Appliance Preparation
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 knockouts on the top of
the appliance. 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.
Note
: Do this BEFORE final positioning of the appliance.
• Determine the location for the air register/fan housing
assembly.
Heat Managment Option:
• Passive Heat (PH-FRT-LINEAR, PH-SIDE-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.
