WARNING
!
•
The Ducted Heat Management (DHM) kit MUST be installed during the framing of the appliance BEFORE gas is
installed.
•
All wiring should be done by a qualified electrician and shall be in compliance with local codes. In the absence of local codes,
use the current CSA22.1 Canadian Electric Code in Canada or the current National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70 in the
United States.
•
Installation must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, the National Gas and Propane Installation Code
CSA B149.1 in Canada, or the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54 in the United States.
•
To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the packaging bag away from babies and children. Do not use in cribs, beds, carriages,
or play pens. This bag is not a toy. Knot before throwing away.
•
Ensure the appliance is completely cool before starting installation.
DUCTED HEAT MANAGEMENT
Ducted Heat Management (DHM) is a system for managing the heat produced by the appliance at and around the
fireplace. The purpose of the DHM system is to move the heat away from the fireplace to allow it to circulate more
effectively within the living space. By installing DHM 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 degrading
to sensitive finish material (cracks or discoloration).
•
No additional electrical or fans 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 into the room rather than retained inside the enclosure.
•
Complete flexibility in selection of finish materials.
•
Ability to place a TV, sound bar or artwork above the fireplace.
The DHM system relies on an optimized flow of air both through the appliance and the enclosure. As such the
installation of the DHM system requires certain technical considerations when compared to traditional fireplaces.
Specifically, the DHM system requires the enclosure to be ventilated and requires the installer to ensure that a
minimum air outlet 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 "minimum clearance to combustible enclosures" section for details. Ensure to strictly adhere to
instructions.
**
Always check appliance manufacturers' recommendations to confirm suitability and any special
environmental limitations. For valuable or antique items, always refer to expert preservation instructions as
some items require specifically controlled temperature and/or humidity.
