7.3 Floor Protector
This stove is designed to prevent the floor from overheating. However, it must be placed on
a nonflammable surface to protect the floor from hot embers that may fall during loading. The
floor protection must be a continuous, non combustible material, such as steel with a minimum
thickness of 0.015" (0.38 mm) or ceramic tiles sealed together with grout. Cement board, brick,
or any other approved or listed material suited for floor protection. Any type of tile will require a
continuous non combustible sheet beneath to prevent the possibility of embers falling through
to the combustible floor if cracks or separation should occur in the finished surface. Check
local codes for approved alternatives. No protection is required if the unit is installed on a non-
combustible floor (ex: concrete). See table and figure below.
