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 and Framing the Fireplace
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 5 - Vent Installation
for more information.
The replace dimensions are shown below:
When installing a shelf over the top of the replace, the following must be
observed: For top vent applications, the minimum clearance is 24". (Minimum
clearances must still be maintained around the vent pipes.)
Figure 2. Framing dimensions.
Framing
* Clearance from the top of the replace to a combustible ceiling within the replace enclosure
** Refer to the 'Finishing Around the Fireplace' section of this manual.
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.
Clearances
These clearances apply to all dimensions except the framed opening, where the
clearances to combustibles are 0". The DV 52 clearances to combustible materials are:
Top - Rear Vent * N/A
Top - Top Vent 24
Back 3"
Sides 2"
Floor 0"
Mantle** 4"

Installation
• 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, i.e. connectors can face in any direction.
Vent Terminations
Selecting A Termination Location
Choosing your vent termination location will help to determine whether you need to
use a top vent or rear vent replace. Figure 6a, below, shows typical replace locations
and the venting options they provide.
For a more detailed diagram of allowed termination locations, see Appendix A.
Figure 6a. Fireplace locations and vent terminations.
Installing The Gas Line
The gas line must be installed before nishing the DV 52 Gas 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 ⁄" NPT 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).
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.
Figure 5a. Gas line access.
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 fireplaces are certified for use with European Home standard
(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".
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 Heat Shield when using on applications
with vinyl siding to guard against possible damage.

Top Vented Runs
For a top-vented DV 52, there are two types of installations:
a) through-the-wall and b) through-the-roof
A) Through-The-Wall Installations
Before you install any venting, you must determine whether the venting run will be
acceptable. Unacceptable venting can aect the replace's combustion.
The Venting Graph
Measure the vertical height from the replace hearth to the center of the termination
and the horizontal run from the from the replace ue collar to the wall ange of the
termination. Plot on the Venting Graph (Fig. 9a) with an 'X'.
Installing the Nailing
Flange Extension
Once the replace is placed into the rough framed opening (see Figure 2), and the
supplied steel lintel (p/n L42087) is in place, the supplied nailing extension must
be placed along the top edge of the replace and securely fastened in place to the
metal lintel, and combustible wood framing. Note: The nailing ange extension
can be substituted with a piece of NON-COMBUSTIBLE material of the same size
and thermal characteristics, i.e. cement board or equivalent.

Figure 12. Extended installation using a combination of solid and ex venting. Use
the vent graph to determine your allowable run, then select appropriate
components.
Example 2:
Rigid sections and an elbow used in conjunction with 3 ft. ex section (PFL-3) will,
when extended in a ve foot chase, allow for a maximum horizontal run of 12' 6"from
the center of the replace to outside wall and a minimum of 7'6" when retracted in
the opposite direction. See Figures 12 and 13.
"C" ex sections and "D" rigid sections may be used in conjunction with one another
to obtain dierent possible horizontal length installations. NOTE: Flex section with
no vertical rise must not exceed maximum horizontal length of 3 feet, see Figure 14.
Flex runs over 3 feet must fall within the limits set by the venting graph, and must
have a minimum vertical rise of 3" per foot of ex.
Figure 13. Retracted installation using a combination of solid and ex venting. Use
the vent graph to determine your allowable run, then select appropriate
components.
Figure 14. Horizontal ex installation with minimum vertical rise.
B. Vertical (Through-The-Roof) Installations
Vertical rise >12' can be reduced (on applicable models).
Vertical terminations must be installed:
• minimum 2' (two feet) above the highest point where
vent passes through the roof.
• minimum 6' (six feet) from a mechanical air inlet
• minimum 18" (1½ feet) from a parapet wall.
 Maximum vent height is:
• 32 feet above replace.
Note: Flame characteristics will change if the maximum vent height is used.
 2" minimum clearance between vent and all horizontal combustible materials
must be maintained.
A maximum of two osets (each oset has two 90° bends) may be made and
shall not exceed total length of 25% of the vertical vent height, when measured
center to center of piping.
Using this vent installation example:
• 20' vertical vent
• 2 - 2' osets required
Maximum oset allowed = 25% of 20'or 5'. This venting conguration meets
requirements.

2. 45° Corner Installation.
Attach an PEL-90 (90° elbow) directly onto the ue collar, and attach it to the
PEL-45 (45° elbow). Cut the PXT-18 to suit and insert it into the PEL-45. Slide the
replace into position, and then connect it to the exterior termination.
3. Corner Installation — 45° or less.
Use a PTO-4 termination and an PFL-1 or PFL-2 (12" or 24" compressed length)
and a frame, if appropriate. Flex may be turned to obtain desired degree of angle
required but must not exceed 45°.
IMPORTANT: For both rear vent installations your vent run must fall within the
limits set by the Figure 22c vent graph.
Before you install any venting, you must determine whether the venting run will be
acceptable. Unacceptable venting can aect the replace's combustion.
The Venting Graph
Measure the vertical height from the replace hearth to the center of the termination
and the horizontal run from the from the replace ue collar to the wall ange of the
termination. Plot on the Venting Graph (Figure 22c) with an 'X'.
If the 'X' falls on or above the top boundary of the shaded area, the installation is
acceptable.
B. Multi-Elbow Installations
For more dicult installation situations, a rear-vented DV 52 must be installed with
either one or two 90° elbows as described in a) or b), below:
a) One 90° elbow must be placed directly on the ue collar then place venting
vertically through the roof to the termination.
b) Two elbows as shown in Figure 23 using a minimum vertical lift of 50" (measured

The vent run must comply with Figure 22c.
NOTES: All dimension lengths for vertical or horizontal runs are measured
from center of the vent pipe.
IMPORTANT: Venting runs must fall within the limits set by the
venting graph (see Figure 22c).
Rear Vent Venting Runs
Note: Rear venting has only two congurations!
The DV 52 has only two possible installations in the rear vent conguration; using
one 90° elbow o the back and straight up through the roof of the structure or Figure
23 with two elbows.
Heat Shield
The heat shield (RHS101) must be used on all installations straight through the
wall, at the point where the vent pipe connects to the termination. With the heat
shield, proper vent clearances can be maintained. 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 16b.

About the 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
available. These power vents oer 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 module)
EDVRSPV47 (Exterior vertical roof mount 4/7 stainless steel power vent system)
EDVWSPV47 (Exterior horizontal wall mount 4/7 stainless steel power vent system)
Contact European Home for more information.
WARNING!
When covering the upper metal portion of the replace, up to 6" (as shown,
Figures 24 and 25) with a non-combustible material. Please note that the
decorative facing materials may be subject to temperatures in excess of 250° F.
This should be considered when selecting facing materials.
Fireplace Facing
When selecting the nish material for your replace, it is important to remember
that THE OPENING MUST NOT BE OBSTRUCTED IN ANY WAY. Doing so restricts
the air supply for the control compartments and heat exchanger as well as 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.

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.

Surround Heat Shield
Included with the DV 52 Gas replace is a heat shield fabricated from galvanized steel.
The kit comes with three (3) pieces as shown below. This shield is to protect all adjacent
combustible mantels and moldings from excessive heat radiated by the cabinet of the
replace. This shield must be installed as shown in Figure 24a.
1). Top shield fastened as shown. Wide ange face up, shallow ange toward inside
of room, nailed or screwed ush with framing.
2). Both side shields fastened as shown. Wide anges face out, shallow ange toward
inside of room, nailed or screwed ush with framing.
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
application of latex paints. This helps to prevent leaching of water from evaporation
which can cause a brownish staining to paint overcoats.
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
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 touch.

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; fans, 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.

Lighting Instructions
See pages 17 and 18.
Burner Adjustment
The DV 52 and DV 52 E are 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). 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 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
after removing the door, as shown on page 15. Handle the door carefully, and
clean it with non-abrasive glass cleaners. We recommend Stove Bright® Gas
Appliance Glass Cleaner by Forrest Paint Co. Follow the instructions for use and
do not clean the glass when it is hot! If the glass becomes coated with deposits
which cannot be removed it must be replaced.
• 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.
