of the appliance.
The 9660 Gravity type vented wall furnace
may be installed flat on a combustible-floor
or raised up on a hearth to keep the flame
at eye level. If the appliance is installed
directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood
flooring, the appliance must be installed on
metal or wood panel extending the full width
and depth of the appliance.
