Appliance Preparation

A. Securing and Leveling Appliance
CAUTION! Risk of Cuts, Abrasions or Flying Debris.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses during instal-
lation. Sheet metal edges are sharp.
Position, level, and secure the appliance.
• Place the appliance into position on either a wood or
noncombustible continuous fl at surface.
• Level the appliance from side to side and front to back.
• Shim the appliance with noncombustible material, such
as sheet metal, as necessary.
• Nailing tabs must be moved from shipping position to
installation position and secured to framing. Bend the
two nailing tabs out on each side. See Figure 4.1.
B. 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 fl ashing and high temperature
sealant must be used. Adhesive polymeric fl ashing
materials may melt.
• For brick, stone, stucco and similar construction, weep
screeds should be installed per regional codes.
• See Section 3.F. and Figures 3.1 and 3.2 for more
information regarding wall and enclosure construction
required to prevent moisture penetration into the
structure. The appliance will shed moderate amounts
of water but is not waterproof.
