1. Introduction
This manual is designed for both the technician and the home owner.
Please read this entire manual before installing or operating your Ecoteck Monica Plus Freestanding
Wood Pellet Burning Heater. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, bodily
injury or even death. Any unauthorized modication of the appliance or use of replacement parts not
recommended by the manufacturer is prohibited. All national and local regulations shall be complied
with when installing this appliance. Your local Nature’s Flame dealer will be happy to assist you in
obtaining information with regards to your local building codes and installation restrictions.
1.1 Specications
1.1.1 Rating label Location
Ecoteck Monica Plus Freestanding: The rating label is located on the back of unit.
*Note: Consumption will vary with the type of fuel used.
IMPORTANT: The above values were found during testing and may vary with the fuel type, climate and
installation style.
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.

2. Safety Warnings & Recommendations
Pellet quality is important, please read the following:
Your pellet heater has been designed to burn ¼” (6mm) diameter wood pellets, manufactured to the
AS/NZS 4014.6 only.
DO NOT use this appliance as an incinerator.
DO NOT use unsuitable and non recommended fuels, including liquid fuels as this will void any
warranties stated in the manual.
The performance of your pellet heater is greatly affected by the type and quality of wood pellets being
burned. As the heat output of various quality wood pellets differs, so will the performance and heat
output of the pellet stove.
Caution: It is important to select and use only pellets that are dry and free of dirt or any impurities such
as high salt content. Wood pellets manufactured to the AS/NZS 4014.6 standard are recommended.
Dirty fuel will adversely affect the operation and performance of the unit and will void the warranty. The
Pellet Fuel Industries (PFI) has established standards for wood pellet manufacturers. We recommend
the use of pellets that meet or exceed these standards. Ask your dealer for a recommended pellet type.
2.1 Deciding where to locate your wood pellet burning heater
1. Do not install the pellet heater in a bedroom or room where people sleep.
2. Locate the pellet heater in a large and open room that is centrally located in the house.
This will optimize heat circulation.
3. Check clearances to combustibles (refer page 30).
2.2 Ash
The ash content of the fuel and operation of your stove will directly determine the frequency of cleaning.
The use of high ash fuels may result in the stove needing to be cleaned daily. A low ash fuel may allow
longer intervals between cleaning.
2.3 Clinkering
Clinkers are silica (sand) or other impurities in the fuel that will form a hard mass during the burning
process. This hard mass will block the air ow through the Burn Pot Liner and affect the performance
of the stove. Any fuel, even approved types, may clinker. Check the Burn Pot Liner daily to ensure
that the holes are not blocked with clinkers. If they become blocked, remove the liner (when the unit is
cold) and clean/scrape clinkers out. Clean the holes with a small pointed object if required. Refer to
the section Routine Cleaning and Maintenance.
2.4 Filling Fuel Hopper
Check hopper for foreign objects, then empty the bag of pellets into the hopper. DO NOT OVER FILL
as miscellaneous pellets could smoke if left to rest on an operating heater.
Store pellets at least one metre (1m) away from the pellet stove.
Warning: parts of the appliance, especially the external surfaces, will be hot to touch when in operation
so use due care.

6
2.5 Flammable Liquids
Never use gasoline, gasoline – type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter uid or similar liquids to
start or “freshen up” a re in the heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
2.6 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 nal 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 (specically for pellet stoves, not made from aluminum) with the ue. (All ue
joins must be sealed with maniseal exhaust cement).
• The protection grill inside the pellet tank must never be removed.
• There must be sufcient 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 rst 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.

2.7 Operating Instructions
The heater is completely automated and will self-regulate the ignition phase, ve levels of power and
the switching off phase, guaranteeing safe functioning. The burn pot used for combustion allows most
of the ashes produced by the combustion of the pellets to fall into the collection drawer. However,
it is recommended that you check the burn pot every day, as not all pellets have high standards of
quality and could leave residue that is difcult to remove. The glass has special air circulation for self-
cleaning, however, a slight greyish lm cannot be avoided after a few hours of functioning. Pellets with
a diameter of 6mm, manufactured to the AS/NZ4014.6 or higher must be used with the stove.
2.8 Safety Devices
The heater is tted with sophisticated safety systems so that, in the case of breakage of one of the
individual parts or defects in the ue, no damage will be caused to the stove and the room in which it
is installed. In any case, when a problem arises, the pellets stop falling immediately and the switch off
phase is activated. The corresponding alarm will be shown on the display. The details can be seen in
the chapter on the alarms (page 16).
2.9 Responsibility
Nature’s Flame declines all responsibility, both civil and criminal, with the delivery of this manual, for
any accidents deriving from partial or total failure to observe the instructions it contains.
Nature’s Flame declines all responsibility deriving from the improper use of the stove, from its incorrect
use by the user, by unauthorised modications and/or repairs or from the use of spare parts which are
not original. The manufacturer declines all direct civil or criminal responsibility due to:
• Poor maintenance.
• Failure to observe the instructions in the manual.
• Use not compliant with the safety instructions.
• Installation that is not compliant with the regulations in force in the country.
• Installation by personnel who are not qualied or authorized.
• Modications and repairs that are not authorized by the manufacturer.
• Use of spare parts that are not original.
• Exceptional events.
2.10 Spare Parts
Use original spare parts only. Do not wait for the components to be worn before replacing them.
Replace a worn component before it is completely broken to prevent any accidents caused by the
sudden breakage of components. Perform the periodic maintenance checks as described in the
dedicated chapter on Maintenance (page 18).

4. Maintenance and Cleaning
Before carrying out any maintenance take the following precautions:
• Make sure that the re has been turned off, and that the general power supply has been disconnected
(Ensure that the plug is disconnected from the socket, thus avoiding accidental electric shocks).
• Make sure that all parts of the pellet heater are cold.
• Make sure that the ashes have cooled completely.
• Make sure that the general switch is in the zero position (off).
• Always use appropriate tools for maintenance.
• When you have nished re-install all safety guards before using the pellet heater again.
The pellet heater requires little maintenance if quality wood pellets are used which is why we recommend
pellet fuel that is manufactured to the AS/NZS4014.6.
4.1 Cleaning the surfaces
To clean the surfaces on the painted metal parts, use a damp cloth.
Important: the use of aggressive detergents or abrasive cleaners can damage the surfaces of the stove.
4.2 Cleaning the re pot before and after each lighting
You must check that the re pot, where the combustion takes place, is clean and that no waste or
residue blocks the holes, in order to always guarantee excellent combustion of the stove. This will help
avoid possible overheating, which could causes changes in the colour of the paint, as well as failure to
light the stove.
Only a clean re pot can guarantee that the pellet stove will function without problems. During functioning,
deposits may be formed, which have to be immediately eliminated. It is easy to see when the re pot
has to be cleaned! It only needs a glimpse, each day, before switching on. For minor cleaning, it can be
left in the stove, but if the residue is difcult to remove, it has to be extracted from its housing and the
waste scraped out.
The residue of ash depends on the quality of pellets used.
Important: even with a new batch of pellets, although using the same brand, there may be differences
during combustion and therefore they may burn more or less cleanly.
Correct daily cleaning will allow the pellet heater to burn properly with high performance avoiding
problems in the long term which could require the intervention of a technician to repair the pellet heater.

4.3 Cleaning the FIREX 600
All Ecoteck products have a combustion chamber made with FIREX 600, a material based on
vermiculite, the result of research and development by Ecoteck. The main features of FIREX 600 is
its resistant to heat, its lightness and its excellent insulating capacities, which improve the combustion
and performance of the stove. During combustion, FIREX 600 turns white, due to an effect called
PYROLYSIS, making the ame clear and shining. If the combustion is regulated in an optimal way, the
FIREX 600 interior always remains clean and white.
The appearance and condition of the FIREX 600 is therefore an indicator of whether the combustion is
good or not.

Firex 600 does not require special maintenance, it only has to be dusted with a brush to remove the ash
that is deposited during combustion.
Abrasive sponges to clean the most resistant waste should not be used as they could compromise the
thickness of the FIREX600 panel, creating critical points of breakage.
The tube of the vacuum cleaner should not be used in direct contact with FIREX 600.
Wet cloths should not be used to clean FIREX 600.
FIREX 600 is resistant to heat but not to knocks; handle with care if moved.
FIREX 600 may show a slight abrasion after a few hours of functioning, this is perfectly normal as the
ame creates microgrooves in the panel without compromising it. The duration of FIREX 600 depends
only on how maintenance is carried out.
The pellet stove is a generator of heat with a solid fuel and as such requires servicing by qualied
personnel at least once a year at the start of the season. This maintenance has the purpose of
ascertaining and ensuring the efciency and safety of all the components.
We recommend you draw up an annual contract for maintenance of the product with your
installer/dealer.
4.4 Cleaning the combustion chamber
The stove requires simple but frequent cleaning to guarantee an efcient yield and correct functioning.
Therefore, clean the combustion chamber every day using a drum-type vacuum cleaner, making sure
that the ashes are cold rst.
4.5 Cleaning the Flue
The ue will require cleaning only once each winter providing that the correct fuel is used. You should
arrange for this when booking your annual service with your local Nature’s Flame service agent. Use
a drum type vacuum cleaner only.
