FOR U.S.A Installations follow local codes and/or the current
National Fuel Gas Code. ANSI Z223.1.
Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the
fireplace ON.
FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF
YOUR MAJESTIC FIREPLACE PLEASE NOTE THE
FOLLOWING:
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.
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 cloth-
ing.
It is not unusual for your Majestic gas fireplace to give
off some odour 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.
3. Children should be carefully supervised when they
are in the same room as your fireplace.
ItisrecommendedthatyouburnyourMajesticfireplace
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.
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 should be
carried out by a qualified service person. A profes-
sional service person should be contacted to inspect
this fireplace annually. Make it a practice to have all
of your gas fireplaces checked annually. More fre-
quent cleaning may be required due to excess lint
and dust from carpeting, bedding material, etc.
6. Control compartments, burners and air passages in
this fireplace should be kept clean and free of dust
and lint. Make sure that the gas valve and pilot light
are turned off before you attempt to clean this fire-

The gas pipeline can be brought in through the rear of the
fireplaceaswellasthebottom. Knockoutsareprovidedon
the bottom behind the valve to allow for the gas pipe
installation and testing of any gas connection. It is most
convenient to bring the gas line in from the rear right
side of the valve, as this allows fan installation or
removal without disconnecting the gas line.
The gas line connection can be made with
properly tinned 3/8" copper tubing, 3/8" rigid
pipe or an approved flex connector. Since
some municipalities have some additional
local codes, it is always best to consult your
local authority and the CAN/CGA- B149 (.1 or
.2) installation code.
FOR U.S.A Installations consult the current National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
The installation of your Majestic Fireplace
must conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 latest edition, or CAN
1 B1-149.1 and .2 Installation Code.
(EXCEPTION: Do not derate this appliance
for elevations up to 4,500 ft. (1,370mm).
Maintain the manifold pressure at 3.5 inches
W.C. for Natural Gas and 10 inches W.C. for
LP gas.)
Always check for gas leaks with a mild soap and
water solution. Do not use an open flame for
leak 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.

COMMON FLUE INSTALLATIONS
VENTING INSTRUCTIONS
CANADIAN INSTALLATIONS:
In some areas it is possible to vent more than one gas
fireplace into the same flue. You must ensure that the flue
being shared has the proper capacity to handle both
fireplaces. Check installation codes for venting capacity
information.
The venting system must be installed in accordance with
the current CAN/CGA-B149 (.1 or.2) installation code, and
the authority having jurisdiction.
U.S.A. INSTALLATIONS:
The venting system must be installed in accordance with
the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
As always it is best to check with the authority having
jurisdiction prior to commencement of the installation.

chimney.(Fig. 10) This vent should then be connected to a
4" liner running the full height of the chimney, as it is
mandatory in most jurisdictions that the chimney be lined.
Another option is 4" "B" vent directly off the fireplace(Fig.9
& 11), going up to the chimney liner or up through the roof
if no chimney exists.
A minimum 12 foot vent height is required
to effectively vent this fireplace.

PROPER VENT PERFORMANCE

TheCFMMajesticProductsCompanystronglyrecommends
installing an approved chimney liner in an existing brick
chimney.
Check
Draft
Here
This will maximize the potential draft of the chimney and
lessen the effects of slow chimney start up.
This is important because many homes (including older
renovated ones) have become much tighter with respect to
air exchange (a home breathing). An overly tight home will
create conditions that will affect proper vent performance.
It may be necessary to install some form of makeup air to
the lowest extremities of the home. This will help to ensure
theabovenotedconditionwillnoteffecttheproperoperation
ofthisoranyothercombustionfireplacewithinthedwelling.
Fig. 12
A spillage test must be performed prior to leaving the
fireplace with the customer. Carry this test out in the
following manner.
1) Close all windows and doors in the room; start all
exhaust fans in the house and furnace blower.
2) Light the fireplace and place in operation on high fire.
3) Afterseveralminutes, testwithsmokematchthatthere
is adequate "pull" at the draft hood opening (located on
the sides of the fireplace near back. See Figure 12)
If the flue is blocked (match being blown back into
room) the Vent Safety Switch will automatically shut
down the heater.
4) Should the heater turn off, wait approximately 10-15
minutes to allow for the switch to reset. Check draft
again. If the smoke is not drawn into the draft hood turn
the fireplace off and check the cause of lack of draft,
consult your dealer for expert advice.
VENT SAFETY SYSTEM
This fireplace is equipped with a vent safety shut down
switch. This switch is factory installed, wired and tested.
Checkandmakesuretheswitchandwiresareintheproper
position. The safety switch is heat activated and wired in
series with the pilot system.
Operation of this fireplace when not
connected to a properly installed and
maintained venting system or tampering with
the vent safety shutoff system can result in
carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and possibly
death.
COMBUSTION AIR
It is very important that an adequate 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.

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 that 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

TROUBLE SHOOTING THE GAS CONTROL SYSTEM
SIT 630 GAS VALVE
Note: Before trouble shooting the gas control system, be sure external gas shut off is in the "On" position.
WARNING: BEFORE DOING ANY GAS CONTROL SERVICE WORK, REMOVE GLASS FRONT.
SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Spark ignitor will not light
A. Defective or misaligned
electrode at pilot.
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.
B. Defective ignitor (Push Button)
Push Piezo Ignitor Button. Check for spark at electrode and
pilot. If no spark to pilot, and electrode wire is properly
connected, replace ignitor.
2. Pilot will not stay lit after
carefully following lighting
instructions.
A. Defective pilot generator
thermocouple.
1. Check pilot flame. Must impinge on thermocouple.
Clean and or adjust pilot for maximum flame impingement
on thermocouple.
B. Defective automatic valve
operator.
Turn valve knob to "Pilot". Maintain flow to pilot; millivolt
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.
3. Pilot burning, no gas to
burner, Valve knob "ON".
A. Sensing bulb not in proper
location.
Make sure sensing bulb is located in bracket on the lower
right hand side of fireplace.
B. Temperature sensing bulb
damaged or tubing to bulb
kinked
Carefully examine sensing bulb and capillery tube for
damage. If tubing is kinked, replace gas valve.
4. Frequent pilot outage
problem.
A. Pilot flame may be too low
or blowing (high) causing the
pilot safety to drop out.
Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame
impingement on thermocouple.
B. Possible blockage of the vent
terminal.
Check the vent terminal for blockage.
C. Loose connections to/from the
vent safety switch
Check wires on the vent safety switch at the draft hood relief
opening and at the junction block where the thermocouple
meets the gas valve.

TROUBLE SHOOTING THE GAS CONTROL SYSTEM
SIT NOVA 820 MILLIVOLT VALVE
Note: Before trouble shooting the gas control system, be sure external gas shut off is in the "On" position.
WARNING: BEFORE DOING ANY GAS CONTROL SERVICE WORK, REMOVE GLASS FRONT.
SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Spark ignitor will not light
A. Defective or misaligned
electrode at pilot.
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.
B. Defective ignitor (Push Button)
Push Piezo Ignitor Button. Check for spark at electrode and
pilot. If no spark to pilot, and electrode wire is properly
connected, replace ignitor.
2. Pilot will not stay lit after
carefully following lighting
instructions.
A. Defective pilot generator
(thermocouple), remote wall
switch.
1. Check pilot flame. Must impinge on thermocouple/
thermopile. Note: this pilot burner assembly 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.
B. Defective automatic valve
operator.
Turn valve knob to "Pilot". Maintain flow to pilot; millivolt
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.
3. Pilot burning, no gas to
burner, Valve knob "ON",
Wall Switch "ON".
A. Wall switch or wires
defective.
Check wall switch and wires for proper connections. Jumper
wire across 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.
B. Thermopile may not be
generating sufficient
millivoltage.
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 de-
pressed in pilot position and wall switch "Off". Replace
faulty thermopile if reading is below specified minimum.
C. Plugged burner orifice.
Check burner orifices for debris and remove.
D. Defective automatic valve
operator.
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.
4. Frequent pilot flare outage
problem.
A. Pilot flame may be too low
or blowing (high) causing the
pilot safety to drop out.
Clean and/or adjust pilot flame for maximum flame
impingement on thermopile and thermocouple.
B. Vent safety shutdown.
Check the vent system for blockage. Check all connections
on vent safety switch.
