piece into the corresponding corner with two 1/2 inch
self-tapping screws. See Figure 1.

the appliance corners. When the ll pieces are fastened
with the screws, the notches allow them to be secured
into position.
The factory-supplied non-combustible board should be
installed to the face of the appliance before installing the
nishing template.
