USER INFORMATION
WARMTH AND BEAUTY HOW IT WORKS
This Element4 replace is a direct vent replace and, as such, the intake and exhaust air moves through the vent pipe. To lower the
temperature of the glass panel(s), the replace has a Glass Safety Barrier between the room and the inner panels(s). This Glass Safety
Barrier includes fans to move room air between the two layers of viewing glass thus providing warm air to the room.
For proper operation, the Glass Safety Barrier (GSB) needs two openings; a room air inlet through which room air is drawn in and an
warm air outlet opening out which warm air can ow.
The inlet, for room air in, and the outlet, for warm air out, are built into the walls which enclose the replace and are 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, a minimum 200 in2/129 0
2
cm
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 and the Room Air Inlet openings then
through this opening. A linear cutout shape (shown crosshatched,
below) will perform best.
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.

GAS and ELECTRIC
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 is rated 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.

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 7.0” w.c. (1.7 kPa)
for natural gas or 11.0” w.c (2.7 kPa) for LP.
The appliance and its appliance 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 ½ psi (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).
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This replace uses a receiver and remote control for its burner operation. The remote control comes with (2) 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

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 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/qrsupport 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 vertical 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 down toward the termination 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 every six months, 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 (5) days. See the “Operating the Fireplace” section.

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
APPLYING THE RESULTS
Once you have found your total vertical section (TVS) and your total horizontal section (THS) plot the intersection of these two
numbers on the appropriate chart, below.
The intersecting block will have one of three entries; 0, 35, or X:
If your TVS and THS intersect at a block with an “X” the conguration is not possible.
For venting congurations that intersect at 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 horizontal 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. Please use the following graph to determine if you will need to use a restrictor.
Loosen these two Phillips 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 and warm air out. The
framing cannot interfere with the air ow. The Room Air Inlet is required and must be free of obstruction or foreign objects.
The Warm Air Outlet is part of your enclosure design, is provided by you and MUST be included. If the replace is allowed to
become too warm it will automatically turn o and will not operate until it cools to a safe temperature.
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 on the following page.
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 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 standard control system consists of three major components; the receiver, the remote control and the gas valve.
The remote control is the device by which you operate the replace. The receiver and the gas control are at one end of a line set
which will extend approximately 12”/305 mm from either end 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. Be sure to remove all wraps and ties.
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.
*** NOTE! ***
While looking at the front of the replace, the line set will extend a MAXIMUM of 10” past the replace body on either the left or
right side.
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 of the main valve opening.
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.
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.
Note: The cooling fans will turn on as soon as the Fan Snap Switch reaches its set point. Ensure that the fans are free to spin
and can properly move air through the system. The fans will turn off when the Shutoff Snap Switch reaches its set point and
subsequent start attempts are not possible until the 2nd thermocouple cools down.

center panel must be inserted in between the burner tubes. The pilot ame must be visible through the hearth panel and the pilot
shield.
Evenly scatter the contents of the bag of stones/glass over the top of the hearth panel and burner. Ensure that none of the stones/
glass enters the pilot area or restricts the operation of the 2nd thermocouple.
The arrangement is now complete. However, it is important to check that the pilot ame is still visible.
A shows the arrangement for stones; the arrangement for glass is similar.

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. ENSURE THAT ALL WIRING AND CABLES ARE CLEAR OF ALL OF THE FANS!
3. Conrm that the gas valve is properly connected and bled by a certied gas technician or plumber.
4. Check the gas supply for leaks and proper pressure. --- Refer to the table in “Appliance Ratings” section.
5. Check that the venting is unobstructed and in proper working condition.
6. PROPERLY PLACE, CLAMP, AND SEAL THE GLASS PANELS.
7. Ensure the receiver is plugged in with AC Adapter OR Batteries... NOT BOTH.
8. Place the (2) 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 (see below).
9. 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.
As the replace warms the fans will start and blow room air between the Inner Glass Panel and the Outer Glass Panel. If the panels
get too hot the replace will shut o. Check that airow is unobstructed through the replace enclosure.
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.
When the replace is turned o the fans will continue to blow as they cool the panels down to a safe temperature.
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.

MAINTENANCE
REMOVING AND CLEANING THE GLASS
OVERVIEW
The glass panels on this replace are held in place by a number of
retaining bolts and gasketed clamps. These instructions will show you
how to remove and install the clamps and glass panels.
Please read these instructions completely before proceeding.
Ensure that the glass is cool to the touch before proceeding.
TOOLS REQUIRED
• No. 2 Phillips screwdriver (not included)
• two small at screwdrivers
• Gloves (not included)
• Suction Cup
REMOVING THE GLASS PANELS
Step 1.
The Outer Glass Panels are held in place with a rope gasket within a
top and bottom channel. Gently pull the rope gaskets from the top
and bottom channels.
Step 2.
For each Outer Glass Panel, attach the suction cup to the center of the
glass and lift the glass up into the clearance notch.
When the glass panel is raised into the clearance notch there is
enough clearance to swing the lower edge of the glass panel out into
the room.
Side Trim
Bottom Trim
When the glass panel is outside of the frame, lower the glass panel out
of the clearance notch and carefully, and securely, set the panel aside.
Step 3.
Beginning with the two vertical SideTrims, remove all ve of the trim
pieces from the replace. The trim pieces are held rmly in place with
magnets. Two small screwdrivers will
help pry the Bottom Trims up and
reduce bending Trim.
Step 4.
Gasketed clamps hold the edges
of the Inner Glass Panels in place.
Unscrew the retaining bolt(s) holding
the glass clamp and then remove the
clamp. Remove all of the retaining
bolts and clamps holding Inner Glass Panels.
Element4 Gas Fireplaces EuropeanHome.com

MAINTENANCE
Step 5.
For each Inner Glass Panel, attach the suction cup and remove as done with the Outer
Glass Panels.
CLEANING THE GLASS
The glass should be cleaned as necessary with a replace glass cleaner. We recommend
Stove Bright® Gas Appliance Glass Cleaner by Forrest Paint Co. It is available through
your retailer.
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.
INSTALLING THE GLASS
Install the glass panels in reverse order of their removal.
Step 1.
Lift an Inner Glass Panel up into the clearance notch and swing the lower edge of the glass panel against the rebox gasket. Set a
glass clamp into place and hold it loosely into place with a retaining bolt. DO NOT tighten the retaining bolt yet.
Step 2.
Repeat Step 1 with the remaining Inner Glass Panels.
Step 3.
Center the short glass panel, left and right, on the replace and screw the retaining bolts into the lower glass clamp until the bolts
touch the glass clamp. Repeat for the remaining glass clamps on this glass panel.
Step 4.
Slide the adjoining glass panels against the installed glass panel.
Step 5.
While ensuring that the glass panels are tight and square to each another, tighten the retaining bolt(s)
on each clamp NO MORE THAN ½ TURN past nger tight.
Step 6.
Set the three Bottom Trims into place and ensure a tight t at the outer corners.
Ste p 7.
Set the two Side Trims into place and ensure a tight t against the Bottom Trims
Step 8. Lift a long Outer Glass Panel up into its clearance notch and swing the lower edge of the glass
in, and down, into the channel. Repeat for the other long panel.
Step 9. Lift the short Outer Glass Panel up into its clearance notch and swing the lower edge of the
glass in, and down, into the channel.
Step 10.
Gently push the rope gasket into the outer channel ensuring that the gasket is pushed into the channel until it is ush with the edge
of the channel.
PROPERLY PLACE, CLAMP AND SEAL THE GLASS PANEL(S) BEFORE LIGHTING THE FIRE!

THERMOCOUPLE MAINTENANCE
The Element4 replaces have two thermocouples; one next to
the pilot and one opposite the pilot side of the main burner. The
completeness and operation of both must be checked. A qualied
installer must conrm that both thermocouples are in place and
not damaged. While checking the thermocouple, please ensure
that the ignitor rod is not cracked as well.
VENT MAINTENANCE
The following venting system inspection by a qualied service
technician is recommended every six months:
1. Inspect for excessive condensation, e.g. water droplets
forming in the inner lining and subsequently dripping out of
the joints. This can cause corrosion in the system.
2. Check for corrosion in areas exposed to the elements.
Where rust spots or holes have appeared, these must be
immediately replaced.
3. Ensure that there is no foreign material in the vents. Survey
by removing the cap and shining a light down the vent.

1. Install a single-gang electrical workbox (not supplied) at the
desired location - no more than 26 feet as the cable runs.
2. While keeping the black connector (A) inside the work box,
thread the black 4-wire cable through the workbox and bring
the red connector (B) to the location of the receiver.
3. Connect the black connector (A) to the wall switch, the red
connector (C) to the receiver.
4. Test for proper operation then screw the wall switchplate to
the workbox with the two screws provided and attach the
faceplate (included).

APPENDIX FOUR
CONNECTING TO A SMART HOME SYSTEM (Smart Home System Cable)
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.
