The Komfort Zone Kit and Vented Cavity design options have specific
framing requirements, mantel requirements, and exterior trim
dimensions. The appliance convection baffles and outer shell cover
plates must be removed for heat distribution required by cavity
framing designs.

Full enclosure framing requirements in Section 3.5.2 Rough
Framing on page 18 will apply to the vented cavity and KZK
installation. Shelf enclosure framing is not allowed for these
design options.

All minimum required dimensions must be maintained after all
finishing materials are installed.
1. Remove the (4) top cover plates that correspond to the vented
cavity options for the single opening vented cavity, the dual

will also have to be removed. See the
