MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always turn off the valve 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 paint brush as the logs are
fragile and easily damaged.
2) Clean glass (never when unit is hot), appli-
ance, 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) Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnec-
tion when servicing controls. Wiring errors
can cause improper and dangerous oper-
ation.
5) The appliance and fluing system must be
inspected before use, and at least annually,
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 but do not
block the pilot.
6) Keep the area near the appliance clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline,
and other flammable vapours and liquids.

7) Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause
condensation and fog the glass. This con-
densation and fog is normal and will disap-
pear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.
Never operate the appliance without
the glass properly secured in place or
with the door open.
8) Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct
flame pattern has three strong blue flames:
1 flowing around the thermopile and 1
around the thermocouple, and 1 flowing
across the rear of the burner (it does not
have to be touching the burner).
Note: If you have an incorrect flame pat-
tern, contact your Masport dealer
for further instructions.

GENERAL FLUE
MAINTENANCE
Conduct an inspection of the fluing system
semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect
as follows:
1) Check the Fluing System for corrosion in
areas that are exposed to the elements.
These will appear as rust spots or streaks,
and in extreme cases, holes. These compo-
nents should be replaced immediately.
2) Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight
down the Flue. Remove any bird nests, or
other foreign material.
3) Check for evidences of excessive conden-
sation, such as water droplets forming in
the inner liner, and subsequently dripping
out the joints, Continuous condensation can
cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and fittings.
It may be caused by having excessive
lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior
portions of the system being exposed to
cold weather.
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections
or fittings have been disturbed, and conse-
quently loosened. Also check mechanical
supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers'
tape for rigidity.
GOLD-PLATED DOORS
The 24 carat gold plated finish on the door
requires little maintenance, and need only be
cleaned with a damp cloth.
abrasive materials or chemical cleaners, as
they may harm the finish and void the warranty.
Clean any fingerprints off before turning the
unit on. If the door starts to discolour,
check the gasket seal and replace if nec-
essary.
DO NOT use
