3.1 Installation Planning
This appliance offers several design options for managing the heat
produced by this fireplace.
Read all documentation for your specific installation
and design options prior to appliance installation.
•
Standard Installation
will be outlined in this manual in sections
marked ‘standard installation’ and must be followed
if no design
options (vented cavity, Heat Transfer Kits, and Komfort Zone Kit) are
to be used.
•
Heat Transfer Kit(s)
allows you to transfer heat to a specific area
inside your home (interior) or directly outside (exterior). This
appliance can have (2) heat transfer kits installed at the same
time. It can be up to two of the same heat transfer kits, or a
combination of interior and exterior kits. See the HTK-EXT and/
or HTK-INT manuals for further information.
If you are planning an installation with the use of an exterior
and/or interior kit without the use of the vented cavity
option or Komfort Zone Kit, the minimum dimensions listed
in Section 3.9.3 Vented Cavity and Komfort Zone Kit Rough
Framing on page 23 will apply for your framing installation.
Since a vented cavity option or Komfort Zone Kit is not applied,
the requirements in Section 4.1 Standard Installation Facing and
Finishing Requirements on page 28 must be followed. You will
still need to remove the cover plates as instructed in Section 3.8
•
Vented Cavity
offers the option to leave a minimum sized
opening in the fireplace cavity, allowing for heat reduction above
the fireplace. This option allows for combustible facing materials
above the fireplace, heat reduction for a TV above the fireplace,
and lower mantel clearances.
All vented cavity options have different minimum chamber and
ceiling dimension requirements
when compared to the standard
installation dimensions in this section.
The fireplace chamber
and ceiling minimum height must be 76” (1930mm) for all
vented cavity options. Reference Section 3.9 Vented Cavity and
KZK Installation on page 21 and Section 4.5 Vented Cavity and
KZK Facing and Finishing Requirements on page 34.
•
Komfort Zone Kit
offers the option to redistribute radiant heat
through plenum(s). This option allows for combustible facing
materials above the fireplace, heat reduction for a TV above the
fireplace, and lower mantel clearances. See Section 3.9 Vented
Cavity and KZK Installation on page 21 and Section 4.5 Vented
Cavity and KZK Facing and Finishing Requirements on page
If installing a Komfort Zone Kit (#KZK-054 or #KZK-
1510A), please reference the manual included with your kit
before completing all fireplace framing and other installation
considerations.
Please read the instructions in this manual carefully for your
specific installation.
3.2 Appliance Placement Considerations
WARNING: Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located
out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
•
This appliance must be installed on a level surface capable
of supporting the fireplace and venting. If possible, place the
fireplace in a position where the vent terminates between two
studs, eliminating the need for any additional framing.
•
This fireplace may be installed in a bedroom.
•
Please be aware of the large amount of heat this fireplace will
produce when determining a location.
