7 Appliance Preparation
A. Securing and Leveling the Appliance
The diagram shows how to properly position, level, and se- cure the appliance (see Figure 7.7). Nailing tabs are pro- vided to secure the appliance to the framing members.
•Place the appliance into position.
•Level the appliance from side to side and front to back.
•Shim the appliance, as necessary. It is acceptable to use wood shims.
•Bend out nailing tabs on each side.
•Keep nailing tabs flush with the framing.
•Secure the appliance to the framing by using nails or screws through the nailing tabs.
WARNING
Fire Risk.
• ALWAYS maintain specified
clearances around the appliance.
• Do NOT notch into the framing around the appliance spacers.
Failure to keep insulation, framing or other material away from the appliance may cause fire.
