Installation Considerations
A. Hearth Protection Requirements
FLOOR PROTECTION: Floor protector must be non-
combustible material, extending beneath heater and to the
front, sides and rear as indicated. The fl oor 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 fl oor
is not suffi cient.
In US installations, it is necessary to install a fl oor protec-
tor a minimum of 16 inches (406mm) in front of glass and 8
inches (203mm) to both sides of the fuel loading door. Open
the door and measure 8 inches (203mm) from the side edge
of the opening in the face of the appliance. *See exception.
