Installation
Installation Procedure
Uncrating
Check the crate for any possible damage sustained during transit. Carefully remove the appliance, removing all
packing material, again check for damage. Any damage to the appliance must be reported to the carrier
immediately.
Location
Proper placement of the appliance will ensure operator convenience and satisfactory performance. Adequate
clearance must be maintained so that the combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed for proper operation.
A minimum front clearance of 36 inches (914 mm) must be provided for servicing. The appliance must be kept
free and clear of combustible materials.
Clearances
The following minimum clearances must be followed:
NOTE: For use on combustible floor with 6” legs, or for 6” non-combustible curb mount with 3” recess.
Placing Appliance
Place the appliance in the required position and level by means of the adjustable legs. The surface on which the
appliance is to be installed must be capable of adequately supporting the weight of the appliance.
Leveling
For proper and safe operation, each appliance must be level.
6” legs are mounted using four hex-head bolts per leg and each leg is adjustable simply by turning the inner
cylinder leg, clockwise to lower and counter-clockwise to elevate.
NOTE: A carpenter’s level can be used on the plate shelf for left to right leveling.
