Safety Information
Description
The ODSR Series "A" fireplaces are clean-faced, solid
fuel, woodburning fireplaces.
Precautions
Majestic Fireplaces and component parts have been
highly tested and will operate safely when installed in
accordance with instructions provided in this manual.
Carefully read and understand all instructions before
beginning installation.
If you notice any damage to fireplace or component parts,
immediately report damage to your Majestic Fireplaces
dealer.
Only use MHSC components or the warranty will be
voided and a fire hazard may be created.
MHSC warranty will be voided by and MHSC disclaims
any responsibility for the following actions:
• Installation of any damaged fireplace or chimney
component;
• Modification of fireplace, chimney assembly or any
component parts thereof; (except for chase flash-
ings as detailed in MHSC Chimney Top installation
instructions).
• Installation other than as instructed by MHSC; or
• Installation and/or use of any component part not
manufactured or approved by MHSC in combination
or assembly with a MHSC fireplace system, notwith-
standing any independent testing laboratory or other
third party approval of such component parts or ac-
cessory.
Any such action may possibly cause a fire hazard.
Consult local building codes to ensure that you are in
compliance before installing the fireplace.
Fireplaces must be vented to the out-of-doors.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of damaging fireplace
materials and increasing the risk of spreading a fire,
do not use the fireplace to cook or warm food.
Do not obstruct or modify air inlets/outlets in any
manner.
Do not install combustible materials on any of the
fireplace surround.
Burn only solid wood fuel or gas logs.
Do not install a solid fuel burning insert or other
products not specified for use with this fireplace.
These fireplaces are not approved for installation in
mobile homes.
This fireplace is not designed to be water tight.
Therefore, when installing this unit against an exte-
rior wall, the wall must be finished before setting unit
in place.
Moisture Resistance
This outdoor fireplace will shed moderate amounts of
water, but is not waterproof. Water and condensing water
vapor may enter the chase under certain conditions.
The fireplace will not perform as an exterior wall. Mois-
ture penetration must be considered for construction
that places the fireplace in structure walls or on moisture
sensitive surfaces.
When installed on exterior walls: MHSC recommends
the fireplace chase be constructed outside the structure's
weather envelope. Where the platform meets the wall,
use a flashing detail similar to that required for attached
decks. Chase platforms, including hearths should slope
away from the structure at 1/4 in per foot. The fireplace
can be shimmed level.
When installed on surfaces where water may collect or
cause damage: MHSC recommends a slope of 1/8 in
to 1/4 in per foot towards the drain port suggested. The
fireplace can be shimmed level.
Hearths should slope away from the front of the fireplace
and chase at 1/8 in to 1/4 in per foot. Metal safety strips
must be on top of any combustible hearth materials used
for moisture management.
Drafts
The fireplace should not be located in areas that create
drafts (ie: frequently opened doors and central heating air
inlets/outlets) that hamper the normal flow of air into the
fire.
Gas Logs
If you plan to install a gas log, the gas line should be
installed before framing the fireplace. The gas line must
be installed by a certified gas line installer.
Cleaning
There are three methods of cleaning the polished stain-
less steel of your outdoor fireplace;
1. Warm, soapy water - to loosen any dirt film
2. Glass cleaner with ammonia
3. Stainless steel cleaner available at hardware stores
Regardless of which method is used, remember that any-
thing with too much abrasive may dull the finish.
