Materials that are reported aspassing ASTM E136, standard test method for behaviour of materials in a vertical tube furnace at 1382ºF(750ºC) and UL763 shall be considered non-combustible materials.• Minimum clearance to combusibles must be maintained or a serious fire hazard could result.• The appliance requires a minimum enclosure height. Measure from the appliance base.• If steel stud framing kits with cement board are provided, or specified in the installation instructions, theymust be installed.• If specified in the installation instruction, finishing must be done using a non-combustible board, ceramic tile,marble, etc. Do NOT use wood or drywall.
