with current CSA-B149.1 Installation codes for Gas

Burning Appliances and Equipment. If the unit is being

installed in a mobile home, the installation should

comply with the current CAN/CSA Z 240.4 code. 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 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 or ignition of

clothing.

3. Children should be carefully supervised when in the

same room as your fireplace.

4. Under no circumstances should this fireplace be

modified. Parts removed for servicing should be

replaced prior to operating this fireplace again.

5. Installation and any repairs to this fireplace must be

performed by a qualified installer, service agency or

gas supplier. A professional service person should

be contacted to inspect this fireplace annually.

Make it a practice to have all of your gas fireplaces

checked annually. More frequent cleaning may be

required due to excess lint and dust from carpeting,

bedding materials, etc.

6. Control compartments, burners and air passages in

this fireplace should be kept clean and free of dust

and lint. Make sure 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 com-

bustible materials, gasoline and other flammable

vapor and liquids. This fireplace should not be used

as a drying rack for clothing, nor should Christmas

stocking or decorations be hung in the area of it.

9. Under no circumstances should any solid fuels

Installation & Operating Instructions

IMPORTANT:

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY

(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 fireplace is installed directly on carpeting,

vinyl tile or any combustible material other than

wood, this fireplace must be installed on a metal or

wood panel extending the full width and depth of the

fireplace.

12. This fireplace requires adequate ventilation and

combustion air to operate properly.

13. This fireplace 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 valve be left in the “OFF” position.

This appliance has been approved for aftermar-

ket mobile home installations.

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 Vermont Castings Majestic

Products Company 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.

Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas,

woodburning or oil fired appliances, and the products of

combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals known to

the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects

and other reproductive harm.

Mantels\

The height that a combustible mantel is fitted above the

fireplace is dependent on the depth of the mantel. This

also applies to the distance between the mantel leg (if

fitted) and the fireplace.

For the correct mounting height and widths refer to

Figures 2a, 2b and the Mantel Chart below.

The distances and reference points are not affected by

the fitting of a bay window front trim kit.

Noncombustible mantels and legs may be installed at

any height and width around the appliance.

When using paint or lacquer to finish the mantel,

such paint or lacquer must be heat resistant to

prevent discoloration.

EB-1 Electrical Box

The fireplace, when installed, must be

electrically connected and grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in the

absence 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.

The EB-1 electrical junction box has been supplied

standard on the NV360/580 models to allow for the

easy installation of an optional fan kit.

To connect the EB-1 box to the house electrical supply,

follow the steps below:

1. Unscrew the retaining screw from the EB-1 base

plate (Fig. 7) and remove the EB-1 assembly from

the fireplace.

2. Remove the front cover of the EB-1 box.

3. Remove the plug socket assembly from the EB-1

box.

4. Feed the supply line in from the outside through the

cable clamp. (Fig. 7)

5. Connect black wire of the power supply line to the

brass screw (polarized) of the socket assembly.

Fig. 6 Alternate switch location.

FP1024

The fireplace valve must not be sub-

jected 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.

The gas control is equipped with a captured screw type

pressure test point, therefore it is not necessary to

provide a 1/8" test point up stream of the control.

When using copper or flex connector use only ap-

proved fittings. Always provide a union when using

black iron pipe so the gas line can be easily discon-

nected for burner or fan servicing. (Fig. 4) See gas

specification for pressure details and ratings.

Glass Cleaning

It is 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.

After the first two weeks of operation, it is

recommended the glass be cleaned two or three times

with a non-ammonia household cleaner and warm

water (gas fireplace glass cleaner is recommended).

After initial use glass should be cleaned two or three

times during heating season.

Clean glass after first two weeks of

operation.

Do not clean glass when hot.

Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Do not strike or slam the glass.
