Masport F38-1 Freestanding Gas Heater
11
Note: If the flue is blocked or has a strong
reverse flow, the thermally actuated safe-
ty 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 spill-
age test, check for the cause of the lack
of draft.
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 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.

INSTALLATION

FRONT DOOR
INSTALLATION
1) Open the two side panels.
2) Slide the door onto the two hinge pins
making sure the two pieces are flush to-
gether. See diagram 1.
4) The latches should already be at the proper
setting. If they are too hard or too easy to
close, you may want to adjust them by
loosening the latch catch. See diagram 3.
5) Remove the blue plastic protective coating
from the glass.

6) Test the seal around the door by placing a
piece of paper between the unit and the
door, close the door and try to pull the paper
out. If it slips out easily, then the door is not
properly sealed. Tighten or loosen the latch.
See diagram 3.
Note: The door latch may require ad-
justment as the door gasket ma-
terial compresses after a few fires
and after glass replacement. Turn
the latch catch inward or out-
ward to loosen or tighten.
3) Close the door. The latch plate must be
centered around the alignment pin. See
diagram 2. If the latch plate interferes with
the corner of the stove you may want to
angle the plate slightly so the door closes
easier.
The thermally activated safety switch
must be manually reset before first star-
tup.
