SECTION II: FLOOR AND WALL PROTECTION

A. Floor Protection
There is no protection required if your floor is constructed of a
noncombustible material such as concrete. If your floor is constructed of a
combustible material such as hardwood, carpet or linoleum some type of
floor protection will be required. When selecting the required floor
protection it is important that you install a U.L. approved board. The
approved floor protection should be placed underneath the furnace, and
should be large enough to provide a minimum of 8" (8 inches) behind the
unit, 8"(8 inches) on both sides, and 16" (16 inches) at the front door(s)
location. It should also be placed underneath the chimney connector and
extend at least 2" (2 inches) on either side of the chimney connector.
B. Wall Protection
Your furnace can be placed as close as 16" (16 inches) from a
combustible wall (such as paneling, wallpaper or drywall) to the side of the
unit; from the back of the unit, 13" (13 inches) is required to a combustible.
The single-wall pipe would need to remain at least 18" (18 inches) from
combustible surfaces.
In corner installations, the unit should be placed so that the stove is at
least 12" (12 inches) from any combustibles, and the single-wall pipe
should be at least 23" (23 inches) from any combustibles in a corner
installation.
Wall protection will be required if you need to place you furnace closer
than the allowed measurements stated above, and this can be
accomplished by adding a protective board to the wall. The board can be
mounted to the wall leaving a one-inch air space between the wall and the
board. This can be done by using metal spacers, and should allow you to
place your unit so that the sides of the unit are at least 12" (12 inches)
from the protective board – be sure to check and follow the board
manufacturer's instructions and any local codes.

SECTION III: FREESTANDING PLACEMENT AND HOOK-UP

Once you have completed your flue system and installed the floor
protection, you are now ready to place the unit. All of our stoves are well
constructed, making them very heavy. We recommend using a handcart
for moving the unit; the door and firebrick can be removed to make the
unit slightly lighter (first make a diagram of the firebrick layout for later
reference). Never attempt to handle this product alone.
After the unit is in place the flue collar, spring handles and any optional
equipment can be added.
