combustible material as shown on figure 1.3 (see the dotted line area).

*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).
Reduced clearances using shielding
You may decrease the clearances by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the
ceiling and the stove. These heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and can include
sheet metal, a rigid non-combustible sheet or a masonry wall.
Clearances of not less than 1" (25 mm) and not more than 3" (76 mm) between the bottom of the
shield and the floor and not less than 3" (76 mm) between the top of the shield and the ceiling
must be respected to allow vertical air circulation behind the shield. The shield must extend 20"
(500 mm) above the stove top and 18" (450mm) to each side of the stove (see graphic 1).
Following the installation of such a heat radiation shield, the clearances mentioned on the stove
certification plate may be reduced as stated in the following table.
