If the stove is to be installed on top of a combustible floor, it must be guarded by a non
combustible material as shown on figure 1.3 (see the dotted line area).

Note 2
*Steel with a minimum thickness of 0.015’’ (0.38 mm) or ceramic tiles sealed together with grout. No
protection is required if the unit is installed on a non-combustible floor (ex: concrete).
Note 1:
The floor prote
ction at the back of the stove is limited to the stove’s required
clearance if such clearance is smaller than 8 inches (203 mm).
Note 2:
Only required under the horizontal section of the connector. Must exceed each
side of the connector by at least 2 inches (51 mm).
Reduced clearances using shielding
You may decrease the clearances by installing heat radiation shields between the walls
or the ceiling and the stove. These heat radiation shields must be installed permanently,
and can include sheet metal, a rigid non-combustible sheet or a masonry wall.
Clearances of not less than 1" (25 mm) and not more than 3" (76 mm) between the
bottom of the shield and the floor and not less than 3" (76 mm) between the top of the
shield and the ceiling must be respected to allow vertical air circulation behind the shield.
The shield must extend 20" (500 mm) above the stove top and 18" (450mm) to each
side of the stove
(see Graphic 1).
Following the installation of such a heat radiation shield, the clearances mentioned on
the stove certification plate may be reduced as stated in the following table.
