fects and other reproductive harm.
California Health & Safety Code Sec. 25249.6
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 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.
WARNING: Check with your electronics manufactur-
er before installing a television or other electronic
device above this fireplace.

Hearth Extension
A hearth extension in front of appliance is recommend-
ed, but not required.
Insulating for Cold Climates
When an appliance is installed in a chase or an outside
wall, the enclosure should be insulated like any other
wall of the home. Insulation should be installed under
the appliance and on the inside of the exterior walls.
In a chase, it is a good idea to install a firestop at the
first ceiling level above the appliance. Also, install insu-
lation on the side walls. Insulation may then be placed
above the ceiling to assure the space around the appli-
ance is protected. Refer to Page 7, Figure 5.

Gas Line Installation
If gas piping is not yet completed from the source to the
appliance location, install the required pipe. To ensure
use of proper pipe size, consult the local plumbing
code.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right-
hand side (facing the control side) of the appliance.
A knockout is provided to allow for the gas pipe instal-
lation and testing of any gas connection.
NOTE: The gas line connection can be made with
properly tinned 3/8" copper tubing, 1/2" rigid pipe or an
approved flex connector, then reduced to 3/8" to the
appliance. Because some municipalities have some
additional local codes, it is always best to consult your
local authority.
U.S.A.: Consult the current National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
CANADA: CSA–B149.1 Installation Code.
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 pro-
vide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or flex connector use only approved
fittings. Always provide a union so the gas line can be
easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing. See gas
specification for pressure details and ratings.
NOTE: If flex connector is used, it must be kept inside of
the appliance. (Fig. 6)
Remote Wall Switch
1. Thread wire through the electrical knockout located
on side of unit. Run the other end to a conveniently
located wall receptacle box. Ensure the wire is pro-
tected; do not cut wire or insulation on metal edges.
2. Attach wire to switch and install switch into recep-
tacle box. Attach cover plate to switch.
3. Connect wiring to gas valve. Refer to Figure 7 or 8
and follow the appropriate diagram.
CAUTION: Do not wire millivolt remote
wall switch for gas applicnce to 120V
power supply. For lighting instructions, refer
to Page 13 or 14.

EB-1 Electrical Box
The fireplace, when installed, must be
electrically connected and grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in the ab-
sence of local codes, with the current CSA
C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code.
For USA installations, follow local codes
and the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA No. 70.
It is strongly suggested that the wiring of
the EB-1 electrical junction box be carried
out by a licensed electrician.
Ensure that the power to the supply line
has been disconnected before commenc-
ing this procedure.
Once the fireplace is secured, complete wiring the fan
kit. Remove knockout in the center of the back of the
EB1 and install listed cable clamps. Feed electrical
wire through cable clamp leaving approximately six (6)
inches of wire exposed through the EB1. Secure cable
clamp to the wire.
Attach white wire from power source to one (1) wire of
receptacle and secure with a nut. Attach black wire from
power source to the other wire of the receptacle and
secure with a nut. Be sure nuts are tightened securely.
Secure the EB1 assembly to the inside of the electrical
box coverplate using two (2) screws. Attach the cover
to the face of the EB1 while being careful to position
excess wire completely within the EB1. Attach the cov-
erplate to the fireplace. (Fig. 9)
Install the Venting System,
Flashing, and Termination

completed by a licensed qualified service person.
• Replacement glass is available through your
Majestic Fireplaces dealer and should only be
installed by a licensed qualified service person.
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 to 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.
Log Installation
1. Open glass door (if installed).
2. Remove logs from the packaging.
As with all plastic
items, these logs
are not toys and
should be kept
away from children
and infants.
3. Place rear log on back
bracket. Ensure that log is
firmly positioned and there
is no side-to-side move-
ment.
4. Place the front log on the
front bracket. Ensure that
the log is firmly positioned
and there is no side to side movement.
5. Place the four top logs onto the front and rear logs
as shown in Figure 13. Ensure that the logs are se-
cure on the tabs located on the front and rear logs.

Ember Material Placement
Separate the ember material into small pieces—roughly
1/2" (13 mm) diameter—and place on the bracket over
the lower burner tubes. Do not pack down ember mate-
rial; leave in loose, fluffy condition for the most realistic
ember effect. (Fig. 14)
Lava Rock
The lava rock provided with this fireplace must be
placed on the firebox base on either side of the burner
assembly. Do not place lava rock in combustion pan.
Under no circumstances should lava rock
be placed on any part of the burner assem-
bly.
First Firing
Upon completing the gas line connection, a small
amount of air will be trapped in the line. When first light-
ing the unit with pilot light, it will take a few minutes to
purge the trapped air.
Once purging is complete, the pilot and burner will light
and operate as indicated in the instruction manual.
Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require
purging.
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight
odor for an hour or two. This is due to paint and lubri-
cants used in the manufacturing process.
After each lighting, vapor may condense and fog the
glass; this moisture disappears in a few minutes of
burning.

Inspecting the Venting System
The appliance venting system was designed and con-
structed to develop a positive flow adequate to remove
flue gases to the outside atmosphere.
Any foreign objects in the venting system, except those
designed specifically for the venting system, may cause
spillage of flue gases (i.e.: carbon monoxide) into the
room.
To inspect the venting system, make sure the main gas
valve is off. Remove the glass panel. Using a flashlight,
check the combustion dome and behind the top grille.
Clean if necessary.

Maintenance
Keep the control compartment, logs and burner area
surrounding the logs clean by vacuuming or brushing at
least twice a year. THE LOGS CAN GET VERY HOT
— HANDLE ONLY WHEN COOL.
Always turn off gas to the pilot before cleaning. For
relighting, refer to lighting instructions located on the
front cover plate.
Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air. Keep the front of the appliance clear of all obstacles
and materials.
Leave at least 36" clearance from front of appliance to
combustibles.
Cleaning the Standing
Pilot Control System
The burner and control system consists of:
• main burner
• gas orifice
• pilot burner
• thermopile
• combination millivolt gas valve
Most of these components may require only an occa-
sional checkup and cleaning and some may require ad-
justment. If repair is necessary, it should be performed
by a qualified technician.
In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assem-
bly, turn off the gas to the unit, open the glass door
(if used), remove logs exposing the burner and pilot
assembly. Clean all foreign materials from the top of the
burner. Check to make sure that burner parts are clean.
Visually inspect pilot. Brush or blow away any dust or
lint accumulation If pilot orifice is plugged, disassembly
may be required to remove any foreign material from
the orifice or tubing.
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" or 1/2" of the thermopile should
be engulfed in the pilot flame. (Page 12, Fig. 16)
To adjust pilot burner, adjust pilot screw marked "pilot"
for proper size:
1. Remove pilot adjustment cap.
2. Adjust pilot screw to provide properly sized flame.
3. Replace pilot adjustment cap.
The air shutter is set at factory; no adjustment should
be necessary.
Cleaning Automatic Direct
Electronic Ignition System
The Electronic Ignition burner/ control system consists
of:
• main burner
• gas orifice
• hot surface pilot burner
• 24VAC valve with transformer
Taking care of the Electronic Ignition units is almost
identical to taking care of the Standing Pilot models.
(See the Maintenance section on page 16.)
The hot surface ignitor is the only component which
requires EXTREMELY DELICATE HANDLING. The
ignitor is made of silicone carbide which is a very brittle
material.
Do not touch the heating part of the ignitor
with your fingers.
