• 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

DO NOT
notch the framing around the appliance
standoffs.
Failure to maintain air space clearance may cause
overheating and fire.
The diagram shows how to properly position, level, and se-

• Bend out nailing tabs on each side.
• Place the appliance into position.
• Keep nailing tabs flush 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.
• Secure the appliance to the floor by inserting two screws
through the pilot holes at the bottom of the appliance.
