fi nishing to avoid costly reconstruction.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION

cover the black painted face of the appliance. It is permissible to bring combustible wall board to the top of the stand offs on
the top and the sides of the unit. A 300°F minimum adhesive may be used to attach facing materials to the black surface. If
