APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE
Before finishing the enclosure around the
appliance, inspect all joints around the
outer surround. Any gaps between the nailing
flanges and the framing should be sealed with
noncombustible insulation or caulking.
If the appliance is mounted on a raised plat-
form, it must be a continuous surface and
not on blocks without a solid surface. This
will prevent the entry of cold air by means
of conduction through the total bottom of the
appliance (see Figure 3).
