what is the minimum required distance from top of stove and the cieling

The minimum required clearance from the top of the DutchWest 2460 stove to the ceiling is 36 inches. This distance can potentially be reduced with a certified heat shield, but the exact reduced clearance must follow the stove manufacturer’s specifications.
