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 furnishings, 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.

COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Materials that can catch re and burn are considered combustible. Any material that is made of, or faced with, wood, wood pulp,
paper, plastic or any other material that can catch re and burn is considered combustible. Even though these materials may have
been 'ame-proofed', made 're-resistant' or are 're-rated' they are considered combustible. Standard and Type X drywall are
both combustible.
NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
A given material is said to be non-combustible when it cannot catch re and burn. For example, materials made entirely, or in
combinations, of, stone, brick, concrete, tile, steel, plaster or glass are considered non-combustible.
Table 1 shows a list of materials which, as of this writing, are reported by their manufacturers to be non-combustible (in

CLEARANCES
Element4 Gas Fireplaces EuropeanHome.com
The beauty of the Element4 replaces is due largely to the
fact that they are NOT zero-clearance replaces. All clearances
to combustible AND non-combustible materials MUST be
maintained as described in this manual.
LOCATION
When selecting a location for the replace:
• Ensure that all minimum clearances to combustible
materials are met.
• Provide adequate clearances for servicing.
• The allowed venting dimensions (rise, run and number
of bends, etc.) must be considered during the location
selection for your replace.
• Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located
out of trac and away from furniture and draperies.
• The location should also be free of electrical, plumbing or
other heating/air conditioning ducting.
These appliances are intended to be built into a place for re.
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). The base upon which the replace is
installed must have a 3”/76 mm x 24”/610 mm opening centered
in it to allow the free ow of air to the replace above.
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.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
• The appliance is approved with a minimum clearance to
combustible materials on all sides of 11”/280 mm. Any spacer
or framing used closer than this dimension must be non-
combustible (e.g. metal). The minimum clearance to non-
combustible material is 2”/50 mm.
• 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
• Non-combustible materials may be installed to a zero
clearance to the outer faces of the appliance outer frame.
However, they must not cover (or prevent the removal of)
the glass panels or the control equipment.
• Do not block or restrict the convection gap between the
appliance rebox and the appliance outer frame (top of
glass panels).
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 thus the feet can sit on the oor and give this
clearance in their lowest position.

CLEARANCES
Element4 Gas Fireplaces EuropeanHome.com
MANTELS
The graph in Figure 7 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 Figure
12.
Mantels made of non-combustible material are
allowed inside these dimensions but they will be
subjected to elevated temperatures and may be
too hot to touch.
A typical completed installation with mantel is
shown in Figure 7.

INSTALLING THE GAS LINE
Correctly size and route the gas supply line from the supply regulator to the area where the appliance is to be installed as per
requirements outlined in the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B149.1 (Canada).
Never use galvanized or plastic pipe unless specied specically for use with gas. Refer to the table below for proper sizing of the
supply gas line. Gas lines must be 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.
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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Element4 replaces use a receiver and remote control for their burner operation. The remote control comes with a 9V
battery and the receiver is powered by a 120V AC wall adapter, included.
This installation must provide an approved 120V AC wall receptacle to be placed within the six foot cord limit of the wall
adapter.
The receiver should be powered by either the wall adapter or 4AA batteries - not both. Batteries do not provide an electrical
backup for the wall adapter. Using batteries in combination with the wall adapter can damage the receiver.
Electrical work must be performed by a qualied, licensed electrician.
All wiring shall be in compliance with all local, city, and state codes.

LOCATING THE CONTROLS
The control system for the Element4 replaces consist of three major components; the receiver, the transmitter and the gas
control. The transmitter is the remote control by which you operate the replace. The receiver and the gas control are at one end
of a 50”/1270 mm line set. The other end of the line set is connected to the approximate center of the rebox. As shipped, the line
set is wrapped together and xed beneath the replace. See Figure 14.
When locating the BDLE4 Access Door you must consider four types of access:
1. Air access. Room air must be allowed to ow freely through the door perforations, up through the site-built
platform and up into the enclosing replace chase.
2. Line set access. The line set is to be unwrapped which allows the controls to be placed within a radius of
approximately 50”/1270 mm from the center of the replace, as the cable runs. Do not place the controls above the
level of the burner.
3. Physical access. Is the gas valve/receiver accessible for maintenance, etc.?
4. Wireless access. Can the signals from the transmitter (handheld, remote control) get to the receiver, inside the
access door?
MOUNTING THE CONTROLS
The BDLE4 Access Door requires a rough opening of 9⁄”/250 mm high by 6⁄”/175 mm wide. The door should be mounted with
the hinge on the left side. The door can also be mounted with the hinge side down.
- Carefully cut the black tie wraps which hold the line set to the bottom of the replace then carefully unwrap the line set. Lay
the line set out towards the location of the BDLE4 while avoiding kinks and bends with a radius of less than 2”/50 mm. See Figure
14.
- Remove the four bolts holding the white door/frame cover to the frame, separate the frame and cover then mount the BDLE4
frame to the rough opening as shown in Figure 15.
- Replace the white door/frame cover onto the frame and secure it with the four bolts
- Fit the gas control tab into the bracket on the BDLE4 frame then tighten the bolt through the mounting bosses . See Figures 16
and 17
- Set the receiver into the BDLE4 bracket as shown in Figure 38 and connect the wall adapter.
When mounted, the BDLE4 should look like that shown in Figure 19.
