FOR U.S.A Installations follow local codes and/or the current
National Fuel Gas Code. ANSI Z223.1.
FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION PLEASE
NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
1. This replace gives off high temperatures and should be
located out of high trafc areas and away from furniture
and draperies.
2. Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of the
high surface temperatures of this replace 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 they are in the same
room as the replace.
4. Under no circumstances should this replace be modied.
Parts removed for servicing should be replaced prior to
operating the replace again.
5. Installation and any repairs to this replace should be
carried out by a qualied service person. A professional
service person should be contacted to inspect this replace
annually. Make it a practice to have all of your gas re-
places 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
replace 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 replace.
7. The venting system (chimney) of this replace should be
checked at least once a year and if needed your venting
system should be cleaned.
8. Keep the area around your replace clear of combustible
materials, gasoline and other ammable vapour and liq-
uids. This replace should not be used as a drying rack for
clothing, nor should Christmas stockings or decorations
be hung on or around the replace.
9. Under no circumstances should any solid fuels (wood,
coal, paper or cardboard etc.) be used in this replace.
10. The ow of combustion and ventilation air must not be
obstructed in any way.
11. When the replace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl
tile or any combustible material other than wood, the
replace must be installed on a metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth of the replace.
12. This replace requires adequate ventilation and combus-
tion air to operate properly.
13. This replace must not be connected to a chimney ue
serving a separate solid fuel burning replace.
14. When the replace is not in use it is recommended that the
gas control valve be left in the OFF position.
This appliance has been approved for
after-market mobile home installations
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the re-
place ON.
It is normal for replaces 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 Majestic gas replace to give
off some odour the rst 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 Majestic replace for
a least six (6) hours the rst time you use it. If the optional
fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the “OFF”
position during this time.

MANTELS
The height that a combustible mantel is tted above the re-
place is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This also applies
to the distance between the mantel leg (if tted) and the
replace.
For the correct mounting height and widths refer to Fig. 2 and
the following Mantel Charts.
The tting of a bay window trim kit does not effect the
distances and reference points referred to in the diagram and
chart.
Non-combustible mantels and legs may be installed at any
height and width around the appliance.
When using paint or lacquer to nish the mantel, such paint or
lacquer must be heat resistant to prevent discolouration.

HEARTH
A Hearth is not mandatory but it is recommended for aesthetic
purpose. We recommend a non-combustible hearth which
projects out 12” (305 mm) or more from the front of the
replace.
Cold climate Installation Recommendation:
When installing this unit against a non-insu-
lated exterior wall or chase, it is mandatory that
the outer walls be insulated to conform to appli-
cable insulation codes.
FRAMING AND FINISHING
1. Choose the unit location.
2. Place the unit into position and secure it to the oor with
1.5” (38 mm) screws, or nails. The holes to secure the
unit to the oor are located just behind the access door
grille on the left and right side of the unit.
3. Frame in the replace with a header across the top. It is
important to allow for the nished wall face when setting
the depth of the frame.
4. Attach the replace to the frame using the adjustable
frame drywall strips (located behind the access door for
shipping). Preset the depth to suit the facing material of
the wall. The strips are adjustable to 1/2”(13 mm), 5/8”
(16 mm) or 3/4” (19 mm), Fig. 3 & 4.
5. Screw through the slotted holes in the drywall strip and
into the pre-drilled holes in the replace side. Measure
from the face of the replace to the face of the drywall
strip to conrm the nal depth.
