1.0 Introduction

Congratulations!

You are the owner of a state-of-the-art Ultra Low Emission Burner “Masport

Mystique”

designed and developed by Glen Dimplex New Zealand. Thank you for purchasing a Masport appliance.

MYSTIQUE

burner is a new generation wood fire, designed to provide you with all the warmth and charm of a fireplace, at the same time have negligible emissions with dramatically reduced impact on the environment.

This model has been approved by Environment Canterbury for installation in all of their clean air zones that have been banned for installation of a conventional wood burner. As it bears the Masport brand, it promises to provide you with economy, safety and efficiency.

To make the most of your appliance, it is important to install, operate and maintain the burner correctly.

Please read this installation and operations manual carefully before installing or operating your MYSTIQUE fire. Please take time to understand the basic principles of this new burner which uses down draft combustion technique. .

Conventional Masport burner has a single firebox and uses triple combustion technique with preheated combustion air. Injection of preheated air jets in different direction bombards the fire bed and creates a very hot turbulent flame to burn most of the polluting particles at around 600~700 o C. Though this is a clean way of burning, some particulate and valuable heat energy escapes to atmosphere through an exhaust flue pipe.

Mystique burner has a firebox with two combustion chambers and a heat exchanger at the rear of these two chambers. Fuel is loaded and ignited in the top combustion chamber where primary combustion takes place.

After initial primary burning, when the overall burner is hot enough and sustained flue draft is created, flue gases are directed downward into bottom combustion chamber by closing the damper in upper section of the firebox. The exhaust gases passing through the red hot embers get re-ignited and burns at temperature higher than 1000 o C. The extreme hot temperatures and turbulence created while passing through ember bed, burns almost all the particulate matter. Further, these hot gases passes through a heat exchanger to extract maximum heat from the exhaust gases and reduces its temperature down to 250 consumption and negligible emissions. o C. Overall, the result of this downdraft combustion technique is very efficient burning with maximum heat with less fuel

3.0 Installation of Mystique

3.1 Unpacking

Remove the shipping wooden crate and packing around the burner. Remove the packers and other loose pieces from the firebox. Remove and discard the screws holding the wood fire to the shipping pallet. Using appropriate lifting equipment, move the burner close to its installation position. Correct lifting procedures should be observed to avoid injury while handling Masport Mystique burner.

3.2 Positioning

Mystique burner is tested to a parallel or corner wall configuration, with minimum distances to heat sensitive materials in accordance with the AS/NZ 2918:2001 safety test standard. Determine the installation position for your Mystique fire only after considering the necessary clearances (See Technical Specifications on page 5 of this manual) and checking the practicability of installing the flue system. No wall or other fixed object should be closer to the front of the Mystique burner than two meters. Regard heat resistant walls with heat sensitive surface treatments (e.g. wallpaper or heat sensitive paints) as heat sensitive walls.

Any proposed deviation from the specified clearances or installation configurations should be discussed with a registered “NZHHA” approved installer or GDNZ’s technical team, thus ensuring that progression thereafter is in accordance with the guidelines in the AS/NZ 2918:2001 test standard and subsequently no compromise on safety.

3.3 Flue Requirements

Standard 4.2M long, 150mm diameter Masport flue systems which has been tested and complies with the current installation standard AS/NZS 2918:2001 Appendix F shall be used for Mystique burner along with the 600mm long, Masport St/St double skin flue shield. Clearances to combustible given on section 2.0 have been determined during safety test which was carried out with standard parallel and corner installation configuration with minimum 2.4m high ceiling.

If a flue exits out of the roof within 3 meters from the ridge, the outer shield shall be not less than 600m above the ridge. If the flue exits further than 3 meters out from the roof ridge then it must project at least 1000mm above roof penetration. This dimension may need increasing to ensure that the top of the flue is at least 3 meters away from the roof or other obstruction when measured horizontally.

The flue pipe shall extend not less than 4.6m above the top of the floor protector. Due to factors such as roof pitch, predominant winds, nearby obstructions (i.e. trees, buildings), and fire placement, flue lengths and flue terminations/cowls may vary. (Refer Figure 3.3.1) Additional components may be required to complete the installation and meet all AS/NZS 2918:2001 guidelines for flue termination.

AS/NZS2918:2001 guidelines should be followed for any deviation to these standard configurations . Detailed instructions for roof penetrations etc. are supplied along with the Masport flue kit. These must be followed closely, including the minimum flue exit height from the top of the floor protector and the minimum exit height above the roofline or roof ridge as detailed in the instructions.

Flue installations other than strictly vertical ones are possible. See AS/NZS 2918:2001 for information on nonvertical flues and flues passing through walls and eaves.

The flue to the flue spigot and all other flue pipe joints should be sealed using firebox cement. Sealing all the joints is important for achieving desired performance of the Mystique burner.

If a flue heat shields other than tested or mentioned in the specifications section 2.0 is used, the installation clearances will be in accordance with the guidelines specified in AS/NZS 2918:2001 for an untested flue installations.

Figure 3.3.1

3.4 Floor Protector Requirements

Mystique burner can be installed on any non-combustible ash floor protector with minimum dimensions given on page 4 if this manual. Please note that the dimensions given are minimum and we recommend to use slightly larger floor protector size.

Please note that the Mystique burner is heavy having total weight of 175 Kg. The floor and the materials used as floor protector should be strong enough to bear this load. The minimum requirements for material to be used as floor protectors on a combustible materials are

- 6mm fibre cement board (e.g. Hardies Tile & Slate Underlay) plus 8mm ceramic tiles on a firm base.

- 4mm mild steel floor protector supplied by Glen Dimplex

- Or

3.5 Seismic Restraint

Mystique burner must be seismically restrained, including the floor protector. The Fig 3.5.1 gives the holes that can be pre-drilled on the floor protector with respect to flue centre.

We recommend a minimum 8mm dynabolt or 8mm coach screws for wooden floors of appropriate length.

Fig. 3.5.1

3.6 Reducing Clearances

The clearances to combustible specified in section 2.0 of this manual, can be safely reduced by following guidelines specified in AS/NZS 2918:2001 table 3.1 & 3.2.

- Heat shield should be made of non-combustible material like metal or masonry.

4.0 Permitted Fuels

The quality of the firewood you burn can have a considerable effect on performance of the MYSTIQUE burner.

Moisture content, tree species and log size are the main factors that affects the emissions that are produced by any wood burner. We recommend that firewood with less than 25% moisture content be used.

If you are cutting your own firewood, only wood that has been air dried in a sheltered, well ventilated stack, preferably for at least 12 months may be burned in MYSTIQUE. To ensure that the wood has a moisture content of 25% or less, store it under a roof or protected against heavy rain. If you purchase firewood, buy firewood that is well seasoned and having moisture level below 25%. We recommend “Good Wood” merchants approved by your local council.

In any case do not burn coal, driftwood, treated or painted wood, highly resinous wood like “Old Man’s

Pine”, laminated plastics, plywood, chipboard, garbage, flammable fluids such as gasoline, naphtha, engine oil, refuse, milk cartons, colored or printed paper. Use of such materials will invalidate your warranty, as this may emit toxic, corrosive and hazardous fumes when burned. They may also cause a build-up of the toxic gas dioxin, which is damaging to the burner and the environment. Most importantly, use of such materials will invalidate your warranty.

4.1 Testing Your Wood Moisture

There are number of ways to confirm if wood is dry enough.

- Wood moisture meter is the best way to check the moisture content of the wood fuel. Press the meter tip into wood firmly into the long side of a split piece of wood and test it. The 15-25% percent moister content is ideal.

- If you are purchasing firewood, ask for dry seasoned wood and get it tested from your wood merchant.

- Dry wood weighs much less than wet wood.

- Wet wood is hard to light and will emit moisture from the ends while burning.

- Two dry pieces banged together sound hollow, wet pieces sound solid and dull.

4.2 Recommended Log Sizes & Fire Starters

- A packet of matches or lighter

- A packet of firelighters. We recommend green firelighters made of wood waste

- Seasoned firewood about 220~250mm long in various sizes o

(2A) For kindling - 15-16 finely split, dry softwood (total 1.0 kg approximately) o

(2B) For intermediate 1 load – 4 pieces (total 1.2 kg, 300 g each approximately) o

(2C) For intermediate 2 load – 4 pieces (total 2.5 kg, 625 g each approximately) o

(2D) For main load – 3 or more pieces (Total 3.0 kg, 1 kg each approximately)

5.0 Operational Sequence (For various steps refer images shown in the bracket)

5.1 Before First Light-up

Make sure that the burner is correctly installed and signed off by an approved installer.

All local council’s wood fire permission or permit requirements have been completed satisfactorily.

Make sure that all the packing material has been removed from both the combustion chambers.

Please note that the special high temperature paint is used in the firebox that will emit some smoke as it cures during initial two to three sessions of running. Ventilate the house during these initial burns. While curing the surface heated paint softens, so do not touch hot surface during this process. Babies, small children, pregnant women, elderly persons, persons subject to pulmonary hypersensitivity and pets should avoid exposure to this smoke. Open doors and windows and use a fan, if necessary. After these initial burns, there should be no smoke.

Make sure there are no burning embers in the top or bottom chamber and ashes have cooled down completely.

Make sure that all panels of the burner are cold

Make sure you have isolated the burner from main electrical power supply.

6.1 Periodic Cleaning & Checks

Depending upon the usage certain parts or areas of the Mystique burner will need cleaning every week or fortnight.

6.1.1 Ash Removal

The downdraft burner creates considerably less ash compared to conventional wood burners. Depending upon usage, ash removal will be required every week or as required.

Open the top combustion chamber door and & remove the top downdraft injector by lifting vertically.

Using a small brush, push accumulated ash into bottom chamber through injector hole.

Open the bottom chamber door using tool provided with the fire.

Insert a metal pan into the lower combustion chamber and using a small brush swap ash on to pan.

Remove the metal pan with ash and empty it.

Carefully put back the downdraft top injector back in place.

Using the brush collect the ash in the bottom chamber into the metal pan and empty it.

6.1.2 Cleaning the Glass

It will be necessary to clean the glass after long usage or when improper fuel is burnt. A dampened paper towel newspaper with cool ash or a non-caustic oven cleaner can be used to clean the glass. Do not scrub using steel products or abrasive material, as it can leave scratch marks on the glass and also damage printing on the glass.

Do not use

6.1.3 Cleaning the Panels

A soft dry cloth is sufficient to clean and maintain the finish of the panels. Household detergent or a damp cloth must not be used as they may damage painted panels or give bad odors while running the fire.

6.1.4 Visual checks

Make sure that the top downdraft injector is sitting properly in the top combustion chamber.

All boards in both the combustion chambers are in place and are in good condition.

Make sure that the ceramic block in the bottom chamber is sitting properly in the bottom combustion chamber. If the holes of this ceramic block appear to be filled with fly ash, remove it from the bottom chamber and dust off using a soft brush.

6.2 Annual Maintenance

In order to meet consent regulation of the Environment Canterbury Regional Council and Glen Dimplex’s warranty terms, Mystique burner must be serviced at least once every 2 years from service agent trained and authorized by Glen Dimplex New

Zealand.

To ensure continuous safety, before each heating season, check the condition of the following items; the flue system, the insulating boards in both the top and the bottom chambers, door seals, damper seal, heat exchanger access plate seal. Replace parts only with genuine GLEN DIMPLEX spare components.

6.2.1 Flue Inspection & Cleaning

Flue system should be checked and be swiped by a professional chimney sweep at least once a year depending upon usage. Do not use chemical chimney cleaners. Check the flue sections nearest the firebox. If a flue system is becoming excessively blocked or needs frequent cleaning, investigate the installation, fuel and operation of the burner with help of a professional.

6.2.2 Cleaning of Combustion Chambers and Overall Firebox

Top, Bottom and the upper gas discharge chambers should be cleaned and checked for wear and tear of various components. Areas and parts to look for are:

Down draft injector

Insulation

Ceramic block in the bottom chamber

Top combustion chamber door seal and tape seal behind glass

Bottom combustion chamber door seal and tape seal behind glass

Damper seal in the upper exhaust chamber

Damper mechanism parts insider the upper gas discharge chamber.

Seal of heat exchanger access plate

Heat tubes

Further sections will describe the step by step process of carrying out servicing of different sections of the firebox and the heat exchanges.

6.2.3 Firebox Lining Boards & Ceramic Block

The vermiculite boards in your Mystique burner are an important part of the burner that helps to achieve clean and efficient burn. These boards are likely to degrade and will need replacement at stage. The life of boards will depend upon usage, type of fuel burnt and care taken during operations and maintenance. The boards in both the top and bottom chambers are held in place by interlocking into one another. The board should be replaced when they are damaged enough that they no longer remain interlocked and cannot perform their intended task.

Refer the following diagram for location and sequence of assembly of boards in each top and bottom combustion chamber.

The ceramic block placed in the bottom combustion chamber helps in minimizing fly ash entering the heat exchanger and the main flue pipes. Placing ceramic block in the correct position is important for achieving clean and efficient burning.

After removing the boards and the ceramic block, remove all the ash from both chambers using brush and pan.

6.2.4 Door and Other Seals

Seals in following areas should be checked and if required will need replacement periodically depending upon usage of the Mystique burner.

Top combustion chamber door seal and tape seal behind glass

Bottom combustion chamber door seal and tape seal behind glass

Damper seal in the upper exhaust chamber

6.2.5 Cleaning the Heat Exchanger

Though the ceramic block arrests most of the fly ash, some fine ash particles will enter heat exchanger and condense suite over the period. The heat exchanger should be checked and cleaned at least once a year depending upon usage.

Open the bottom combustion chamber using tool provided with the fire

Using hands, carefully pull the ceramic block out of its locator bricks at the rear of the chamber.

Dust off the ceramic block and place in a safe place.

Close the bottom combustion chamber door

Remove the rear top exchanger panel

Remove the heat exchanger cover plate

Insert a long wire brush through this opening to clean the outer surfaces of all the tubes.

The ash will fall down at the base of the heat exchanger.

Open the bottom combustion chamber door

Using a metal pan and a small brush collect the ash and dispose of at a safe place.

Close the heat exchanger cover plate and screw back the rear panel

Put ceramic block in the bottom combustion chamber and make sure it is pushed correctly at the rear.

Running your burner with worn or broken parts may result in reduced output, increase in fuel consumption and even can damage the firebox or other vital parts of the burner. We highly recommend frequent visual check of these consumables and other parts of the burner.

Dark, dirty film on door glass

Occasional puffs of

Burning wet or green firewood OR

Leaking door seals.

There could be not enough flue draft due smoke entering the room while fuel loading to insufficient flue height in relation to your roofline, trees or other high obstacles near your home, which can cause a down draft.

The fuel will eventually ignite and when it does so, the build up of gasses will cause a pressurisation forcing smoke into the room.

Ensure only dry seasoned wood is used.

As per new air plan, it is an offence in the

Environment Canterbury region to burn wood with greater than 25% moisture.

Check door and glass seals. Your Masport

Dealer can help with this.

To remove dirty film try following:

1. Burn with damper open for 30 minutes.

2. Try to clean glass with damp news paper and ash when fire has completely cooled down

3. Try using non-caustic oven cleaner

Caution:

Do not scrub using steel products or abrasive material, as it can leave scratch marks on the glass and also damage printing on the glass.

Mystique burner has mechanical interlock that prevents opening of top combustion door unless damper is opened. After switching damper handle from “OPEN” to “CLOSE” position, wait for

30~45 seconds before you open the top combustion chamber door.

This is usually a problem when the wind is coming from one particular direction and requires an experienced installer to remedy, by either extending your flue height or fitting an anti down draft flue cowl.

The down draft flame is pulsing or puffing when damper is switched to ’CLOSE’

This is likely to happen when firing the burner from cold start.

Not enough embers around the downdraft position injector can be another reason.

Open the damper for 1~2 min and close it.

Open the damper and then the top combustion chamber door and using rake, level the ember bed. Particularly leaving good embers around the downdraft injector

Poor performance of the fire or Smoke entering into room due to extreme

This is when the air circulates down from the chimney towards the interior of the house which is at negative pressure. negative pressure in the house

Energy efficiency practices and new building code rules are making our houses more and more airtight. This makes the house’s energy efficient but also makes them more sensitive to negative pressure

To prevent this extreme negative pressure open a window approximately 6mm to allow combustion air enter into the room. when air is exhausted from the house.

This can be because of large extraction fans which cause extreme negative pressure in the house when they are operating.

This negative pressure works against flue system draft. In severe cases the negative pressure in the house overcomes the flue system draft and the appliance begins to spill smoke, especially when a fire is started or when it dies down to coals. Also it can starve fire from air needed resulting in poor performance.
