Masport PG36-3 Gas Inbuilt

NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS OF
GAS APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds
from your gas appliance. This is perfectly nor-
mal due to the fact that there are various gauges
and types of steel used within your appliance.
Listed below are some examples. All are nor-
mal operating sounds and should not be
considered as defects in your appliance.
Blower:
Masport gas appliances use high tech blowers
to push heated air farther into the room. It is not
unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" sound
when ON. This sound will increase or decrease
in volume depending on the speed setting of
your fan speed control.
Burner Tray:
The burner tray is positioned directly under the
burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a
different gauge material from the rest of the
firebox and body. Therefore, the varying thick-
nesses of steel will expand and contract at
slightly different rates which can cause "tick-
ing" and "cracking" sounds. You should also be
aware that as there are temperature changes
within the unit these sounds will likely re-occur.
Again, this is normal for steel fireboxes.
Gas Control Valve:
As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a
dull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal
operation of a gas regulator or valve.
Unit Body/Firebox:
Different types and thicknesses of steel will
expand and contract at different rates resulting
in some "cracking" and "ticking" sounds will be
heard throughout the cycling process.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PILOT ADJUSTMENT
Periodically check the pilot flames. The correct
flame pattern has 3 strong blue flames.
One flowing around the thermocouple, the sec-
ond flowing across the rear of the burner (it
does not have to be touching the burner) and the
third flame flowing tangent to the spark ignitor.
NOTE: If you have an incorrect flame
pattern, contact your Masport dealer for
further instructions.
Rear of Burner
An incorrect flame pattern will have small,
probably yellow flames, not coming into
proper contact with the rear of the burner or
thermopile.
