8.2 Floor Protection
This stove is designed to prevent the floor from overheating. However, it must be placed on a
non-flammable surface to protect the floor from hot embers that may fall during loading.
Any type of tile will require a continuous non combustible sheet beneath to prevent the possibility
of embers falling through to the combustible floor if cracks or separation should occur in the
finished surface. Check local codes for approved alternatives. No protection is required if the
unit is installed on a non-combustible floor (ex: concrete).
