WARMTH AND BEAUTY - HOW IT WORKS

This Element4 fireplace is a direct vent fireplace and, as such, the intake and exhaust air moves through the vent pipe. To lower the

temperature of the glass panel(s), the fireplace 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; an

air inlet

into which room air is drawn and an

air outlet

which allows warm air to escape.

The

inlet

, for room air in, and the

outlet

, for warm air out, are built into the walls which enclose the fireplace and are part of your

design.

See the

ENCLOSING the FIREPLACE

section of this manual for more information.
