MAINTENANCE
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 exces-
sive lateral runs, too many elbows, and
exterior portions of the system being ex-
posed 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 or
BRASS LOUVRES
The 24 carat gold-plated or brass finish on the
louvres and trim requires little maintenance,
and need only be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO
NOT use abrasive materials or chemical clean-
ers, as they may harm the finish and void the
warranty. Clean any fingerprints off be-
fore turning the unit on.
GOLD-PLATED or
BRASS TRIM
The 24 carat gold plated or brass finish on the
trim requires little maintenance, and need only
be cleaned with a damp cloth. DO NOT use
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 top louvres start to
discolour, check the door gasket seal
and replace if necessary.
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 and 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 diagrams under Log
Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may
create carbon build-up and will
severely alter the unit's perform-
ance which is not covered under
warranty.
FIREBOX PAINT
The interior of the firebox is subject to extremely
high flame temperatures. While the painted
surface is designed for high durability, the
combustion conditions can cause deterioration
of the paint finish. This is not unique to Masport
Gas Fires.
If the surface discolors or blisters simply scuff
any loose paint from the firebox and lightly
respray with Masport high temperature paint.
GLASS GASKET
If the glass gasket requires replacement use
5/8" flat glass gasket for the Bay Front (Part #
936-243) and a tadpole glass gasket for the
Flush Front (Part # 936-155).
DOOR GLASS
Your Masport stove is supplied with high tem-
perature, 5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass that
will withstand the highest heat that your unit will
produce. If your glass requires cleaning, we
recommend using a domestic glass cleaner. Do
not use abrasive materials. Do not clean the
glass when hot.
In the event that you break your glass by impact,
purchase your replacement from an authorized
Masport dealer only, and follow our step-by-
step instructions for replacement.
WARNING: Do not operate the
appliance with the glass panels
removed, cracked or broken.
Replacement of the glass panels
should be done by a licensed or
qualified service person.
Caution: Wear gloves when remov-
ing damaged or broken glass.
Flush Glass Replacement
Remove the flush door front. Remove the 4
glass clips from each corner. Slide in the new
replacement glass. Push the 4 glass clips back
onto the frame. The glass must have gas-
keting around it.
Bay Glass Replacement
1) Remove the door from the unit and place on
a soft surface to prevent scratching.
2) Remove the nuts holding the glass clips in
place and remove.
3) Replace the glass. The glass must have
gasketing around it.
5) Reverse the previous steps, replace the
glass clips and fasten with the nuts but do
not over tighten, as this can break the
glass.
6) Replace door on the stove and check the
seal.
