FRAMING
Once the final location has been determined, ob-
serving clearances for the vent termination, you
may construct framing using dimensions shown
in Figures 7 to 13 depending on your particular
installation
If the appliance is to be installed directly on carpeting,
tile (other than ceramic), or any combustible mate-
rial other than wood flooring, the appliance must be
installed upon 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 8). Depending on installation, refer
to appropriate illustrations.
