properly fitted to the sealing surface.

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.

Safery sensors
Planika fireplaces are equipped with advanced safety sensors detecting hazards related to the presence of
carbon monoxide (CO) and gas (LPG or natural gas, depending on the device category). In the event of any
danger, the sensor will automatically turn off the fireplace and, additionally, it will inform the user about the
threat detected by sound signals. Restart of the device is possible after removing the cause of the CO and gas
