European Home has developed four distinct installation methods to ensure that the wall above your Element4
replace stays cool enough for the mounting of most electronics such as a television. In addition to mounting a TV,
utilizing
Method 4: Double Front Wall (Page 4) you can now bring virtually any material down to the edge of your replace
including wood veneer and wallpaper. None of these installation methods eect overall heat output, so you get the
same ecient replace with the added bonus of design exibility.
Considerations to further reduce the amount of wall heat:
For best results, consider using non-combustible wall board with very low thermal conductivity for any of the
methods outlined below.
Both Skamotec 225 by Skamol and Promafour by Promat are calcium silicate building boards that strongly resist the
movement of heat from one side to the other. The chase (enclosure) above the replace built with either of these
products will further reduce your electronics’exposure to heat.

A non-combustible mantel (minimum 1”
thick) is mounted to deect the hot air
rising up the wall face.
Element4 requires a minimum 20”vertical
vent before any oset of the vent pipe.
Wrap electronic wires in non-combustible in-
sulation or hidden in false wall or box behind
the electronic device when running inside the
chase.
The entire weight of the electronic device
must be supported by the chase or a separate
framework. No weight may be supported by
the replace.

Please Note: Some electronics manufacturers specify that their products should not be installed on, near or above a heat source.
Consult your manufacturer’s specications.
Mounting an electronic device is ultimately the owner’s decision and responsibility. European Home will not be held liable for any
adverse eects of heat on electronic devices located near a European Home replace.
*Use this method if you would like to
bring combustible nishing (such as wood
veneer or wallpaper) to the edge of the
replace face.
