Room Air In
Warm Air Out
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 panels, the fireplace has a Glass Safety Barrier between the room and the flames. This Glass Safety Barrier
uses fans to move room air between two layers of viewing glass thus providing warm air to the room.
For proper operation, the Glass Safety Barrier (GSB) needs two openings; a
room air inlet
through which room air is drawn in and an
warm air outlet
opening out which warm air can flow.
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.
