APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE
Before finishing enclosure around appliance,

gaps between nailing flanges and framing
should be sealed with noncombustible insula-
tion or caulking.
If mounted on a raised platform, it must be a
continuous surface and not on blocks without
a solid surface. This will prevent entry of cold
air by means of conduction through total bot-
tom of appliance (see Figure 30).
