5) Inspect the flue system annually for blockage and
any signs of deterioration.
6) If the glass is removed for servicing it must be
replaced before operating the appliance.
7) To prevent injury, do not allow anyone who is
unfamiliar with the heater to operate it.
8) Always turn off the gas valve before dismantling
for cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting
instructions. Keep the burner and control
compartment clean by brushing and vacuuming at
least once a year.
9) When cleaning the logs, use a soft clean
paintbrush as they are fragile and easily damaged.
10) Clean the appliance 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.
11) Check the flames of the burner periodically,
making sure they are not lifting or floating. If there
is a problem call an authorised Technician.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Piccolo
No mains voltage electric power supply is required for
the gas control to operate, but a 240-Volt AC supply is
required for the fan. Plug the 3-pin plug into a suitable
receptacle. Do not cut the earth terminal off under any
circumstances.
Sofia & Madrid
Mains voltage electric power supply is required for the
gas control to operate on these models. A 240-Volt AC
power cord is connected to the control system. Plug the
3-pin plug into a suitable receptacle. Do not cut the
earth terminal off under any circumstances.
When connected with 240 volts, all appliances must be
electrically earthed in accordance with local codes.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
FOR MASONRY FIREPLACES
SEE PAGE 10 FOR ZERO CLEARANCE
INSTALLATIONS IN TIMBER STRUCTURES
For safe installation the following matters must be
attended to;
•
The fireplace and chimney must be thoroughly
cleaned and checked for soundness.
•
The chimney must not connect to a solid fuel
burning fireplace.
•
The fireplace recess must have a non-metallic heat
resistant surround (e.g. masonry) extending at least
520mm each side of the recess centreline and up at
least to the mantel above the fireplace recess.
•
A flue pipe or flexiliner must be fitted right up the
chimney to exit at the top and it must be terminated
with an approved gas cowl.
INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
The Masport Gas Fires are installed in the steps as
listed below. Detailed instructions follow.
1) Check the clearances to ensure that the fire will fit
the fireplace recess and that the required
minimum clearances to combustibles will be
maintained. (See page 6) Also check ventilation
requirements.
2) Prepare the fireplace recess. The base of the
fireplace must be levelled, by for example
grouting, to prevent vibration from possible fan
imbalance. The base of the gasfire must be sitting
on this flat surface.
3) Remove the fascia assembly from the firebox
cabinet.
4) Install the flue or flexi-liner in accordance with AG
601 or NZS 5261, refer to instructions provided
with the Masport flue kit.
5) Install the gasfire into the fireplace recess and
connect to the flue system. See page 7.
6) Make the gas connection (see page 7) and the
electrical connection.
7) Re- install the fascia and switches (if any).
8) Remove the glass or window assembly and install
the logs and embers. See pages 8 & 9.
9) Re-install the glass or window assembly. See
pages 8 & 9.
10) Install louvres or grilles.
11) Final check: Before leaving, the installer must
ensure that the appliance is operating correctly.
This includes:
a) Checking the injector pressure. See page 9.
b) Adjusting the primary air, if required, to ensure
that the flame does not deposit carbon on the
components.
c) Ensuring that the flue is drawing correctly.
d) Instructing the customer in the correct operation
of the appliance.
e) Leaving these instructions with the customer.
f) Issuing a certificate of compliance.
