FRAMING
Once the final location has been determined,
observing height clearances for vent termi-
nation, you may construct framing using
dimensions shown in Figures 7 through 9,
page 5, 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.
