WARNING
!
• Dynamic Heat Control™ MUST be installed during the installation of the appliance BEFORE appliance venting and gas
are installed.
• 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, bed, carriages,
or play pens. This bag is not a toy. Knot before throwing away.

Dynamic Heat Control™ is a system for managing the
heat produced by the appliance at and around the fireplace.
The purpose of the Dynamic Heat Control™ is to move
the heat away from the fireplace to allow it to circulate more
effectively within the living space. By installing the Dynamic
Heat Control™ both the installer and the user gain considerable benefits, see the following;
Screws
Deflectors
High Limit Switch
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 degrading
to sensitive finish material (cracks or discoloration).
• No additional electrical, 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 enclosure. 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 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

installation planning
2.1 installation option 1 - open enclosure (enclosure stops short of the ceiling)
NOT Suitable for Dynamic Heat Control™ Plus
It is one option not to finish or close in the top of the enclosure to provide the necessary air circulation path for the
Dynamic Heat Control™ system. Leaving a complete air outlet opening above the enclosure has been found to
be well accepted with respect to final appearance and offer minimal distraction. It also allows for efficient circulation
of air within the room. This option offers the simplest method for framing and installation. (If installing Dynamic Heat
Control™ Plus, refer to option 2 or 3 - DHC Plus cannot be used with option 1). Limit the air outlet opening
height to 4” to reduce the risk of items inadvertly falling into the enclosure. The air outlet opening must extend
around the entire perimeter, or the entire front face of the enclosure, where the enclosure runs from wall
to wall.

Minimum air outlet opening dimensions must be followed. The opening is required to be framed no more than 1.5” below the
enclosure top (see option 2 diagram) to avoid trapping heat in the upper areas and the air outlet opening centered on the appliance
center. Framing the air outlet opening lower will overheat the appliance, the enclosure, and finishing material.

Suitable for Dynamic Heat Control™ Plus
Minimum air outlet opening dimension must be followed. The opening is required to be framed no more than 1.5” below the

WARNING
!
S
Room 1
• When using a rear air outlet opening,
it is critical that the adjoining room or
living spaces are in direct air communication (i.e. of an open plan configuration
or connected by a permanently open
doorway or archway). This prevents
the appliance from being in a negative
pressure more than that of the adjoining
room. Failure to follow these requirements can result in reversing the Dynamic Heat Control™ air flow and will
cause the appliance, safety barrier, and
finishing materials to overheat, creating
a fire hazard.

note:
Increasing the air outlet opening will allow the appliance, the glass barrier (if equipped), the temperatures on the surfaces above the fireplace opening, and the enclosure be at cooler temperatures. It will also allow the air to circulate more effectively in the room. However,
if the appliance is equipped with the Dynamic Heat Control™ Plus, then the opening size must be 80 sq. in. for models
LV38-1, LV50-2, LVX38, and LVX50, or 160 sq. in. for models LV62, LV74, LVX62, and LVX74.

note:
See-thru appliances require front or rear air outlet opening. If desired, it can be installed with both front and rear air outlet openings
to allow heat to circulate in two rooms however it is recommended to install the air outlet opening at different heights that meet the
installation parameters for aesthetic purposes. For Dynamic Heat Control™ plus, a second opening MUST NOT be installed
2.4 installation option 4 - open enclosure with hard combustible valance
NOT Suitable for Dynamic Heat Control™ Plus
is similar to option 1 with the addition of a hard combustible valance. Minimum opening dimensions and valance dimensions
must be followed (See option 4 diagram). Restricting air movement within the valance area will overheat the appliance,
the enclosure, and finishing material.
NOTE: Air outlet opening must be at least continuous
around the top of the enclosure for a valance to be permitted. Using the minimum air outlet opening from option 1 or 2
is not permitted and will overheat the appliance.

5.0 minimum framing dimensions
note:
When using optional finishing accessories, the framing dimensions and finishing materials may differ from what is outlined in the section below; refer to the leaflet instructions supplied in the accessory kit for specific framing and finishing
specifications.
• Risk of fire!
• In order to avoid the possibility of exposed insulation or vapour barrier coming in contact with the appliance body, it is
recommended that the walls of the appliance enclosure be “finished” (i.e. drywall / sheetrock), as you would finish any
other outside wall of a home. This will ensure that clearance to combustibles is maintained within the cavity.
• Do not notch the framing around the appliance stand offs. Failure to maintain air space clearance may cause over heating
and fire. Prevent contact with sagging or loose insulation or framing and other combustible materials. Block opening into
the chase to prevent entry of blown-in insulation. Make sure insulation and other materials are secured.
• Minimum clearance to combustibles must be maintained or a serious fire hazard could result.
note:
For heavier finishing materials such as marble, we recommend adding extra support to the frame. Ensure there is
adequate floor support for the appliance and finishing material.
