5.  Installation Instructions

PHSI-MCE kits must be installed on the two inside 

passive heat knockouts unless a HEAT-OUT-GAS or 

HEAT-ZONE-GAS will also be installed. Outer knockouts 

may be used for additional heat management systems 

(HEAT-OUT-GAS, HEAT-ZONE-GAS).  Do not remove 

the outer knockouts if they will not be used.

Only one passive heat option may be installed on a single 

appliance. Passive Heat kits without ducts may not be 

used in conjunction with the Ducted Passive Heat kit.

1.  Remove the two inner heat management knockouts 

from the top of the appliance by dislodging them with 

a hammer and then using a screwdriver to remove 

from the holes.  See Figure 5.1 and Figure 5.2.  Install 

collars over the openings using hurricane screws 

provided in the kit.

WARNING!  Risk of Overheating! 

Both passive heat 

side discharge assemblies included with kit 

MUST 

be 

installed and operational.  Overheating of appliance and 

combustible materials will occur. 

Install Assemblies and Flexible Duct - Side Discharge

CAUTION! Risk of Cuts, Abrasions or Flying Debris. 

Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during 

installation. Sheet metal edges are sharp.

WARNING! Risk of Fire!  

Remove ONLY the knockouts 

required  for  the  specific  heat  management  kits  being 

installed.    Appliance  and  combustible  materials  will 

overheat.

Figure 5.7.  Quantity and location of screws will vary 

between models.
