Installation Option 1 (open enclosure) leaves a complete air outlet opening above the enclosure to provide the
necessary air circulation path for the Dynamic Heat Control™ system. This has been found to be well accepted
with respect to fi nal appearance and offer minimal distraction. It also allows for effi cient circulation of air within the
room. This option offers the simplest method for framing and installation. 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.

Front air outlet opening must

Installation Option 2 (front opening) requires an air outlet opening to be framed no more than 1.5” below the
enclosure top to avoid trapping heat in the upper areas and the air outlet opening centered on the appliance center.
Minimum air outlet opening dimensions must be followed. Framing the air outlet opening lower will overheat the
appliance, the enclosure, and fi nishing material.
