How To Start A Majestic Gas Fireplace

Writer Ethan Hayes

The entire range of the Majestic model is controlled and ignited by the same knob as the one used to control the temperatures of the stove. Press the knob in and make it turn counterclockwise slightly to “Ignite.” Keep it in this position and you’ll hear gas begin to flow as well as the ignition mechanism will be clicking when it illuminates.

Light a Pilot on a Majestic Fireplace

  1. Find the gas line which enters your home (normally within the basement portion of the house) and ensure that the valve on the inline is set towards the “On” position.
  2. Take a look at carefully the Majestic fireplace and clean any dust that has accumulated on any gas fireplaces.
  3. Find the gas turn-on knob on the opposite side of the fireplace. Turn the knob until it is in the “On” position.

The pilot in a standing position will always be on and with a tiny amount of gas to continuously run even if the gas is shut off. Keep your gas control button in place while holding the end of a lighted match lighter on the other end of the tube. If you’ve done this correctly you should see the pilot light will begin at the moment the flame is within a certain distance. Press the pilot button for around 20 seconds to allow the thermocouple enough time to heat up before releasing it.

When the pilot light is turned off in a fireplace with gas it is an issue when there is a reason to be concerned that the gas flow isn’t interrupted. In most cases the flame pilot is triggered due to a problem with the gas supply. gas. The first thing to look at is the gas valve in your fireplace and make sure that it’s fully open. A properly functioning gas flame will continue to burn with a steady either orange or yellow. If the flame isn’t either orange or yellow, it could be an indication that your gas fireplace requires adjustment or cleaning. This must be handled by a trained technician like those we have here at Kozy Heat.
