B. Securing and Leveling the Appliance
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Prevent contact with:
• Sagging or loose insulation
• Insulation backing or plastic
• Framing and other combustible materials
Block openings into the chase to prevent entry of blown-
in insulation. Make sure insulation and other materials
are secured.
DO NOT notch the framing around the appliance
standoffs.
Failure to maintain air space clearance could cause
overheating and fire.
The diagram shows how to properly position, level, and
secure the appliance. See Figure 6.14. Nailing tabs are
provided to secure the appliance to the framing members.
• Bend out nailing tabs on each side.
• Place the appliance into position.
• Keep nailing tabs flush with the framing.
• Plum, square and level the appliance from side to side
and front to back.
• Shim the appliance as necessary, keeping the bottom
supported, level and straight. It is acceptable to use wood
shims underneath the appliance.
• Place a level on top, sides and bottom as shown in Figure
6.14.
• Secure the appliance to the framing by using nails or
screws through the nailing tabs.
• Optional: Secure the appliance to the floor by inserting
two screws through the pilot holes at the bottom of the
