INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
F
This gas fireplace should be installed by a qualified
installer in accordance with local building codes and with
current CSA-B149 (.1 or .2) Installation codes for Gas
Burning Appliances and Equipment. For USA Installations
follow local codes and/or the current National Fuel Gas
Code. ANSI Z223.1. If the unit is being installed in a
mobile home the installation should comply with the
current CAN/USA Z240.4 Code.
FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION PLEASE
NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
1 . This fireplace gives off high temperatures and should
be located out of high traffic areas and away from
furniture and draperies.
2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards
of fireplace high surface temperatures and should
stay away to avoid burns or ignition of clothing.
3. CAUTION: Due to high glass surface temperature
children should be carefully supervised when in
the same room as fireplace.
4. Under no circumstances should this fireplace be
modified. Parts removed for servicing should be
replaced prior to operating this fireplace again.
5. Installation and any repairs to fireplace must be
performed by qualified installer, service agency or gas
supplier. A professional service person should be
contacted to inspect fireplace annually. More frequent
cleaning may be required due to excess lint and dust
from carpeting, bedding material, etc.
6. Control compartments, burners and air passages in
this fireplace should be kept clean and free of dust
and lint. Make sure that the gas valve and pilot light
are turned off before you attempt to clean this
fireplace.
7. The venting system (chimney) of this fireplace should
be checked at least once a year and if needed your
venting system should be cleaned.
8.
Keep the area around your fireplace clear of combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapour
and liquids. This fireplace should not be used as a
drying rack for clothing, nor should Christmas stockings
or decorations be hung on or around the fireplace.
9. Under no circumstances should any solid fuels (wood,
coal, paper or cardboard etc.) be used in this
fireplace.
10. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be
obstructed in any way.
11. When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting,
vinyl tile or any combustible material other than wood,
this fireplace must be installed on a metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth of the fireplace.
12. This fireplace requires adequate ventilation and
combustion air to operate properly.
13. This fireplace must not be connected to a chimney flue
serving a separate solid fuel burning fireplace.
14. When the fireplace is not in use it is recommended
that the gas control valve be left in the OFF position.
Irving Oil
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from 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 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 ventilatedopen 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.

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 available and used.
Input ratings are shown in BTU per hour and
are certified without deration for elevations up
to 4,500 feet (1,370 m) above sea level.
For elevations above 4,500 feet (1,370 m) 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 (1,370 m).

PREPARATION
The use of wall paper adjacent to this
fireplace is not recommended, as the
high heat given off by this fireplace may
adversely affect the binders in the
adhesive used to apply the wallpaper.
Before beginning, remove the window frame assembly
from the fireplace. Also check to make sure there is not
hidden damage to the fireplace. Take a minute and
plan out the gas, vent and electrical supply. See
Window Frame Assembly Section.
GAS LINE INSTALLATION
When purging the gas line, the front
glass must be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear of
the fireplace as well as the bottom. Opening is provided
on the bottom behind the valve to allow for the gas pipe
installation and testing of any gas connecion. 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
some additional local codes, it is always
best to consult your local authority and
the CSA-B149 (.1 or .2) installation code.
For USA Installations consult the current
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
Always check for gas leaks with a mild
soap and water solution. Do not use an
open flame for leak 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 up stream of the control.

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 (see Fig. 2)
See gas specification for pressure details and ratings.
The fireplace valve must not be
subjected to any test pressures
exceeding 1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect
this or any other gas appliance control
from the gas line when pressure testing.
INSTALLATION OF REMOTE
SWITCH FOR RN/RP GAS VALVE
The remote ON/OFF switch can not be fitted to units
using the Honeywell Radio Frequency control valve.
If the fireplace has been fitted with the Radio
Frequency Control Valve, the ON/OFF function is
controlled by the remote handset. (See the Comfort
Control Valve Operating Instruction Section).
Install on/off switch assembly on either the rear right or
left side of the Fireplace.
1. Remove the screw at the back of the cabinet top
either on the left or the right side of the fireplace.
2. Position switch assembly onto the back of the
fireplace, then fasten two screws as shown in Fig. 5.
3. Attach wiring under the clips on the rear casing
(Fig. 5) and install wiring through the rear opening
of the fireplace before connecting to the valve as
shown in Fig. 4.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON ASSEMBLING
THE VENT PIPES IN DIRECT VENT APPLICATIONS
NOTE: Only venting components manufactured by The Vermont Castings Majestic Products Company may be used.
CRIMPED END PIPES
Before joining elbows and pipes apply a bead of high
temperature sealant to the crimped end of the elbow or
pipe. Join the pipes using a 2” (50mm) overlap and
secure the joints with three (3) sheet metal screws
(Fig. 11). Wipe off excess sealant.
There are polished brass decorative
rings available to hide the exposed
piping joints. Wrap the brass ring over
the joint fitting the stud into the notch
and tighten down the 3/8” nut.
BEAD LOCATION
1" FROM CRIMPED END OF PIPE
1''
Screw Holes
TWIST LOCK PIPES
When using twist-lock pipe it is not necessary to use
sealant on the twist lock 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 termination, and the sliding
joint of any telescopic vent section used in the system.
To join the 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 the 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.
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.
Fig. 11
CANADIAN INSTALLATIONS:
The venting system must be installed in accordance
with the current CSA-B149 (.1 or .2) installation code.
USA INSTALLATIONS:
The venting system must conform with local codes
and/or the current National Fuel Gas code ANSI
Z223.1.
