Level the appliance from side to side and front
to back.
•
Shim the appliance with non-combustible
material, such as sheet metal, as necessary.
•
Chase platforms, including hearths, should
slope away from the structure at 1/8 inch to
1/4 inch per foot.

Nailing tabs must be folded out from shipping
position to installation position and secured to
framing. Bend the two nailing tabs out on each
side. See Figure 4.1.
H. Flashing
•
Flash the appliance in a manner consistent with
regional practices to prevent water penetration
around the appliance. Due to elevated
temperatures across the top of the appliance,
metal flashing and high temperature sealant
must be used. Adhesive polymers flashing
materials may melt. See Figure 3.7.
•
Brick, stone, stucco and similar construction
should be installed per regional codes, with
consideration taken for integrated drain pan
position.

See Section 3.H. and Figures 3.1 and 3.2. for
more information regarding wall and enclosure
