installation option 3 - rear opening

Installation Option 3 (rear opening) requires an air outlet opening to be framed no more than 1.5" below the
enclosure top to avoid trapping heat in the upper areas and centered on the appliance center. Minimum air outlet
opening dimension must be followed. The opening is required. Framing the rear opening lower will overheat
the appliance, the enclosure, and fi nishing material.
Dynamic Heat
Control™ rear air
outlet opening must
be located out of
reach of the user.
Opening must not
be restricted by fur-
nishings or decor.
Air outlet opening is required to be centered with the appliance.
WARNING
!
• When using a rear air outlet opening, it is critical that the adjoining room or living spaces are in direct
air communication (i.e. of an open plan confi guration or connected by a permanently open doorway
or archway). This prevents the appliance from being in a negative pressure more than that of the ad-
joining room. Failure to follow these requirements can result in reversing the Dynamic Heat Control™
air fl ow and will cause the appliance, safety barrier, and fi nishing materials to overheat, creating a fi re
hazard.
note:
Increasing the air outlet opening will allow the appliance, the barrier, the temperatures on the surfaces above the fi replace
opening, and the enclosure be at cooler temperatures. It will also allow the air to circulate more effectively in the room. How-
ever, if the appliance is equipped with the Dynamic Heat Control™ Plus, then the opening size must be 120 sq. in..
