make installation easier use a listed flexible connector
and manual shut-off valve if allowed by local building
codes. A 1/2" gas supply pipe must be brought near this
inlet hole.
3) Locate the center point where the flue will pass through
the chimney above the appliance. Move the appliance
into the exact location where it is to be installed. Ensure
that the Inbuilt is level.
4) Thegascontrol valve isprovided with two"IN"and "OUT"
pressure taps, and are easily accessible for a test gauge
connection (see diagram on page 10).
5) Once the gas has been connected ensure that the pilot
valve is in line with burner.

APPLIANCE.
Thisapplianceis designed toattachto a 100mmdiameterflue
or approved aluminum flex liner running the full length of the
chimney. A minimum flue height of 3.6 m is recommended. B-
Vent must be supported by a flue support - supplied by flue
manufacturer. There must be at least 0.9 m of chimney above
the roof level.
Stack the pipe onto your finish support to a minimum height
of 0.9m above the roof penetration, or 0.6m above any point
within 3m measured horizontally. B-Vent chimneys require a
25mm clearance to combustibles.
TheMasport Inbuiltincorporatesits owninternal draftdiverter,
so no additional external draft diverter is required. Periodically
check that the flue is unrestricted and an adequate draft is
presentwhentheunitisinoperation. (Seepage11forspillage
test.)
Before installing flue system ensure that the damper plate is
lockedintotheopenpositionandsecuretopreventthedamper
plate from falling down and crushing the liner.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
DRAFT DIVERTER CONNECTION
1) Attach the flue to the flue collar on the detachable draft
diverter. The flue collar of the appliance will fit inside a
standard 100mm flue and may be fastened directly to the
flue by sheet metal screw.
2) Before pushing the appliance into position inside the
fireplace, align the draft diverter with the guides on the
inbuilt top and push forward. While pushing the unit back
into place keep pulling the draft diverter forward until the
screwholein the spilltube-rearaligns with thescrewhole
in the spill tube-front. (If screw holes do not line up then
draft diverter is not positioned correctly.) Secure the two
spill tubes with a screw.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
AERATION SYSTEM
The burner aeration is factory set but may need adjusting due
to either the local gas supply, air supply or altitude.
Natural Gas: 8mm open
Propane: Fully open (rear) and fully open (front)
An aeration adjustment rod is attached to the air shutter on
each burner. The rod is used to adjust the aeration on the
burner without having to take the appliance apart. This
adjustment is performed by an authorised installer. The
factory setting should be sufficient for most installations.
Note: Any damage due to carboning resulting from im-
properly setting the aeration controls is NOT cov-
ered under warranty.
COMBUSTION & VENTILATION AIR
WARNING: This appliance needs fresh air for safe opera-
tion and must be installed with provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air available to the room in
which it is to be operating.
This appliance installation must conform with local codes or
in the absence of local codes, with AG 601 or NZS 5261.
Air for combustion is drawn in through the front of the unit,
therefore, the front of the unit must be kept clear of any
obstructions.
GAS PRESSURE TEST
Themanifoldpressure iscontrolledbyaregulatorbuiltinto the
gas control, and should be checked at the pressure test point.
Note: To properly check gas pressure, both inlet and
manifold pressures should be checked using the
valve pressure ports on the valve.
1) Make sure the valve is in the off position.
2) Loosen the screw at the outlet pressure test point, turn
captured screw counterclockwise 2 or 3 turns and then
placing tubing to gauge over test point.
3) Attach tubing to a manometer using a 8mm I.D. hose.
4) Light the pilot and turn the valve to "ON" position.
5) The pressure check should be carried out with the unit
burning and the setting should be within the limits spec-
ified on the safety label.
6) When finished reading the manometer, turn off the gas
valve, disconnect the hose and tighten the screw (clock-
wise) with a 3mm wide screwdriver closing torque: 9 in.

FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your heater is part of the paint curing process.
To ensure that the paint is properly cured, it is recommended
that you burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours the first
time you use it with the fan on. When first operated, the unit
will release an odour caused by the curing of the paint, the
burning off of any oils remaining from manufacturing. Smoke
detectors in the house may go off at this time. Open a few
windows to ventilate the room for a couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning after the unit has
cooled down. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THEDO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE

Note: When the glass is cold and the appliance is lit, it
may cause condensation and fog the glass. This
condensationisnormal andwilldisappearina few
minutes as the glass heats up.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE WITHOUT THE
GLASS FRONT IN PLACE.
AUTOMATIC CONVECTION FAN
OPERATION
The fan operates automatically, set the fan switch on the side
of the faceplate to the desired speed. The fan will turn on as
the stove comes up to operating temperature.
After the unit has been turned off and the unit cooled to below
a useful heat output range the fan will shut off automatically.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS OF
GAS APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds from your gas
appliance. This is perfectly normal due to the fact that there
are various gauges and types of steel used within your
appliance. Listed below are some examples. All are normal
operating sounds and should not be considered as defects
in your appliance.
Fan:
Masport gas appliances use high tech fans 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 switch.
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 thickness-
es of steel will expand and contract at slightly different rates
which can cause "ticking" 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.
Fan Thermodisc:
When this thermally activated switch turns ON it will create a
small "clicking" sound. This is the switch contacts closing and
is normal.
Pilot Flame:
While the pilot flame is on it can make a very slight "whisper"
sound.
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.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SERVICE ANNUALLY ONLY BY AN
AUTHORISED PERSON
1) Clean the burner and control compartment of lint and
house dust by brushing and vacuuming at least once
a year. When cleaning the logs, use a soft clean brush
as the logs are fragile and easily damaged.
During the annual service the burners should be
removed from the burner tray and cleaned. Replace
logs and embers as per instructions on page 13.
2) Clean glass (never when unit is hot), appliance, door and
louvreswithadampcloth. Neveruseanabrasive cleaner.
Thegoldlouvres(andoptionalgolddoor)maybescratched
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 Stove Brite Paint - Metallic Black
#6309.
3) Make a periodic check of burner for proper position and
condition. Visually check the flame of the burner period-
ically, making sure the flames are steady;not lifting or
floating. If there is a problem, call an authorised service
person.
4) The appliance and flueing system must be inspected
before use, and at least annually, by an authorised field
service person, to ensure that the flow of combustion and
ventilation air is not obstructed.
5) Keep the area near the appliance clear and free from
combustiblematerials,gasoline,aerosols,andotherflam-
mable vapours and liquids.
WARNING: CHILDREN AND ADULTS SHOULD BE
ALERTED TO THE HAZARDS OF HIGH SURFACE TEM-
PERATURE AND SHOULD STAY AWAY TO AVOID

ANCE.
7) Periodically check the pilot flames. Correct flame pattern
has three strong blue flames: 1 flowing around the
thermopile, 1 flowing across the rear burner and 1
reaching towards the front burner (it does not have to be
touching the burner.
Note: If you have an incorrect flame pattern, contact
your Masport dealer for further instructions.
6) Each time the appliance is lit, it may cause condensation
and fog the glass. This condensation and fog is normal
and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.

screen in
Australia only.
LOG REPLACEMENT
The unit should never be used with broken logs. Turn off the
gas valve and allow the unit to cool before opening door to
carefully remove the logs. The pilot light generates enough
heat to burn someone. If for any reason a log should need
replacement, you must use the proper replacement log. The
position of these logs must be as shown in the diagram under
Log Installation.
