Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting

Frequently Asked Questions – Appliance

ISSUE SOLUTIONS
Condensation on the glass This is a result of gas combustion and temperature

variations. As the fireplace warms, this

condensation will disappear.

Blue flames| This is a result of normal operation and the flames will begin to yellow as the fireplace is allowed to burn for 20 to 40 minutes.


Odor from fireplace

| When first operated, this fireplace may release an odor for the first several hours. This is caused by the curing of the paint and the burning of any oils remaining from manufacturing. The odor may also be released from finishing materials and adhesives used around the fireplace. These circumstances may require additional curing related to the installation environment.


Film on the glass

| This is a normal result of the curing process of the paint and logs. Glass should be cleaned within 3 to 4 hours of initial burning to remove deposits left by oils from the manufacturing process. A non-abrasive cleaner such as a gas fireplace glass cleaner may be necessary. See your dealer.


Metallic noise

| Noise is caused by metal expanding and contracting as it heats up and cools down, similar to the sound produced by a furnace or heating duct. This noise does not affect the operation or longevity of the fireplace.
Is it normal to see the pilot flame burn

continually?

| In an intermittent pilot ignition system (IPI), the pilot flame should turn off when the appliance is turned off. Some optional control systems available with IPI models may allow the pilot flame to remain lit.


Teco-Sil

| There may be some “cracking” noise coming from the fireplace during the first few heating and cooling cycles. This noise is associated with settling rock and some minor cracking of larger pieces of rock. This will lessen over time as the Teco-Sil is conditioned to the heating and cooling temperature changes.
Power Outages

(battery backup)

| This appliance can be operated on battery power in the event of a power outage. To access the battery pack, the decorative front, mesh, and glass assembly must be removed. Refer to Section 3 for more details.
Wall above the appliance feels hot to the touch.| No action is necessary. This appliance ships with a non-combustible material attached. Specifications of the attached non-combustible material are listed in the Installer’s Manual for this appliance.

Contact your dealer for additional information regarding operation and troubleshooting. Visit www.majesticproducts.com to locate a dealer.

The room temperature displayed on the remote is either slow or quick to respond while operating in thermostat mode.| Remote is placed at a very short distance or too far away from the appliance.| Try to keep the remote close to the appliance but not directly in

front of it. The remote acts as the thermostat.

Remote is placed in the path of an air draft or vent.| Move the remote away from the direct path of airflow. The

remote acts as the thermostat.

Flame Modulation| The control system is designed to automatically adjust the flame intensity based on the difference between the desired room temperature, and actual temperature. In thermostat mode, the hearth appliance will start in HI flame, but as the actual temperature approaches the desired set temperature on the remote, the flame intensity will automatically decrease. Automatic flame modulation will result in more control of the temperature and will cause the appliance to cycle OFF/ON less.
The appliance turns OFF the flame

after extended periods of operation

| 9-hour safety shutdown timer| This is normal behavior. The appliance has a safety timer that will automatically turn OFF the flame after nine hours of uninterrupted operation.
The remote displays the following message on-screen: Fan will turn on within 3 minutes| ****

Functioning as intended.

| The appliance has a three-minute delay timer before the fan is turned ON. This allows the air surrounding the appliance to be heated before being pushed into the room.
