THERMOCOUPLE MAINTENANCE
The Element4 fireplaces have two thermocouples; one next
to the pilot and one opposite the pilot side of the burner. The
completeness and operation of both must be checked. A qualified
installer must confirm 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 qualified 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.
PROPANE (LP) CONVERSION KIT
An optional LP Conversion Kit (p/n E4-SA-LPCK-1) is available to convert from Natural Gas (NG) to Propane (LP) gas. This
kit includes the required orifices and an installation guide. This conversion must be completed by a certified installer or
gas technician. The orifice for the burner is shown below. The
NG
orifices are marked 650,
LP
orifices are marked 220.
