18 Masport I43 NEW YORK / ULTIMATE Gas Inbuilt Fireplace
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.

Note: When the glass is cold and the appliance is lit, it
may cause condensation and fog the glass. This
condensation is normal and will disappear in a 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.
