It fits seamlessly into home and office environments. It is flicker free and incorporates blue light reduction presets to help maintain visual comfort. The average fuel consumption per consumer is approximately 1 to 2 gallons per day during the winter season.

The Monitor has many features including child lock, seven day programmable temperatures, contemporary styling, efficiency and economical operation.

The Monitor is rated for a 1, to 2, square foot home. The average fuel consumption is approximately 2 to 4 gallons per day during the winter season. From there you can view the flame and determine if you need to go further. Wipe off the flame sensor with a paper towel and be sure it is pointed down into the burner when it goes back in. Use or windex and clean the window. Test the heater and look into the window to see the flame.

A large leaping yellow flame is an indication of a combustion chamber overhaul. A soft blue flame is what you are looking for. This is a plus as a Monitor motor is put together with rivets and not screws. Thanks for the information Hawkins. I'll give that a try and see how things look. It's been at least a year since any Diesel was added to the system and the heater apparently worked fine most of the winter up until about February.

Maintenace Unless the burn pot is cracked or warped you can clean it up mine was 16 years old and still in good condition and probably all you'd need to do the rebuild would be the flame ring, possibly gaskets and a new burn mat. The gasket material is a little thinner than original Monitor gaskets, but is much stronger and you could double the gasket if necessary. I just rebuilt my in February using the materials from McMaster-Carr, new burn ring from Hickory Home and Garden and Rutland cement from the local hardware and it's working fine.

The cheapest place I was able to find Monitor parts was Hickory Home and Garden in Hickory, NC, their ebay user name is hhgconline or their toll free phone number is HayZee is a very important member on this forum and especially the Monitor heater section that uses McMaster-Carr materials and is the one who recommended I try them, he says each burn mat he's made from McMaster-Carr material has lasted him 6 years or longer.

The 1' x 3' piece I bought is enough to make 27 burn mats for my so considering a 6 year life span for each mat I won't need another foot for years or when I'm years old, so I'd say I have a lifetime's worth of mat and gasket material on hand. Last edited by FordMan59 ; , PM. Thanks FordMan, that really put a lot of what I needed in one place. I've been all over the forum looking at fixes to this and that, but I was still unsure as to what a general rebuild should consist of.

Hopefully that small amount of stuff will do the trick! I searched the threads and asked questions when I was going to do the rebuild on mine too and these guys are a wealth of knowledge. This was the first rebuild I'd needed on mine and it's 16 years old.

The worst part of the job was getting the burn chamber out of the heater and cleaning the old pot. When you clean the old pot there will probably be some carbon build up in the pot and the old burn mat will need replacing.

I used a straight blade screwdriver to scrape it out then cleaned the bottom of the pot good using steel wool before gluing in the new mat. Also be sure to check all the air holes in the pot to be sure they're clear before putting everything back together. Now that I know what needs to be done I could probably do everything in hours. I don't remember what all information is in the thread I started, but it may have additional information that would be helpful. The name of the thread I started was "16 year old ".

I do know I tried to compile all the information I needed into that thread so if I needed to refer to it while I was working on the heater. If you have the money available you might want to buy an extra pot and burn ring or two. I read on the internet that production on service parts for the Monitor kerosene units was scheduled to end in so I bought an extra pot and four extra burn rings for mine and my son's 's, and an extra burn pot for the and two extra burn rings.

I'm sure parts will be available for several years, but I expect the prices to go up when production stops. I figured if something happened to the heaters and they stopped working I could always resell the extra parts. Good luck with the rebuild and if you have other questions this is the place to come for answers. Without the help of the members here I'm sure it would've been much more of a headache when I did mine.

One thing I forgot to mention, if the is like the some of the screws that hold the burn chamber to the floor of the heater can't be got to without removing the cabinet or using a long 2 phillips screwdriver. The screwdrivers I bought were just the right length at 22" long. I placed a magnet on the screwdriver so I could lift the screw out when it was loosened, when I went to put it back I put the magnet on the screwdriver to hold screw onto the screwdriver while getting it back into place.

This may or may not be the case with the since it's a larger heater and probably has more working room than the , but someone else can probably tell you whether you need the long screwdrivers of not. I think HayZee has a and can probably tell you. I also have a pdf copy of the service manual for the older models. If you'd like a copy either send me a PM with your email address or post it in this thread and I'll gladly send you a copy.
