Floor Protection - England's Stove Works 15-W08 Installation & Operation Manual

•
This wood stove requires a U.L. listed (ULC if Canada) floor protector with a R factor of no less than
1.0, 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 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 floor protector should be UL rated and listed, or equivalent (ULC if Canada) and must be
noncombustible. A hearth rug is NOT an approved substitute for a proper hearth pad.
•
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 mm from the front of the fuel opening,
200 mm from the sides of the door opening and 200 mm from the rear of the unit.
•
The 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.
