OPERATING THE MONTECITO ESTATE
FIREPLACE
Fuel - USE SOLID NATURAL WOOD FUEL
ONLY. The Montecito Estate fireplace is
designed to work best when fueled with dry
seasoned natural wood only. Hardwoods are
preferred to softwoods since the energy content
of wood is relative to its density. Hardwoods
will result in a longer burning fire and less fre-
quent refueling. A moisture content of 15% to
20% (seasoned) is recommended. Wood that
has been cut and split and let to dry under a
cover for a period of one year will usually meet
that criteria. Excessively wet wood will be dif-
ficult to burn and will result in lower efficiency,
increased creosoting and deposits on the glass
and in the chimney. Excessively dry wood will
burn well but will also have higher emissions
and shorter burning time.
Do not burn scrap or garbage, treated wood or
wood such as driftwood from the ocean which
has been exposed to salt or other chemicals.
Salt or chemicals can corrode the firebox and
chimney. Do not burn large amounts of paper,
cardboard, Christmas tree branches or build-
ing construction materials. Intense firing with
these materials may overheat the fireplace,
causing damage to the unit, a fire or even
possibly igniting a chimney fire if the chimney
is creosoted.
First Fires
Before using the fireplace make sure to re-
move the plastic wrapping and EPA label on
the door. Remove any glue residue left by the
label using mild soap.
Make sure the doors are properly adjusted,
thus avoiding color change to finish due to
overheating.
The first five or six fires should be small fires
of short duration (about 30 to 60 minutes).
This will help cure the refractory bricks. The
first fires may produce slight smoking and
some odor due to curing of the paint and steel
and the burning of any dust accumulated on
the fireplace which will burn off at this time. It
may set off a smoke alarm located in the same
room. For this reason the room should be well
ventilated for the first few fires.
HEAT OUTPUT
The Montecito Estate fireplace is the largest mem-
ber of the "Dave Lennox Signature Collection"
of high efficiency fireplaces. The heat generated
from its fire is more efficiently captured and
distributed. In spite of the large amount of heat
that the Montecito Estate fireplace can deliver,
it should not replace the main source of heat in
your home. This fireplace will bring extra warmth
and ambiance to your home by distributing its
heat as describe further in the manual.
