Element4 Gas Fireplaces EuropeanHome.com
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.
