INSTALLATION
Chimney Specifications
Before installing, check and clean your chimney system
thoroughly. If in doubt about its condition, seek expert
advice. Your Masport In-built fireplace is designed for
installation into a masonry fireplace that is constructed
in accordance with the requirements of "The Standard
forChimneys,Fireplaces,Vents,andSolidFuelBurning
Appliance", N.F.P.A. 211, AS 4013 , and NZS 7402 or
the applicable local code requirements.
Masport In-built Fireplaces are designed with a 6"
(150mm) flue but a 7"(180mm) or 8"(200mm) flue liner
or flue connector may be used.
Installation in "0" Clearance Factory
Built Fireplace
The Ontario In-built Fireplace (I2101M) and Vancouver
In-built Fireplace (I3101L) have been tested and
approved to be vented into any approved "0" clearance
Factory Built Fireplace that will accommodate your
Masport unit.
IMPORTANT: If the Ontario or Vancouver unit is
being installed into a factory built fireplace, check
that factory variations of the "0" clearance fireplace
will allow the in-built fireplace to physically fit into
the firebox.
Ifthe factorybuilt fireplace heightis toolow for your
in-built fireplace, you may remove the smoke shelf,
baffle plate and damper plate from the factory built
fireplace as long as these items are saved and are
re-installed in the event that the in-built fireplace is
removed.

INSTALLATION
B) Into a Factory Built Fireplace
1) When installed in a factory built fireplace, a full
stainlesssteelrigidorflexiblefluelinerismandatory,
for both safety and performance purposes. When
a flue or liner is in use, the in-built fireplace is able
to breathe better by allowing a greater draft to be
created. The greater draft can decrease problems
such as, difficult start-ups, smoking out the door,
and dirty glass.
2) In order to position the flue liner, the existing rain
capmust be removed from your chimney system. In
mostcasesthefluedampershouldalsoberemoved
to allow passage of the liner.
3) In most cases opening the existing spark screens
fullyshouldgiveenoughroomforthein-builtfireplace
installation. If it does not, remove and store.
4) If the floor of your fireplace is below the level of the
fireplace opening, adjust the in-built fireplace's
levellingboltstoaccommodatethedifference.When
additional shimming is required, use non-
combustible masonry or steel shims.
5) Measure approximately the alignment of the flue
linerwiththepositionofthesmokeoutletholeonthe
in-built fireplace to check for possible offset. If an
offset is required, use a proper stainless steel unit
available with the chimney liner.
6) Once the above items have been checked, slide
your in-built fireplace into position after first
positioning the flue liner and offset if required. (Re-
install raincap at completion of installation).
A) Into a Masonry Fireplace
The in-built fireplace must be installed as per the
requirements of your local inspection authority. Three
methods of flue connection are acceptable in most
areas, these include:
1) Positive flue connection, where a large blocking
plate and a short connector pipe is used.
2) Direct flue connection, where a smaller blocking
plate and a connector pipe to the first flue liner tile
is used.
3) Fullflue liner, where a stainless steel rigid or flexible
liner pipe is routed from the in-built fireplace outlet
collar to the top of the chimney.
Masport highly recommends the use of a full liner as the
safest installation and provides the most optimum
performance. Your retailer should be able to help you
decide which system would be the best for your
application.
Note: A clean-out door is sometimes required, by
your inspector, to be installed when either
the Positive flue connection or Direct flue
connection method is used.
The use of one of the connection methods listed on this
page not only increases the safety of your in-built
fireplace by directing the hot gases up the flue, but will
also help increase the unit's efficiency and decrease
creosote deposits in the chimney.
When a connected flue or liner is in use, the in-built
fireplace is able to “breathe” better by allowing a greater
draft to be created. The greater draft can decrease
problems such as, difficult start-ups, smoking out the
door, and dirty glass.

C) ALL UNITS
Faceplate and Trim
Prior to sliding your insert into its final position and
attaching the connector or liner pipe, the faceplate must
be installed as follows:
1) Slide the spring nuts (supplied) over the slots in the
insert’sside convection panels (the spring nuts may
needtobesqueezedwithapairofpliersfirst,tohelp
them stay in position).
2) Screw the side faceplate panels, (item A in the
diagram) one to each side.
3) Using the top panel (item B in the diagram) as a
gauge, check that the side panels are within
approximately 1/4" of the overall width. If the
difference is greater than this, use the
supplied washers to attain the required
width.
4) The unit may now be slid into final position and
attached to the connection system.
5) Once connection is made, the insulation strips
should be installed between the insert faceplates
and the fireplace face.
6) The faceplate top may now be installed (with
insulation strip behind) by aligning its brackets with
the top flange on the side shields and the angle iron
bar on the insert top.
7) The faceplate trim may be installed to the edge of
thefaceplateat thistime.Topermanentlymountthe
trim, drill two 5/32" diameter holes through the trim
and side panels and screw the trim to the panels
using the gold plated screws provided.
Note:It may be easier to install the insulation,
faceplate top and faceplate trim with the unit pulled
slightly away from the fireplace face. If this is done,
be very careful not to disturb the connector when
shifting the unit to its final position.
8) Now that your insert is installed, check once more
thatalltheclearancesfromtheunittoanycombustible
materials are correct as listed earlier.
.
Floor Protection
Please check to ensure that your floor protection and
hearth will meet the standards for clearance to
combustibles. Your hearth extension must be made
from a non-combustible material.
Firebrick Assembly

Brick Flue Baffle & Secondary Air
Tube Installation
The flue baffle system located in the upper area of the
firebox is removable to make cleaning your chimney
system easier. The brick baffles must be installed prior
to your first fire. Smoke spillage and draft problems
may occur if the baffles are improperly positioned.
Checkthe position of thebrick baffles on aregular basis
as they can be dislodged if too much fuel is forced into
the firebox.
The Vancouver units (F3100L) are shipped with one of
the secondary air tubes loose inside the firebox. This
needs to be installed after the brick baffle are installed.
Follow the directions below.

First Fire
When your installation is completed and inspected, you
are ready for your first fire.
1) Open draft control fully.
2) Openfirebox door andbuild asmall fire usingpaper
and dry kindling, wait a few minutes for a good
updraft in the flue to establish the fire. Leaving the
door slightly open will help your fire start more
rapidly.
CAUTION:Neverleave unitunattendedif dooris
left open. This procedure is for fire start-up
only,asunitmayover-heatifdoorisleftopenfor
too long.
3) With the draft still in the fully open position, add two
or three seasoned logs to your fire. Form a trench
in the ash bed to allow air to reach the rear of the
firebox prior to closing the door.
4) After about 15 to 20 minutes, when your wood has
begun to burn strongly, adjust your draft control
down to keep the fire at a moderate level.
WARNING: Never build a roaring fire in a cold
stove. Always warm your stove up slowly!
5) Oncea bed ofcoals has beenestablished, youmay
adjustthedraftcontroltoalowsettingtooperatethe
unit in its most efficient mode.
6) Duringthefirstcoupleofhours,keepthecombustion
rate at a moderate level and avoid a large fire until
the paint is cured. Only then can you operate the in-
built fireplace at its maximum setting, and only after
the metal has been warmed.
7) For the first few hours, the in-built fireplace will give
off an odor from the paint. This is to be expected as
the high temperature paint becomes seasoned.
Windowsand/ordoorsshouldbeleftopentoprovide
adequate ventilation while this temporary condition
exists. Burning the in-built fireplace at a very high
temperature the first few times may damage the
paint. Burn fires at a moderate level the first few
days.
8) Do not place anything on the in-built fireplace top
duringthecuringprocess.Thismayresultindamage
to your paint finish.
9) During the first few hours it may be more difficult to
start the fire. As you dry out your fire brick and your
masonry flue (if applicable), your draft will increase.
10) For those units installed at higher elevations or into
sub-standardmasonryfireplaces,draftingproblems
mayoccur.Consultanexperienceddealerormason
on methods of increasing your draft.
11) Some cracking and popping noises may be
experienced during the heating up process. These
noises will be minimal when your unit reaches
temperature.
12) Before opening your door to reload, open draft fully
for approximately 10 to 15 seconds until fire has
beenre-established.Thiswillminimizeanysmoking.
13) All fuel burning appliances consume oxygen during
operation. It is important that you supply a source
of fresh air to your unit while burning. A slightly
opened window is sufficient for this purpose.
CAUTION: If the body of your unit (or in the
H2100M flue baffle) starts to glow you are
overfiring. Stop loading fuel immediately and
close the draft control until the glow has
completely subsided.
14) Green or wet wood is not recommended for your
unit. Ifyoumustaddwetorgreenfuel,openthedraft
controlfully until allmoisture has beendispersed by

the draft control may be adjusted to maintain the
fire.
15) If you have been burning your in-built fireplace on a
low draft, use caution when opening the door. After
opening the damper, open the door a crack, and
allow the fire to adjust before fully opening the door.
16) The controls of your unit should not be altered to
increase firing for any reason.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Fan Operation
The fan is to be operated only with the draft control rod
pulled out at least 1/2"(13mm) from the fully closed
position. The fan is not to be operated when the draft
controlrod is in theclosedposition(pushedin). The fully
closed position is the low burn setting.
The fan unit must not be turned on until a fire has been
burning for at least 30 minutes and the unit is hot
enough. As well, after each fuel loading the fan must be
shut off until 30 minutes has elapsed.
To operate fan automatically, push switch on side of fan
housing to "Auto" and second switch to either "High" or
"Low" for fan speed. The automatic temperature sensor
will engage the blower when the unit is at temperature
andwillshutoffthebloweroncethefirehasgoneoutand
the unit has cooled to below a useful heat output range.
To manually operate the fan system, push the first
switch to "Man" and second switch to either "high" or
"Low". Thiswill bypassthesensingdevice andallowfull
control of the fan. Switching from "Auto" to "Manual" or
"High" to "Low" may be done at any time.
Ash Disposal
During constant use, ashes should be removed every
fewdays.Pleasetakecaretopreventthebuild-upofash
aroundthestart-upairhousinglocatedinsidethefirebox,
under the loading door lip.
DO NOT ALLOW ASHES TO BUILD UP TO THE
LOADING DOORS.
Only remove ashes when the fire has died down. Even
then, expect to find a few hot embers. Always leave 1 to
2 inches of ash in the bottom of the firebox. This helps
in easier starting and a more uniform burn of your fire.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be
placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well
away from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or
otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in
the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled. Other waste should not be placed in the ash
container.
Some Safety Guidelines
1) Never use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuels,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel, or similar liquids to
start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in your heater. Keep all
such liquids well away from the heater while it is in
use.
2) Keepthedoorclosedduring operationandmaintain
all seals in good condition.
3) Do not burn large quantities of paper in your in-built
fireplace.
4) Ifyouhavesmokedetectors,preventsmokespillage
as this may set off a false alarm.
5) Do not overfire your in-built fireplace. If the in-built
fireplace or its flue baffle begin to glow, you are
overfiring. Stop adding fuel and close the draft
control. Overfiring can cause extensive damage to
your stove including warpage and premature steel
corrosion. Overfiring will void your warranty.
6) Donotpermitcreosoteorsootbuildupinthechimney
system. Check and clean chimney at regular
intervals.
7) Your Masport In-built Fireplace can be very hot.
Youmaybeseriouslyburnedifyoutouchthein-built
fireplace while it is operating. Warn children of the
burn hazard.
8) The in-built fireplace consumes air while operating,
provide adequate ventilation with an air duct or
open a window while the in-built fireplace is in use.
9) Do not use grates, irons or other methods for
supporting fuel. Burn directly on the bricks.
10) Openthedraftcontrolfullyfor10to15secondsprior
to slowly opening the door when refuelling the fire.
11) Do not connect your unit to any air distribution duct.
12) Your in-built fireplace should burn dry, standard
firewoodonly. The use of “mill ends” is discouraged
asthisfuelcaneasilyoverheatyourin-builtfireplace.
Evidence of excessive overheating will void your
warranty. As well, a large portion of sawmill waste
is chemically treated lumber, which is illegal to burn
in many areas. Chemically treated fire logs also
must not be burned in your in-built fireplace.

MAINTENANCE
13) Do not store any fuel closer than 2 feet from your
unit.
14) Donot burn salt driftwoodasitwill corrode your unit
and void the warranty.
15) Do not operate the unit if the glass is broken or
missing. Do not operate the unit if the gasketing is
worn out and not sealing the door or the glass.
It is very important to carefully maintain your in-built
fireplace, including burning seasoned wood and
maintaining a clean stove and chimney system. Have
the chimney cleaned before the burning season and as
necessaryduringtheseason,ascreosotedepositsmay
build up rapidly. Moving parts of your in-built fireplace
require no lubrication.
Creosote
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which form creosote when combined
with moisture. The creosote vapors condense in the
relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a
result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
When ignited, this creosote can make an extremely hot
fire.
Removal for Cleaning etc.
Removal of your in-built fireplace for cleaning purposes
is usually not required if a proper installation has been
done. In the event that removal is required, be sure not
to damage any parts needed for re-installation. In most
cases removal and replacement of the baffle system
should allow full access for cleaning.
WARNING: Things to remember in case
of chimney fire:
1) Close draft control
2) Call the Fire Department
Ways to Prevent and
Keep Unit Free of Creosote
1) Burn in-built fireplace with draft control wide open
for about 15 minutes every morning during burning
season. This helps to prevent creosote deposits
within the heating system.
2) Burn in-built fireplace with draft control wide open
for about 10 - 15 minutes every time you add fresh
wood. This allows the wood to achieve the charcoal
stage faster and burns up any wood vapors which
might otherwise be deposited within the system.
3) Only burn seasoned wood! Avoid burning wet or
green wood. Seasoned wood has been dried at
least one year.
4) A small hot fire is preferable to a large smouldering
one that can deposit creosote within the system.
5) Checkthechimneyatleasttwiceamonthduringthe
burning season for creosote build-up.
6) Havechimneysystem and unit cleaned bycompetent
chimney sweeps twice a year during the first year of

MAINTENANCE
use and at least once a year thereafter or when
needed.
Maintenance of Gold-Plated Doors
The gold electroplated finish on the doors requires little
maintenance, and need only be cleaned with a damp
cloth. DO NOT use abrasive materials or chemical
cleaners, as they may harm the finish and void the
warranty.
Door Gasket
If the door gasket requires replacement, 7/8" diameter
material must be used. A proper high temperature
gasket adhesive is required. A gasket repair kit, Part #
846-570 is available from your local Masport dealer.
Door Latch Adjustment
The door latch may require adjustment as the door
gasket material compresses after a few fires. Removal
of the spacer washer, shown in the diagram below, will
allow the latch to be moved closer to the door frame,
causing a tighter seal. Remove and replace the nuts,
washer as shown.
Glass Cleaning
Only clean your glass window when it is cool. Your local
retailercan supply you withspecial glass cleanerif plain
water and a soft cloth does not remove all deposits.
Glass Replacement
Your Masport In-built Fireplace is supplied with 5 mm.
Neoceram ceramic glass that will withstand the highest
heat that your unit will produce. In the event that you
breakyourglassbyimpact-purchaseyourreplacement
from an authorized Masport dealer only, and follow our
step-by-step instructions.
Glass Removal
Allow the stove to cool before removing or replacing
glass. Remove the door from the in-built fireplace and
remove the glass retainer. Use caution when removing
broken glass to prevent injury.
When placing the replacement glass in the door, make
surethat the glass gasketing willproperly seal your unit.
Replace the retainer and tighten securely, but do not

Do not substitute materials. If your glass door does
break, do not continue to use your unit until it has been
replaced.
