Commentary
There is a listing category for this type of appliance. If the current appliance is not listed and labeled, another manufacturer should be sought. If the appliance is listed and labeled, it came with manufacturers instructions and may show the clearance requirements on the label as well. Equipment and appliances are required to be installed and used in accordance with the listing, labeling and instructions.
