FLOOR PROTECTION
This heater must have a non-combustible floor
protector (ember protection) installed beneath it if the
floor is of combustible material. If a floor pad is used,
it should be UL listed or equal. The floor pad or non-
combustible surface should be large enough to cover
at least the area under the product and 6” (152 mm)
beyond the front and beyond each side of the fuel
loading and ash removal openings. Floor protection
must extend under and 2“ (51 mm) to each side of
the chimney tee for an interior vertical installation.
Canadian Installations require a minimum of 450 mm
[17.7”] beyond the front of the unit and 200 mm [7.8”]
beyond each side of the unit. A Floor Protector of 1/4”
thick is recommended for this installation.
Attention:
DO NOT vent under any porch, deck, awning, or in any semi enclosed or roofed area. Doing so may
result in unpredictable airflow at the vent cap under certain conditions and can affect the performance of
your stove, as well as, other unforeseeable issues.
