2.Place the appliance into the framing and secure it.

Note: If appliance is to be raised above floor level, a platform must be built to support the appliance.

3.Install the supply line to the appliance using a 1/2" NPT black iron gas line terminating 2 5/16" above the bottom of the appli- ance. The gas line may be installed from either side or from the rear of the appliance (see Figure 16, page 11).
