Masport I43 NEW YORK / ULTIMATE Gas Inbuilt Fireplace
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
below.
The smoke should be drawn into the spill tube, if it does not,
leave the unit for a further five minutes and retest as above. If
the smoke is still not drawn into the spill tube, turn the unit off
and check for the cause of the lack of draft. If necessary,
rectify.
For wind turbulent sites, a wind cap may remedy the problem.
Note: The thermally activated safety switch will sense
the change in temperature and shut down the gas
valve in the event of a severe downdraft of air or a
blocked or disconnected flue. The switch acts as a
safety shut-off to prevent a build up of carbon
monoxide. If the flue is blocked or has no "draw",
the switch will automatically shut off the supply of
gas within 5 - 10 minutes. Tampering with the
switch can result in carbon monoxide (CO) poison-

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 then close all doors
and windows in the room.
2) Light the unit and set controls to maximum. Turn fan off.
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, in front of the spill tube. To ensure a valid
test, place a scrap piece of sheet metal (or other non-
combustible material) between the spill tube and the
upper louvre, this will prevent the natural convection of
the unit from interfering with the test. See diagrams
ing and possible death.
If the heater turns off because of lack of draft
during the spillage test, check for the cause and if
necessary, rectify.
The thermally actuated safety switch will automat-
ically reset after it has reduced in temperature.
The switch will continue to cycle until the draft
problem is corrected. DO NOT BYPASS OR DIS-
CONNECT THIS SWITCH.
