Note: Feet should have long end going out the 

front of heater, and the edge coinciding with side of 

heater. If feet overhang side of the heater, switch 

leg location.
3.  Place heater on non-combustible surface (see 

Locating Heater above) before proceeding with 

gas connection. If this will be a permanent loca-

tion, heater may be locked into position using 

anchoring holes in mounting feet.

Note: Use of floor mounting feet will require you to 

use a 3/8 NPT street elbow to make gas connection.
