The European Home warranty will be voided by, and European Home disclaims any
responsibility for, the following actions:
• Modication of the replace and/or components including Direct Vent assembly or
glass doors.
• Use of any component part not manufactured or approved by European Home in
combination with this European Home replace system.
• Installation other than as instructed in this manual.
Consult your local Gas Inspection Branch on installation requirements for factory-
built gas replaces. Installation and repairs should be done by a qualied contractor.
Installations in Canada must conform to the current CAN/CGA B-149.1 and .2 Gas
Installation Code and local regulations. If the optional air-circulating fan kit is installed,
it must be electrically grounded in accordance with CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical
Code Part 1 and/or Local Codes.
Installations in the USA must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes
to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-1988. If the optional air-circulating fan
is installed, it must be grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1987. Within the State
of Massachusetts this replace must comply with NFPA-54 Chapter 10.
CAUTION!
Due to its high operating temperatures, the appliance should be located
out of trac and away from furniture and draperies.
 Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of the
high surface temperature, which could cause burns or clothing
ignition.
 Young children should be carefully supervised when they are in
the same room as the appliance.
 Clothing or other ammable materials should not be placed on
or near the appliance.
WARNING!
When this appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or any combustible
material other than wood ooring, it must be installed on a metal or wood
panel extending the full width and depth of the appliance.
What is Combustible?
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.
The combustibility of a material can be tested per "ASTM E136 Standard Test Method
for Behavior of Materials in a Vertical Tube Furnace at 750 Degrees C". Note that 're-
resistant' does NOT mean non-combustible.
Note: If a certain material has a core considered to be non-combustible (in accordance
with ASTM E136) but is faced with a combustible material then the material is
considered to be combustible.
When in doubt, ask for an ASTM E136 compliance statement.
What is Non-combustible?
A given material is said to be non-combustible when it cannot catch re and burn.
For example, materials made entirely, or in combinations, of, stone, brick, concrete,
tile, steel, plaster or glass are considered non-combustible.
For the purposes of the installations described in this Manual, those materials that
have passed the ASTM E136 tests are considered to be non-combustible.
As of this writing, the materials listed below are reported by their manufacturers to
be non-combustible (in accordance with ASTM E136):
• James Hardie Building Products, Inc.:
HardieBacker™ ¼” Cement Board
• U.S. Architectural Products, Inc.:
Versaroc® Cement Bonded Particle Board
Cem-Clad® Cement Panel

Installation
Installing the Fireplace Shell
The DV 38 ST replace may be installed in any location that maintains proper clear-
ances to air conditioning ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing. Safety, as well as
eciency of operation, must be considered when selecting the replace location. Try
to select a location that does not interfere with room trac, has adequate ventilation,
and oers an accessible pathway for Direct Vent installation. Refer to page 5 - Vent
Installation for more information.
The replace dimensions are shown below:
When installing a shelf over the top of the replace, the following clearances apply:
For rear vent applications, the minimum clearance from the top of the DV 38 ST
replace to a shelf is 10". For top vent applications, the minimum clearance is 17½".
Minimum 2" clearance must still be maintained around the vent pipes.
Figure 2. Framing dimensions.
Framing
Top View
Front View Side View
Clearances
These clearances apply to all dimensions except the framed opening, where the
clearance to combustibles is 0". The DV 38 ST clearance to unprotected combustible
walls which are perpendicular to the replace opening, must not project beyond the
shaded area shown in Figure 25.
For protection against freezing temperatures, it is recommended that outer walls of
the chase be insulated with a vapor barrier. This will reduce the possibility of a cold-air
convection current on the replace.

Installation
Installing the Gas Line
The gas line must be installed before completing the installation of the DV 38 ST
Fireplace. Natural Gas requires a minimum inlet gas supply pressure of 5.5" w.c.
and a manifold pressure of 3.5" w.c. Propane Gas requires a minimum inlet gas
supply pressure of 11" w.c. and a manifold pressure of 10" w.c. Provision must also
be made for a ⁄" N.P.T. plugged tapping and be accessible for test gauge connection
immediately upstream of the gas supply controls to the appliance. The replace gas
connection and the main operating gas valve is located behind the removable trim
at the bottom of the unit and need only be attached to the gas line with an approved
tting, as required by the applicable installation codes.
• Only use gas shut-o valves approved for use by the state, province, region, or
governing body, in which the appliance is being installed, or as required by the
applicable installation codes.
• Flexible gas connectors must not exceed 3 feet in length, unless it is allowable within
applicable installation codes.
The appliance and its individual shut-o valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of ½ psig (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shut-o valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa).
Note: After the gas line is connected, each appliance connection, valve and
valve train must be checked while under normal operating pressure
with either a liquid solution, or leak detection device, to locate any
source of leak. Tighten any areas where bubbling appears or leak is
detected until bubbling stops completely or leak is no longer detected.
DO NOT use a ame of any kind to test for leaks.

Vent Installation
This section covers the installation of direct venting and terminations.
Installation Requirements
QDV 38 ST model replaces are certied for use with European Home venting components
(5"/8").
QMinimum clearance to combustible construction around the vent pipe is 1" on all
sides, except on horizontal venting where the top of the pipe must have a clear-
ance of at least 2".
QUse only certied European Home vent components. The use of other parts will void the
European Home warranty, and may impede the operation of the replace.
QAll joints must be secured with a minimum of three screws per joint.
QVent terminations must not be recessed in walls or siding.
QHorizontal runs must be supported by a minimum of two supports per horizontal run. A
minimum of one screw on each side of support is also required.
QFlex vent sections may be stretched up to 50% of their total length, e.g. a 24" section
may be stretched to 36".
QFlex vent sections over 6 feet must fall within the limits set by the venting graph and must
have a minimum vertical rise of 3 inches per foot of ex.
QSolid vent sections may be cut less than half way from the female end.
QVenting components can be used in any combination of solid/rigid pipe or ex pipe and
in any orientation, i.e. male connectors can face in any direction.
Installing the Remote Switch
The DV 38 ST gas valve is located behind the lower trim and may be connected to a
wall switch. The valve generates its own power on a millivolt circuit. Use only low
voltage wire and DO NOT connect any external power to it.
Note: The low voltage wire must not exceed 30' from the replace.

Side Vent Venting Requirements
If your installation requires more than 12" of horizontal venting, some vertical lift
is required. Use the vent graph below to determine an acceptable vent run. Unac-
ceptable venting can aect the replace performance.
 The maximum horizontal vent run is 16 feet
The Venting Graph
Measure the vertical height from the replace hearth to the center of the termina-
tion and the horizontal run from the from the replace ue collar to the wall ange
of the termination. Plot on the Venting Graph (Figure 13) with an 'X'.
If the 'X' falls on or above the top boundary of the shaded area, the installation is
acceptable.
Example A: (Acceptable Installation)
If the vertical dimension from the hearth is 60", and the horizontal run to
the wall ange of the vent termination is 52" then the vent conguration is
acceptable.
Example B: (Acceptable Installation)
If the vertical dimension from the hearth is 108" and the horizontal run to
the wall ange of the vent termination is 120" then the vent conguration is
acceptable.
Example C: (Unacceptable Installation)
If the vertical dimension from the oor of the replace is 48" and the hori-
zontal run to the wall ange of the vent termination is 102" then the vent
conguration is NOT acceptable.
Figure 13. DV 38 ST Side Vent Venting Graph
Installation
Horizontal Vent Installation
Vent systems that terminate through a wall may be comprised of up to seven dif-
ferent component types:
Short Congurations:
For installations straight through the wall, use an PTO-4/4F termination and PXT-5
or PXT-10 to achieve the desired length. The maximum horizontal vent run with no
vertical lift is 12". See Figures 14 and 15.
Figure 14. Short horizontal installation.
Heat Shields
Due to high ue temperatures, the heat shield (RHS101) must be used on all in-
stallations straight through the wall, at the point where the vent pipe connects
to the termination. With the heat shield, vent clearances can be maintained at 1".
The heat shield is not included with the replace.
To install the heat shield, slide one section over the vent pipe on the inside of the
wall opening, with the circular portion inside the wall cavity. Screw the shield in
place over the wall opening. Install the second section on the outside of the wall
opening sliding the circular portion into the wall opening. Refer to Figure 15.

Example:
A 10' section of rigid pipe and a 90° elbow may be used in conjunction with a 3 ft.
ex section (PFL-3) will, when extended in a chase, allow for a maximum horizon-
tal run of twelve and one-half feet from the center of the replace to outside wall
and a minimum of 7'6" when retracted in opposite direction. (See Figure 16.)
"D" ex sections and "E" solid sections may be used in conjunction with one an-
other to obtain dierent possible horizontal length installations. NOTE: Flex section
must not exceed maximum horizontal length of 3 feet and for this application the
top clearance is to the ceiling.
Long Vent Runs
For longer or more complex vent runs, vertical lift is required. First ensure that the
planned run is acceptable using the Vent Graph. Plan out the required components
using the chart above. You may be able to use fewer components using the chart,

Reduced Vertical Installation
(Available with Linear LDVPV47 Power Vent ONLY)
It is possible to reduce vertical vent runs from 5"/8" venting to 4"/7" venting. Reduced
vertical venting may only be used when the Linear (In-line) Power Vent is required.
This is commonly due to longer than normal vent runs, or unusually long horizontal
Vent runs.
Installing the Horizontal and
Vertical Exterior Power Vent
A power vent is required where the termination is located too far away from the gas
replace and/or if the vent run is beyond the scope of this document, or the speci-
cations recommend vent augmentation. There are four 4/7 power vent models

When selecting the nish material for your replace, it is important to remember
the following: THE OPENING MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY - to do so
restricts the air supply for the control compartments and heat exchanger it also
prevents access for servicing controls.
The face of the replace may be painted to match the room decor, provided you use
a heat-resistant paint. Decorative facing must not extend past the replace opening
at all, because it will interfere with the access to retainers for removal of glass door.
Finishing Around the Fireplace
Combustible mantels and moldings may be safely installed over the top and on the
front of the replace provided that they do not project beyond shaded area shown in
Figure 24. Side wall clearances are 3". Combustible surrounds may be installed with
3" clearance to the side of the replace as shown in Figure 25.

Mantels and Surrounds
NOTE: National Canadian Gas Association mantel test requirements are for re hazard
prevention to combustible materials.
New technology, to meet consumer and government demands for the wise use of
energy, has prompted us to manufacture many models of replaces which are hot,
fuel and energy ecient.
Please be aware that temperatures over the mantel will rise above normal room
temperature and walls above replace may be hot to the touch.
Figure 25. Combustible surrounds, both sides typical.
Wiring for the optional Fan Kit
All DV 38 ST replaces may be equipped with optional fan kits for circulating heat
into the living space.
Installations in Canada which employ the fans must be electrically grounded in
accordance with CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and/or Local Codes.
Installations in the USA which employ the fans must be grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70-1987.
For more information see the Fan Kit Installation Guide included with the fan kit.
NOTE: If any of the original wire supplied with the appliance is replaced, it must be
replaced with the same type, or its equivalent.

WARNING!
We recommend careful consideration be given to the eects of elevated
mantel temperatures which may be in excess of product design, for example:
candles, plastic or pictures. This can cause melting, deformation, discoloration
or premature failure of T.V. and radio components.
Painting
The Master Painters and Decorators Association recommend special care when painting
the replace surrounds. A quality alkyd sealer should be applied prior to the application
of latex paints. This is to prevent leaching of water from evaporation and causing a
brownish staining eect to paint over coats.

General
QHave the replace and installation inspected yearly. The inspection must
include, but is not limited to, the following:
• A visual check of the entire vent system and termination.
• An inspection of the explosion relief appers and the door gasketing to
ensure a proper seal.
• An inspection of the burner, venturi, and primary air openings.
• An inspection of the gas valve, gas components, and pilot ame. For your
convenience a ⁄" manifold pressure tap is supplied on the gas valve for a
test gauge connection. See Figure 32.
• Inspection of all optional equipment; fans, thermostats, etc.
QFor Natural Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure of 5.5" w.c.
and a manifold pressure of 3.5" w.c.
QFor Propane Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure of 11" w.c.
and a manifold pressure of 10" w.c.
QAlways keep the replace area clear and free of combustible materials, as well
as gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids.

Burner Adjustment
The DV 38 ST is equipped with an adjustable burner, allowing you to raise or lower
the ames. To adjust the ames, locate the black knob marked 'Hi-Lo', in the center
of the gas control valve (See Figure 32).
QTo raise the ame height, turn the black knob (located behind the lower trim)
counter-clockwise.
QTo lower the ame height, turn clockwise.
Figure 32. 'Hi-Lo' Adjustment on the DV 38 ST gas valve.
Cleaning
When the replace is rst activated, there may be some smoking and a visible lm
may be left on the glass. This is a normal condition, and is the result of burning of
protective coatings on new metal.
QGlass must be cleaned periodically to remove any lm (which is a normal by-
product of combustion) which may be visible. Film can easily be removed by
removing the door, as shown on page 12. Handle the door carefully, and clean it
with non-abrasive glass cleaners. One of the most eective products is Kel Kem.
QSilicone seals on inner door during initial ring will "o gas", leaving a visual
deposit of a white substance on combustion chamber walls. This can easily be
removed using normal household products.
QUse a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control compartment, burner,
and rebox free from dust and lint.
QLinear Burners may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove soot or
other contaminates.
