IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Element4 Gas Fireplaces EuropeanHome.com
CAUTION - HOT! HOT! HOT!
This appliance is a HEATING appliance and it does become very hot in operation.
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, DO NOT PLACE any object, furniture, draperies or other item LESS THAN 36”/90 cm IN
FRONT OF THE GLASS OF THE FIREPLACE.
CHILDREN AND PETS
Radiant heat can heat surfaces such as the surround and trims of the replace to temperatures that, although approved
safe, can be quite uncomfortable to touch - particularly for children and pets. Children and pets should always be
supervised when in the room where the appliance is located. Remote control handset should be kept out of reach of
children. In the presence of children, we STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you install in front of the replace: a re screen or,
to protect young toddlers, a “hearth gate”.
HOT SURFACES
Be aware that, although safe, some combustible materials and nishes, even though installed
at listed clearances may, over time, discolor, warp or show cracks.
Convective heat will exit the unit and travel up the wall surface if not impeded. Protruding
mantels and projections can help direct the heat away from the wall. AVOID placing heat
sensitive items such as televisions, paintings, decorations, etc. above replaces or near the
edge of protrusions unless appropriate.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Make yourself fully aware of all the following instructions and the many features of the Element4
direct vent gas replace appliance.
INSTALLER: Leave this manual with the appliance.
OWNER: Keep this manual for future reference.
Do not place furniture or
other objects within 36” of
the replace glass.

KEY INSTALLATION POINTS
• The installer MUST record the serial number and venting conguration to use for any technical issues that
may arise.
• An approved 120V AC wall receptacle is required. The receiver MUST be powered by the AC adapter. (4) AA
batteries may be used only for on-demand electrical requirement during power outage.
• When installing the re media make sure to NEVER mix dierent types of media or use media purchased
from another retailer. ALWAYS keep the second thermocouple AND pilot free from media.
• The convection air outlets MUST be installed BEFORE the rst light. The amount of square inches needed
for the opening varies from model to model.
• ONLY a tested and approved non-combustible wallboard that is specied in the manual may be used when
enclosing the replace.
• The venting MUST follow the model specic graph shown in the manual. A restrictor may or may not need
to be used based on venting run and rise.
• REMEMBER that if the replace is installed before the site is nished, construction debris MUST be cleaned
from the enclosure and around the unit prior to nishing and the test re.
• Gas pressures MUST be read with a manometer and conrmed with what is required in the installation manual.
• A ⁄”/3 mm gap between the ange and the enclosing wallboard MUST be maintained to prevent cracking
from heat expansion and contraction.

USER INFORMATION
Element4 Gas Fireplaces EuropeanHome.com
WARMTH AND BEAUTY HOW IT WORKS
The Element4 replaces are direct vent replaces and, as such, the intake and exhaust are both handled through the vent pipe. The
replace also provides convection air to your room. The illustration shows one of the unique features of the Element4 replaces - its
use of warm, convection air ow.
Other replaces have louvered metal boxes around them to keep temperatures under control. The Element4 replaces use your
enclosing walls, or chase, to guide this warm air. This design, therefore, requires the use of non-combustible wall materials and gives
you beauty for your eort.
When the air within the chase is warmed by the replace, it rises and exits through the Convection Air Outlet. This chase air is then
replaced by room air which enters the chase through the Room Air Inlet and through the Wall Access Door. As the exiting warm air
cools, it falls to the oor where it's drawn into the inlets and the cycle repeats.
The replace provides the inlet for room air as part of its design; you provide the warm air outlet as part of your design.
See the ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE section of this manual for more information.
