Dynamic Heat Control™
PATENT PENDING
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

culate more effectively within the living space. By install-
ing the Dynamic Heat Control™ both the installer and
