Statutory Regulations (e.g. AS 5601 (AG-601), NZS 5261). Any shortcomings in the appliance and flue installation will be the responsibility of the installer, and Masport Ltd will not be accountable for any such failings or their consequences. The guard is fitted to this appliance (Australia only) to reduce the risk of fire or injury from burns and no part of it should be permanently removed.
Note: Clearances are for fire hazard only. For durability of finishes or surfaces you should contact the relevant manufacturer for their specification. MASPORT accepts no responsibility for the deterioration of surfaces or finishes. • Avoid positions where curtains or furniture might accidentally come too close to the heater.
MINIMUM INSTALLATION CLEARANCES (To heat sensitive surfaces) FLUED APPLIANCES NO FLOOR PROTECTOR (HEARTH) IS REQUIRED Alcove installation not permitted. INSTALLATION SHIMS The glass panels are protected from shipping damage by paper shims fitted between the front and side glasses. Before lighting the heater, remove the shims. Access to the gas connection point is obtained by removing the cover panel on the rear of the cabinet.
The Calgary (flueless) models use a flexible hose and bayonet. The bayonet can be connected to an AGA approved G 1/2” floor bayonet socket. In all cases a shut-off valve should be installed directly behind the heater to facilitate isolation of the heater for servicing. It is essential to purge all gas lines before making the connection to the heater to eliminate any swarf.
SEISMIC RESTRAINT New Zealand regulations require that flued gas heaters be secured to prevent shifting in the event of an earthquake. This is best done by fastening the heater to the floor right through any floor protector that may be fitted. Fasten with two screws not less than 12 gauge or the equivalent in coach screws or toggle fasteners.
