Floor Protection
This appliance requires a non-combustible floor protection to protect against burning embers. If the floo r is to be stone, tile,
brick, etc., it must be mortared or grouted to form a continuous, non -combustible surface. If a chimney connector extends
horizontally over the floor, protection must cover the floor under the connector and at least 2” (51 mm) to either side.
The floor protection must extend completely beneath the woodstove and to the front, sides, and rear as indicated.

16” minimum to the front of the glass door
8” (203 mm) minimum beyond the sides of the door opening
0” minimum to the back of the stove body
CANADA REQUIREMENTS

Ventilation
(Residential homes that does not requires an outside air inlet). Ventilation is essential when using a solid fuel woodstove.
The combustion process uses oxygen from inside the home, and it may be necessary to open a window or install a vent to
provide fresh air in a house that is well insulated.

Fresh Air
In all manufactured homes and in many site-built residences (subject to local code), a woodstove may require outside air for
combustion. A Ø120 mm outside air floor duct is available through your dealer.
This woodstove can take in outside air directly through the base. This type of installation requires a hole through the floor
protector and the use of an outside air floor duct to penetrate into the air space below the home.
The possible effects of room air starvation, icing, exhaust fans, etc. and the need for adequate ventilation.
The following is not mandatory, but may be included for information. Provision for outside combustion air may be nece s-
sary to ensure that fuel -burning appliances do not discharge combustion products into the house. Guidelines to determine
the need for additional combustion air may not be adequate for every situation. If in doubt, it is advisable to provide add i-
tional air.
a) Outside combustion air may be required if:
1. The solid-fuel-fired appliance does not draw steadily, smoke rollout occurs, fuel burns poorly, or back -drafts oc-
cur, whether or not there is combustion present.
2. Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house, such as fireplaces or other heating appliances, smell, do not operate
properly, suffer smoke roll-out when opened, or back-draft, whether or not there is combustion present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms.
4. The house is equipped with a well -sealed vapor barrier and tight fitti ng windows and/or has any powered devices
that exhaust house air.
5. There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter.
6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.
If these or other indications suggest that infiltration air is inadequate, ad ditional combustion air should be provided from the
outdoors. Outside combustion air can be provided to the appliance by the following means:
1. Direct connection: appliances can only use direct connection of outside combustion air if they are certified for this
type of installation. Installations shall comply with the manufacturer's instructions.
