(Do not use long fasteners thicker than the wall paneling material to
avoid penetrating the appliance).

appliance must be sealed with non-combustible materials. Sealants,
such as caulk or mastic used to seal the gap between the wall and
the appliance, should be rated at a minimum continuous exposure to
150ºC (122ºF).
4. If desired finishing includes a painted wall, 100% acrylic latex or oil-
based or standard acrylics may be used. Follow paint manufacturer's
