Common Questions

SAFETY INSTALLATION

The mantel surface above my fireplace is hot to the touch, is this a fire hazard?

A hot surface above a fireplace is normal. Non-combustible facings, such as natural marble, clay, brick, stone, and ceramic tile, are safe materials with which to surround a factory-built fireplace system. These materials and any combustible trims or mantels, should be installed in accordance with the appliance instructions and local building codes.

Is it safe to mount televisions, electronics or other valuable items above my fireplace?

Majestic does not recommend installing any electronic device above a fireplace. Heat rising from the unit can damage sensitive electronic components found in televisions, computer screens, speakers, etc. as well as some artwork and home décor. Our products are tested for clearance to combustible finishing materials such as drywall and mantel surfaces, but are not tested specifically for use near other household electronics and decorative items.

Our brand new fireplace has smoke coming off the paint, is this normal?

Burn-off on stoves, fireplaces and other hearth products is normal. Always review the owner's manual and consult with your dealer for the proper burn-off time and ways to properly ventilate your home during that period. Expect to burn the appliance continuously, and at the highest settings, for a few hours. Smoke and odors should dissipate in short order.

OWNER INFORMATION

Can I convert my vent free fireplace or log-set to another gas?

No, vent free appliances are not field convertible. They are gas specific.

How do I find the model number of my Majestic product?

Each of our units has a rating plate attached to it that lists both the model and serial number. The rating plate is located in a unique area depending on your appliance type.

For gas fireplace systems it is typically attached near the control valve, behind the lower or side control door.
For gas log-sets, it is attached near the control valve and most installers will slide it underneath the unit to maintain the aesthetic appeal of the set.
Rating plates for gas stoves are either attached to the rear shroud or can be found near the control valve (see location of gas fireplace systems).
Wood-burning fireplaces will have them affixed either to the metal floor of the fireplace (underneath the floor brick) or at the top right of the combustion chamber (above the brick located on the right side).
The rating plate for wood-burning inserts can be found below the firebox, attached to a small cable.
For wood-burning stoves, it is typically attached to the rear casting of the stove.
Rating plates for electric fireplaces can be found either inside the control panel or inside the unit, behind the glass

Our gas appliance worked fine the first few seasons, but now we have to re-light the pilot frequently.

Gas appliances should be serviced on a regular basis, and the best time to service the unit is before the start of the heating season. Common household particles such as dust, dirt, and dander can build up and cause the pilot to drop out. Obstructions to the main burners may cause the appliance to burn inefficiently. A pre-season service call allows your technician to come to your home at a mutually convenient time. Some companies will even discount service calls made before the cold weather arrives. Allowing the appliance to fail during the heating season often means a longer waiting time for your appointment. Visit our page to find a service technician. If there is no one in your area, https://www.nficertified.org can assist you in finding a qualified technician.

REMOTE CONTROLS

What is the length of warranty for Ambient Technologies products?

Ambient Technologies warrants each new remote control against any defects that are due to faulty material or workmanship to the original owner, for a period of five years after the original date of purchase.

How far away will the transmitter communicate with the receiver?

The transmitter will operate the receiver electronically from 1 foot to a maximum of 30 feet. (Once the receiver is mounted inside a pre-fabricated fireplace it reduces the range to 10 feet.)

The operating instructions state “In manual mode, the transmitter will not turn off the appliance even if the room temperature is above the target temperature.” What does this mean?

It means the transmitter is in manual mode and there is no target temperature set, since the transmitter isn’t in auto or auto-p mode. You can still turn off the appliance by sending an off or off/lo signal from the transmitter by pressing the appropriate button.

I’ve noticed when my wife parks her car in the garage our fireplace comes on. Can an outside source influence the operation of my remote control unit?

Yes it’s possible for other electronics using the same RF technology as our products (such as a garage door opener) to influence the operation of the hearth remote. Simply change the dip switch settings in your transmitter & receiver, ensuring that they still match exactly, and that should eliminate the conflict between the two electronics.

I can’t turn off my fireplace with my transmitter. Up until today my remote control unit has operated perfectly. How come I can’t turn it off today?

If it has been operating error free in the past, you’ve probably turned on a switch that is preventing the receiver from receiving the off signal from the transmitter. Typically there are three ways to turn on the burner that will override the remote control unit

Usually there is a rocker switch that is located around your burner which, if in the "ON" position, it will override the remote.
There may be a wall switch that allows you to turn your burner on.
A slide switch on the receiver has been moved to the "ON" position.

Any of these conditions will prevent the transmitter from electronically communicating with the receiver. If so, follow the below to correct each condition

Usually there is a rocker switch that is located around your burner which, if in the "ON" position, it will override the remote. Turn the switch to "OFF."
There may be a wall switch that allows you to turn your burner on. Turn the switch to "OFF."
A slide switch on the receiver has been moved to the "ON" position. Slide the switch on the receiver back to the center or remote position.

Once all switches have been reset to the correct position, the remote control unit should be back in control of your fireplace and the transmitter & receiver should communicate electronically again.

Operating Your Fireplace During a Power Outage

Depending on your particular fireplace model, you can easily operate your hearth even during a power outage.

Products with standing pilots do not require electricity to ignite, and therefore will work during a loss in power.

For newer hearth products with IntelliFire™ or IntelliFire Plus ignition systems, you can still ignite your pilot with the use of each system’s auxiliary battery pack. Batteries are only to be used in the event of a power outage, not as your pilot’s standard power source.

IPI: Requires two D-cell batteries
IPI+: Requires four AA batteries
IPI Touch: Requires four AA batteries

For hearth products using a wireless remote or wall switch, you can operate your product by accessing the control box in the controls below your fireplace or behind your stove. By switching the hearth product to ‘ON’, rather than ‘OFF’ or ‘REMOTE’, your fireplace or stove will operate normally without power.

In the event of a power outage, continue to follow all safety precautions including removing any flammable items from the area surrounding your hearth, and keeping children and pets a safe distance away.

If your hearth appliance has been exposed to water in any level, please contact your local dealer. For your safety, Hearth & Home Technologies products that have been partially or completely exposed to water, whether by flood, hurricane or leaks should not be used.
