1.1 Specications

*Note: Consumption will vary with the type of fuel used.

1.1.2 Clearances to Combustibles
This pellet heater requires oor protection which must be non-combustible, extending beneath the
stove the full width and depth of the unit including (150mm) in front for ember protection.
AS/NZS2918 states that a 300mm forward projecting and 200mm side projecting oor protector must
be used from any door opening extremity as an absolute minimum. Due to the operating nature of the
Monica Plus pellet heater where opening the door causes a loss of vacuum and the re will shut down
completely, meaning the likelihood of any hot embers or burning fuel escaping from the combustion
chamber is extremely minimal, a 150mm forward projecting oor protector will be sufcient.
