2. GENERAL INFORMATION
MONROE gas fireplaces are gas powered heating devices with closed combustion chamber, which use first-
class advanced automation to control the gas valve. The device complies with European directives with regards
to safety, the environment and energy consumption. Thanks to the use of the concentric flue system, the air
supplied to the combustion chamber via the outer pipe is drawn from outside the building. The entire system
is completely closed, which prevents the exhaust gases entering directly into the room where the fireplace is
located. This provides the user with 100% security thanks to separation of the products of combustion, which
are removed efficiently out of the building through the inner pipe of concentric system.
MONROE Gas fireplaces series are intended for indoor use only, and can be powered by natural gas or liquefied
natural gas propane or propane-butane. The device is manufactured in four variants of glazing, in accordance
with the accessibility for each installed, so as to be able to fully meet the needs of even the most demanding
customers. Regardless of the glazing and the length of the chimney, MONROE fireplaces are equipped with
automatic control and protection of the same type, and their connection to the gas system and the flue system
is identical. The user also has the option of choosing the version of the interior of the fireplace and control it
by using remote control supplied together with the device, through automation system of intelligent buildings
or use for this purpose a built-in thermostat unit.

3.1. Safety instructions for MONROE’s fireplace instalation
 MONROE fireplaces are not standalone devices and are intended only for installation.
 You should install the ventilation grille or make a ventilation gap in the ventilation surface at least
300cm2 at the base of the installation to provide adequate circulation in its interior. The device without
grating or the ventilation slot on the desired surface will not work properly, creating a danger of
overheating and damage to the appliance, or in extreme cases of fire.
 For installation of air combustion wires, you should only use the concentric system supplied by the
company Planika.
 For the construction of fireplace housing equipment use only non-flammable materials (e. g. non-
combustible and heat-resistant plates or materials made of stone). Non-combustible materials must
be used to complete both external as well as internal part of the housing, and for completing the wall,
at which the device will be placed.
 Strictly follow the minimum distance between non-combustible walls of the housing and the device.
 To improve the circulation inside the unit and to reduce the risk of overheating of its walls (including
the wall, which the device was placed on), you must comply with the distances shown in the mounting
drawings.
 Use the electric wires in high-temperature insulation, and place them away from the hot parts of the
fireplace and installation items.
 Do not apply any additional insulation (wool, non-woven materials) do not wrap the device in any other
material.
 Combustible materials should be placed no closer than within 1 m from the unit.
 Only decorative accessories attached to the device by the manufacturer should be placed on the hearth
(logs, stones, vermiculite or ash imitation). These accessories should be installed as described in this
manual. Incorrect placement of decorative materials may result in shortening the useful life of the
hearth and its damage.
 WARNING! Make sure you don’t place any decorative elements around the ignition and ionization
electrodes.

properly fitted to the sealing surface.
3.2. Safety instructions for the use of fireplace powered by gas cylinder
 Use only the type of gas and pressure specified on the label by the manufacturer.
 Gas cylinders should always be in an upright position - both during use and transport.
 A storage of the gas cylinder should be located in a place easily accessible to allow its immediate
closure.
 During installation, never approach the gas flame or any other source of fire.
 Gas cylinder should not be closer than 1.5 m from the fireplace MONROE.
 Any leaks should be located using a mixture of water and foaming cleaning fluid. The resulting air
bubbles indicate a leak.
 Always use a pressure reducer between the cylinder and the device. Replace pressure regulator at least
every 5 years. Permissible pressure: 30mbar, 37mbar (recommended), 50 mbar. Use only regulators
that meet the requirements of European Standard EN16129.
 Use only approved and certified cables connecting gas (flexible hose). Replace them at least every 2
years.
 Flexible hose supplying gas to the unit should be located away from sharp edges and hot surfaces.
Avoid bends and twists of flexible connections along the whole length.
 Note that the gas cylinder LPG should be installed in well-ventilated areas. LPG gas is heavier than air
and its accumulation on the substrate can lead to the formation of explosive mixtures.
 Optional housing, which cylinder of LPG will be placed at, must have adequate ventilation. It must have
an upper ventilation opening above the top of the cylinder (with min 1/100 base surface of the
installation) and a lower vent opening at its base (with min 1/50 base surface of the installation).
 Turn off gas cylinder, if the device is not in use.
 Filling the gas cylinders should only be done at certified gas filling stations.
 Exchange of empty bottles for full should take place only at authorized points.

minimum distance from flammable material floor finish. It is prohibited to build in LPG-powered device into
the floor.
WARNING! You should follow the recommended minimum dimensions of the housing.
During construction of fireplace housing, you should consider the following:
 Inspection hatch must be placed as low as possible.
 Location of outlet ventilation holes. In order to ensure proper heat dissipation around the device,
adequate space must be ensured. Fireplace wall should be properly ventilated with use of circulation
holes (inlet and outlet). Outlet channels, which should be placed as high as possible on both sides of
the walls of the housing (or one placed in the center) should have a total area of 300 cm2 minimum,
and inlet holes at the base of the wall should have a total area of 300 cm2 minimum (Section 5.6.1).
 Keep at least 300 mm distance between the upper circular hole (outlet) and the ceiling of the room.
 Front hole of the fireplace housing must allow easy installation and removal of the front glass after
placing the fireplace wall.
 Secure the gas assembly and gas pipes against cement and mortar.
 Decorative strips, frames, etc. should be installed after the completion of all required structural work,
if possible. You should avoid using masking tape. If this is not possible, you should use good quality
masking tape and remove it immediately after completion of the work including plastering or painting.
 Do not apply the plaster directly on the mounting frame nor on the edges, because the high
temperatures generated by the device can cause cracks and it may not be possible to assembly or
disassembly of the front glass.
 In case of using stone materials and/or gypsum plasters, to prevent the occurrence of cracks, leave
fireplace wall to dry for at least six weeks before putting the unit into service.
WARNING! Before closing the fireplace wall completely, please ensure that:
 Concentric flue system has been places correctly.
