    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual Your success with zone heating will depend on several factors, including the correct sizing and location of the fireplace, the size, layout and age of your home and your climate zone. Three-season vacation homes can usually be heated with smaller fireplaces than houses that are heated all winter.

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual Firebrick is mainly composed of silicon dioxide, also known as silica, a product processed from a mined mineral.

  • Page 15: How To Prepare Or Buy Good Firewood

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual 3.2 How to Prepare or Buy Good Firewood 3.2.1 What is Good Firewood? Good firewood has been cut to the correct length for the fireplace, split to a range of sizes and stacked in the open until its moisture content is reduced to 15 to 20 per cent. 3.2.2 Tree Species The tree species the firewood is produced from is less important than its moisture content.

  • Page 16: Piece Size

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual 3.2.4 Piece Size Firewood dries more quickly when it is split. Large unsplit rounds can take years to dry enough to burn. Even when dried, unsplit logs are difficult to ignite because they don’t have the sharp edges where the flames first catch. Logs as small as 3” (75 mm) should be split to encourage drying.

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual 3.3 Manufactured Logs Do not burn manufactured logs made of wax impregnated sawdust or logs with chemical additives. Manufactured logs made of 100% compressed sawdust can be burned, but use caution in the number of these logs burned at one time.

  • Page 19: Lighting Fires

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual 4.3 Lighting Fires Each person who heats with wood develops their own favorite way to light fires. Whatever method you choose, your goal should be to get a hot fire burning quickly. A fire that starts fast produces less smoke and deposits less creosote in the chimney.

  • Page 20: Two Parallel Logs

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual Start by placing three or four full-sized split pieces of dry firewood in the firebox. Next, place 4 or 5 more finely split pieces of firewood (2” to 3” [50 mm to 75 mm] in dia.) on the base logs at right angles (log cabin style).

  • Page 21: Ash Removal

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual When you burn in cycles, you rarely need to open the fireplace’s loading door while the wood is flaming. This is an advantage because there is more chance that smoke will leak from the fireplace when the door is opened as a full fire is burning. IF YOU MUST OPEN THE DOOR WHILE THE FUEL IS FLAMING, OPEN THE AIR CONTROL FULLY FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN UNLATCH AND OPEN THE DOOR SLOWLY.

  • Page 22: Firing Each New Load Hot

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual 4.4.4 Firing Each New Load Hot Place the new load of wood on and behind the charcoal, and not too close to the glass. Close the door and open the air control fully. Leave the air control fully open until the firebox is full of flames, the wood has charred to black and its edges are glowing red.

  • Page 23: Building Different Fires For Different Needs

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual 4.4.6 Building Different Fires for Different Needs Using the air control is not the only way to match the fireplace’s heat output to the heat demand. Your house will need far less heat in October than in January to be kept at a comfortable temperature.
  • Page 24 Monaco Installation and Operation Manual 4.4.6.2 Long Lasting Low Output Fires Sometimes you will want to build a fire to last up to eight hours, but don’t need intense heat. In this case use soft wood species and place the logs compactly in the firebox so the pieces are packed tightly together.

  • Page 25: Maintaining Your Wood Heating System

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual Long burn times are not necessarily an indication of efficient fireplace operation. When you are home during the day and able to tend the fire, it is preferable to build a smaller fire that might provide three or four hours of heating than to fully load the firebox for a much longer burn.

  • Page 26: Door Adjustment

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual In spring and fall when the fireplace is run at lower temperatures, you may see some light brown stains forming, especially at the lower corners of the glass. This indicates that the fire has been smoky and some of the smoke has condensed on the glass. When the weather is mild, you may find that letting the fire go out is better than trying to maintain a continuous fire.

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual 5.1.5 Replacing the Door Gasket It is important to maintain the gasket in good condition. After a year or more of use, the door gasket will compress and become hard, which may allow air to leak past it. You can test the condition of the door gasket by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper.

  • Page 31: Chimney And Chimney Liner Maintenance

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual 5.2 Chimney and Chimney Liner Maintenance 5.2.1 Why Chimney Cleaning is Necessary Wood smoke can condense inside the chimney liner and chimney, forming a combustible deposit called creosote. If creosote is allowed to build up in the venting system it can ignite when a hot fire is burned in the fireplace and a very hot fire can progress to the top of the chimney.

  • Page 32: Cleaning The Chimney

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual 5.2.3 Cleaning the Chimney Chimney cleaning can be a difficult and dangerous job. If you don’t have experience cleaning chimneys, you might want to hire a professional chimney sweep to clean and inspect the system for the first time. After having seen the cleaning process, you can decide if it is a job you would like to take on.

  • Page 52: The Venting System

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual 8 The Venting System 8.1 General The venting system, acts as the engine that drives your wood heating system. Even the best fireplace will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to a suitable chimney.

  • Page 53: Chimney Installation Notes

    Monaco Installation and Operation Manual There are two reasons why the chimney in the house at right will cold backdraft when it is cold outside and there is no fire burning in the fireplace. First, the chimney runs up the outside of the house, so the air in it is colder and denser than the warm air in the house.
  • Page 54 Monaco Installation and Operation Manual 7. Deviations should be avoided whenever possible, especially the most pronounced. Each deviation adds some restriction to the chimney system and may lead to draft problems. 8. If the chimney extends higher than 5 ft. (1.5 m) above its point of contact with the roof, it must be secured using a roof brace.
  • Page 55 Monaco Installation and Operation Manual 12. For installations where more than one chimney is located in the same non-chase or within the same area, we suggest that their terminations be separated by at least 16" (410 mm) horizontally, and 18" (460 mm) vertically. This separation is to prevent smoke migrating from one chimney to another.
