KEY INSTALLATION POINTS
Element4 Gas Fireplaces EuropeanHome.com
• The installer MUST record the serial number and venting conguration 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 dierent 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 specied in the manual may be used when
enclosing the replace.
• The venting MUST follow the model specic 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 conrmed with what is required in the installation manual.

Site-built Chase
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 eort.
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.

The base may be the oor or a purpose-built raised platform, e.g.
wood, metal. When placed on a platform, an 8”/203 mm x 6”/152
mm 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 Wall Access Door then through this opening.
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
venting
• Do not block or restrict the Room Air Inlet, located between
the stando frame and glass.
The minimum clearances (air spaces) to combustible materials
must be maintained. It is of the greatest importance that the
replace and vent system be installed only in accordance with
these instructions.
Clearance to combustibles summary:
Back: 11”/280 mm
Sides: 11”/280 mm
Top: 26”/660 mm
Floor: 4”/100 mm
The Floor dimension (above) is measured from the bottom of
the rebox. When the adjustable feet are in their lowest position
the required clearance to the oor is maintained.
The feet on the appliance are designed to sit on a at platform,
however the appliance must not be installed on any combustible
material other than wood. For example, carpet or linoleum bases
are not permitted.
Do not place anything between the bottom of the rebox and the
bottom of the feet.
ENSURE THAT THE LINESET (WHICH INCLUDES THE GAS
VALVE, ELECTRICAL WIRING, AND GAS LINES) DOES NOT

VENTING
Element4 Gas Fireplaces 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
througha sidewallorvertically throughtheroof, producesanecientsystembecauseconditioned buildingairisnotusedforcombustion.
CONFIGURATION
• Only the 5” x 8”direct vent components from the companies listed below 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. 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 STANDY BY MODE (Pilot Flame only). This will help maintain a
steady draft within the venting over a period of up to (5) days. See the “Operating the Fireplace”section.

BEWARE OF ELBOWS
Elbows do not help the movement of air through your venting conguration and must be included when determining your minimum
and maximum vent lengths.
45° elbows are calculated as either vertical or horizontal depending on positioning.
There are (2) types of elbows:
TYPE N 45° and 90° elbows from vertical to horizontal and vice versa
-The rst (3) N elbows do not need to be included in venting calculations.
-For every extra N elbow, you must add 40”(1m) to your THS
TYPE Q 45° and 90° elbows from horizontal to horizontal
-For each 90° elbow in the horizontal section you must add 80”(2m) to your THS
-For each 45° elbow in the horizontal section you must add 40”(1m) to your THS
INTERPRETING THE GRAPH RESULTS
Once you have found your total vertical section (TVS) and your total horizontal section (THS) determine where you vent
conguration will terminate on the corresponding venting chart (shown on the next page).
These venting numbers will correlate as follows:
If your venting conguration lands on a block with an “X” the conguration is not possible.
For venting congurations that land on an “X” a power vent option may be available.

INSTALLING A RESTRICTOR
Some vent congurations may require a restrictor plate be installed. The restrictor for this replace is installed on the inside top of
the replace and is to be slid open or closed. Loosen the screws on either side and slide the restrictor as desired. Do not modify the
restrictor(s). Please use the graph above to determine if you will need to use a restrictor.

Loosen these (2) Phillip’s head screws
to slide on/o the restrictor.
