required if installing a second 90° elbow. (Fig. 30)

Always install horizontal venting on a level plane.

Step 6

Use appropriate length of pipe sections, telescopic or fixed, and install. The sections which go through the wall are packaged with the starter kit, and can be cut to suit if necessary.

NOTE: Sealing vent pipe and firestop gaps with high temperature sealant will restrict cold air being drawn in around fireplace.

Step 7

Apply high temperature sealant to the 4” (102mm) and 7” (175mm) collars only. Guide the 4” and 7” collars of the vent termination into their respective vent pipes. Double check that the vent pipes overlap the collars by 2” (51mm). Secure the termination to the wall with screws provided and caulk around the wall plate to weatherproof.

Alternatives to screwing the termination directly to the wall is using either expanding plugs or an approved exterior construction adhesive. Or, you could attach the termination with screws through the inner body into the 4” vent pipe, however, for this latter method, extend the 4” pipe approximately 6” (152mm) beyond the outer face of the wall.

Support horizontal pipes every 3’ (91cm) with metal pipe straps.

Below Grade Installation

When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal clearances of 12” (305mm) above grade level, a snorkel termination is recommended. It allows installation depth down to 7” (178mm) below grade level. The 7” (178mm) is measured from the center of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through the wall.

NOTE: Ensure that sidewall venting clearances are observed. If venting system is installed below ground, a window well with adequate and proper drainage to be installed around the termination area is recommended.

10002428

Page 19

Vermont Castings, Majestic Products DVRT36/39/ 43

If installing a snorkel, a minimum 24” (610mm) vertical rise is necessary. The maximum horizontal run with the 24” (610mm) vertical pipe is 36” (915mm). This measurement is taken from the collar of the fireplace (or transition elbow) to the face of the exterior wall. Refer to the Sidewall Venting Graph for extended horizontal run if the vertical exceeds 24” (610mm).

1. Establish vent hole through the wall. (Page 17, Fig.

27)

2. Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16” (406mm) below base of snorkel. Install drain pipe. Install window well (not supplied). Refill hole with 12” (305mm) of coarse gravel, leaving a clearance of approximately 4” (102mm) below snorkel. (Fig.

31)

3. Install vent system.

4. Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent pipe coming through the wall.

5. Apply high temperature sealant caulking (supplied) around the 4” and 7” snorkel collars.

6. Slide the snorkel into the vent pipes and secure to the wall.

7. Level the soil so as to maintain a 4” (102mm) clearance below snorkel. (Fig. 31)

limitations shown in the graph. Be aware that flexible ducting is more restrictive to air flow than rigid ducting.

6. Secure all joints with three (3) sheet metal screws. Seal all joints with foil-faced aluminium tape to prevent heat loss and maintain maximum air flow.

7. Ensure the following clearances are maintained

TWL101a

when installing the DVRT43 Gravity Ducting System.

Clearance to Combustibles

Gravity Ducting System

The Gravity Ducting System is only applicable if installing the DVRT43 Direct Vent Fireplace.

Installation of the DVRT43 fireplace provides an opportunity to heat either rooms on an upper level or adjacent rooms on the same level without the use of a blower. However, with the internal blower installed, there will be some increase in warm air movement to rooms serviced by the gravity duct. (Fig. 39 and Fig. 40)

1. Plan the gravity duct run first. Use the following graph (Fig. 39) to ensure that the installation meets the recommendations. There is a maximum number of three (3) elbows in a run, however, the run must never go in a downward direction, as this can trap heat in the gravity vent system. Be aware when designing the ducting system that elbows will restrict airflow. Minimize the use of elbows in any installation.

2. It is recommended that the gravity ducting system be installed so that the grilles exit at the same vertical level. If the gravity venting system is installed so the ducting exits at different levels, a chimney effect may occur, resulting in uneven heat distribution.

10002428

Clearance between ducting and combustibles = 1” (25mm) Clearance between grille adapter and combustibles = 0” (0mm)

Never allow a downward slope in any section of the ducting.

Glass Cleaning

It is necessary to periodically clean the glass panel. It is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass during start-up. This condensation causes lint, dust, and other airborne particles to cling to glass surface. Also, initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass.

Cleaning the glass two or three times within the first few weeks of operation is recommended, using nonammonia based household cleaner and warm water, or gas fireplace glass cleaner.

After the initial cleaning process, the glass should be cleaned two or three times during each operating season, depending on the environment in the house.

Clean the glass after the first two weeks of operation.

Do not clean glass when it is hot. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Do not strike or slam the glass.

Instructions for RF Comfort Control Valve

The Comfort Control Valve allows remote control of temperature, fan and flame appearance.

NOTE: The antenna should hang in free air away from grounded metal.

Operation of RF Comfort Control Valve

1. If the manual switch is in remote position, switch it to LOCAL. (Fig. 52)

2. Turn the pilotstat knob counterclockwise from OFF to the PILOT position, push the knob down, and hold in position. The pilot valve opens and allows gas to flow to the pilot burner.

3. Push plunger on the piezo until the pilot burner is lit. When the pilot burner is lit, the LED on the control will come on after approximately 40 seconds and will provide one short blink continuously in the normal mode. When the light turns off (approximately 10 seconds after it has been continuously red), the receiver/valve is fully powered.

4. Release the knob. The shaft will move upward. The pilot burner should now stay burning. If the pilot burner goes out, repeat Step 2.

5. Turn the knob counterclockwise to the ON position. If the manual switch is in the LOCAL position, the main burner will turn on immediately.

6. Upon initial use of a transmitter, a recognition operation is required between the receiver/valve and transmitter. Change the switch from LOCAL to REMOTE. Press the fan or flame button on the transmitter within 30 seconds. The LED will blink indicating the transmitter will now work with the receiver/ valve. If the switch continues in the RE- MOTE position, the transmitter will now control the main valve, flame modulation level, and fan control.

Troubleshooting

RF Comfort Control Valve

1. Locate LED light on valve. (Fig. 52)

2. LED will blink after every valid command received by the transmitter; this is not an error.

3. Failure codes may occur any time after pilot burner is lit.

4. Sequence is failure code followed by LED not blinking for 30 seconds.

5. In the event of multiple failure codes, next failure code follows previous failure code by approximately three seconds.

If Error Code 3 is observed while performing the testing, complete the following:

1. Make sure the spade connectors are pushed all the way on. (Fig. 54) If Error Code 3 is still showing, go to the next step.

2. Switch the front two thermopile leads with the back two leads. (Be sure the white leads are connected to the spades with white dots next to them.) If Error Code 3 is still showing, replace the thermopiles.

If Error Code 8 is observed while performing the testing, complete the following:

1. Confirm the valve is not in REMOTE mode. (Fig. 52)

• If the valve is producing Error Code 8 and in

REMOTE mode, the valve is defective and should be replaced.

• If the valve is in LOCAL mode and producing

Error Code 8, then go to the next step.

2. Slide the Remote/Local switch to REMOTE and program the transmitter per Item 6, Page 31. The Error Code will clear itself after approximately

1.5 minutes and return to normal operation.

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.

FK-24/FK-12 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 buildup of dust or lint.

Brass Trim

Clean the brass trim pieces using a soft cloth lightly dampened with lemon oil. Do not use water or household cleaners on any brass components.

Contact your local representative to arrange an annual service program.

Cleaning the Standing

Pilot Control System

The burner and control system consists of:

• burner housing

• pilot assembly

• millivolt gas valve

• gas orifice

• thermopile

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.

1. Turn off pilot light at gas valve side.

2. Let fireplace cool if it has been running.

3. Remove window frame assembly. (Refer to ‘Window Frame Assembly Removal’ section.}

4. Remove logs.

5. Vacuum burner compartment especially around orifice primary air openings.

6. Visually inspect pilot. Brush or blow away any dust or lint accumulation.

7. Reinstall logs.

8. Ignite pilot. Refer to ‘Lighting Instructions’.

9. Reinstall window frame assembly.

To obtain proper operation, it is imperative that the pilot and burner’s flame characteristics are steady, not lifting or floating.

Typically, the top 3/8” to 1/2” of the thermopile should be engulfed in the pilot flame. Refer to Page 28, Figure

48.

To adjust pilot burner (by qualified service technician):

1. Remove pilot adjustment cap.

2. Adjust pilot screw to provide properly sized flame.

3. Replace pilot adjustment cap.

The primary air shutter is set at factory and should be adjusted, if necessary, only by a qualified service technician.
