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.
