APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE
Before finishing the enclosure around the appliance, inspect all joints
around the outer surround. Any gaps between the nailing flanges and the
framing should be sealed with noncombustible insulation or caulking.
If the appliance is mounted on a raised platform, it must be a
continuous surface and not on blocks without a solid surface. This
will prevent the entry of cold air by means of conduction through the
total bottom of the appliance. (see Figure 32).
