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 may
cause overheating and fi re.
For details on setting the appliance in the framing, refer
to section 13.B. The diagram shows how to properly po-
sition, level, and secure the appliance (see Figure 9.3 &
9.4). Nailing tabs are provided to secure the appliance to
the framing members.
• Bend out the two nailing tabs on each side.
• Place the appliance into position.
• Keep nailing tabs fl ush with the framing.
• Level the appliance from side to side and front to back.
• Shim the appliance as necessary. It is acceptable to use
wood shims underneath the appliance.
• Secure the appliance to the framing by using nails or
screws through the nailing tabs.
