IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ 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 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 Vermont
Castings, Majestic Products 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.
Locating Your Gas Fireplace Insert
Your Direct Vented Insert unit was designed to be installed in an existing
woodburning fireplace. The location and
clearances are therefore subject to your
local building codes.
Insert Applications
Before installing the gas fireplace insert, consideration
must be given to the functioning needs of the fireplace.
The size of the fireplace cavity (min. 28³⁄₄"W x 21¹⁄₄"H x
16" D), the design of the chimney (a minimum size of 8" x
12" is necessary to accommodate the two (2) 3" liners).
The availability of the gas supply as well as electricity for
the insert fan must be confirmed.
Your Direct Vented Insert unit is designed
to be vented vertically only with a minimum
height of 12 feet.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermaket
permanently located, manufactured (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 an available certified kit is used.

ANSI Z 21.88-2002 / CSA 2.33-2002
Vented Gas Fireplace Heaters
The installation of your Vermont Castings,
Majestic Products Fireplace must conform with
local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
latest edition, or CSA B149.1 Installation Code.
(EXCEPTION: Do not derate this appliance for
elevations up to 4,500 ft. (1370mm). Maintain
the manifold pressure at 3.5" w.c. for Natural
Gas and 10" w.c. for LP gas.)
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 valve.
When using copper or flex connector use
only approved fittings. Always provide a
union when using black iron pipe so the gas
line can be easily disconnected for burner or
fan servicing. See gas specification 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. Since some
municipalities have some additional local codes, it is
always best to consult your local authority and the
CSA- B149.1 installation code.
U.S. Installations consult the current National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
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
installation layout for rigid pipe is shown following. (Fig.
1)
During any pressure testing of the gas line system,
when the test pressures are to exceed 1/2 psi (3.5 kpa)
the fireplace and its gas valve must not be connected
to that system.
At test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi, the gas
valve of the fireplace may be connected to the gas line,
but must be in the closed position.

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