general information
1.3 Dynamic Heat Control™
Dynamic Heat Control™
is a system for managing the
heat produced by the appliance at and around the fire-
place. The purpose of the
Dynamic Heat Control™
is
to move the heat away from the fireplace to allow it to cir-
culate more effectively within the living space. By install-
ing 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 de-
grading to sensitive finish material (cracks or discoloration).
• No additional electricals, 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 in to the room rather than retained inside an 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 en-
closure. As such the installation of the
Dynamic Heat Control™
system requires certain technical considerations
when compared to traditional fireplaces. Specifically, the
Dynamic Heat Control™
requires the
enclosure to be
ventilated
and requires the installer to ensure that a minimum 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 “framing with Dynamic Heat Control™ section for details. Ensure to strictly adhere to instructions.
** Always check the appliance manufacturer’s recommendations to confirm suitability and any special
environmental limitations. For valuable or antique items, always refer to expert preservation instruc-
tions as some items require specifically controlled temperature and/or humidity
