CAUTION!
Due to its high operating temperatures, the appliance should be
located out of trac 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.
Installing The Fireplace Shell
The DV 42 ST replace may be installed in any location that maintains proper clearances to air conditioning ducts, electrical wiring and plumbing. Safety, as well as
eciency of operation, must be considered when selecting the replace location. Try
to select a location that does not interfere with room trac, has adequate ventilation,
and oers an accessible pathway for direct vent installation. Refer to page 4 - Vent Installation for more information.

Clearances
When installing a shelf over the top of the replaces, the following must be observed:
For Rear Vent applications, the minimum clearance is 2" from the rear of the replace
to a wall, or any combustible materials, and 12" clearance from the top of the replace
to the underside of any combustible shelf materials.
For Top Vent applications, the minimum clearance is 2" from the rear of the replace
to a wall, or any combustible materials, and 21" to the underside of any combustible
shelf materials.
(Minimum 2" clearance must still be maintained around the vent pipes.)

Gas Installation
FUEL CONVERSION
Verify that your replace is compatible with your available gas type.
If gas type is not compatible, contact your local European Home representative
to purchase a conversion kit.
Conversion kits must be installed by a qualied service technician.
Gas line sizing requirements will be determined in ANSI Z221.3 National
Fuel Gas Code in the USA and CAN/CGA B149 in Canada.
Pressure requirements are:
Gas PressureNatural GasPropane
Minimum inlet pressure5.5in. w.c.11in. w.c.
Manifold pressure3.5in. w.c.10in. w.c.
The manifold outlet pressure is set from the factory to the appropriate
pressure but should be veried.
To check pressures, control valves have a provision to remove a ⁄” NPT plug
to be tted with a hose barb.
European Home requires a service shut o valve be located in an accessible
location to isolate the gas supply.
Only install gas shut-o valves approved for use by the state, province, or
other governing body in which the replace is being installed.
GAS CONNECTION
See Figure 22 below for location of gas line access.
Flexible gas connectors must not exceed 3 feet in length, unless allowable
within local regulations.
Connect incoming gas line to the 1/2"or 3/8" gas inlet port.
Purge all air out of gas line.
Check appliance connection, valve and valve train under normal operating
pressure with a commercially available leak check solution.
DO NOT USE A FLAME OF ANY KIND TO TEST FOR LEAKS.
Vent Installation
This section covers the installation of direct venting and terminations.
Installation Requirements
Q DV 42 ST replace is certied for use with European Home Standard Series (5" / 8")
venting components.
Q 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".
Q Use only certied European Home vent components. (Use of other parts will void the European
Home warranty, and may impede the operation of the replace.)
Q All joints must be secured with a minimum of two screws per joint
Q Vent terminations must not be recessed in walls or siding
Q 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
Q Flex vent sections may be stretched up to 50% of their total length (e.g. a 24" section
may be stretched to 36")
Q 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.
Q Solid vent sections may be cut less than half way from the female end
Q 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)
Cautions:
Q Vent terminations can be very hot. If the termination is less than
7 feet above a public walkway, it should be tted with a certied
European Home Heat Guard. (Part no. PTKOG).
Q Do not obstruct, or attempt to conceal, the vent termination.
These actions will aect the operation of the replace, and may
be hazardous.
Q In heavy snow areas, take extra care to prevent snow buildup from
obstructing the vent termination.
Q Use European Home VSS Vinyl Heat Shield when using on applications
with vinyl siding to guard against possible damage.

Installing The Remote Switch
The DV 42 ST gas valve, located behind the lower trim, 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.

1. Ensure that the two long mounting brackets are facing the bottom of the
termination. (See inset). This will provide more heat protection at the top of
the termination, where temperatures are highest.
2. Attach to the faceplate of the termination using four sheet metal screws.
CAUTION:
Do not obstruct, or attempt to conceal, the vent termination. These actions
will aect the operation of the replace, and may be hazardous.

screws.
3. Insert the termination into the MOSR frame as shown here, and attach by
screwing through the four pilot holes in the termination.

In heavy snow areas, take extra care to prevent snow buildup from obstructing
the vent termination.
Installing the Nailing
Flange Extension
Once the replace is placed into the rough framed opening and the supplied steel
lintel is in place (Part No. L42087) (see Figure 2), the supplied nailing ange
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.
