Floor protector 

 
If the stove is to be installed on top of a combustible floor, it must be guarded by a non 
combustible material as shown on figure 1.3 (see the dotted line area).

Note 2 

 
*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  prote

ction  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). 

 
Reduced clearances using shielding 

 
You may decrease the clearances by installing heat radiation shields between the walls 
or the ceiling and the stove.  These heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, 
and can include sheet metal, a rigid non-combustible sheet or a masonry wall. 
 
Clearances  of  not  less  than  1"  (25  mm)  and  not  more  than  3"  (76  mm)  between  the 
bottom of the shield and the floor and not less than 3" (76 mm) between the top of the 
shield and the ceiling must be respected to allow vertical air circulation behind the shield. 
The  shield  must  extend  20"  (500  mm)  above  the  stove  top  and  18"  (450mm)  to  each 
side of the stove 

(see Graphic 1).

 

 
Following  the  installation  of  such  a  heat  radiation  shield,  the  clearances  mentioned  on 
the stove certification plate may be reduced as stated in the following table.
