Monaco Installation and Operation Manual
NOTE: The Fireplace is not approved for use with a so-called "positive flue connection" to
the clay tile of a masonry chimney.
6.3 Fireplace Installation
BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR FIREPLACE, YOU MUST INSTALL THE FOUR
SPACERS ON TOP AND ON THE BACK OF THE FIREPLACE.
The spacers are in the firebox of the fireplace and the screws are with the manual kit.
Using the screws provided, install the two spacers (A) on top of the fireplace and the two
spacers (C) on the back of it.
6.3.1 Locating the MONACO
A. The best location to install your fireplace is determined by considering the location of
windows, doors, and the traffic flow in the room where the fireplace is located, allowing
space in front of the unit for the heart extension and the mantel, and taking into
consideration the location of the hot air ducts (optional), outside air kit and chimney. If
possible, you should choose a location where the chimney will pass through the house
without cutting floor or roof rafters.
B. Usually, no additional floor support is needed for the fireplace. The adequacy of the
floor can be checked by first estimating the weight of the fireplace system. Weight is
given in Section 2.1: Monaco Specifications. Next, measure the area occupied by
the fireplace, note the floor construction and consult your local building code to
determine if additional support is needed.
