MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always shut the valve off before cleaning.
For relighting, refer to lighting instructions.
Keep the burner and control compartment
clean by brushing and vacuuming at least
once a year. When cleaning the logs, use
a soft clean brush as the logs are fragile
and easily damaged.
2) Clean glass (never when unit is hot), ap-
pliance, louvres, and door with a damp
cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner. The
gold louvres (and optional gold door) may
be scratched if abrasives are used to
clean them.
The heater is finished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refinished with
heat resistant paint (not with wall paint).
Masport uses StoveBright Paint - Metallic
Black #6309.
3) Make a periodic check of burner for proper
position and condition. Visually check the
flame of the burner periodically, making
sure the flames are steady; not lifting or
floating. If there is a problem, call an author-
ized service person.
4) The appliance and flueing system must be
inspected before use, and at least annual-
ly, by an authorized field service person,
to ensure that the flow of combustion and
ventilation air is not obstructed.
During the annual service call, the burners
should be removed from the burner tray
and cleaned. Replace the embers - do not
block the pilot or burner ports.
5) Keep the area near the appliance clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable
vapours and liquids.

LOG REPLACEMENT
The unit should never be used with broken logs.
Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool
before opening door to carefully remove the
logs. The pilot light generates enough heat to
burn someone. If for any reason a log should
need replacement, you must use the proper
replacement log. The position of these logs
must be as shown in the diagram under Log
Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may
create carbon build-up and will
alter the unit's performance
which is not covered under war-
ranty.
DOOR AND GLASS
GASKET
If the door gasket requires replacement use
7/8" diameter oval door gasket (Part # 650-
920). The glass requires 5/8" flat glass gasket.

turning the unit on.
