Installation Instructions
Proposition 65 Warning: Fuels used in gas,

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.
