Location of the Pellet Fire
Installation of the Ecoteck Monica Plus Freestanding Wood Pellet Burning Heater should
be undertaken by an experienced installer. Please read the Monica Plus Owners/Technical
Manual thoroughly before commencing installation as failure to follow the instruction could
cause damage to the pellet fire or property.
Positioning the fire:
Generally Monica Plus should be installed in a centrally located position within the home. When
deciding where to position the appliance in your room you need to consider the following:
•
Location of a power source
•
Monica Plus has a convection fan which blows air through tubes in the direction that
the fire faces, for optimum performance this location should be in a large room centrally
located.
•
Monica Plus must be installed on a non-combustible surface. This surface must protrude
150mm from the front of the closed pellet fire door.
•
Monica Plus has been Safety Tested to AS/NZS 2918 using the Davins manufactured
flue. Test Report ARS 05/1185. Installation is not exclusive to these nominated kits,
though alternative flue should only be considered following consultation with your local
council.
•
Please consult page 3 for the required clearances to combustible material also ensure
the position of structural elements near the proposed flue.
•
Because of the positive pressure in the flue, sealing of all 75mm stainless joints is
mandatory – use high temperature Maniseal. Both inner and outer flue joints must be
riveted.
