Masport F43/F28 Freestanding Gas Heater
INSTALLATION
TEST FOR FLUE SPILLAGE
A "spillage" test must be made before the installed unit is left
with the customer. Follow the procedure below:
1)
Start all exhaust fans in the home and any other gas
appliances. Then close all doors and windows.
2)
Light the unit and set controls to maximum.
3)
After five minutes, test that there is a "pull" on the flue by
placing a smoke match, cigarette or similar device which
gives off smoke, on the edge of the draft diverter. See
diagrams.
The thermally activated safety switch must be manually
reset before first startup.
The smoke should be drawn into the draft diverter. If the smoke
is not drawn into the draft diverter, turn the unit off and check
for the cause of lack of draft.
.
Note:
If the flue is blocked or has a strong reverse flow,
the thermally actuated safety switch mounted in
the draft diverter will automatically shut off the gas
supply within about 10 minutes. If the heater turns
off because of this during the spillage test, check
for the cause of the lack of draft.
