MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
Any maintenance required accessing the
glass door of the unit must be performed by
an authorized service person.
1) Always unplug the power cord before
cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting
instructions. Keep the burner and control
compartment clean by brushing and vac-
uuming at least once a year. When cleaning
the logs, use a soft clean brush as the logs
are fragile and easily damaged.
2) Clean glass (never when unit is hot), ap-
pliance, 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) 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.
During the annual service call, the burners
should be removed from the burner tray
and cleaned. Replace the embers - do not
block the pilot or burner ports.
5) Keep the area near the appliance clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapours and liquids.
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
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.
