IMPORTANT:
PLEASE READ 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 used in 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) continuous 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.
