This is also referred to as a Floor Protector Plate or Floor Protector in the appliance instructions. If the appliance can be installed in an elevated setting it is recommended to increase the hearth depth to safely contain any falling logs or embers. The higher the appliance is installed the deeper the hearth should be to protect the floor. 5.
