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. Use the technique described above for building a fire to take the chill off
the house.
If you do get brown stains on the glass you can remove them with special cleaners for
wood heater glass doors. Do not use abrasives to clean your fireplace's door glass.
The deposits that form on the glass are the best indication of the quality of your fuel and
how well you are doing in operating the fireplace. Your goal should be clear glass with no
brown stains. If you continue to see brown stains on the glass, something about your fuel
and operating procedure needs to be changed. Stains on the glass indicate incomplete
combustion of the wood, which also means more smoke emissions and faster formation of
creosote in the chimney.
If you see brown streaks coming from the edge of the glass, it is time to replace the gasket
around the glass. Visit your fireplace retailer to get the self-adhesive glass gasket and
follow the instructions below for installation.
Do not abuse the glass door by striking or slamming shut. Do not use the fireplace
if the glass is broken.

5.1.3 Door Adjustment

In order for your fireplace to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal
with the firebox. Therefore, the gasket should be inspected periodically to check for a good
seal. The gasket seal may be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment. To
adjust:
1. Remove the split pin by pulling and
turning it using pliers.
