FLOOR
PROTECTION
•
This
wood
stove
requires
a
UL
listed
type
1
spark
and
ember
floor
protector
if
the
stove
is
to
be
installed
on
a
combustible
floor.
If
the
floor
the
stove
is
to
be
installed
on
is
already
non
‐
combustible
(i.e.
a
concrete
floor
in
a
basement),
no
floor
protection
is
needed
(although
a
decorative
floor
protector
can
still
be
used
for
aesthetic
reasons).
•
When
using
any
UL
listed
type
1
spark
and
ember
floor
protector,
consider
that
this
stove
is
not
only
heavy
but
will
induce
heating
and
cooling
cycles
on
the
floor
protector
which
can
damage
tile
and
loosen
mortar
and
grout
joints
located
near
the
stove.
•
The
spark
and
ember
floor
protector
should
be
UL
approved
or
equivalent
(ULC
if
Canada)
and
must
be
noncombustible.
Since
the
majority
of
the
heat
from
this
unit
is
radiant,
the
floor
protector
only
serves
to
keep
ashes
and
sparks
from
landing
on
combustible
flooring
near
the
unit.
A
hearth
rug
is
NOT
an
approved
substitute
for
a
proper
hearth
pad.
No
R
Value
is
necessary.
•

The
floor
protector
must
extend
at

8

from
the
sides
of
the
door
opening
and
8

from
the
rear
of
the
unit.
•

The

protector
must
extend
at
least
450.0

mm
from
the
