B. Prepare For Heat Management
Introduction
An optional heat management system allows the heat from
the appliance to be redirected as desired.
An optional heat management system must be installed by
a qualified service technician at the time of the appliance
installation. Follow the instructions shipped with the kit for
installation and operation.
Heat Managment Option:
• Passive Heat (PH-FRT-LINEAR, PH-SIDE-LINEAR):
The heat is vented into the room in which the appliance
is installed through a discharge opening(s).
NOTICE: Additional clearances are required for heat
management systems installations. Provisions must be
made in advance to ensure fit within the framing.
• Determine the heat management system(s) that will be
installed.
• Locate the two heat management knockouts on the top of
the appliance. See Figure 6.2. Remove the knockouts
from the appliance with a tin snips.
• Center the duct collar or passive heat adapter around
the exposed hole and attach it to the appliance.
Note: Do this BEFORE final positioning of the appliance.
• Determine the location for the air register/fan housing
assembly.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT block passive heat
registers!
Overheating of appliance and combustible
materials will occur.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! DO NOT remove a knockout
unless a heat management system will be installed in its
place. Appliance and combustible materials will overheat.
