WE RECOMMEND THAT THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR
MASPORT HEATER BE CARRIED OUT BY A SUITABLY
QUALIFIED SPECIALIST INSTALLER.
CAUTION. SURFACES ON RADIANT HEATERS CAN BECOME VERY HOT. IF
CHILDREN OR ELDERLY AND INFIRM PERSONS MIGHT ACCIDENTALLY
TOUCH THE HEATER WHILE IT IS OPERATING, WE RECOMMEND THE
INSTALLATION OF SUITABLE PROTECTIVE GUARDING.
UNPACKING
After removal of the shipping carton, open the door and take out all loose components.
ASSEMBLY
Using the shipping carton to prevent possible paint damage to the floor or floor
coverings, roll the heater gently onto its back. USING THE BOLTS PROVIDED
(NOT THE SHIPPING BOLTS — THESE CAN DAMAGE THE BASE
CASTING), bolt the four legs onto the base of the heater, making sure to fit the bottom
heat shield directly under the heads of the leg bolts. the heat shield is slightly concave
and this side should face the heater base. Fitting this shield is essential if overheating of
the floor below the heater is to be avoided.
If extensions to the top of the Utopia (warming shelves) are being fitted, it will be
convenient to do this now. The extensions are each attached by a support bracket with
four screw holes. Attach the bracket to the underside of the top casting with two screws,
ensuring that the bracket support leg touches the side of the stove. Fit screws through
the other two holes of the bracket into the bottom of the extension. Note that the
extensions are right and left handed. When fitted correctly, the straight back edge of the
extension should align with the back edge of the top of the heater, and the extension
should fit snugly against the top casting.
Raise the heater into its upright position, again taking care not to damage the floor.
Before fitting the firebox ceiling baffle, first locate the four support lugs which will
support it near the top of the firebox. Insert the baffle into the firebox, ensuring that the
curved centre section is at the rear and is facing downwards. Tilt the baffle to about 45•
with its front edge horizontal and uppermost. Keeping it in this orientation, lift it until
its top edge passes behind the two front support lugs and then move it upwards and
toward you until the baffle is resting on the two front lugs. Then swing the baffle up at
the rear until it can slide backward to rest on top of the rear lugs. When correctly fitted,
the baffle will sit at a 20• slope and its rear edge will fit against the rear of the firebox.
The top part of the rear heat shield is shipped upside down inside the top end of the
main section of the rear heat shield. Remove the two screws holding it, rotate it 180•,
and re-fit the screws.
If it is intended to use the top flue exit, fit the flue socket to the top of the heater using
the three screws provided. If the rear outlet is to be used, remove the four screws
holding the rear heat shield assembly, take off the blanking plate covering the rear flue
outlet and fit the flue socket instead. The blanking plate should then be fitted to the top
of the heater. Carefully remove the ‘knock-out’ in the rear heat shield and refit the
shield.
Fit the fuel retaining plate vertically inside the bottom of the door opening with the
angled edge facing away from the firebox at the top.
