OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4) Fully press the ignition button and ignite the
pilot burner by continously depressing the
piezo ignitor. Once the pilot has lit, continue
holding in the ignition button for approxi-
mately 10 seconds to ensure the pilot stays
on. If it goes out, wait 1 minute and repeat
the ignition operations.
Normal Operation:
Depress the ignition button again to ignite the
burner.
Flame Selection:
Press the flame button for the flame adjustment.
For minimum flame, depress the button. For
maximum flame, release the button.
Pilot Position:
Depress the ignition button to turn off the burner
flame. The indicator should show the ignition
symbol.
5) Close valve cover.
6) Install screen door.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
Turn OFF the shut off valve to shut down the pilot
and burner.
Always install screen door during operation to
reduce risk of injury.
FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your stove 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 de-
tectors in the house may go off at this time. Open
a few windows to ventilate the room for a
couple of hours.
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.
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.
Blower 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.
