enclosure design

Additional openings in the enclosure are not acceptable since the DHC™ system relies on the "chimney effect"
created through the appliance and the enclosure.
By adding additional air inlet(s) to an enclosure, air can bypass the appliance, which increases the operating
temperature of the appliance and around the appliance opening. This is counterproductive to the benefi ts of heat
management and, in extreme cases, the appliance may become hot enough for the high limit switch to trip.
note:
The outside of the enclosure must be fi nished on all four sides and must include a complete fl oor.
