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 replace may be installed in any location that maintains proper clearances 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 4 - Vent Installation
for more information.
The replace dimensions are shown below:

Clearances
These clearances apply to all dimensions except the framed opening, where the
clearance to combustibles is 0". The DV 52 ST clearance to unprotected combustible
walls which are perpendicular to the replace opening, must not project beyond the
shaded area shown in Figure 24.
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.

Installing The Gas Line
The gas line must be installed before nishing the DV 52 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.
To access the replace gas connection the main burner must be removed
as shown below in Figure 5a.
• 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
Note: After 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.

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).
Vent Installation
This section covers the installation of direct venting and terminations.
Installation Requirements
• DV 52 ST replaces are certied for use with European Home 5"/8" venting components.
• Minimum 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 clearance of at least 2".
• Use only certied European Home vent components. (Use of other parts will void the
European Home warranty, and may impede the operation of the replace.)
• All joints must be secured with a minimum of two screws per joint
• Vent terminations must not be recessed in walls or siding
• Horizontal 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
• Flex vent sections may be stretched up to 50% of their total length (e.g. a 24" section
may be stretched to 36")
• Flex 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.
• Solid vent sections may be cut less than half way from the female end
• Venting components can be used in any combination of solid/rigid pipe or ex pipe and
in any orientation - male connectors can face in any direction
Installing The Remote Switch
The DV 52 ST gas valve, located behind the lower horizontal panel, 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 switch location must not exceed 30' from the replace.

Cautions:
• Vent terminations can be very hot. If the termination is less than
7 feet above a public walkway, it should be tted with a certied
European Home Heat Guard. (Part no. PTKOG).
• Do not obstruct, or attempt to conceal, the vent termination.
These actions will aect the operation of the replace, and may
be hazardous.
• In heavy snow areas, take extra care to prevent snow buildup from
obstructing the vent termination.
• Use European Home VSS Vinyl Shield when using on applications
with vinyl siding to guard against possible damage.

(Available on Linear Power Vent models 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.
NOTES: All dimension lengths for vertical or horizontal runs are measured
from centre of the vent pipe.
Venting runs must fall within the limits set by the venting graph
(see Figure 7b).

Finishing Around the Fireplace
Combustible mantels and mouldings 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.
When selecting the nish material for your replace, it is important to remember
the following:
If the surround of the replace is to be painted to match the room decor, heat-resistant
paint must be provided . Also, 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 and access to the lower compartment.
Figure 24. Combustible mantles and facings.
Horizontal Run (in)
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; temperatures over the mantel will rise above normal room temperature
and walls above replace may be hot to touch.
Warning:
When covering the upper metal portion of the replace with a non-combustible material
Please Note: The decorative facing materials may be subject to temperatures in excess
of 250° F. This should be considered when selecting facing materials.
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:
Special care is recommended by the Master Painters and Decorators Association, when
painting the replace surrounds, to select and apply a quality alkyd sealer prior to the
applying of latex paints. This is to prevent leaching of water from evaporation and
causing a brownish staining eect to paint over coats.
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. These power vents are required for
superior venting, safe operation and years of trouble free operation.
The available European Home Power Vent models are:
LDVPV47 - Linear, Interior In-line Power Vent.
EDVPV47 - External Power Vent.

Maintenance
General
• Have 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, thermostats, etc.
• For Natural Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure of 5.5" W.C.
and a manifold pressure of 3.5" W.C.
• For Propane Gas this appliance requires a minimum inlet pressure of 11" W.C.
and a manifold pressure of 10" W.C.
• Always keep the replace area clear and free of combustible materials, as well
as gasoline and other ammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a
qualied service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of
the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

Burner Adjustment
The DV 52 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 centre of
the gas control valve (See Figure 32). The front burners are not adjustable.
• To raise the ame height, turn the black knob (located behind the lower trim)
counter-clockwise.
• To lower the ame height, turn clockwise.
Figure 32. 'Hi-Lo' Adjustment on the DV 52 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.
• Glass 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.
• Silicone 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.
• Use a vacuum cleaner or whisk broom to keep the control compartment, burner,
and rebox free from dust and lint.
• Linear burners may be cleaned periodically with a vacuum to remove soot or
other contaminates.
'Hi-Lo' Adjustment Knob
CAUTION!
• Fireplace gas control must be in the “OFF” position and pilot and main
burners extinguished when cleaning appliance with a vacuum.
• Doors can get very hot. Handle only when cool.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to clean glass when hot.
Do not clean glass with abrasive materials as any glass etching may
cause premature glass failure.
