1.0 general information
!WARNING
• Dynamic Heat Control™ MUST be installed during the installation of the appliance BEFORE appliance venting and gas
are installed.
• Ensure the appliance is completely cool before starting installation.
• To avoid danger of suffocation keep the packaging bag away from babies and children. Do not use in cribs, bed, carriages,
or play pens. This bag is not a toy. Knot before throwing away.
Dynamic Heat Control™ is a system for man-
aging the heat produced by the appliance at and
around the fireplace. The purpose of the Dynamic
Heat Control™ is to move the heat away from
the fireplace to allow it to circulate more effectively
within the living space. By installing the Dynamic
Heat Control™ both the installer and the user gain
considerable benefits, see the following;
Installer:
• Ability to use combustible framing and finishing right up to the fireplace opening.*
• High temperatures above the front of the fireplace opening are significantly reduced eliminating potential degrading
to sensitive finish material (cracks or discoloration).
• No additional electrical, fans, ducts, or manifolds are required which keeps installation straightforward.
User:
• Heat is circulated more consistently throughout the living space increasing comfort in front of the fireplace.
• Increased “real world” efficiency as heat is moved into the room rather than retained inside the enclosure.
• Complete flexibility in selection of finish materials.
• Ability to place a TV, sound bar or artwork above the fireplace.**
The Dynamic Heat Control™ system relies on an optimized flow of air both through the appliance and the enclosure.
As such the installation of the Dynamic Heat Control™ system requires certain technical considerations when com-
pared to traditional fireplaces. Specifically, the Dynamic Heat Control™ requires the enclosure to be ventilated and
requires the installer to ensure that a minimum air outlet opening area is provided to allow heat to escape and circulate
at a prescribed minimum height and position. This must be carefully adhered to in the planning and the installation to
ensure the appliance functions safely and to minimize installation time.
*In most common installation configurations, some specific installations require special provisions.
See “minimum clearance to combustible enclosures” section for details. Ensure to strictly adhere to in-
structions.
** Always check appliance manufacturers’ recommendations to confirm suitability and any special
environmental limitations. For valuable or antique items, always refer to expert preservation instructions as
some items require specifically controlled temperature and/or humidity.

!WARNING
• Do NOT cover or place any items in the Dynamic Heat Control™ air outlet. Failure to comply with these instructions will
create a fire hazard.
• Ensure air flow within the air passage is not restricted in any way with the exception of approved venting.

No materials of any type

come in on one side or

cross the appliance and
be at least 7” from the
centre of the venting.
Air flow in the shaded area must not be restricted in any way with the exception of an approved appliance vent
system. No other items are allowed in this area.
Deflector
Clearance to Fire Sprinkler
If there is a fire sprinkler system installed in close proximity to the air outlet opening of your appliance, the following
installation parameters must be adhered by:
• Follow the sprinkler head manufacturer’s instructions regarding proximity to heat sources.
• In the absence of specific requirements, a minimum 60” (152cm) recommended clearance, in length, between
any point of the air outlet opening and fire sprinkler head.
• Verify the sprinkler head sensor is set to proper heat settings to prevent activation during appliance operation
(see fire sprinkler manufacturer’s instructions).
• If in doubt it is recommended to measure the temperature adjacent to the sprinkler head during installation,
after the appliance has been operating continuously for at least 2 hours.
• Follow local building codes to ensure compliance.

Installation Option 1 (open enclosure) leaves a complete air outlet opening above the enclosure to provide the
necessary air circulation path for the Dynamic Heat Control™ system. This has been found to be well accepted
with respect to final appearance and offer minimal distraction. It also allows for efficient circulation of air within the
room. This option offers the simplest method for framing and installation. Limit the air outlet opening height to 4”
to reduce the risk of items inadvertly falling into the enclosure. The air outlet opening must extend around the
entire perimeter, or the entire front face of the enclosure, where the enclosure runs from wall to wall.

Installation Option 2 (front 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 the air outlet opening centered on the appliance center.
Minimum air outlet opening dimensions must be followed. Framing the air outlet opening lower will overheat the
appliance, the enclosure, and finishing material.

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 finishing material.
Increasing the air outlet opening will allow the appliance, the barrier, the temperatures on the surfaces above the fireplace
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..
note:
2.3 installation option 3 - rear opening
!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 configuration 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 flow and will cause the appliance, safety barrier, and finishing materials to overheat, creating a fire
hazard.

Installation Option 4 (open enclosure with hard combustible valance) is similar to Installation Option 1 with the
addition of a hard combustible valance. Minimum opening dimensions and valance dimensions must be followed.
Restricting air movement within the valance area will overheat the appliance, the enclosure, and finishing
material.
Dynamic Heat Control™ can be installed with both front and rear air outlet openings to allow heat to circulate in two rooms,
however, it is recommended to install the air outlet opening at different heights that meet the installation parameters for aesthetic
purposes. For Dynamic Heat Control™ Plus, a second opening MUST NOT be installed.
note:
NOT suitable for Dynamic Heat Control™ Plus
Air outlet opening must be at least con-
tinuous around the top of the enclosure
for a valance to be permitted. Using
the minimum air outlet opening from
Installation Option 2 and Option 3
is not permitted and will overheat the
appliance.

2.5 installation option 5 - side openings
Suitable for Dynamic Heat Control™ Plus
Installation Option 5 (side openings) requires two (2) air outlet openings to be framed no more than 1.5” below
the enclosure top to avoid trapping heat in the upper areas and the air outlet opening centered on the appliance
center. Minimum air outlet opening dimensions must be followed. Framing the air outlet opening lower will
overheat the appliance, the enclosure, and finishing material.
