FRAMING
Once the final location has been determined, observing height
clearances for vent termination, you may construct framing using
dimensions shown in Figures 7 through 12, depending on your
installation.
If the appliance is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile (other
than ceramic), or any combustible material other than wood floor-
ing, the appliance must be installed on a metal or wood panel
extending the full width and depth of the appliance. There are three
holes on each side of the bottom of the unit where screws can be used
to secure the unit to the floor.
The gas supply line may be connected through the side framing or
alternately through the lower sub-flooring or a platform base if
provided (see Figures 10 and 11, page 7). Depending on the
installation, refer to the appropriate illustration.
