This wood stove requires a UL listed type 1 spark and ember floor protector if the stove is to be
installed on a combustible floor. If the floor the stove is to be installed on is already
non‐combustible (i.e. a concrete floor in a basement), no floor protection is needed (although a
decorative floor protector can still be used for aesthetic reasons).
•
When using any UL listed type 1 spark and ember floor protector, consider that this stove is not only
heavy but will induce heating and cooling cycles on the floor protector which can damage tile and
loosen mortar and grout joints located near the stove.
•
The spark and ember floor protector should be UL approved or equivalent (ULC if Canada) and must
be noncombustible. Since the majority of the heat from this unit is radiant, the floor protector only
serves to keep ashes and sparks from landing on combustible flooring near the unit. A hearth rug is
NOT an approved substitute for a proper hearth pad. No R Value is necessary.
•
For the US: The floor protector must extend at least 16 in. from the front of the fuel opening, 8 in.
from the sides of the door opening and 8 in. from the rear of the unit.
•
For Canada: The floor protector must extend at least 450.0 mm from the front of the fuel opening,
200.0 mm from the sides of the door opening and 200.0 mm from the rear of the unit.
•
The spark and ember floor protector must extend 2 in. (50.8 mm.) on either side of any horizontal
venting runs and extend directly underneath any vertical venting pipe.
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE‐TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID,
OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR "FRESHEN UP" A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL SUCH
LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IN USE. ADDITIONALLY, NEVER APPLY FIRE‐
STARTER TO ANY HOT SURFACE OR EMBERS IN THE STOVE.
