NOTE

COLD CLIMATE INSULATION

If you live in a cold climate, seal all cracks around your appliance, and wherever cold air could enter the room, with noncombustible material. It is especially important to insulate the outside chase cavity between the studs and under the floor on which the appliance rests, if the floor is above ground level.
