Special • • • • The Montpelier Medium Insert is capable of produc- ing up to 50,000 Btu/hour and heating an area of up to 1,500 sq.ft. However, many factors affect heating performance and can influence the extent to which the Montpelier Medium Insert can heat a given area. A well-insulated home, located in a moderate climate and with the Montpelier Medium Insert located centrally in an open floor plan, will be easier to heat than a drafty home in the far north in which a Montpelier Medium Insert is installed on an exterior wall at the end of a long house. In Fireplace Insert installations, over-sized chimneys can produce less effective results than those that are properly sized, and interior chimneys usually perform better than those located outside the house. Different results may be experienced even in the same installation if you switch from burning good, dry wood to wood that is partially rotted or inadequately seasoned. To compensate for these factors in cold climates, it may be necessary to operate the Montpelier Medium Insert for longer periods of time with the air control set to a higher level more of the time. 12 30004403 Montpelier Medium Insert LookingMaintenance Keep Your Montpelier Medium Insert Adjust the Door Latch Periodically New and Working Its Best The front door of the Montpelier Medium Insert should Care • the Cast Iron Surface i close securely to prevent accidental opening and should close tightly to prevent air from leaking into the An occasional dusting with a dry rag will keep the fire chamber.The door handle will be positioned verti- painted cast iron of your Montpelier Medium Insert look- cally when the door is closed. ing new.
