Installation & Operating Instructions
Design-certified to ANSI Z21.11.2b- 2004. Gas-Fired Room
Heaters — Vol. II, Unvented Room Heaters.
This gas room heater should be installed by a qualified installer,
preferably NFI or WETT (Canada) certified, in accordance with
local building codes and with current National Fuel Gas Code.
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, all gas fittings
and installation of this heater shall only be done by a
licensed gas fitter or licensed plumber.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket,
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.
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.
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. 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 build
ing 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 10-11 kg per pa-sec-m
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
peneetrations for plumbing, electrical and gas lines and at
other openings.
If the area in which the heater may be operated is

FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF YOUR
VENT-FREE ROOM HEATER PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
1. This heater gives off high temperatures and should be lo
cated out of high traffic areas and away from furniture and
draperies.
2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of the
high surface temperatures of this heater and should stay
away to avoid burns or ignition of clothing.
3. Children should be carefully supervised when they are in
the same room as your heater.
4. Under no circumstances should this heater be modified.
Parts removed for service should be replaced prior to operating this heater again.
5. Installation and any repairs to this heater should be carried
out by a qualified service person. A professional service
person should be contacted to inspect this heater annually.
Make it a practice to have all of your gas heaters checked
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
heater 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 unit.
7. Under no circumstances should any solid fuels (wood, coal,
paper or cardboard, etc.) be used in this heater.
8. Keep the area around your heater clear of combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapor and liquids.
This heater should not be used as a drying rack for clothing, nor should Christmas stockings or decorations be hung
in the area of it.
-
9. Whether the heater is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl
tile or any combustible material other than wood, this
heater must be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and depth of the heater.
10. Do not install heater in bedroom or bathroom.
WARNING: Do not install televisions or other electronic devices above this fireplace unless approved
by the electronics manufacturer.
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 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.

Gas Supply Pressures
This heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve
during any pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45
kPa).
The heater and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).
Natural Gas LP
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.
The installation of your fireplace must conform
with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 latest edition.
(EXCEPTION: Do not derate this appliance for
elevations up to 4,500 ft. (1,370m). Maintain
the manifold pressure at 3.5" w.c. for Natural
Gas and 10" 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
