Before You Begin
• Since the Element4 replaces are vented gas appliances they must be installed by a qualied installer.
Your sales representative can help you choose the appropriate professional.
Overall Design
• One of the many features of the Element4 replace is its use of convective air ow.
• As the air within the enclosing walls, or chase, is warmed by the replace it rises and then exits the
Convection Air Outlet(s). The warm air in the chase is then replaced by room air which enters through
the Room Air Inlets. As this warm air cools it falls toward the oor where it’s drawn into the inlet and the
cycle repeats.
• The Room Air Inlets are part of the replace and cannot be blocked or adjusted. The amount of square
area required for your Convection Air Outlet(s) is determined by the replace model and is listed in the
installation manual.
• As seen in the illustrations, below, the outlets may be placed in a number of locations to accommodate
all types of designs. In all cases, though, your design must allow the free ow of air through the chase.

Contact your local dealer if you have any Questions
30 Log Bridge Road
Building 300 - Suite 303
Middleton, Ma 01949
www.EuropeanHome.com
Important Points
• The most important question to ask when locating your replace is, “Can it be eectively vented?”The
Element4 replaces are approved as “direct vent” appliances. This means that all of the air for combustion
comes directly from the outside and all of the ue gases are discharged directly to the outside by way of
co-axial 5” x 8” direct vent pipe.
• The venting can run vertically, horizontally or a combination of both. For example, it can be installed
near and vented through an exterior wall. Or it can be installed near the center of your home and vented
through the roof. In any case, the installation manual details the allowable congurations, distances and
clearances. If the venting falls outside of the vent graphs, a power vent is available.
• The next question to ask is,“Can I get my gas pipe to the replace?”The Element4 replaces burn either
natural gas (NG) or propane gas (LP.) Your sales representative will ask you for your requirement at the
time of order and your gas professional (usually your plumber) can advise you on the most eective
route for the gas supply within your home.
• In order to keep the look as contemporary as possible the replace controls are mounted away from
the replace but within a radius of approximately 50”(1250 mm) from center of the replace (on most
models). These controls must be behind an access door (not included) with a suggested size of 12”
square to allow ample room to work on the replace controls.
• This sheet is not intended to replace the Element4 Installation Manual. In all cases, the information and
instructions in the Element4 Installation Manual must be followed. The Element4 Installation Manual is
included with your replace and is available at www.europeanhome.com Please call us if you have any
questions or are uncertain about any aspect of your installation!

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.
When the air within the chase is warmed by the replace, it exits through an air outlet that you have provided. This chase air is then
replaced by room air which enters through the Air Inlet (provided by the replace design) and through the access door (not included).
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.

as described in this manual.
LOCATING THE FIREPLACE
When selecting a location for the replace:
• Ensure that all minimum clearances to combustible AND
non-combustible materials are met.
• Provide adequate clearances for servicing.
• Consider venting dimensions (rise, run and number of
elbows, etc.) when selecting the location for your replace.
• Locate the appliance out of trac and away from furniture
and draperies.
• Keep the location free of electrical, plumbing or other
heating/air conditioning ducting.
PLACING THE FIREPLACE
The base upon which the appliance rests must be sturdy, level
and built to safely support at least 500 pounds (230 kilograms).
The base may be the oor or a purpose-built raised platform, e.g.
wood, metal. When placed on a platform, a minimum 24 in2(610
mm2) opening must be cut through the platform top. The lineset
can be routed through this opening. Room air must be allowed
to ow through the convection air inlets and then through this
platform opening. A linear cutout shape (Figure ) will perform
best.
Do not place anything between the bottom of the rebox and
the bottom of the feet.
Figure 12
MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
• The appliance is approved with a minimum clearance to
combustible materials of 26” (660 mm) to the top, 11” (280
mm) on all sides and 4” (100 mm) to the bottom. Any spacer
or framing used closer than this dimension must be non-
combustible (e.g. metal).
• The minimum distance from the bottom of the appliance to
the room ceiling is 72” (1830 mm).
• When installing the venting, the following clearances to
combustible materials MUST be maintained:
a. 3”/76 mm above any horizontal venting
b. 1”/25 mm to venting sides or below any horizontal

The appliance must not be installed on any combustible material other than wood.
These clearances are the same for ALL Element 4 Fireplaces, regardless of model.
We recommend that the replace be set into its nal location before building the enclosure.
Please refer to the “Reduced Clearance to Existing Combustible Wall” section for use of combustibles inside of the above clearances.

MANTELS
The graph below (Figure __) shows a range of allowable depths and heights for a COMBUSTIBLE mantel installation.
As shown, the minimum allowable mantel height above the replace opening is 2” (50 mm) with a 1” (25 mm) deep mantel.
The maximum mantel depth is 12” (300) mm at a minimum height above the replace opening of 13” (330 mm.)
All of the mantel height/depth combinations fall in between these extremes in accordance with the chart below.
Mantels made of non-combustible material are allowed inside these dimensions but they will be subjected to elevated
temperatures and may become too hot to touch.
A typical completed installation with mantel is shown in the diagram below, on the right.

INSTALLING THE GAS LINE
In accordance with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B149.1 (Canada,) correctly size and
route the gas supply line from the supply regulator to the area where the appliance is to be installed.
Never use galvanized or plastic pipe unless it is rated for use with gas. Gas supply pipes must be designed, routed, constructed and
made of materials that are in strict accordance with local codes and regulations. A qualied plumber or gas tter should be hired to
correctly size and route the gas supply line to the appliance in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations.
Installing a gas supply line from the fuel supply to the appliance involves numerous considerations of materials, protection, sizing,
locations, controls, pressure, sediment trap, and other criteria. The sizing and/or installing of gas piping should only be performed
by a qualied plumber or gastter.
The gas control inlet accepts a ⁄” NPT tting.
The gas supply piping should have a separate gas shuto valve and a capped, 1/8”pipe tapping upstream of the valve for the purpose
of reading pressure. A service shuto valve must be placed within six feet of the replace gas control valve.
The gas supply pressure at the gas control valve must not exceed the Maximum Supply Pressure as shown in the Specications
and Dimensions section of this manual.
The gas supply line must be properly connected and bled by a certied gastter or plumber.
The appliance and its main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that
system at test pressures in excess of ½psi (3.5 kPa). The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing
its equipment shuto valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi
(3.5 kPa).

WARNING
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This replace uses a receiver and remote control for its burner operation. The remote control comes with two AAA batteries and
the receiver is powered by a 120V AC adapter, included. The replace MUST be powered by the AC adapter for improved reliability
and customer satisfaction.
The installer must provide a dedicated, approved 120V AC duplex receptacle to be placed within the six foot cord limit of the
AC adapter. The receiver MUST be powered by the AC adapter. Four AA batteries may be used only for on-demand electrical
requirement during a power outage. Remove batteries after use to avoid battery corrosion. Battery corrosion will damage the
receiver and void the warranty.
The cooling fans are powered by 120V AC and connect to the dedicated duplex receptacle via the provided eight foot long power
cord. Plug the power cord into the dedicated receptacle and ensure that the fans spin freely and operate properly before enclosing
the replace!

VENTING
Element4 Gas Fireplaces Rev #08042022 EuropeanHome.com
CONFIGURING THE VENTING
The replaces in this manual are direct vent replaces that use a co-axial or “pipe within a pipe” venting system. The outer “pipe” or vent
conducts fresh, outside air into the replace and the inner vent carries the exhaust outside. This system, which can run either horizontally
throughasidewallor verticallythroughtheroof,producesanecientsystembecauseconditionedbuildingairisnotused for combustion.
• Only the 5” x 8”direct vent components from the companies listed below (Figure __) are approved for use with
these replaces. Any of the 5”x 8” direct vent components suitable for the local condition are permitted. Please visit
www.europeanhome.com/qr-support or via the QR code below for installation instructions.
• This replace is shipped with a North American venting adapter (Figure __). It MUST attach to the
vent collar of the replace.
• All venting measurements are taken from the top center of the vent collar on the top of the replace
and all congurations must fall within the acceptable range of the venting charts.
• A minimum clearance of 3”(75 mm) must be maintained between combustible materials and the top
of any horizontal vent pipe surface; a minimum clearance of 1” (25 mm) must be maintained between
combustible materials and any other vent pipe surface.
• The horizontal parts of the venting must be pitched up away from the replace. For every 12” (305 mm) of horizontal run, the
venting must rise ¼” (6.5 mm) toward the termination. The venting must never run downward unless with the use of a power
vent.
• Whenever venting passes through a wall, an approved heat shield or‘wall thimble’must be installed.
• A power vent system is available for venting that falls outside of the venting graphs. Refer to the appropriate power vent
manual for any venting conguration which is outside of the vent graphs shown here.
• Your venting needs to be inspected annually, including any connected components, to ensure that the system is working as
designed.
• In colder climate environments, the replace can be lowered to STANDBY MODE (Pilot Flame only). This will help maintain a
steady draft within the venting over a period of up to ve days. See the“Operating the Fireplace”section.
