The stove must be placed on solid concrete, solid masonry, or when installed on a combustible floor, on a

UL Listed floor protectors, refer to manufacturers instructions for installation directions. Manufacturers of listed
floor protectors include Imperial Metal Products and Hy-C among others. To calculate R-Values for alternative
