Glass Replacement
Replace glass only with Masport approved parts. Refer to Replacement Parts.towards the back of
this manual. Refer to previous instructions for removal of the damaged glass frame.
Gasket Replacement
The Monterei Gas Heater uses a 'tadpole' type gasket to seal between the glass panel and the
frame. In time, this gasket can become brittle and compressed and should be replaced. New
gasket is available from your dealer. Shut off the gas supply and allow the stove to cool. Wear
safety goggles and a dust mask.
1. Remove the Front, Glass Frame and Glass Panel. Remove the old gasket. Use a razor blade
to separate the glass and gasket from the frame, and to clean the glass of any remaining cement
or bits of gasket. Use a cold chisel if necessary.
2. Determine the correct length of gasket by laying it out around the edge of the glass. Allow an
extra 25-50mm. Mark the spot to be cut. Use a utility knife.
3. Starting on a long edge, remove about 150mm of the protective paper strip and apply the flat
adhesive face of the gasket around the outside-facing edge of the panel. Continue around the
panel, applying about 150mm at a time and being careful to not stretch the material. Do not
overlap the gasket ends.
4. Apply a thin bead of high temperature silicone rubber sealant along the inside corner of the
glass frame, all around the perimeter. Place the flat gasketed side of the glass panel back into the
steel frame. Pinch the rounded inside-facing gasket material to bulk it up.
5. Replace the glass frame and front panel as previously described.
Inspect the Vent System Annually
Have the vent system inspected annually by a qualified technician. Shut off the main gas supply
before inspecting the system. Both the inner exhaust pipe and the outer combustion supply pipe
must be checked to confirm that they are unblocked and in good condition.
