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.
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 ports on the top of the
appliance. Either one or two Heat-Zone
®
-Gas Kits may
be installed.
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. See
Figure 6.5.
Note

Heat Management System options are:
•
HEAT-ZONE
®
-
GAS: The heat is diverted into an
adjacent room.
• HEAT-OUT-GAS: The heat is diverted outside the
home/building.
•
Smart-Wall™ TV Kit: The warm air from the appliance
is conveyed through an air duct to remote locations in
the same room or other rooms of the building.
• Passive Heat (PH-LINEAR): The heat is vented into
the room in which the appliance is installed through a
discharge opening(s).
WARNING! Risk of Fire!
DO NOT block passive heat
registers! Overheating of appliance and combustible
materials will occur.
The RAVE-IFT-B models may utilize two Heat
Management Systems, but not all are compatible.
The HEAT-OUT-GAS kit may be used with either HEAT-
ZONE
®
-GAS or one of the Passive Heat options.
Passive Heat may be used with HEAT-OUT-GAS or
one
