Your stove must be mounted on fireproof surface. If you have decided to mount it on an area 
where flooring material is not fireproof, then you must add a panel of asbestos between the 
stove and the floor. The thickness and dimensions of this panel differ according to each 
model, as outlined in the following chart.

Note: Asbestos panel can be replaced by a ceramic of gauge 18 sheet metal. 
 

1)  Whether you choose to install your stove cornerwise in a room or parallel to a wall, you 

must adhere to the specifications for distances to be respected.  These are clearly 
illustrated for each particular model.

2)  Note : Only competent authorities can approve shorter distances. 
 
3)  Avoid placing wood or other inflammable substances too close to your heating unit.  As 

we have already stipulated, make sure that the proper distances are respected between 
your unit and any inflammable substances.
