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 air is then replaced
by room air which enters the chase just above the replace glass 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
The Modore 240 and Tenore 240 replaces require non- combustible
framing. These are NOT zero-clearance replaces. 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 750 pounds/340 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 50 in.2/322 cm2 of opening(s) centered (front to back) in it to
allow the free ow of air to the replace above. See example below.
MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES
• The appliance is approved with a minimum clearance to
combustible materials of 26”/660 mm to the top, 11”/2 80
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 clearance to non-combustible material is
2”/5 0 mm. (See Figures 7 - 12, clearance shown in red)
• The minimum distance from the bottom of the appliance to
the room ceiling is 72”/1830 mm. (See Figure 15, Table 2)
• When installing the venting the following clearances to
combustible materials MUST be maintained:
a. 3”/76 mmabove any horizontal venting
b. 1”/25 mmto 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 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
valves, electrical wiring, and gas lines) does not impede the full
operation of the relief doors.
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 mmTop: 26”/660 mmFloor: 4”/100 mm
The Floor dimension (above) is measured from the bottom of the
rebox. This allows the feet to sit on the oor giving adequate
clearance in their lowest position.

VENTING
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.
All of the following points apply to every installation:
• The maximum allowable rise is 36’/11.0mand the maximum allowable run is 9’10”/3.0mbut not in combination; see venting
charts beginning page 20.
• The minimum vent conguration is a 39”/1.0mvertical rise to a 90° elbow plus a 19”/0.5mhorizontal run to a wall termination.
• 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.
• When using wall terminations no more than three vertically-oriented 45° or 90° elbows are permitted. See the HORIZONTAL
TERMINATIONS section.
• When using vertical terminations no more than four 90° elbows OR eight 45° elbows OR a combination totaling no more than
360 ‘elbow degrees’. 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°.) These elbows can be
installed either horizontally or vertically.
• 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.
• Whenever venting passes through a wall, an approved heat shield or ‘wall thimble’ must be installed.
• A power vent system is available and must be used for any venting conguration which is outside of the vent graphs.

ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE
When enclosing your Element4 replace the use of non-combustible building materials is REQUIRED.
Please read and understand the following.
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 non-combustible when it cannot catch re and burn.
The table below shows a list of materials which may be used to enclose this replace.
Only these materials may be used with this replace. No other materials are approved for use around this replace.
Products marked with § are recommended for enclosing replaces.

ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE
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 inlet for the room air 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 and 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”/1270mm 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 PROMATECT® building board.
ONLY non-combustible framing must be used to enclose these replaces.
In all cases, the framing/wall around these replaces must NOT be supported by the replace. The enclosing walls must be attached to
another structure which can bear their entire weight and the weight of any attachments to the walls such as TVs, shelves, artwork, etc.
When installing the replace against an existing nished wall, the wall MUST BE completely covered with Skamotec 225 or Promatect
building board. All clearances between the replace and wall MUST BE maintained.
CONVECTION AIR OPENING
A convection air outlet is always required. The opening size of the convection air outlet varies by replace model. Table 3, on page
17, shows the minimum total area required for the various models in this manual. The convection air outlet may take many forms and
must always allow the free ow of warm air up through the chase and out into the room in which the replace is installed. Shown
on the next page are a number of ways to design the convection air outlet into your project.

ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE
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 transmitter and the gas valve.
The transmitter 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 16”/406 mm to the left 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 beneath 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
16”/40 6 mm from the left end 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 transmitter (handheld, remote control) must get to the receiver, inside the
access door.
Note that if the Access Door is not used its equivalent in air, 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 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 or 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 Access Door. Do not kink the lineset and do not bend to a radius of less than 2”/50
mm. See Figure 23.
- Remove the four bolts holding the white door/frame cover to the frame. Separate the frame and cover then mount the Access
Door frame to the rough opening as shown in Figure 24.
- 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 Access Door frame then tighten the bolt through the mounting bosses . See
Figures 25 and 26.
- Set the receiver into the Access Door bracket as shown in Figure 27 and connect the AC adapter.
When mounted, the Access Door should look like that shown in Figure 28.

must be in the ON position. See Figure 31.
On the remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON/OFF andÇbuttons.
An acoustic signal indicates that the start sequence has begun. Release the buttons.
The electronic system then checks that the main gas is owing and ignites the main burner; this may take up to 20 seconds.
Changing the Mode of Operation.
Briey pressing the SET button changes the mode of operation in the following order:
Man - Temp - Temp - Timer - back to Man
Man - Manual Flame Height Adjustment.
To increase the ame, theÇbutton should be depressed. Pressing theÈbutton on the handset will reduce the ame. The main
ame may be lowered all the way down until it is o, leaving only the pilot ignited. This is called standby mode.
Fully Extinguishing the Appliance
From any heat setting, press the OFF button for a few seconds. This will cause the burner to fully extinguish.
The system has a safety interlock which will not allow the ignition until the interlock rests. This may take a few minutes.
The appliance should be shut o completely using the OFF button on the handset and not left on pilot only, except for
temporary use. This resets the system and all safety features.
Temp - Daytime Temperature mode.
The appliance must be in standby mode, pilot ignited. The room temperature is measured and compared to the set temperature.
The ame height is then automatically adjusted to reach the daytime set temperature.

OPERATING the FIREPLACE
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. 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 without the hearth panel in place 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 ve (5) minutes.
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. 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.
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 in Figure 32.
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. (See page 49)
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 panel(s) are held in place by two gasketed clamps (one on
either side with two bolts each) and a rope gasket at the lower edge
of the glass. These instructions require two technicians and will
show you how to remove and install the glass panel(s).
Please read these instructions completely before proceeding.
TOOLS REQUIRED
• No. 2 Phillips screwdriver (not included)
• 2 vacuum clamps (included)
REMOVING THE GLASS
Step 1.
Remove all of the trim pieces (magnetically attached) from the
replace. (See Figure 54) The Tenore has two glass panels, therefore,
twice the number of trim pieces. There is no top trim on either
replace. The trim pieces are held rmly in place with magnets and
will simply lift out. The bottom (horizontal) trim pieces are at the
lower edge of the glass panels and the side (vertical pieces) are
where the glass meets the wall.
Step 2.
The glass panel is held in place by a gasketed glass clamp on the left
and right ends and a rope gasket along the bottom edge. Remove
the retaining bolt(s) holding the glass clamps and then remove the
clamps. (See Figure 55) Gently pull the rope gasket from its channel.
Step 3.
Securely attach a vacuum glass clamp to the glass approximately
24”/600 mm from either end and lift the glass up into the clearance
notch.

With the glass panel raised into the upper rail, swing the lower edge
of the glass panel out towards the room and gently lower the glass
towards the oor until it clears the replace.
Step 4.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the other glass panel, if present.
PROPERLY PLACE, CLAMP 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.

MAINTENANCE
INSTALLING THE GLASS
The glass panel(s) should be installed in reverse order of their removal.
Step 1.
Securely attach the two vacuum glass clamps, each approximately 24”/600
mm from either end. Lift the glass panel up into the upper rail and swing
the lower edge of the glass panel against the rebox gasket. Set the glass
clamps into place and hold them loosely into place with a retaining bolt.
DO NOT tighten the retaining bolts yet.

Step 2.
Ensure that the glass is at against the rebox gasket and centered on the
rebox.
Step 3.
Center the rope gasket on top of the gasket channel (in front of the lower edge of the glass.) While holding the center in place,
gently stretch the gasket while laying it into the gasket channel, left and right. Press the gasket down into the length of the gasket
channel. (See Figure 57)
Step 4.
Hand tighten the bolts onto the glass clamps. Tighten the bolts ¼ turn further.
Step 5.
While ensuring that the glass panels are tight and square to each other, tighten the retaining bolt(s) on each clamp NO MORE
THAN ¼ TURN.

MAINTENANCE
THERMOCOUPLE MAINTENANCE
The Element4 fireplaces have two thermocouples; one next
to the primary thermocouple 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.
