Installation
The stove must be installed and tested by specialised personnel approved by Nature’s Flame. Please
read this manual before installing or operating the stove. If you require further information, please
contact your Nature’s Flame dealer. Installation must be performed by authorized personnel, who must
give the purchaser a declaration of conformity of the appliance, and who will assume all responsibility for
the final installation and consequent correct functioning of the product installed. It is also necessary to
take into consideration all the laws and national, regional, provincial and local regulations present in the
country in which the appliance has been installed. In the event of failure to respect these precautions,
Nature’s Flame declines all responsibility.
IMPORTANT:
•
The place of installation of the heater must comply with local & national regulations. The
stove must be fuelled only with quality pellets manufactured to standard AS/NZS4014.6.
The stove cannot operate with traditional wood.
•
The heater must not be used as an incinerator.
•
Before connecting the heater electrically, the connection of the exhaust spigot must be
completed (specifically for pellet stoves, not made from aluminum) with the flue. (All flue
joins must be sealed with maniseal exhaust cement).
•
The protection grill inside the pellet tank must never be removed.
•
There must be sufficient circulation of air in the room where the stove is installed. Never
open the door of the stove whilst it is functioning.
•
When the heater is operating, the surfaces, the glass, the handle and the pipes become
overheated: during functioning, these parts must only be touched with the adequate
protection.
•
Do not light the heater without having first performed the daily inspection as described in
the MAINTENANCE & CLEANING chapter of this manual (see page 18).
•
Scrupulously follow the maintenance program.
•
Do not turn the heater off by disconnecting the electricity mains supply (use the control
panel or remote control).
•
Do not clean the heater until the structure and the ashes have cooled down completely.
Carry out all operations in maximum safety.
Monica Plus should be installed in a centrally located position within the home. This will assist the
appliance to perform to the level required. As Monica Plus heats space by convecting air through heat
exchange tubes, the heater should face the majority of the area to be heated.
Monica Plus requires a power source to function. This is standard mains feed 240v plug - if this is
unavailable in close proximity a grounded extension lead may be used.
Monica Plus is to be installed on a non-combustible surface which must have a forward projection of a
minimum of 150mm from the glass door.
Please check all clearances to combustibles as listed on page 30 of this Owner’s/Technical manual.
In accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS 2918:2001 Monica Plus must be secured by seismic
restraint.
