FLOOR PROTECTION: Floor protector must be noncombustible material, extending beneath heater and to the
front/sides/rear as indicated. The floor must be non-combustible or otherwise adequately protected from radiant heat
given off by the unit and from sparks and falling embers. A layer of thin brick or ceramic tile over a combustible floor is not
sufficient. A listed hearth pad that has a “k” value of .84 or lower meets this requirement.
In USA installations, it is necessary to install a floor protector of 1/2" thick metal clad millboard (“k” value = .84) or equivalent
at least 16" in front of glass door and 8" to both sides of the fuel loading door. Open the door and measure 8” from the side
edge of the opening in the face of the stove. See *exception below.
See Alternate Materials Worksheet on
Page 9 to determine if alternate floor protection materials are acceptable.
In Canada, similar floor protection must be provided 18" (457mm) in front and 8" (203mm) from the sides and rear
of the stove. See *exception below.
*EXCEPTION: Non-combustile floor protection must extend beneath the flue pipe when installed with horizontal venting
and extend 2” (51mm) beyond each side.
