WARNING
Dynamic Heat Control™ Plus (DHC™ Plus) CANNOT be installed without Dynamic Heat Control™.
DHC™ Plus is ONLY compatible with Dynamic Heat Control™ Installation Option #2 (front opening) or
Installation Option #3 (rear opening).
DHC™ Plus MUST be installed with an air outlet opening or it will become a potential fire hazard.
• 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.
• An appliance may use only one DHC™ Plus blower kit.
• We recommend installing DHC™ Plus during installation of the appliance BEFORE appliance venting and gas
are installed.
• Installation MUST be performed by a qualified installer who has completed the Dynamic Heat Control™ System
Certification course via Napoleon’s online education portal NEducation.
• Ensure the appliance is completely cool before starting installation.
• 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.
1.1 introduction
Dynamic Heat Control™ Plus (DHC™ Plus) is a system for managing the heat produced by the appliance at
and around the appliance. The purpose of DHC™ Plus is to move heat away from the appliance and to primarily
distribute some or all of it to the exterior. Where duct lengths are greater than 5 feet or when passing through
uninsulated spaces such as an attic, it is recommended that the duct be insulated.
EN
Whilst it is practically possible to use DHC™ Plus to move heat to another location within the home,
please consider the following points carefully during the planning phase:
• The sound of the DHC™ Plus blower is similar to a bathroom fan (see “sound considerations” section).
• The DHC™ Plus system should not be used in small enclosed rooms with low ceilings, such as a small
bathroom, as the room will be quickly pressurized and the heat transfer from the fireplace will be reduced /
eliminated.
• The DHC™ Plus moves almost all the useable
heat. If the room is small in volume, it can quickly
become very warm. You may move unwanted
heat from one room to another, which may not
satisfy the customer. Therefore, carefully consider
the amount of heat and the size of the room
where it is being transferred to before beginning
installation.
• Where the DHC™ Plus system is used to transfer heat to another room, it is recommended to install a local
on/off switch so that the heat transfer can be disabled from the remote location if desired. The DHC™ Plus
system does not include a remote room thermostat.
1.2 installation options
There are three installation options available for DHC™ Plus, each with its own advantages:
Exterior Installation
DHC™ Plus is installed on the exterior wall of the appliance enclosure. It does not require venting, ducting, or a
bulkhead, and is therefore the simplest installation option. However, careful consideration should be made for the
sound of the DHC™ Plus blower. See “sound considerations” and “exterior installation” sections for details.
Remote Exterior Installation
DHC™ Plus is installed remotely from the appliance enclosure. Though it requires venting and a bulkhead, the
increased distance from the blower ensures sounds from air flow will be significantly less apparent. See “sound
considerations” and “remote exterior installation” sections for details.
Remote Inline Installation
DHC™ Plus is installed inline anywhere between the appliance enclosure and the hot air exhaust assembly.
Similarly to remote exterior installations, this installation requires venting and a bulkhead, with the addition of
ducting. This installation offers the most opportunity for unique configurations, including through multiples rooms
or floor levels. See “remote inline installation” section for details.

1.4 sound considerations
The DHC™ Plus system uses a high performance fan to move unwanted heat outside. Similar to a bathroom fan
or stove range hood, the use of a fan to move air results in sound.
note:
Consider blower kit location carefully as the air flow sound from the blower is more apparent the closer it is to the
appliance and customer. This is particularly important if using the fan to transfer heat inside a home.
1.5 venting & ducting
Depending on the installation type, DHC™ Plus requires the use of ducting that is not supplied:
Exterior Installation
• N/A
Remote Exterior Installation
• 6” steel rigid venting between appliance enclosure and DHC™ Plus blower kit
Remote Inline Installation
• 6” steel ducting between appliance enclosure and DHC™ Plus blower kit
• 6” steel rigid venting between DHC™ Plus blower kit and hot air exhaust assembly
note:
Always check local codes before installing the DHC™ Plus system.

WARNING
• Minimum clearance to combustibles must be maintained or a serious fire hazard could result.
• DO NOT cover or place any items in the Dynamic Heat Control™ air outlet opening. Failure to comply with
these instructions will create a fire hazard.
DHC™ Plus CANNOT be mounted directly above or below the appliance vent terminal as this will
cause the system to fail. It MUST be mounted to the left or right of the appliance vent terminal.
• For optimal performance, we recommend installing DHC™ Plus within the top 12” (30.5cm) of the enclosure.
However, it MUST be installed above the appliance.
• The minimum height requirement above the appliance will vary depending on the appliance size. See “minimum
venting requirements” section of your appliance manual for details.
note:
Consider blower location carefully as the air flow sound from the blower is more apparent the closer it is to the
appliance. See “sound considerations” section for details.

In this mounting option, the exterior housing assembly
is surface-mounted to the finished exterior wall
without the use of a wall flashing. S
requires the framing of a minimum Ø 6” (152mm)
clearance hole in the exterior wall for the air damper
assembly (see illustrations).
note:
When surface-mounting DHC™ Plus, ensure to fix
the appliance to studs.
Due to a variety of potential finish materials, brackets
to mount DHC™ Plus need to be fabricated on-site
from suitable materials and attached using selfdrilling fasteners at the dimples provided on the
side of the housing. Suitable flashing, drip edges,
and sealing must be completed in accordance with
good construction practices to weather-proof the
installation.
Care must be taken to fasten the DHC™ Plus
securely, and the weight of the system must not be
supported by the ducting or air damper assembly.
