FLOOR PROTECTION: Floor protector must be non-combustible material, extending beneath heater and to the front/sides/rear

as indicated. The floor must be non-combustible or otherwise adequately protected from radiant heat given off by the unit and

from sparks and falling embers. A layer of thin brick or ceramic tile over a combustible floor is not sufficient. A listed hearth pad

that has a "k" value of .84 or lower meets this requirement.

In US installations, it is necessary to install a floor protector of 1/2" thick metal clad millboard ("k" value = .84) or equivalent at

least 16" (457mm) in front of glass door and 8" (203mm) to both sides of the fuel loading door. Open the door and measure 8"

(203mm) from the side edge of the opening in the face of the stove. See *exception below.

See Alternate Materials Worksheet on Page 8 to determine if alternate floor protection materials are acceptable.

In Canada, similar floor protection must be provided 18" (457mm) in front and 8" (203mm) from the sides and rear of the

stove. See *exception below.

*EXCEPTION: Non-combustile floor protection must extend beneath the flue pipe when installed with horizontal venting

and extend 2" (51mm) beyond each side.
