APPLIANCE ENCLOSURE
Before nishing the enclosure around the appli-
ance, inspect all joints around the outer surround.
Any gaps between the nailing anges and the
framing should be sealed with noncombustible
insulation or caulking.
If the appliance is mounted on a raised platform,
it must be a continuous surface and not on blocks
without a solid surface. This will prevent the entry
of cold air by means of conduction through the
total bottom of the appliance (see Figure 32).

The M36E, VM36E, M42E and VM42E B-vent
replaces are approved for use with optional bi-
fold glass doors (see Accessories, page 29). The
glass panels may be ordered and installed anytime
after the replace installation is complete.
Follow these steps to install left and right panels:
1. With the handle at the bottom, completely fold
the panel on its hinges.
2. With the handle facing the center of the rebox
opening, insert the lower pivot pin on the glass
door panel into the hole in pivot plate on the
bottom edge of the replace opening (see
Figure 33).
3. Keeping the folded door tilted, slide the upper
two pins into the guide track found under the
upper facial edge of the rebox opening.
4. Tilt the glass assembly fully vertical until the
outer pivot pin snaps into the mounting hole
in the upper spring clip (see Figure 33).
5. Once the top and bottom pins are secured,
unfold the door into the closed position.
