7.3 Floor protector

Your stove is designed to keep the floor from overheating. It should be placed on a non
combustible surface to protect the floor of hot embers that could fall from the stove during
loading and maintenance. As shown in the table below and by the dotted area in the figure
Clearances to combustibles and floor protection, there are differences between the
floor protections in Canada and in the United States.
*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).
