ODGSR Series Outdoor Gas Fireplace

Thank you and Congratulations on your purchase of a MHSC fireplace.

PLEASE READ THE INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

IMPORTANT: Read all instructions and warnings carefully before starting installation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a possible fire hazard and will void the warranty.

IMPORTANT:

PLEASE READ 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 Fireplaces 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.

It is recommended that you burn your fireplace for at least ten (10) continuous hours the first time you use it.

Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas, wood-burning 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.

Gas Line Installation

This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut off valve during any pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa).

If gas piping from the source to the appliance location has not been accomplished, install the required pipe. Consult local plumbing code to assure proper pipe size.

The gas pipeline can be brought in through the right side of the appliance. A knockout is provided to allow for the gas pipe installation and testing of any gas connection.

NOTE: The gas line connection can be made with 3/8″ copper tubing approved for propane or natural gas, 1/2″ rigid pipe or an approved flex connector, then reduced to 3/8″ to the appliance. Because some municipalities have some additional local codes, it is always best to consult your local authority.

U.S.: Consult the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

Canada: CSA – B149.1 installation code.

Test for leaks. Use a 50/50 solution of liquid soap and water to test for leaks at gas fittings and joints. Apply water/soap solution with brush only – do not over apply. NEVER test with an open flame.

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 approved fittings. Always provide a union so that gas line can be easily disconnected for burner or fan servicing.
See gas specification for pressure details and ratings.
NOTE: If flex connector is used, it must be kept inside of the appliance. (Fig. 10)

First Firing

Upon completing the gas line connection, a small amount of air will be trapped in the line. When first lighting the unit with pilot light, it will take a few minutes to purge the trapped air. Once purging is complete, the pilot and burner will light and operate as indicated in the instruction manual. Subsequent lightings of the appliance will not require purging.

When lit for the first time, the appliance will emit a slight odor for an hour or two. 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 in a few minutes of burning.

Flame Adjustment

For units equipped with Hi/Lo valves, flame adjustment is accomplished by rotating the Hi/Lo adjustment knob located near the center of the gas control.

Maintenance

Burner and Burner Compartment

It is important to keep the burner and the burner compartment clean. At least once per year the logs 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.

Cleaning

There are three methods of cleaning the polished stainless steel of your outdoor fireplace;

1. Warm, soapy water – to loosen any dirt film
2. Glass cleaner with ammonia
3. Stainless steel cleaner available at hardware stores

Regardless of which method is used, remember that anything with too much abrasive may dull the finish.

Cleaning the Standing Pilot Control System

The burner and control system consists of:

• main burner
• gas orifice
• pilot burner
• 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 logs exposing the burner and pilot assembly. Clean all foreign materials from the top of the burner. 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 that the pilot and burner’s flame characteristics are steady, not lifting or floating.

Typically, the top 3/8″ or 1/2″ of the thermopile should be engulfed in the pilot flame. (Fig. 16)

To adjust pilot burner, turn pilot screw marked “pilot” for proper flame size.

The air shutter is set at factory no adjustment should be necessary.

MHSC reserves the right to make changes in design, materials, specifications, prices and discontinue colors and products at any time, without notice.
