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.
FRECORDS
The installer MUST record the serial number and venting conguration to use for any technical issues that
may arise.
FELECTRICAL
An approved 120V AC wall receptacle is required. The receiver MUST be powered by the AC adapter. Four
AA batteries may be used only for on-demand electrical requirement during power outage.
FFIRE 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.
FAIR OUTLETS
The warm air outlets MUST be installed BEFORE the rst light. The amount of square inches needed for the
opening varies from model to model.
FENCLOSING THE FIREPLACE
ONLY a tested and approved non-combustible wallboard that is specied in the manual may be used when
enclosing the replace.
FVENTING
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.
FCONSTRUCTION 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.
FGAS PRESSURES

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 an air outlet. This chase air is then replaced by
room air which enters the chase through the 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.

GAS and ELECTRIC
INSTALLING THE GAS LINE
In accordance with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 (USA) or CAN/CSA-B149.1 (Canada,) correctly size and
route the gas supply line from the supply regulator to the area where the appliance is to be installed.
Never use galvanized or plastic pipe unless is rated for use with gas. Gas supply pipes must be designed, 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 in accordance with all applicable codes and regulations.
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 gas supply line must be properly connected and bled by a certied gastter or plumber.
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
The Element 4 replaces use a receiver and remote control for their burner operation. The remote control comes with two 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 an approved 120V AC receptacle to be placed within the six foot cord limit of the AC adapter.
The receiver MUST be powered by the AC adapter. (4) AA batteries may be used only for on-demand electrical requirement
during a power outage. Remove batteries after use to avoid battery corrosion. Battery corrosion will damage the receiver.
Electrical work must be performed by a qualied, licensed electrician.
WARNING
All wiring shall be in compliance with all local, city, and state codes.

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/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”/75mmmust be maintained between combustible materials and the top
of any horizontal vent pipe surface; a minimum clearance of 1”/25mmmust 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” / 305mmof horizontal run, the
venting must rise ¼” ⁄ 6.5mmtoward the termination. The venting must never run downward unless with the use of a power
vent.
North American Vent Adapter
• 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.
• 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.

VENTING
CONFIGURATION
BEWARE OF ELBOWS
Elbows create resistance to the movement of air through your venting conguration and they must be included when determining
your minimum and maximum vent lengths. There must be a minimum vertical rise of 20”/508mm before any elbow.
Elbows are called either ‘vertical’ or ‘horizontal’ depending on their mounted position. The two types of elbows are:
TYPE N - 45° or 90° elbows which transition from vertical to horizontal and vice versa. This can be called an upright elbow.
TYPE Q - 45° or 90° elbows which transition from horizontal to horizontal. This can be called an at elbow.
No more than four 90° elbows OR eight 45° elbows OR a combination totaling no more than 360° ‘elbow degrees’ are allowed. For
example, a combination of two 90° elbows and two 45° elbows is allowed (90° + 90° + 45°+ 45° equals 270°) but a combination of
three 90° elbows and three 45° elbows is not allowed (the total equals 405°.)
APPLYING THE RESULTS
For the purposes of applying a venting conguration to the vent charts, the rst 270° of elbows do not count but the last 90° do.
That is to say, the rst 270° of elbows (three 90° elbows, six 45° elbows or any combination totaling 270° elbow degrees) are ‘free.’
For an elbow-degree count greater than 270°, the following applies:
• for either Type N elbow you must add 40”/1m to your THS
• for a 90° Ty pe Q elbow you must add 80”/2m to your THS
• for each 45° Type Q elbow you must add 40”/1m to your THS
x
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.
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 these two Phillips head
screws to slide the restrictor on/o.

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 air out
above. The framing cannot interfere with the air ow. The Air Inlet is part of the replace and cannot be changed or adjusted.
The air outlet is part of your enclosure design, is provided by you and MUST be included.
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 around the glass, the platform (oor,) 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 line set and are to be
mounted to the Wall Access Door (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
Wall Access Door has a total opening of 25 in/161 cm through which air must pass into the chase.
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.

The nished wall(s) must be at least ½”/12 mm thick or the replace trim will extend beyond the nished wall. The list below shows
the thickness of the approved wall products.
Your choice of wall material depends largely on the intended nish. For example, a thinner wall product and a layer of stone may be
thick enough to reach the trim edge. If a painted nish is desired then a wall at least ½”/12 mm thick will suce.

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 is connected to the rebox near the center. As shipped, the line set is wrapped together and xed to the replace. Remove
all wraps and ties prior to installation.
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 mounted in the Wall Access Door assembly.
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 in/161 cm) as well as physical, wireless and line set 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.
Wall Access Door Dimensions
The table shows the dimensions and the required rough opening of

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 29 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 thus
preventing the replace from starting. 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 29 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 29 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.
DO NOT OPERATE THE BURNERS WITH THE GLASS OFF FOR MORE THAN THREE (3) MINUTES OR DAMAGE WILL OCCUR!

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 powered with an AC Adapter OR Batteries, NOT BOTH.
7. Place the two (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).
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:
RESET BUTTON
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 ame pattern
should be similar to that show 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!

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!

Any alteration to the product that causes soot or carbon to form and results in damage is not the responsibility of the
manufacturer.
Inspect the external vent cap on a regular basis to make sure that no debris, plants, trees, or shrubs are interfering with the
air ow.
BURNER MAINTENANCE
The ames from the burner should be visually checked. The ame should have a blue base and yellow tops and be candle-like in
appearance.
PILOT MAINTENANCE
The pilot ame must be visually checked. The pilot ame must always be present when the appliance is in operation and should
appear as shown (with hearth panel removed.)
The pilot has two distinct ames, one engulng the thermocouple on its left, the other reaching across to the main burner.
The area around the pilot should be inspected for cleanliness. Lint or foreign material must be removed with a brush or vacuum.

Page 52
MAINTENANCE
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.
4. Check all joints and pipes to make sure that nothing has
been disturbed or loosened.

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 (p/n 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 it from a remote location.
SEqUENCEOF 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
MOdESOF 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.
