BE INSTALLED LOWER THAN THE SPACERS.
THE HEADER MAY BE IN DIRECT CONTACT
WITH THE TOP SPACERS BUT MAY NOT BE
SUPPORTED BY THEM.
Note: The framed depth, 21-3/4" (552 mm)
from a framed wall, must always be measured
from a finished surface. If a wall covering such
as drywall is to be attached to the rear wall, then
the 21-3/4" (552 mm) must be measured from
the drywall surface. It is important that this
dimension be exact.
If the appliance is to be elevated above floor
level, a solid continuous platform must be
constructed.
The header may rest on the top metal spacers,
but must not be notched to fit around them.
Consult all local codes.
