KEY INSTALLATION POINTS
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
This page references the most important key installation points when installing any Element 4 replace. This
page DOES NOT substitute for reading the entire manual.
RECORDS
• The installer MUST record the serial number and venting conguration to use for any technical issues that
may arise.
ELECTRICAL
• The receiver MUST be powered by either the AC adapter or 4 (AA) batteries, NEVER both at the same time.
FIRE MEDIA
• 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.
CONVECTION AIR
• 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.
ENCLOSING THE FIREPLACE
• ONLY a tested and approved non-combustible wallboard that is specied in the manual may be used when
enclosing the replace.
VENTING
• 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.
CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS
• 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
• Gas pressures MUST be read with a manometer and conrmed with what is required in the installation manual.
FINISHING
• A ⁄”/3 mm gap between the ange and the enclosing wallboard MUST be maintained to prevent cracking
from heat expansion and contraction.

USER INFORMATION
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.

CLEARANCES
These are NOT zero-clearance fireplaces. All clearances to
combustible AND non- combustible materials MUST be maintained
as described in this manual.
LOCATING THE FIREPLACE
When selecting a location for the replace:
• Ensure that all minimum clearances to combustible AND noncombustible 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 trac 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, 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 noncombustible (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 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
IMPEDE THE FULL OPERATION OF THE RELIEF DOORS (if
applicable). IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE
SAFETY OF THESE CRITICAL COMPONENTS THROUGHOUT
THE INSTALLATION PROCESS.
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.

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 specied 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
qualied 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 qualied plumber or gastter.
The gas control inlet accepts a ⁄” NPT tting.
This replace is shipped from the factory for use with natural gas. See appendix for LP (propane) conversion instructions.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The Element4 replaces use a receiver and remote control for their burner operation. The remote control comes with (3) AAA
batteries and the receiver is powered by a 120V AC adapter, included. The replace should be powered by the AC adapter for
improved reliability and customer satisfaction.
The installer must provide an approved 120V AC wall receptacle to be placed within the six foot cord limit of the AC adapter.
The receiver may be powered by either the AC adapter or (4) AA batteries - not both. Batteries do not provide an electrical backup
for the AC adapter. Using batteries in combination with the AC adapter can lead to a damaged receiver.
Electrical work must be performed by a qualied, licensed electrician.

VENTING
CONFIGURATION
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
through a side wall or vertically through the roof, produces an ecient system because conditioned building air is not used for combustion.
• Only the 5” x 8” direct vent components from M&G DuraVent are approved for use with these replaces. Any of the M&G
DuraVent 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 congurations
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 conguration 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.

BEWARE OF ELBOWS
Elbows do not help the movement of air through your venting conguration 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
conguration will terminate on the corresponding venting chart (shown on the next page).
These venting numbers will correlate as follows:
x
If your venting conguration lands on a block with an “X” the conguration is not possible.
For venting congurations that land on an “X” a power vent option may be available.
CALCULATING THE TOTAL VERTICAL SECTION (TVS)
Calculate the Total Vertical Section by adding up all vertical upward sections in your specic vent design.
CALCULATING THE TOTAL HORIZONTAL SECTION (THS)
Calculate the Total Horizontal Section by adding up all vertical upward sections in your specic vent design.
INSTALLING A RESTRICTOR
Some vent congurations 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 thes e (2) Phillip’s head screws
to slide on/o the restrictor.

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 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.
The table below shows a list of materials which, as of this writing, are reported by their manufacturers to be non-combustible (in
accordance with the ASTM E136 standard) AND approved for use around replaces.
Skamol Skamotec® 225 and the Promat PROMAFOUR® system are preferred products for enclosing replaces.

ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE
BUILDING THE ENCLOSURE
A safe installation of your Element4 replace requires that four things be clearly understood.
1. Most important, these replaces are NOT zero-clearance replaces. Unlike zero-clearance replaces, there is not a metal box
around the Element4 replaces. With no metal box there are no louvers to distract your view of the re. However, we want the
cooling advantage of a metal box so your site-built, non-combustible enclosure will substitute.
2. Your replace enclosure must be made to act the way a metal replace box acts - letting room air in below and warm
convection air out above. The framing cannot interfere with the air ow. The Room Air Inlet is part of the replace and cannot
be changed or adjusted. The convection air outlet is part of your enclosure design, is provided by you and MUST be included.
Note! The convection air outlet must be installed in the same room as the replace or a space which ALWAYS ows air into the room
in which the replace is installed. The ow of convection air must NOT be blocked.
3. Since these are not zero-clearance replaces, the clearances and dimensions listed in the CLEARANCES section MUST be
maintained. Only the non-combustible wall, the mounting brackets and the venting may touch the replace. As previously
stated, NOTHING may be built closer than 2”/50 mm to the non-glass sides.
4. The controls will be mounted to your enclosure and below the burner. The controls are at the end of a 50”/1270 mm line set
and are to be mounted to the Wall Access Door which is included. The controls must be located for ease of physical access
(gas line, maintenance, etc.) as well as wireless signal (remote control) access. See the LOCATING THE CONTROLS and the MOUNTING THE
CONTROLS sections.
The combination of multiple glass sides and no zero-clearance box makes for a non-typical enclosure project. It may seem
straightforward to build the ‘rough opening’, set the replace then attach the wall. However, for most projects, it will be easier to
rst set the replace in position then enclose it with Skamol Skamotec® or Promat PROMAFOUR® building board.
REDUCED CLEARANCE TO EXISTING COMBUSTIBLE WALLS
When retrotting the replace against an existing wall it is often desirable to reduce the distance between the replace and the
combustible wall. Normally, this distance is 11”/280 mm but it may be reduced by shielding the existing nished wall with a 1” air gap
and a sheet of non-combustible material as shown.
IN ALL CASES:
• A reduced clearance shield is ONLY ALLOWED ON A VERTICAL WALL; IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO BE USED ON OTHER SURFACES WITHIN
THE NON-COMBUSTIBLE ZONE.
• The non-combustible wall shield MUST extend more than 26”/660 mm above the top of the replace. The shield shall be placed
no closer than 1”/25 mm to the oor or any intersecting walls. Air MUST be allowed to continually circulate around all sides of the
wall shield.
• A 1”/25 mm air gap between the wall shield and the existing wall MUST be maintained.
• A 2”/50 mm air gap between the wall shield and the replace MUST be maintained.

COLD CLIMATE INSULATION
For cold climate installations, it is especially important to insulate outside the chase cavity, between studs and under the oor on
which appliance rests, if oor is above ground level. Gas line holes and other openings should be lled with approved restop.
If the replace is being installed on a cement slab in cold climates, a sheet of plywood or a raised platform can be placed underneath
to prevent cold transferring to the replace and into the room. It also helps to tape the venting for maximum air tightness and to
caulk restops.
LOCATING THE CONTROLS
The control system for the Element4 replaces consist of three major components:
• the receiver
• the remote
• the gas valve
The remote is the remote control by which you operate the replace. The receiver and the gas control are at one end of a line set
which will extend approximately 50”/1270 mm from the center of the replace. The other end of the line set is connected to the
rebox just left of center. As shipped, the line set is wrapped together and xed beside the replace.
The Wall Access Door is provided with your replace and is designed to hold the receiver and gas control. When locating the Wall
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 above, through the enclosing replace chase.
2. Line set access. The line set is to be unwrapped which allows the controls to be then placed within approximately
50”/1270 mm from the center of the replace, as the cable runs.
3. Physical access. The gas valve/receiver must be readily accessible for maintenance, etc.
4. Wireless access. The signals from the remote must get to the receiver, inside the access door.
If the Access Door is not used its air access equivalent (25 square inches) as well as line set, physical and wireless access must be
provided.
MOUNTING THE CONTROLS
Do not place the controls above the level of the burner. If the replace is to set directly on the oor, the controls must be placed outside the
non-combustible zone or insulated from the heat from the replace.
The Wall Access Door (11¼”/286 mm high x 8⁄”/214 mm wide outer frame) requires a rough opening of 9⁄”/250 mm high x
6 ⁄ ”/175 mm wide. The door should be mounted with the hinge on the left side or with the hinge side down.

TEST FIRE
Prior to being placed into operation, the replace should be test-red in stages to ensure that all components are in good working
order. This replace has a 2nd thermocouple which senses the main burner ame. The system will turn itself o if the system does
not sense the 2nd thermocouple output within 20 seconds after the main valve opens.
Note that a single, long beep indicates that the 2nd thermocouple is still hot enough to produce electricity at the receiver which will
not allow the replace to start. Allow time for the 2nd thermocouple to cool down before attempting a start. The system is ready to
start when pressing the ON/OFF button produces a response from the valve.
1. Start the replace with the hearth panel out and with the front glass o. Ensure that the pilot ame both heats the primary
thermocouple and lights the main burner. For safety, a post-purge delay is built into the system. Subsequent start attempts
MUST NOT take place for at least thirty (30) seconds.
2. Start the replace with the hearth panel in place and with all of the glass panels xed correctly in place. Ensure that the
main burner ames engulf the 2nd thermocouple and the replace stays lit for at least 1 full minute. If the system turns itself
o after 20 seconds install the required media (next section) and return here. Installing the re media will help with the
ame around the 2nd thermocouple. Subsequent start attempts MUST NOT take place for at least ve (5) minutes.
3. Start the replace with the media installed. If the system turns itself o after 20 seconds, rearrange the media to produce
a good ame at the 2nd thermocouple. This step may have to be repeated several times before the media is in the best
place for consistent operation. A single, long beep indicates that the 2nd thermocouple is still too hot to start the ignition
sequence. Allow time for the 2nd thermocouple to cool down. Once the system stays lit for at least one full minute, turn
the replace o, x the glass panels in place and operate the replace for at least 45 minutes to ensure the system works
properly when heated.

OPERATING the FIREPLACE
BEFORE THE FIRST FIRE
1. Make certain that all construction materials have been removed from inside and around the replace and the replace has
been cleaned of any construction dust. Clean the glass BEFORE and AFTER the rst re.
2. Conrm that the gas valve is properly connected and bled by a certied gas technician or plumber.
3. Check the gas supply for leaks and proper pressure. --- Refer to the table in “Appliance Ratings” section.
4. Check that the venting is unobstructed and in proper working condition.
5. PROPERLY PLACE, CLAMP, AND SEAL THE GLASS PANELS.
6. Ensure the receiver is plugged in with AC Adapter OR Batteries... NOT BOTH.
7. Place the three AAA batteries into the remote control and conrm that it will communicate with the receiver by pressing
the ON/OFF button. If necessary pair the remote and receiver.
8. Follow USING THE REMOTE CONTROL ELECTRONIC IGNITION SEQUENCE to setup and use remote.
PAIRING THE REMOTE AND RECEIVER (System Reset)
From the factory, the remote control will communicate with the receiver; they are ‘paired’ and should need no further attention. If
the receiver does not respond to commands from the remote they should be paired to each other. This is done as follows:
1. Press and hold the receiver reset button using a small, long tool until you hear the second of two beeps. After the second
beep release the reset button.
2. Press and hold the button on the remote until you hear the second of two beeps. Release the button.
If you hear one long beep, this indicates the pairing sequence has failed or the wiring is incorrect.

OPERATING the FIREPLACE
THE FIRST FIRE
When the replace is rst heated, an odor may be given o by the hot metal. This is normal and is a result of the ‘burn o’ of the
lubricants and sealants used when manufacturing the replace. We recommend that you open the nearby windows for extra
ventilation and then operate the replace for at least four hours.
When the glass is cold, some condensation may appear on the glass after lighting the replace. This is normal and the
condensation will disappear as the glass warms.
During this rst re, examine the ame for appearance and quality. Examine the burner media for sooting. The ames should look
like those shown below.
After this burn-o period, turn o the replace and let it cool completely to room temperature and clean both sides of the glass
and the interior panels as described in the MAINTENANCE section.
Since it is a metal replace, the heat-up and cool-down cycles may produce some noises caused by the expansion and contraction
of these metals. The premium materials and build quality of your replace will keep these sounds to a minimum.

REMOVING AND CLEANING THE GLASS
OVERVIEW
The glass panels on this replace are held in place by a number
of rope gaskets. These instructions will show you how to remove
and install the rope gaskets and glass panels.
Please read these instructions completely before proceeding.
TOOLS REQUIRED
• Gloves (not included)
REMOVING THE GLASS
Step 1.
Remove the lower and upright trim pieces which are held in
place with magnets and will lift out.
Step 2.
The front glass panel should be removed rst. This panel is
secured with one lower rope gasket and one upper rope gasket.
Remove the SIDE TRIM rst,
then the BOTTOM TRIM
Step 3.
Once the rope gaskets are out, lift the glass panel up and swing
the lower edge of the glass panel out and over the stando
frame.
When the glass panel is clear of the stando frame then lower
the glass panel out and set the panel securely aside.
Step 4.
Remove all of the rope gaskets holding each remaining glass
panel (if applicable). Remove each small glass panel and set
aside.
PROPERLY PLACE ROPE GASKET(S) AND SEAL THE GLASS
PANEL(S) BEFORE LIGHTING THE FIRE!
Remove the ROPE GASKET
starting from one end down
to the other end
The ROPE GASKET will be
removed for all remaining
sides (if applicable)

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE GLASS
Burning natural gas (NG) or propane (LP) in this replace will always result in some of the gas components being deposited on the
glass. Hydrogen suldes and mercaptans, which are present in the burning gas, condense onto the relatively cooler glass surface
and cause white lm to build up over time.
The amount of this white lm is inuenced by a number of factors such as; the conguration of the system venting, thermal eciency
of the replace design, the humidity of combustion air, frequency of replace use, burner performance and, the replace design itself.
Do not use normal household (usually ammonia-based) glass cleaners to clean the glass as these cleaners can leave a permanent
stain. Only a gas replace glass cleaner should be used. Products such as Stove Bright® Gas Appliance Glass Cleaner by Forrest
Technical Coatings, Imperial Gas Fireplace Glass Cleaner by Imperial Manufacturing Group and GFC™ Gas Fireplace Glass Cleaner by
A.W. Perkins Co. are designed for this purpose.
Follow the instructions for use and do not clean the glass when it is hot! If the glass becomes coated with deposits which cannot
be removed it must be replaced.
The replace glass should be cleaned before the replace is rst lit and then after the replace has been through its four hour burnin cycle. This will reduce potential build up on your glass.
INSTALLING THE GLASS
The glass panels should be installed in reverse order of their removal.
Step 1.
Lift the glass panel up under the stando frame and swing the lower edge of the glass panel against the rebox gasket. Set a rope
gasket into place and secure it from the middle to the left and right sides.
Step 2.
Repeat Step 1 with the remaining glass panels.
Step 3.
Adjust the remaining glass panels left to right until there is no corner gap.
Step 4.
While ensuring that the glass panels are tight and square to each another, carefully install the remaining rope gaskets.
PROPERLY PLACE ROPE GASKET(S) AND SEAL THE GLASS PANEL(S) BEFORE LIGHTING THE FIRE!

APPENDIX FIVE
CONNECTING TO A SMART HOME SYSTEM
GENERAL NOTES
The replace may be operated through an external source such as a smart home (home automation) system by using the 5-pin
connector on the receiver.
A required 39”/1000 mm cable, with connector, is available (part number E4-SA-SHSC-02). The overall cable length should not
exceed 26’/8000 mm.
Signal relays (gold contacts) or opto-couplers are recommended but not supplied. The E4-SA-SHSC-02 cable must be connected
to the three smart home system contacts as shown below.
WARNING
You MUST ensure that the replace is in a safe and ready condition before attempting to operate from a remote source.
SEqUENCE OF OPERATION
• To start ignition, close contacts 1 and 3 simultaneously
for 1 second.
• To set the valve to High Fire, close contact 1.
To set the valve to Pilot, close contact 3. In each case, the
contacts need to be closed for 12 seconds to turn the
motor from one end-stop to the other end stop.
• To set the valve to the O position, close contacts 1, 2,
and 3 simultaneously for 1 second.
E4-SA-SHSC-02
MOdES OF OPERATION
• Mode 1 - the external source provides “ON“ and “OFF“
operation only. The remote control handset provides all
other functions.
Note: Even if the re is switched on by the external
source, the handset, in the thermostatic mode, controls
the room temperature. The room temperature setting of
the handset will remain the same for the next ON-cycle
of the external source as long as the temperature setting
in the handset has not been changed. If the handset is in
manual mode, it will go to High Fire in the next cycle of
external operation.
• Mode 2 - The handset must be set to the manual mode if
the external source is to control the room temperature.
If the handset is placed in the thermostatic mode it will
override the external source.
NOTE:
Frequent ON and OFF cycles will limit life expectancy of the
valve and will increase battery consumption. The replace
should be powered by the AC adapter for improved
reliability and customer satisfaction.
