MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always turn off the gas valve before
cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting
instructions. Keep the burner and control
compartment clean by brushing and vacu-
uming 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 appliance and door with a damp cloth
(never when unit is hot). Never use an
abrasive cleaner. The glass should be
cleaned with a gas fireplace glass cleaner.
The glass should be cleaned when it
starts looking cloudy.
3) The heater is finished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refinished with
heat resistant paint. Masport uses Stove-
Bright Paint - Metallic Black #6309.
4) 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.
5) 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.
Note: Never operate the appliance with-
out the glass properly secured in
place.
6) Do not use this appliance if any part has
been under water. Immediately call an au-
thorized service technician to inspect the
appliance and to replace nay part of the
control system and any gas control which
has been under water.
7) Verify operation after servicing.
General Flue Maintenance
Conduct an inspection of the flueing system
semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect
as follows:
1) Check the Flueing 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 com-
ponents 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 con-
densation, such as water droplets forming
