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 odor 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 burn your Majestic fireplace for a least six (6) hours the first time you use it. If optional fan kit has been installed, place fan in the “OFF” position during this time.

It is very important thaa6tn/0ad3nfinaisdhiengquate air supply is available when the unit is being operated. Since most homes of today are tightly sealed and insulated, additional make-up air is usually necessary.

This fireplace has been designed to operate by drawing air in from the front and outer perimeters of the fireplace. The air provides combustion air ensuring a clean burning flame, dilution air for proper venting, as well as, the air which the fan circulates over the firebox/ heat exchanger system.

Insulating around the fireplace will result in overheating and possible malfunctioning of the circulating fan.

Venting and Installation
Installer must attach red warning plate with screws supplied with the gas fireplace insert to the inside of the firebox of the fireplace into which the gas fireplace insert is installed.
WARNING
This fireplace has been converted for use with gas only and cannot be used for burning wood or solid fuels unless all original parts have been replaced and the fireplace has been re-approved by the authority having jurisdiction.
Cutting any sheet metal parts of the fireplace, in which the gas fireplace insert is to be installed, is prohibited.
If the factory-built fireplace has no gas access hole(s) provided, an access hole of 1¹/” (37.5mm) or less may be drilled through the lower sides or bottom of the firebox in a proper workmanship like manner. This access hole must be plugged with a noncombustible insulation after the gas supply line has been installed.
Ensure there are no obstructions to side air passages of decorative trim once installed on insert.
WARNING
Some factory built fireplaces have air passages on face of fireplace for zero clearance capabilities. All trim kits are designed so as to allow airflow to these passages. Under no circumstances should these passages be blocked.
1. The Majestic gas inserts are designed for recessed installations into solid fuel Masonry or Factory Built Noncombustible fireplaces that have been installed in accordance with the National, Provincial, State and local building codes.
2. Measure for minimum fireplace opening requirement on Page 4 of this installation manual. (If firebrick [refractory] is removed from a factory built fireplace in order to gain minimum gas fireplace insert opening requirements, a minimum of 1/4″ (6.4mm) air space is required between the gas insert fireplace’s outer casing and the inner wall of the factory built fireplace).
3. To assure top performance, safety and efficiency, all inserts must be installed with an approved 4″ diameter flue liner, with exception of RHE25, which should be installed with an approved 3″ liner,as per CSA-B.149 or National Fuel Code ANSI Z223.

8

10000836

Vermont Castings, Majestic Products RHE Natural Vent Insert

4. Flue damper must be fully blocked in the open position or removed for installation.
5. The chimney must be clean and in good working order and constructed of noncombustible materials.
6. Make sure that all chimney cleanouts fit properly so air cannot leak into the chimney.
7. Glass door, screen kits and log grate may be removed for installation of insert into factory built fireplace.
8. Install the insert without the trim frame and make all gas, venting and electrical connections.
9. Install decorative trim frame. Please refer to Frame Assembly and Mounting instructions on this manual.
Common Flue Installations
In some areas it is possible to vent more than one gas fireplace into the same flue. You must ensure the flue being shared has the proper capacity to handle both fireplaces. Check installation codes for venting capacity information.
As always it is best to check with the authority having jurisdiction prior to commencement of the installation.
Liner Installation
Insert liner from top of chimney through the damper opening and attach to 3″ flue collar (for RHE25); 4″ flue collar (for RHE32 & RHE42). For best results use three (3) sheet metal screws and a hose clamp.
For natural draft inserts packing fibreglass insulation around the liner in the damper area will isolate the fireplace cavity from the chimney and prevent drafts and noises during operation.
In case the fireplace opening is only minimum height (17¹/” for RHE25) (20″ for RHE32) (22³/” for RHE42) and access from the front is not possible, remove the flue collar plate – unscrew and slide out from the back of the unit. Now attach the liner to the flue collar, lift up and simply slide flue collar plate back onto the unit top. It is important the plate is completely inserted and the front screw is fastened again in order to line up the flue outlet and the liner properly. (Fig. 10)
If fireplace lintel is wider than 8″ (205mm), the height of the fireplace opening must be 25″ (635mm) to allow for a 90° offset elbow to be installed.
Draft Relief Opening
This insert is equipped with a draft-relief opening which receives its dilution air supply through the opening behind the louvres. These openings must not be obstructed or altered in any way. (Fig. 11)

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 to cling to the glass surface. Also initial paint curing may deposit a slight film on the glass. It is therefore recommended 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 the circumstances present.

Clean glass after first two weeks of operation.
Glass Frame Removal
1. Remove the top louvre. (Refer to “Louvre Removal” section)
2. Open the access door. 3. Remove two (2) machine screws from the bottom of
glass frame. (Fig. 16) 4. Lift up and unhook glass frame at the top.

First Firing
Upon completing the gas line connection, a small amount of air will be in the lines. When first lighting unit with pilot light, it will take a few minutes to purge themselves of air. Once the purging is complete, the pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated in the instruction manual. Subsequent lightings of the heater will not require such purging.
When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight odor for awhile. This is due to paint and lubricants used in the manufacturing process. After each lighting, vapor may condense and fog the glass; this moisture disappears within a few minutes of burning.

WARNING: Before doing any gas control service work, remove glass front.

SYMPTOM

POSSIBLE CAUSES

CORRECTIVE ACTION

1. Spark ignitor will not light 2. Pilot will not stay lit after
carefully following lighting instructions. 3. Pilot burning, no gas to main burner
4. Frequent pilot outage problem.

A. Defective or misaligned electrode at pilot.
B. Defective ignitor (Push Button) A. Defective pilot generator
(thermocouple), remote wall switch.
B. Defective automatic valve
A. Wall switch or wires defective
B. Thermopile may not be generating sufficient millivoltage.
C. Plugged burner orifice. D. Defective automatic valve
operator. A. Pilot flame may be too low
or blowing (high) causing the pilot safety to drop out. B. Possible blockage of the vent terminal.

Using a match, light pilot. If pilot lights, turn off pilot and push the red button again. If pilot will not light – check gap at electrode and pilot- should be 1/8″ to have a strong spark. Push Piezo Ignitor Button. Check for spark at electrode and pilot. If no spark to pilot, and elec trode wire is properly connected, replace ignitor. Check pilot flame. Must impinge on thermo couple/thermopile. Note: this pilot burner assem bly utilizes both-a thermocouple and a thermopile. The thermocouple operates the main valve operation (On and Off). Clean and or adjust pilot for maximum flame impingement on thermopile and thermocouple. Turn valve knob to “Pilot”. Maintain flow to pilot; milivolt meter should read greater than 10 mV. If the reading is okay and the pilot does not stay on, replace the gas valve. Note: An interrupter block (not supplied) must be used to conduct this test. Check wall switch and wires for proper connec tions. Jumper wire accross terminals at wall switch, if burner comes on, replace defective wall switch. If okay, jumper wires across wall switch wires at valve, if burner comes on, wires are faulty or connections are bad. 1. Be sure wire connections from thermopile at
gas valve terminals are tight and thermopile is fully inserted into pilot bracket. 2. One of the wall switch wires may be grounded. Remove wall switch wires from valve terminals if pilot now stays lit, trace wall switch wiring for ground. May be grounded to fireplace or gas supply. 3. Check thermopile with millivolt meter. Take reading at thermopile terminals of gas valve. Should read 250-300 millivolts (minimum 150) while holding valve knob depressed in pilot position and wall switch “Off”. Replace faulty thermopile if reading is below specified minimum. Check burner orifices for debris and remove. Turn valve knob to “On”, place wall switch to “On” millivolt meter should read greater than 100 mV. If the reading is okay and the burner does not come on, replace the gas valve. Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame impingement on thermopile and thermocouple.
Check the vent terminal for blockage (recycling the flue gases)

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 vacuumed and wiped out. Remove and replace 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 fireplace has been in use.
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.
Cleaning the Standing Pilot Control System
The burner and control system consists of:

Check to make sure that burner parts are clean. Visually inspect pilot. Brush or blow away any dust or lint accumulation. If pilot orifice is plugged, disassembly may be required to remove any foreign material from the orifice or tubing.
To obtain proper operation, it is imperative the pilot and burner’s flame characteristics are steady, not lifting or floating.
Typically, the top 1/8″ of the thermopile should be engulfed in the pilot flame. (Page 13, Fig. 25)
Brass Cleaning
Clean the brass trim with a soft clean cloth, slightly dampened with lemon oil and buff with a soft dry cloth. Do not use brass polish or household cleaners as these products will damage the trim. Lemon oil can be obtained at supermarkets or hardware stores.

· main burner

· pilot burner

· gas orifice

· thermopile

· combination millivolt gas valve

Most of these components may require only an occasional checkup and cleaning and some may require adjustment. If repair is necessary, it should be performed by a qualified technician.

In order to properly clean the burner and pilot assembly, turn off the gas to the unit, remove the window frame panel and logs exposing the burner and pilot assembly. Clean all foreign materials from the top of the burner.
