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 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 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.

GAS LINE INSTALLATION
When purging the gas lines, the front glass must
be removed.
The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear of the
replace 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 properly tinned
3/8” copper tubing, 3/8” rigid pipe or an approved ex con-
nector. Since some municipalities have some additional local
codes it is always best to consult your local authority and the
CAN/CGA-B149 (.1 or .2) installation codes.
For U.S.A. Installations consult the current National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1
Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and
water solution. Do not use an open ame for
leak testing.
The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type pres-
sure test point, therefore it is not necessary to provide a 1/8”
test point up stream of the control.
When using copper or ex connectors use only approved t-
tings. Always provide a union when using black iron pipe
so that the gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or
fan servicing. See the gas specication for pressure details
and ratings.
The replace valve must not be subjected to any test pressures
exceeding 1/2 p.s.i.. Isolate or disconnect this and any other
gas appliance control from the gas line when pressure testing.
REMOTE ON/OFF SWITCH
Installation
1. Thread the wiring through the holes on the end panels of
the appliance. Take care not to cut the wire or insulation
on metal edges. Route the wire to a conveniently located
receptacle box.
2. Attach the wire to the ON/OFF switch and install the
switch into the receptacle box.
3. Connect the other ends of the wire to the gas control valve
as shown in Fig. 6.
Alternative Switch Location
The remote switch can be installed on the front/side of the
access door. Simply mount the switch to the bracket provided
and screw the bracket to either side of the frame, lining up the
screws with the pre-punched holes, Fig. 7.
Do not wire the remote ON/OFF wall switch for
the gas replace to the 120 volt power supply.

CONVERTING THE APPLIANCE
FROM LP TO NATURAL GAS OR
NATURAL GAS TO LP.
The DBT33 is convertible between Natural Gas an LP gas
(and vice-versa) with the use of a conversion kit purchased
seperately, see your dealer for the correct part number.
The DBT36 & 39 can only be converted from
Propane to Natural gas.
The conversion of this appliance from one gas
to another must be carried out by an authorized
service provider.
1. Disconnect power to the unit and shut off the gas supply.
2. Remove the glass/frame assembly.
3. Carefully remove the logs & lava rock material
4. Remove the screws that are holding the burner housing
in place.
5. Remove the burner housing. Depending on the model of
the appliance you may have to loosen the pilot bracket
retaining screw/nut to allow the pilot and bracket assem-
bly to tilt and give enough clearance to remove the burner
housing.
6. Remove the main burner orice and replace it with the
orice supplied in the conversion kit.
7. SIT Top Convertible Pilot
Gently lift off the pilot hood from the pilot. (Do not
remove the spring clip holding the hood in place). Using
a correctly sized Allen key unscrew the exposed orice.
Insert the new orice supplied in the kit, do not over
tighten the orice. Replace the pilot hood ensuring the
index tab aligns with the notch on the hood.
PSE Pilot
Using a suitable wrench on the hexagonal body unscrew
the pilot hood assembly from the pilot, do not twist the
hood itself. Remove the orice and replace it with the
new orice supplied in the kit. Ret the pilot hood
assembly. Do not over-tighten the pilot hood. The hood
must return to its original alignment. Take care not to
damage the thermocouple, thermopile or igniter.
9. SIT 820 NOVA Gas Control Valve (Fig. 9)
a) Using a Torx T20 or slotted screwdriver, remove and
save the three pressure regulator mounting screws (A),
pressure regulator tower (B) and diaphragm (C).
b) Ensure the rubber gasket (D) is properly positioned and
install the new Hi/Lo pressure regulator to the valve using
the new screws (E) supplied with the kit. Tighten screws
securely. (Reference torque - 25 in.Lb).
c) Install the enclosed identication label (F) to the valve
body where it can be easily seen.
Honeywell Gas Control Valve (Fig. 10)
The Honeywell valve tted to this unit is suitable
for use with LP or Natural Gas. It is converted to
the required gas application by the installation of a
colour coded “conversion screw”.
a) Using a suitable small screwdriver lift out the central
regulator cap from the ‘Hi - Lo’ knob on the valve.
b) Unscrew the exposed conversion screw.
c) Insert the new colour coded conversion screw. Do not
over-tighten the screw, it must be nger tight.
d) Ret the regulator cap.
e) Mount the conversion label supplied with the conver-
sion screw to the valve in a visible position.
10. Reassemble the replace in the reverse order, except for
the front glass. Leave this off until the unit has been
checked for leaks and the gas supply line has been bled.
11. After bleeding the gas line and checking for leaks with a
soap solution, replace the front glass. Fire up the unit,
check for ame impingement on the logs, adjusting them
if necessary. Check the manifold and supply pressures
against the appliance specications.
The procedure for converting from one gas to
another is the same regardless of the initial gas
used. The only variation is in the orice sizes
and component part numbers. Your authorized
service provider will ensure the correct parts are
used.

HOW TO USE THE VENT GRAPH
The vent chart should be read in conjunction with the follow-
ing vent installation instructions to determin the relationship of
the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the vent system
1. Determine the height of the centre of the horizontal vent
pipe exiting through the outer wall. Using this dimension
on the Sidewall Vent Graph below, locate the point it
intersects with the slanted graph line.
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 replace
in accordance with same.
EXAMPLE A:
If the vertical dimension from the oor of the re
place is 11' (3.4 m) the horizontal run to the face of
the outer wall must not exceed 14' (4.3 m).
EXAMPLE B:
If the vertical dimension from the oor of the re
place is 7' (214cm), the horizontal run to the face of
the outer wall must not exceed 8-1/2' (2.6 m).
GENERAL INFORMATION ON
ASSEMBLING DV COMPONENTS
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 the
joints with three sheet metal screws, Fig. 16. Wipe off excess
sealant.
CANADIAN INSTALLATIONS:
The venting system must be installed in accordance with the
current CAN/CGA-B149 (.1 or .2) installation code.
U.S.A. INSTALLATIONS:
The venting system must conform to local codes and/or the
current National Fuel Code ANSI Z223.1.
Only venting components manufactured by CFM Majestic Inc.
can be used in Direct Vent systems.
Twist Lock Pipes
When using CFM Majestic Inc. Twist Lock pipe it is not
necessary to use sealant on the joints.
The only areas of the venting system that need to be sealed
with high temperature silicone sealant are the collars on the
replace and termination, and the sliding joint of any tele-
scopic vent section 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 ange on
the female end contacts the external ange on the male end.
It is recommended that you secure the joints with three 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 prior to assembly.
Fig. 16
Fig. 17 NOTE: When a 90º elbow is installed directly to the top
collar, the max. hori zontal run is 3ft. (See Fig. 19).

DBT33/DBT36/DBT39 -12- 10002789/0
VERTICAL SIDEWALL APPLICATIONS
Since it is very important that the venting system
maintain its balance between the combustion air
intake and the ue gas exhaust, certain limita-
tions as to vent congurations apply and must
be strictly adhered to.
The Vent Graph showing the relationship between vertical and
horizontal side wall venting will help to determine the various
dimensions allowable.
Minimum clearance between vent pipes and
combustible materials is one 1"(25mm) on top,
bottom and sides unless otherwise noted.
When vent termination exits through foundations less than 20"
below siding outcrop, the vent pipe must ush up with the
siding.
It is always best to locate the replace in such a way that
minimizes the number of offsets and horizontal vent length.
The horizontal vent run refers to the total length of vent pipe
from the ue collar of the replace to the face of the outer
wall.
Horizontal plane means no vertical rise exists on this portion
of the vent assembly.
• The maximum number of 90º elbows per side wall instal-
lation is three (3).
• If a 90º elbow is tted directly onto the replace ange
the maximum horizontal vent run before the termination
is 36" (914 mm).
• If a 90º elbow is used in the horizontal vent run (level
height maintained) the maximum horizontal vent length is
reduced by 36" (914 mm), (Fig. 20). This does not apply
if the 90º elbows are used to increase or redirect a vertical
rise (Fig. 21).
Example: According to the chart the maximum horizontal
vent length in a system with a 7.5' vertical rise is 20' (6 m)
and if a 90º elbow is required in the horizontal vent it must
be reduced to 17' (5.2 m).
In Fig. 20 Dimension A plus B must not be greater than
17' (5.2 m).
• The maximum number of 45º elbows permitted per side
wall installation is two (2). These elbows can be installed
in either the vertical or horizontal run.
• For each 45º elbow installed in the horizontal run, the
length of the horizontal run MUST be reduced by 18"
(45cm). This does not apply if the 45º elbows are
installed on the vertical part of the vent system.
• The maximum number of elbow degrees in a system is
270º (See Fig. 21).
Example: In Figure 21
Elbow 1 = 90º
Elbow 2 = 45º
Elbow 3 = 45º
Elbow 4 = 90º
Total angular variation = 270º

VERTICAL SIDEWALL INSTALLATIONS
STEP 1
Locate vent opening on the wall. It may be necessary to
rst position the replace and measure to obtain hole location.
Depending on whether the wall is combustible or non-combus-
tible, cut opening to size. (Fig. 22)
(For combustible walls rst frame in opening. Fig. 22).
COMBUSTIBLE WALLS : Cut a 9-3/8"H x 9-3/8"W (240
mm x 240 mm) hole through the exterior wall and frame as
shown (Fig. 22).
NON-COMBUSTIBLE WALLS : Hole opening should be
7.5" (190 mm) in diameter.
STEP 2
Measure wall thickness and cut zero clearance sleeve parts to
proper length (MAXIMUM 12” / 305 mm). Assemble sleeve
and attach to restop with #8 sheet metal screws (supplied).
Install restop assembly (Fig. 23).
Zero clearance sleeve is only required for combustible walls.
STEP 3
Place replace into position. (Fig. 24). Measure the vertical
height (X) required from the base of the ue collars to the
centre of the wall opening.
STEP 4
Apply a bead of silicone to the inner and outer ue collars of
the replace and using three (3) screws attach an appropriate
length of vent to the replace. Follow with the installation of
the inner and outer elbow, again secure joints as described in
the section 'Joining DV Components'.
STEP 5
Measure the horizontal length requirement including a 2" (50
mm) overlap, i.e. from the elbow to the outside wall face plus
2" (50 mm)(or the distance required if installing a second 90º
elbow. (Fig. 25).
Always install horizontal venting on a level plane.

DBT33/DBT36/DBT39 -14- 10002789/0
STEP 6
Use appropriate length of pipe sections - telescopic or xed -
and install the horizontal vent sections. The sections which go
through the wall are packaged with the starter kit, and can be
cut to suit if necessary. (Fig. 26).
Sealing vent pipe and restop gaps with high temperature
sealant will restrict cold air being drawn in around replace.
STEP 7
Apply high temperature sealant to 4" (100 mm) and 7" (175
mm) collars or the termination one inch away from crimped
end. Guide the vent terminations 4" and 7" collars into their
respective vent pipes. Double check that the vent pipes over-
lap the collars by 2" (50 mm). Secure the termination to the
wall with screws provided and caulk around the wall plate
to weatherproof, Fig. 27. As an alternative to screwing the
termination directly to the wall you may also use expanding
plugs or an approved exterior construction adhesive. You may
also attach the termination with screws through the inner body
into the 4" vent pipe however for this method you must extend
the 4" pipe approximately 6" (150 mm) beyond the outer face
of the wall.
Support horizontal pipes every 3' (91 cm) with
metal pipe straps.
Check replace to make sure it is levelled and
properly positioned.
BELOW GRADE INSTALLATIONS
When it is not possible to meet the required vent terminal
clearances of 12" (305mm) above grade level a snorkel vent
kit is recommended. It allows installation depth of down to
7 " (178mm) below grade level. The 7" is measured from
the centre of the horizontal vent pipe as it penetrates through
the wall.
If venting system is installed below ground, we recommend a
window well with adequate and proper drainage.
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
replace (or transition elbow) to the face of the exterior wall.
See the Sidewall Vent Graph for extended horizontal run if the
vertical rise exceeds 24".
1. Establish vent hole through the wall (Fig. 22.
2. Remove soil to a depth of approximately 16" below base
of snorkel. Install drain pipe. Install window well (not
supplied). Rell hole with 12" of coarse gravel leaving a
clearance of approximately 4" below snorkel. (Fig. 28)
3. Install vent system.
4. Ensure a watertight seal is made around the vent pipe
coming through the wall.
5. Apply high temperature sealant caulking (supplied)
around the 4" and 7" snorkel collars.
6. Slide the snorkel into the vent pipes and secure to the
wall.
7. Level the soil so as to maintain a 4" clearance below
snorkel. (Fig. 28)
Fig. 26
Fig. 27

10002789/0 -15- DBT33/DBT36/DBT39
DO NOT BACK FILL AROUND SNORKEL.
A CLEARANCE OF AT LEAST 4” MUST BE
MAINTAINED BETWEEN THE SNORKEL AND
THE SOIL
If the foundation is recessed, use recess brackets (not supplied)
for securing lower portion of the snorkel. Fasten brackets to
wall rst and then secure to snorkel with self-drilling #8 x 1/2
sheet metal screws. It will be necessary to extend the vent
pipes out as far as the protruding wall face (Fig. 29).
VERTICAL THROUGH-THE-ROOF
APPLICATIONS.
This Gas Fireplace has been approved for,
• Vertical installations up to 40' (12 m) in height. Up to
a 10' horizontal vent run can be installed within the vent
system using a maximum of two 90º elbows. (Fig. 30)
• Up to two 45º elbows may be used within the horizontal
run. For each 45º elbow used on the horizontal level the
maximum horizontal length must be reduced by 18".
Example: Maximum horizontal length
0 x 45º elbows = 10'
1 x 45º elbow = 8.5'
2 x 45º elbows = 7'
• A minimum of an 8' vertical rise.
• Two sets of 45º elbow offsets within these vertical instal-
lations. From 0 to a maximum of 8' of vent pipe can be
used between elbows. (Fig. 31)

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GLASS INFORMATION
Only glass approved by CFM Majestic Inc.
should be used on this replace.
• The use of any non-approved replacement glass will void
all product warranties.
• Care must be taken to avoid breakage of the glass.
• Under no circumstances should this appliance be operated
without the front glass in place, or with the glass in a
damaged condition.
• Replacement glass (complete with gasket) is available
your dealer and should only be installed by a licensed
qualied service person.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Burner and Burner Compartment
It is important to keep the burner and the burner compartment
clean. At least once per year the logs and lava rock/ember
material should be removed and the burner compartment vacu-
umed and wiped out. Remove and ret the logs as per the
instructions in this manual.
Always handle the logs with care as they are fragile and may
also be hot if the replace has been in use.
FK24/FK12 Fan Assembly
The fan unit requires periodic cleaning. At least once per
month in the operating season open the lower louvre panels
and wipe or vacuum the area around the fan to remove any
build up of dust or lint.
Brass Trim
Clean the brass trim pieces using a soft cloth lightly dampened
with lemon oil. Do not use water or household cleaners on
any brass components.
LOUVRE REMOVAL
The top louvre panel is removed by lifting the panel vertically
and pulling it away from the appliance, Fig. 39.
The lower access door is hinged along the bottom edge and is
folded down to allow access.
GLASS / FRAME REMOVAL
1. Turn the replace OFF (including the pilot).
2. If the unit has been operating allow time for the compo-
nents to cool.
3. Remove the top louvre assembly.
4. Open the lower louvre panel.
5. Release the two clamps securing the lower edge of the
frame by pulling down on the handles, Fig. 40.
6. Tilt the glass frame out slightly at the bottom, lift the
frame up and away rom the replace.
7. To replace the glass frame reverse the procedure.
GLASS CLEANING
It is necessary to periodically clean the glass.
During start-up condensation, which is normal, forms on the
inside of the glass. This condensation causes lint, dust and
other airborne particles to cling to the glass surface.
Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight lm on the glass.
It is therefore recommended that the glass be cleaned two or
three times with a non-ammonia based household cleaner and
warm water (we recommend gas replace glass cleaner) within
the rst few weeks of operation.
After this initial cleaning process the glass should be cleaned
two or three times during each operating season depending on
the environment in the house.
Clean the glass after the rst two weeks of
operation.
