Appliance Certification
This appliance has been evaluated by PFS by the requirements of ANSI Z21.84-2012 Standard for Decorative Log Sets for Installation in Wood Burning Fireplaces. Installation and the provisions for combustion and ventilation air must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

Gas Supply Connection
A 3/8 in. flared fitting has been installed on the gas valve inlet at the factory. Ensure fittings are of the appropriate size and type on the gas line connection. If the tubing has to be cut to length be sure to use the proper cutting and flaring tool. Also, be careful not to crimp the tubing while bending. If the tubing becomes crimped, do not use it for installation. Gas- resistant pipe compound must be used on all threaded male connections to ensure a tight seal.

Gas Pressure
Proper input pressures are required for optimum appliance performance. Gas line sizing requirements need to be made following NFPA51.

WARNING
Fire Risk Explosion Risk

• High pressure will damage the valve.
• Disconnect the gas supply piping BEFORE pressure testing the gas line at test pressures above 1/2 psig.
• Close the manual shutoff valve BEFORE pressure testing the gas line at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.

WARNING
Fire Risk Explosion Risk Verify inlet pressures.

• High pressure may cause overfire conditions.
• Low pressure may cause an explosion. Install regulator upstream of the valve if line pressure is greater than 1/2 psig.
• Gas Supply Pressure: Minimum inlet gas supply pressure must be 7.0 in. W.C. for natural gas. The gas line supplying the appliance must be sufficient size to furnish the appropriate supply pressure to the appliance while operating in the “High” setting.
• Pressure tap screws must be closed before turning the gas on to the appliance.
• Gas Line Pressure Test: Perform pressure test according to state and local code (if pressure exceeds 1/2 in. psi (3.5 kPa)) before the appliance is connected.

FAQ:

Q: What should I do if I encounter problems with code approvals during installation?
A: Contact the Technical Services Dept. at Hearth & Home Technologies Inc. for clarification and assistance.

Q: How can I find replacement parts for my MAJESTIC ODGO324 gas log set?
A: Shop genuine replacement parts for MAJESTIC ODGO324 through Appliance Factory Parts.

Can I close the glass doors on my fireplace when using my gas logs?

No. The gas log sets are designed for use in fireplaces with all fireplace doors fully opened. Operating your log set with the doors closed will cause overheating, premature failure of valve systems, and will void the warranty of your log set.

What sort of maintenance do gas logs require?

Vented gas logs do not require regular maintenance. However, it is a good idea to have valves, pilots, and gas connections on your set periodically inspected by a hearth professional. Although it is not required maintenance, annually refurbishing the ember material and periodic cleaning of the logs will help maintain your set’s beauty and realism.

Can I burn real wood along with my gas logs?

No. The intense heat of a wood fire will damage your logs, burners, grates, and valves, and will void your warranty.

Will gas logs help my chimney that drafts poorly?

No. Improper or poor drafts will not be helped by gas logs. Please have your chimney inspected by a hearth professional or chimney sweep to determine how to correct the problem.

Can I close my fireplace damper to get more heat from my vented gas log set?

No. Vented gas logs are designed to be operated with the damper in the fully opened position. This gas log set produces carbon monoxide gas. The damper must be removed or clamped fully open using the “C” clamp provided with the set.

My gas logs make a whistling noise when I burn them. What causes this?

This behavior is normally caused by using a corrugated flex connector to hook up the gas log set. We recommend the installer use the supplied aluminum connector rather than the corrugated flexible type.

Can I move or change the position of the logs on my gas log set?

Certified log sets should not be altered - log placement must be exactly as indicated in the set’s installation instructions.

Can I install my gas log set myself?

No. We recommend installation be performed by an NFI-certified hearth professional, HVAC professional, gas fitter, or plumber experienced in gas log installation. Most localities require the installation of any gas appliance to be performed by a professional. Please check with your local inspection agency/department.

What are the gas logs made of?

The gas logs are made of a mixture of pre-fired, expanded clay and a special high-temperature cement, with a wire mesh reinforcement. This combination creates a strong, ceramic material capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, yet also allows molding of the intricate detail found in these gas log sets.

I have a vented log set, and the logs have black soot on them. Is this normal?

Soot build-up on vented gas logs is a normal part of the combustion process. Natural gas log sets generally produce less soot than liquid propane log sets. We recommend any soot build-up be removed periodically using a product designed for gas log soot removal.

Can I add a remote control to my log set after it has been installed?

No. Is the gas log set approved by a testing agency?
