POSITIONING THE HEATER

Select a dry site on any rigid flooring surface, keeping in mind the following:-

• A central position free of strong draughts will ensure even heat dispersal.

• Check that the flue (if any) and its shielding will be able to pass through the ceiling space

and roof without interfering with any structural timberwork.

• The flue (if any) must terminate above the roof, no less than 500mm clear of any part of

the roof, and at least 1 metre horizontally from any neighbouring structure.

• The minimum specified clearance distances to heat sensitive materials MUST be

maintained at all times, and sufficient room will be needed to facilitate servicing the

heater.

*Note: Clearances are for fire hazard only. For durability of finishes or surfaces you

should contact the relevant manufacturer for their specification. MASPORT accepts no

responsibility for the deterioration of surfaces or finishes.

• Avoid positions where curtains or furniture might accidentally come too close to the

heater.

• Select a location where the gas supply can be installed readily. If a circulating fan is to be

fitted, an electrical outlet will also be required.

INSTALLATION

SHIMS

The glass panels are protected from shipping damage by paper shims fitted between the front and side

glasses. Before lighting the heater, remove the shims.

GAS

Access to the gas connection point is obtained by removing the cover panel on the rear of the cabinet.

(Four screws)

Connection is made to the Boston and Odessa LP models using a 3/8” BSP fitting. The other models

(except Santa Fe flueless) use a 1/2” BSP fitting.

The Santa Fe (flueless) models use a flexible hose and bayonet. The bayonet can be connected to an

AGA approved G 1/2” floor bayonet socket.

In all cases a shut-off valve should be installed directly behind the heater to facilitate isolation of the

heater for servicing.

It is essential to purge all gas lines before making the connection to the heater to eliminate any swarf.

Do not make the connection until the suitability of the flue position has been confirmed.

GAS PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT. All pressure adjustments must be made while the heater is

operating on the ‘HIGH’ setting.

BOSTON AND ODESSA NG. These have a pressure regulator separate from the control valve. The

regulator must be set to 1.0 kPa. The pressure test point is on the side of the regulator and the

adjusting screw is on the top. Slacken the lock-nut and rotate the screw by hand, screwing down to

increase the pressure. Tighten the lock nut after adjusting.

BOSTON AND ODESSA LP. These models have no internal pressure regulator as they run directly on

the 2.71 kPa pressure delivered by the gas bottle regulator.

SANTA FE NG . These have a pressure regulator built into the control valve. The pressure test point is

the top one on the end of the control valve furthest from the gas inlet. Pressure adjustments are

made with the small slotted screw above and slightly to the right of the gas inlet on the control

valve. Adjust to 0.9 kPa.

SANTA FE LP. There is no pressure regulator in the control valve. The correct pressure of 2.71 kPa

should be delivered by the gas bottle regulator. The test point for checking this pressure is the

uppermost one on the end of the appliance valve furthest from the gas inlet.

ELECTRICITY. Plug the fan lead into a 230 volt power outlet and check that the fan operates

correctly on all speeds. The fan switch is under the lid (on the cabinet top) which covers the gas

controls.

FLUE (For Boston and Odessa models)

USE ONLY AN APPROVED FLUE SYSTEM.

1. Stand the heater in its proposed position, taking care to observe the minimum clearances

shown on page 3. The heater does not require a hearth or floor protector.

2. Drop a plumb-bob from the ceiling to hang centrally in the flue socket of the heater and mark

the position on the ceiling. Drive a small nail through at this point and inspect the ceiling and

roof to ensure that the flue and its trim will be at least 25mm clear of any combustible

material. The flue termination requirements stated in ‘Positioning the Heater’ (page 2) will

also need to be met.

3. Cut appropriate holes through the ceiling and roof material and install the flue in accordance

with the instructions accompanying it, taking care to provide any safety clearances specified in

the instructions (usually 25mm between the flue shield and any nearby combustible material).

The installation must meet the requirements of AG 601 or NZS 5261 as appropriate. The top

of the flue must be above the roof, at least 500mm clear of any part of the roof and at least 1

metre horizontally from any neighbouring structure. All flue sections must be securely coupled

to each other.

5. Flash the upper flue at the point of exit through the roof, to prevent water entry, and fit the

flue cap.

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the flue system is operating

correctly. See ‘TEST FIRING’ below.

SEISMIC RESTRAINT

New Zealand regulations require that flued gas heaters be secured to prevent shifting in the event of an

earthquake. This is best done by fastening the heater to the floor right through any floor protector that

may be fitted. Fasten with two screws not less than 12 gauge or the equivalent in coach screws or

toggle fasteners. Anchor the appliance through the holes in the seismic restraint bracket or in the two

angle brackets supplied. The angle brackets attach at each side of the pedestal. If the seismic restraint

bracket is used instead, it can be fastened to the rear of the pedestal either before or after fitting the

anchor screws. The small centreline hole in the bracket will help in pre-positioning it.

TEST FIRING

It is absolutely essential that the installer test fires the heater before leaving the site.

If fitted, open the gas supply valve at the rear of the heater and check all gas joints for leakage using

a leak check solution or an electronic ‘sniffer’, NOT a naked flame.

Carry out the following test firing procedure.

LIGHT THE PILOT:-

NOTE: The pilot can be seen through the hole in the right hand end of the front log.

Boston and Odessa models:-

• Press down on the control knob at the top of the heater and turn it slowly anticlockwise.

The piezo igniter will click as a spark jumps across the terminals at the pilot light. It may

be necessary to repeat this several times before the pilot ignites if there is air in the pilot

light pipeline.

Santa Fe models:-

• Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the ‘PILOT’ position. Hold the control knob down

while pressing the red button of the battery igniter (alongside the control knob). A

continuous spark should appear at the pilot light. It may be necessary to hold the red

button down for some time if there is air in the pilot light pipeline. Note that the Santa Fe

valve incorporates a safety feature which prevents re-lighting the fire within two minutes

of shutting it down.

ONCE THE PILOT IS ALIGHT:-

Boston and Odessa models :-

• Keep holding the control knob down for 15 seconds after ignition. Release the pressure on

the control knob – the pilot should remain alight when the knob rises.

• Turn the control fully anticlockwise to the ‘HIGH’ position and the fire will light at full

heat. There may be a strong smell the first time the logs are fired but this will soon

disappear.

• After ten minutes, set the control to give the desired heat output.

• Hold a smoking taper at the exit of the draught diverter (behind the heater) to verify that

the flue is drawing correctly and that flue gases are not spilling into the room.

• Turn on the fan and check its operation at all three speeds.

Santa Fe models:-

• Release the pressure on the red igniter button but keep holding the control knob down for

15 seconds after ignition. Release the pressure on the control knob – the pilot should

remain alight when the knob rises. On Santa Fe models the control knob is a thermostat

control.

• Turn the control to the desired room temperature setting (1 to 6). If the room is not

already warmer than this setting, the fire will light.

• Check that the fire gradually closes down and then shuts off as the room warms up to the

set temperature. Confirm that the fire re-lights if the temperature set point is raised above

the room temperature.

• Turn on the fan and check its operation at all three speeds.

All models:-

After the fire has been alight for five minutes on ‘HIGH’, hold a smoking taper or match at

the exit of the draught hood (behind the heater) to verify that the flue is drawing correctly

and that flue gases are not spilling into the room.

Drawn in: No spillage Blown out: Spillage/Backdraughting

TURN THE FIRE OFF:-

All models:-

• Turn the control to the ‘PILOT’ position. The pilot will remain alight.

• If the fan is running, turn it off either at the rotary switch or the wall socket.

• To extinguish the pilot light on the Boston and Odessa models, press down on the control

and turn it fully clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position. To extinguish the pilot light on Santa Fe

models, turn the control knob fully clockwise firmly past the ‘click’.

• Repeat the above lighting procedure to confirm rapid pilot ignition and satisfactory burner

control.

In the event that satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, contact the Supplier for further

advice.

SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS

Servicing must be carried out only by authorised personnel.

Minor adjustments can be made with the heater in its normal operating position, but it will be

found more convenient to move the heater away from the wall for major work.

If it is necessary to move the heater:-

• Shut off the gas supply at the valve behind the heater.

• Remove the access plate on the rear of the cabinet.

• Disconnect the gas line at the heater.

Boston and Odessa (flued) models only

• Lift the flue trim about 75mm and support it with a wooden block.

• Slacken any flue clamp, and lift the flue while moving the heater from beneath it.

• Slide the heater away from the wall, supporting the flue and trim on a suitable spacer.

All models

• Keep the heater upright at all times to avoid displacing the logs. The correct gas-log

positions are shown below.

ACCESS POINTS

1. The cabinet rear and side cover plates. These give access to the gas entry connection, the pressure

regulator and the gas control valve (incorporating the piezo igniter module). On the Boston and

Odessa models the filter for the pilot light gas supply is under the large cheese-headed screw on

top of the gas control valve.

2. The fan assembly. Removal gives access to the main burner gas connection and injector. The

correct injector size for each gas is specified on the data plate on a chain at the rear of the cabinet.

The main burner aeration is not adjustable.

3. The glass. See below for removal instructions. Access is then available for the log assembly, the

pilot light, igniter points and flame safety sensor and the main burner.

4. The entire upper cabinet may be removed if access to the heat exchanger is necessary. First

remove the glass. The cabinet is retained by eight screws from underneath and three screws on

each front vertical edge of the firebox.

GLASS REMOVAL AND ASSEMBLY

Carry out these procedures only while the heater is standing upright.

1. Remove the louvre by lifting it upwards and outwards.

2. Remove six fastening screws (Odessa, four screws) securing the top glass trim.

3. Lift the top glass trim clear. Note. On the Boston and Santa Fe models, this will release the top

edges of the three glass pieces. Ensure that they do not drop out.

4. On the Odessa models, lift the glass retainers at each side up and out and lift the glass clear.

5. On the other models, lift the front glass clear, being careful not to dislodge the side glasses. Then

lift each side glass clear. This will reveal a glass sealing rope, a backing strip and a spring at the

rear edge of each side glass.

Backing Strip

6. Assembly is the reverse of the above for Odessa models. For all models, clean the inside surfaces

of the glass and keep fingerprints off them as they are assembled.

7. For Boston and Santa Fe models, first assemble one side glass to the heater. Fit the spring first,

then the backing strip, then the rope and finally the glass.

8. With one side glass in place, the front glass can be fitted. Press the side glass back to compress its

spring so that the front glass can drop into its slot.

9. Hold the two top front corners of the glasses together with a piece of sticky tape to stop them

falling outwards.

10. Fit the second side glass as in 6 above. Once it is pressed back into the rear slot it can swing in

behind the front glass and then drop down into its bottom slot.

11. Replace the top glass trim, fit its fastening screws, remove the sticky tape.

12. For all models, refit the louvre.

PILOT FLAME ADJUSTMENT (Santa Fe (flueless) models are not adjustable)

If the pilot flame aeration needs adjustment, it can be done by rotating the air entry adjusting sleeve

located about half way up the barrel of the pilot burner, using the end of a long small screwdriver.

Access is gained by removing the glass and lifting the front log clear (see above).

MAIN BURNER REMOVAL

1. Remove the glass (see above).

2. Lift the logs out carefully.

3. Remove the pedestal rear cover plate (or fan, if fitted).

4. Disconnect the feed pipe at the main injector (brass elbow).

5. Unscrew the main injector.

6. Inside the firebox, remove the air metering plate (just in front of the burner – three screws) and lift

out the draught deflector. Remove the four burner retaining screws.
