Framing and Clearances
A. Selecting Appliance Location
When selecting a location for the appliance it is important
to consider the required clearances to walls (see Fig-
ure 5.1).
WARNING! Risk of Fire or Burns! Provide adequate
clearance around air openings and for service access. Due
to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out
of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
