7.3 FLOOR PROTECTOR

Your stove has been conceived to prevent the floor from overheating. However, it must be placed
on a noncombustible surface to protect the floor from hot embers that could fall from the stove
while loading or cleaning. There are differences between floor protections in Canada and in the
United States, as it is illustrated in the table below and on the figure Clearances to combustible
materials and floor protection.

*Steel with a minimum thickness of 0.015'' (0.38 mm) or ceramic tiles sealed together with
grout. No protection is required if the unit is installed on a non-combustible floor (ex: concrete).
Note 1: The floor protection at the back of the stove is limited to the stove's required
clearance if such clearance is smaller than 8 inches (203 mm).
Note 2: Only required under the horizontal section of the connector. Must exceed each side of
the connector by at least 2 inches (51 mm).
