Clearance to non-combustible wall
We recommend a minimum clearance to non-combustible material of at least 2” (50
mm) so that cleaning is easy. The cleaning door of the chimney should be accessible
at all times.
Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority.
Floor protection
Floor protection must be non-combustible material extending beneath the stove,
and to the front and sides from door opening and to rear as indicated.
The size of the floor protection is different in US compared to Canada. See User
Manual pages 11 & 18 for more information.
Note:
In Canada, to comply with CSA B365, Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Ap-
pliances and Equipment, any combustible covering beneath the appliance and/or
within the area extending horizontally at least 450 mm (18 in) beyond the appliance
on any side equipped with a door, and at least 200 mm (8 in) beyond the appliance
on other sides, shall be protected by a continuous, durable, non-combustible pad
that will provide ember protection. The 450 mm (18 in) ember protection required on
any side with a door shall extend for the full width of the appliance plus the 200 mm
(8 in) required on each side of the appliance without a door. Where an appliance is
installed less than 200 mm (8 in) from a wall, the ember pad need only extend to the
base of the wall. An ember pad shall not be placed on top of a carpet unless the pad
is structurally supported to prevent displacement and distortion.
