IMPORTANT:

PLEASE REVIEW THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY
Remove any plastic from trim parts before turning the

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 Vermont Castings, Majestic
Products 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 fireplace for at
least ten (10) hours the first time you use it. If the optional
fan kit has been installed, place the fan switch in the
"OFF" position during this time.
