FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
I This fireplace gives off high temperatures and should be
located 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 fireplace and should stay
away to avoid burns w ignition of clothing.
3 Children should be carefully supervised when they are in
the same room as yourfireplace.
4 Under no circumstances should this fireplace be modified.
Parts removed for servicing should be replaced prior to
operating the fireplace again.
5 Installation and any repairs to this fireplace should be
carried out by a qualified service person. A professional
service person should be contacted to inspect this fireplace
annually. Make it a practice to have all of your gas fire-
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
fireplace 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 fireplace.
7 The venting system (chimney) of this fireplace should be
checked at least once a year and if needed your venting
system should be cleaned.
8 Keep the area around your fireplace clear of combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapour and liq-
uids. This fireplace should not be used as a drying rack for
clothing, nor should Christmas stockings or decorations
be hung on or around the fireplace.
9 Under no circumstances should any solid fuels (wood,
coal, paper or cardboard etc.) be used in this fireplace.
•10 The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be
obstructed in any way.
11 When the fireplace is installed directly on carpeting, vinyl
tile or any combustible material other than wood, the
fireplace must be installed on a metal orwood panel
extending the full width and depth of the fireplace.
12 This fireplace requires adequate ventilation and
combustion air to operate properly.
3 This fireplaces must not be connected to a chimney flue
serving a separate solid fuel burning fireplace.
14 When the fireplace is not in use it is recommended that the
gas control valve be left in the "OFF" position.
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE REVIEW 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 Majestic gas fireplace to give
off some odour 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 bum your Majestic fireplace
for a least six (6) hours the first time you use it. Ifoptional
fan kit has been installed, place fan in the "OFF" position
during this time.

The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear of the
fireplace as well as the bottom. Knockouts are provided
on the bottom behind the valve to allow for the gas pipe
installation and testing of any gas connection. It is most
convenient to bring the gas line in from the rear right side of
the valve, as this allows fan installation or removal without
disconnecting the gas line.
The gas line connection can be made with
A properly tinned 3/8" copper tubing, 3/8" rigid
pipe or a11 approved flex connector. Since
some municipalities havesome additionallocal
codes, it is always best to consult your local
authority and the CANICGA- Bl49 (.1 or .2)
installation code,
FOR U,S-A Installations consult the current National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI 2223.1
A Always check
for gas leaks with a mildsoap
and water solution. Do ltot 11se an openflame
for leak testing.
The gas controlis equipped with a captured
screw typepressure testpoint, therefore it is
notnecessary to provide a 1/8"testpoint up
stream of the control.
Fig. 2
10001948/1 -Page 5 -

When using copper or flex connector use only approved fit-
tings. Always provide a union when using back iron pipe
so that gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan
wicing, see Fig. 2. See gas specification for pressure details
•ratings.
The fireplace valve must not be subjected to any test pressures
exceeding 1/2 psi. Isolate or disconnect this or any other gas
appliance control from the gas line when pressure testing.
On fireplaces equipped with Eurosit 630 gas valves there are
brass plugs in two of the holes. These pl11gs are not to be
removed. The gas inlet hole has a plastic cap in it. Remove
the plastic cap and connect your gas supply line at this point.

CRIMPED END PIPES
Before joining elbows and pipes apply a bead of high tempera-
ture sealant to the crimped end of the elbow or pipe.
Join the pipes using a 2" (50 mm) overlap and secure joints
with three (3) sheet metal screws, (see Fig. 11). Wipe off
excess sealant.

.CANADIAN INSTALLATIONS:
•The venting system must be installed in accordance with the
current CAN/CGA-Bl49 (.I or .2) installation code.
U.S.A. INSTALLATIONS:
The venting system must conform with local codes and/or the
current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223. I.
Only venting components manufactured by The CFM Majes-
tic Products Company may be used.
When using CFM Majestic twist lock pipe it is not necessary
to use sealant at the twist lockjoints.
The only areas of the venting that need to be sealed with high
temperature silicone sealant are the collars on the fireplace and
termination, and the sliding joint of any telescopic vent pipes
used in the system.
To join the twist lock pipes together, simply align the beads of
the male end with the grooves of the female end, then while
bringing the pipes together, twist the pipe until the flange on
the female end contacts the external flange on the male end.
It is recommended that you secure the joints with 3 sheet metal
screws however this is not mandatory with twist lock pipe.
To make it easier to assemble the joints we suggest putting
a lubricant (Vaseline or similar) on the male end of the twist
lock pipe.

<;ince it is very important that the venting system maintain its
,Janee between the combustion air intake and the flue gas
1ust, certain limitations as to vent configurations apply and
,..~st be strictly adhered to.
The graph, on page 11, showing the relationship
between verticalandhorizontalside wall venting will
help to determine the various lengths allowable.
Minimum clearance between ventpipes andcom-
bustible materials is one 1"(25mm) on top, bottom
andsides unless othenvise noted.
When vent termination exits through foundations
less than 20" below siding outcrop, the ventpipe
mustflush up with the siding.
It is always best to locate the fireplace in such
a way that minimizes the number of offsets and
horizontal vent length.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of
ventpipe from theflue collar of thefireplace to the
face of the outer wall.
Horizontalplane means no vertical rise exists on
thisportion of the vent assembly.
. .
VERTICAL SIDEWALLAPPLICATIONS
• The maximum number of90 degree elbows per side wall
installation is three (3).
• For RFSDV34 models the maximum horizontal run off a
minimum 12" vertical rise is 3'. (See Fig. 15)
If a 90 degree elbow is used in the horizontal vent run
(level height maintained) the maximum horizontal vent
length is reduced by 36 inches, (Fig. 14). This does not
apply if the 90 degree elbows are used to increase or
redirect a vertical rise (Fig. I6).
Example: According to the chart the maximum horizon-
tal vent length is 20' and if a 90 degree elbow is required
in the horizontal vent it must be reduced to 17'.
In Fig. 14 Dimension A plus B must not be greater
than 17'.
• The maximum number of 45 degree elbows permitted
per side wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be
installed in either the vertical or horizontal run.
For each 45 degree elbow installed in the horizontal run,
the length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by
18" (45cm). This does not apply if the 45 degree elbows
are installed on the vertical part of the vent system.
The maximum number of elbow degrees in a system is
270" (See Fig. 13).

2. From the point of this intersection, draw a vertical line to
the bottom of the graph.
3. Select the indicated dimension, and position the fireplace
in accordance with same.
EXAMPLE A:
!fthe vertical dimension from the floor of the fireplace is 11
feet (335cm) the horizontal run to the face of the outer wall
must not exceed 14 feet (427cm).

BELOW GRADE INSTALLATIONS
When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal
clearances of 12 inches (305mm) above grade level a starter
vent kit is recommended. It allows installation depth of down
to 7 inches (178mm) below grade level. The 7 inches is
measured from the centre of the horizontal vent pipe as it
penetrates through the wall.
A
If venting system is installed below ground, we
recommend a window well with adequate and
properdrainage.
Ensure sidewall venting clearances are observed.

If installing a snorkel a minimum 24" vertical rise is necessary.
The maximum horizontal run with the 24" vertical pipe is 36"
(915mm). This measurement is taken from the collar of the
•eplace to the face of the exterior wall. See the Vent Chart

• 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
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
'>e circumstances present.
Clean glass afterfirst two weeks of operation.
Refer Figure 32.
I. Remove window frame. (See "Window Frame" section)
2. Remove logs from packaging.
A
As with allplastic -these are not toys and
shouldbe kept awayfrom children and
infants.
3. Place rear log (KRI0) on rear bracket (ensure log is seated
properly, leveled and centered to the unit), so it will not
move from side to side and it is firmly positioned on the
bracket.
4. Slip front ember log (KR?) down behind the front deflector.
5. Place front left log (KR8) on top of burner, left side.
Use log's bottom holes to locate it into the left bracket log
